  • Demography Roman Spain
    CARRERAS MONFORT C. A new perspective for the demographic study of Roman Spain. Revista de Historia da Arte e Arqueologia n.2, 1995-1996; pp. 59-82. A NEW PERSPECTIVE FOR THE DEMOGRAPHIC STUDY OF ROMAN SPAIN César Carreras Monfort* * Universitat Oberta de Catalunya e-mail: [email protected] In the last years, there has been an increase in the number of demographic studies of ancient societies, with the main aim to recognize the internal organization of the populations and, to some extent, how the resources of a territory determined patterns of distribution [Gallo, 1984; Parkin, 1992]. Actually, within the limits of the Roman society, these studies allowed us to revise again basic concepts such as the relationship between the urban and rural world [López Paz, 1994], or even, to discuss about the degree of urbanism that supposedly it is accepted for the Graeco-Roman world. The demographic analyses on the Roman period were recently favoured by a better knowledge now, of the urban perimeters of ancient Roman cities, and the patterns of rural distribution; thanks to the contribution of either the urban archaeology and the rural field-surveys [Barker, 1991] and cadastres studies [Chouquer and Favory, 1991]. Furthermore, the important contribution of papyrology also stands out, since they supply information on demography, which despite being basically about Roman Egypt, it can be extrapolated to other provinces [Hombert and Preaux, 1952; Bagnall and Frier, 1994]. These new documental evidences allow us to carry out a new estimate, from another viewpoint, of the population in a very particular province such as Roman Spain, and also they become a headway in the detailed study of population patterns.

  • Jobs in Roman Spain
    JOBS IN ROMAN SPAIN Leonard A. Curchin A l'économie? L'épitaphe peut-être révélera un métier ignoré. (Marc Bloch, Apologie pour l'histoire [Paris 1952] 73) While the range of occupations attested for residents of the city of Rome has been the subject of several studies,1 considerably less attention has been focused upon jobs in the provinces. This disparity may be due partly to an understandably greater interest in the imperial capital than in peripheral regions, but also and perhaps chiefly to the fact that the columbaria of Rome provide convenient, "closed" samples of inscriptions from a single city within limited chronological bounds, whereas the epigraphic evidence (which is by far the largest segment of testimony)2 for provincial jobs, being scattered over vast geographical tracts and extensive periods of time, is far less diagnostic. An analysis of the epitaphs from a single provincial city would in most cases yield only a handful of jobs, while an attempted study of a chronologically restricted sample would be considerably impeded by our inability to date closely the majority of the inscriptions. For better or worse, then, all the inscriptions of a province or region should be studied as a whole, preferably in constant comparison with avail- able literary and iconographie evidence, and the provincial historian may thereby hope to reap a large selection of job titles from his chosen bailiwick.3 32 33 The present paper examines the types of jobs attested for the residents of Spain from the advent of the Romans in the late third century B.C.

  • A Roman in Name Only’, Eras Edition 13, Issue 2, June 2012
    Dustin Cranford, ‘A Roman in Name Only’, Eras Edition 13, Issue 2, June 2012 A Roman in Name Only: An Onomastic Study of Cultural Assimilation and Integration in Roman Spain Dustin Cranford (The University of North Carolina at Greensboro, NC, USA) Abstract: This paper studies the evolution of naming practices in Roman Spain as way to measure the limits of Romanization and determine the persistence of the indigenous culture. Onomastic evidence suggests that the indigenous population actively integrated itself into the Roman culture on its own terms, taking and leaving aspects of the Roman nomenclature at will in order to display romanitas, or Romanness. Upon close inspection, the names of many Hispano-Romans reveal a population that exhibited volition and agency in the process of Romanization. Variations in Roman naming components (e.g. voting tribes, filiations, tria nomina, etc.) show a selective adoption of the Roman nomenclature, while indigenous stems point to the persistence of many aspects of the indigenous culture. While there are many definitions and theories to Romanization, this study adopts what Leonard Curchin has described as the Integration Model, where the exchange between the Roman and indigenous culture produces a third, hybrid culture, or a provincial culture. Naming customs in Roman Spain point to the emergence of this provincial culture, one that adopted many features of Roman society, but equally preserved aspects of native Iberian customs. This study will explore various aspects of this topic, including the history of Roman Spain, the various parts of Roman nomenclature, and the actual onomastic evidence found in the Spanish provinces.

  • Fernando Pessoa, Poet, Publisher, and Translator
    FERNANDO PESSOA, POET, PUBLISHER, AND TRANSLATOR R. W. HOWES FERNANDO PESSOA is widely considered to be the greatest Portuguese poet of the twentieth century and a major writer of European stature. His enigmatic personality and the potent combination of poetic genius and metaphysics in his verse have fascinated a wide variety of readers both in Portugal and abroad. His invention of heteronyms, or alter egos, poets of his own creation who conducted a poetic 'drama in people', has found a response in the anxieties of the twentieth century, while the innovations in his poetic style, partly influenced by his fluency in English, have revolutionized modern Portuguese poetry. Pessoa published a relatively small proportion of his work during his lifetime, much of it in ephemeral periodical publications. He left behind a trunk full of manuscript poems and fragments of verse into which successive researchers have delved to produce a seemingly inexhaustible supply of'unpublished' writings. This has tended to divert attention from a detailed study of the works which he did publish while alive. ^ The British Library is fortunate to possess copies of all five of the volumes of Fernando Pessoa's verse which were published in his lifetime as well as some of the periodicals in which he published contributions, together with various other publications associated with him. These help to illuminate not only the bibliographical history of Pessoa as a poet but also his activities as a publisher and translator. They provide too an interesting illustration of the complex way in which a large research library's collections are built up, even where the works of a relatively modern author are concerned.

  • A Estrada Romana De Olisipo a Scallabis. Traçado E Vestígios Vasco Gil Mantas Professor Da Faculdade De Letras Da Universidade De Coimbra
    7 CIRa-ARQUEOLOGIA I – ATAS MESA REDONDA “DE OLISIPO A IERABRIGA” In Memoriam Gonzalo Arias Bonet A estrada romana de Olisipo a Scallabis. Traçado e vestígios VASCO GIL MANTAS ProFESSOR da FACUldade DE Letras da UNIVersidade DE Coimbra As viagens pelo vale do Tejo, entre Lisboa e Santarém, contam com numerosa bibliografia, da qual nos permite distinguir a narrativa romântica saída da pena de Almeida Garrett (1). A viagem descrita pelo escritor chama a atenção para algumas características das desloca- ções anteriores ao caminho de ferro, combinando trajeto fluvial e terrestre, sem esquecer a incomodidade e a insegurança de que todas, ou quase todas, se revestiam antes do triunfo da Revolução Industrial e do Estado Moderno, terminado o longo período que sucedeu ao colapso da ordem romana. Esta abundância de escritos, literários ou mais prosaicamente ligados às realidades e às necessidades do quotidiano, não é difícil de compreender, aten- dendo à importância do vale do Tejo neste troço que unia, já na Antiguidade, duas grandes cidades, Olisipo (Lisboa) e Scallabis (Santarém). Não foi certamente por acaso que Estrabão destacou, entre os raríssimos centros urbanos lusitanos que se dignou referir na sua obra, Olisipo e Moron, que cremos corresponder a Scallabis, sublinhando, no mesmo passo, a invulgar relevância do Tejo como via de comunicação (2). O vale foi caminho privilegiado, terrestre e aquático, dos contactos com o Mediterrâ- neo, desde muito antes da chegada dos primeiros romanos, comerciantes e militares, aqui se desenvolveu uma vigorosa cultura orientalizante (3), precoce contributo para conferir, tanto como os fatores geográficos, características atlântico-mediterrâneas ao nosso território.

  • The Contribution of Rome to Urbanism in Iberia
    proceedings of the British Academy, 86, 291-337 Innovation and Adaptation: The Contribution of Rome To Urbanism in Iberia SIMON KEAY Introduction ”HE TRANSITION BETWEEN IRONAGE AND ROMANin the Iberian peninsula marks an important horizon of cultural change. The late third century BC to the first century AD are generally understood to have witnessed the spread of the Latin language and Roman artistic and architectural symbols amongst native communities, by the side of a decline in native traditions. For many, this cultural ‘romanization’is implicitly understood to have been an inevitable process for most communities. Much research, therefore, has focused upon charting its course through the study of the frequency of Roman artefacts in a provincial context. However, this rarely attempts to explain why it was that individuals chose to adopt them, and how it was achieved. ‘Romanization’was one of many cultural horizons in the development in Iberia. Cultural change during the Roman period thus needs to be understood within the context of the long-term. This is rarely done, since this particular period of transition bridges two distinct academic traditions. Iron Age archaeologists seek to explain the material record of the past in terms of social and archaeological theory. Alternatively, Roman archaeol- ogists often merely document it in the context of the established historical and art historical traditions. This paper attempts to bridge the divide, by interpreting evidence for cultural change within three interrelated theoreti- cal frameworks’ Ideology (Shanks and Tilley 1987,180-5) has been chosen as the theoretical framework within which to study the way in which cultural form was developed in the Roman world.
