25Th-26Th Symposium on “The Creation and Transformation Of The creation and transformation of Roman centrality, urban forms and landscape dynamics (Geo)archaeological evidence and historical data for the urban centres and their hinterland ROCT-IAP Symposium 25-26 November 2011 Leuven & Tongeren The symposium is an initiative to conclude the research programmes of the Roman Crafts and Trade network, funded by the Fund for Scientific Research-Flanders, and the Interuniversity Poles of Attraction P6/22 programme (IAP), funded by the Federal Science Policy Office-Belgium. The first day of the event is organized at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. The second day of the symposium takes place at the Gallo-Romeins Museum Tongeren, hosting the overview exhibition 'Sagalassos. City of Dreams'. 238 original pieces are on display showing all aspects of life in town and region from 10,000 BC until c. 1,250 AD, including top finds such as the colossal statues of Hadrian and Marcus Aurelius. The symposium will be concluded with a visit to the exhibition and closed with a conference dinner. Each IAP-partner (indicated in bold) invited a couple of colleagues, in order to provide more depth to our research in the four IAP study regions. Presentations are scheduled for 45 minutes, followed by 20 minutes animated discussion. Coffee, tea and refreshments will be available in the auditorium during the proceedings. It is our intention to publish the papers afterwards as an edited volume. Preliminary Programme Friday 25 November, Leuven 09:00 - 09:15 welcome by M. Waelkens The northern provinces 09:15 - 10:00 R.

  • Caesar 54 Bc
    CAESAR 54 BC INTRODUCTION Caesar 54BC, the fourth Campaign of Caesar in Gaul covers in fact the major invasion of the southern part of Britania (present-day England) by Julius Caesar. The Roman objective is to capture as many hostages as possible from the hostile local tribes. The Briton player must use all means at his disposal to prevent the suc- cess of the raid, to discourage further Roman invasions. Caesar 54BC lasts 14 turns, each of 2 weeks, between April and November 54 BC. The Romans, led by Caes- ar, are launching a campaign over the southern part of the island of Britania. • The Roman player must capture as fast as possible the stringholds of the opposing Briton tribes and take hostages from them, with the help of his famous general, his legions and his fleet. • His Briton opponent must prevent this, using his war chariots, coastal tribes and opportunities created by storms and bad weather hampering Roman supply. The game event cards allow full replay ability thanks to the numerous various situations that their create on the diplomatic, military, political or economical fields Average duration: 1h30 Favored side: none GAME DURATION Hardest side to play: none Caesar 54BC lasts 14 turns, each of 2 weeks, between April and November 54 BC.

  • Ireland Ireland Is Not the Prime Concern of This Website, and Its Main Author Cannot Claim to Know Its Landscape and History Really Well
    Ireland Ireland is not the prime concern of this website, and its main author cannot claim to know its landscape and history really well. Nevertheless Ireland does offer useful insights into the earliest geographical names of western Europe, because it was never conquered by the Roman army. Importantly, there is just one main source for its earliest names: Ptolemy’s Geography names 53 of them. So all of Ireland can be tackled in this one article. The locations of Ptolemy’s Irish names have long been discussed, with recent attempts to improve the logic by Darcy and Flynn (2008), Kleineberg, Marx, and Lelgemann (2012), Warner (2013), and Counihan (2019). The present article was begun partly to help the work of Dmitri Gusev and colleagues, which is still only partly published at a conference. It takes the best Greek spellings from Stückelberger and Graßhoff (2006). Each name is transcribed once into the Latin alphabet and its position in Ptolemy’s text is reported as 2,2,2 or similar. In the words of one website: “The tribal and place-names in Ireland listed by Ptolemy were Celtic, and many survive in Old or Middle Irish forms.” This is a reasonable view, but the hard work of historical linguists (notably de Bernardo Stempel, 2000,2005) to find parallels in Celtic languages for elements in early Irish names has had disappointingly little success. This led Mallory (2013) to stress how much Ptolemy’s text might have been corrupted over the centuries. However, as name- to-place assignments have improved, with better geographical understanding and access to reliable texts, the linkage between Ireland’s earliest names and written Celtic languages has got weaker.

  • The Celts in the West. Germany and Gaul
    THE GREATNESS AND DECLINE OF THE CELTS CHAPTER IV THE CELTS IN THE WEST. GERMANY AND GAUL I CELTS AND GERMANS IN the middle valley of the Danube the development of the Celtic settlements had been checked by the Getae and Dacians. The Boii advanced to the Theiss, but their sway extended no further. Beyond that there were doubtless Gauls in Transylvania, just as there were Saxons later. Celtic culture spread in this region, and the Dacians became Celticized. On the Black Sea, an inscription from Olbia [C.I.G., 2058. Cf. LXX, 3, pp. 441 ff.; CXLIX, 34, pp. 50 - 61; Pliny, iv, 97; Müllenhoff, CCCLXII, ii, pp. 110 ff.] records the appearance of the Sciri, who were probably Germans, in the company of the Galatians. But they were soon absorbed. In the same parts, at the same date, we find a much more important people, though of uncertain origin, the Bastarnae. [A. Bauer, in CXLIX, clxxxv, 2, 1918.] They are mentioned for the first time at the beginning of the second century, as newcomers on the Lower Danube. All these barbarians were employed as auxiliaries down to the time of the collision. In 182 Philip of Macedon sent them against the Dardanians. [Livy, 40, 57.] In 179 there was a great drive of the Bastarnae, with which the Macedonians had great difficulty in dealing. Some ancient writers, particularly Polybios, [Polyb., 26, 9; 29 ff.] who lived at the time of these events, regard the Bastarnae as Galatians. [Müllenhoff, op. cit., ii, p. 104.] Ptolemy, [Ptol., i, 3, 5, 19.] on the other hand, makes them Germans, and in this he is justified by the names found among them.

The Multiple Faces of the Countryside: Monetization in the North West of Gaul during the High Empire (1st-3rd c. AD) Johan van Heesch This paper is about the monetization, or the evolution of coin use in the countryside during the High Empire in the North-Western part of Roman Gaul, i.e. the civitates of the Menapians and the Nervians (fig. 1). It will also touch on the question of coin use at the end of the Iron Age.

As the Romans advanced towards the coast the Menapii and the Morini withdrew into their swamps, and the Romans were unable to catch them. Whatever their true motive, the Veneti revolt began when they seized Q. Oxford World's Classics. A poor harvest meant that Caesar's winter quarters were spread out over a larger area than normal, making them vulnerable to surprise attacks. The Romans followed the retreating Belgae, inflicting heavy casualties on them. During his lifetime, Caesar was regarded as one of the best orators and prose authors in Latin — even Cicero spoke highly of Caesar's rhetoric and style. Coins displaying images of the Gallic Wars were used to advertise and emphasise Caesar's military achievements during his war with Pompey. Caesar was clearly not satisfied with the results of this first expedition. There were two possible routes that the migrating Helvetii could take to cross Gaul. In return Caesar's command was to be extended for another five years. This time Caesar was in a vengeful mood, apparently angered by the Veneti's failure to respect the rights of ambassadors. After a month long siege the town fell to the Romans, and everybody in the place was killed. That morning a delegation of German leaders came to the Roman camp, apparently to apologise for the clash of the previous day.

    Guus Besuijen • Guus Besuijen A STUDY OF THE ROMAN SETTLEMENT AT AARDENBURG AND ITS METAL FINDS Beneath the surface of Aardenburg, a small town in the south-western part of the Netherlands, lie the remains of a Roman settlement that is presumed to have been named Rodanum. Extensive archaeological •RODANVM• excavations from the late 1950’s to the late 1980’s revealed that the Roman settlement was similar in size or even larger than the modern community at this location. Its centre was formed by a large castellum­- type fortification wall that enclosed several large stone buildings. The settlement was connected to the sea by a natural watercourse that de- fined its economic and logistical importance in the region. Rodanum’s military function was to secure the regional coast against attacks by Germanic tribes via the North Sea, which occurred around AD 175. It continued to be inhabited until the late third century or the begin- ning of the fourth century, after which the settlement was deserted until the early Middle Ages. The first part of this study provides an overview of Aardenburg du­ ring the Roman period, in which its economic and military functions within the region are explored. In particular, the military and civilian character of the town is discussed. The second part contains a study of the metal objects and aims to present significant additional infor- mation. This part concludes with a critical review of the current state of research at this site.

  • Reconstructing the Chronology of Caesar's Gallic Wars
    Histos 11 (2017) 1–74 RECONSTRUCTING THE CHRONOLOGY OF CAESAR’S GALLIC WARS1 Abstract: Caesar dates only the beginning of his first campaign and rarely mentions routes, distances, and times consumed. No detailed timelines for Caesar’s Gallic Wars exist. This gap can be filled by exploiting available clues in Caesar’s text (e.g., astronomical and sea- sonal events) and Cicero’s letters, and by determining the routes Caesar is likely to have chosen, average traveling and marching speeds (based on data in Caesar’s works and those of other authors), and the days required to cover the distances involved. Modern, digital maps based upon a GIS interface make it possible to measure distances with unprecedented precision. The resulting chronology, though often still speculative, is much more reliable than anything suggested previously. Keywords: Caesar, Gallic wars, chronology, speed of army movements, application of digital maps Introduction: General Assumptions, Principles, and Data2 In the middle of the nineteenth century, German scholars wrote monumental commentaries on Caesar’s Gallic War and Civil War. Those works, published 1 The reconstruction presented here is the result of work we originally did for the The Landmark Julius Caesar (Raaflaub (2017)). Planned as an appendix, it proved too large to be in included in that volume. A much condensed version will be placed on the website of the publisher (Pantheon). We thank Robert Strassler, the editor of the Landmark series, and Edward Kastenmeier at Pantheon for the permission to publish the full version in Histos, and the journal’s editor, Christopher Krebs, for accepting our submission on short notice.
