388 in Ancient Times, on the Territory Found Southwest of Dacia After
In ancient times, on the territory found southwest of Dacia after the conquest A. Caecina Severus was endowed by the governor of Macedonia, as Μυσιας were formed two military ground alignments Lederata–Tibiscum and Dierna– άρχων and in this quality he defeated the barbarians from Pannonia at Sirmium, Tibiscum, along with two other along the Danube between Banatska Palanka– but because Dacians and Sarmaths attacked, he had to leave the battlefield – as Dio Dierna and Drobeta on Mureş river, far less conclusive currently, the one from Casssius (LV, 30) relates. He turned to the territories where the new invasion Bulci–Micia. The fortifications have attracted the attention of specialists further- occurred in order to reject the attack. At that moment, the legatus of Macedonia more as they were backed by earth walls marking the boundaries and thus protected province was identified as Sex. Aelius Catus. At the beginning of the following the province. year, in 7 A.D, Caecina Severus found on the territory of future Moesia province The most majority of the studies have emerged in postwar period through the will follow the attackers in barbaricum and will find himself caught in the Volceene establishment of new museums in Reşiţa and Caransebeş alongside Timişoara and marshes where he settled camp. This place was not specified so far, but it could be Arad, thus increasing the number of archaeologists concerned with research in the related with the marshes found around Tisza River.

The North-Western Region of the Black Sea During the 6Th and Early 7Th Century Ad*
doi: 10.2143/AWE.7.0.2033257 AWE 7 (2008) 151-187 THE NORTH-WESTERN REGION OF THE BLACK SEA 151 THE NORTH-WESTERN REGION OF THE BLACK SEA DURING THE 6TH AND EARLY 7TH CENTURY AD* Florin CURTA Abstract Early Byzantine authors knew very little about the north-western region of the Black Sea. 6th- to 7th-century archaeological assemblages display a remarkable polarity of distribution. This has often been viewed as an indication of distinct ethnic groups (Slavs in the north and nomads in the south), but a closer examination of the archaeological record suggests a different interpretation. Burial assemblages in the steppe represent the funerary monuments of individuals of prominent status from communities living in settlements on the border between the steppe and the forest-steppe belts. ‘From the city of Cherson to the mouth of the Ister river, which is also called the Danube, is a journey of ten days, and barbarians hold that whole region’ (Procopius Wars 8. 5. 29). Procopius of Caesarea’s description of the Black Sea shore between the Crimea and the Danube delta, a part of his ‘account of the distribution of the peoples who live about the Euxine Sea’ (Wars 7. 1. 7), 1 underscores the limits of his knowledge. Because of barbarians holding that entire region, not much was known to him about what was going on north of the Danube delta and the region beyond that, because of barbarians holding that entire region.2 It is not at all clear just who were the barbarians controlling the north-western coast of the Black Sea, but those ‘still’ crossing the Danube during Procopius’ lifetime were the Cutrigurs, whom Procopius otherwise placed ‘on the western side of the Maeotic Lake’ (Wars 8. -
Alessandro Cavagna Gli Alleati Di Bruto in Dacia Ei 'Koson'
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by OpenstarTs Alessandro Cavagna Gli alleati di Bruto in Dacia e i ‘Koson’ d’oro Appiano, nel IV libro delle Guerre Civili, ricorda che nel 42 a.C. Bruto e Cas- sio, prima degli scontri a Filippi, passarono in rassegna l’esercito: vengono così elencati, oltre agli effettivi romani, Celti e Iberi, Lusitani, Traci, Illiri, Partini, Tessali, Arabi, Medi, Parti, i re alleati e i tetrarchi dei Galati d’Asia1. Sono nume- rosi gli storici che, accanto alle forze ricordate da Appiano, hanno ritenuto che comparissero anche i Daci/Geti, sebbene essi non fossero esplicitamente men- zionati: la prova di un loro coinvolgimento proverrebbe dai cosiddetti ‘Koson’ (fig. 1), ossia monete d’oro che Bruto – secondo una consolidata tradizione di studi – avrebbe prodotto appositamente per pagare questi contingenti2. 1. La prima anomalia: l’impossibile lettura di KOΣΩN La prima menzione di queste monete viene comunemente rimandata a una lettera (datata al 31 agosto del 1520) che Erasmo da Rotterdam, allora a Lou- 1 App. civ.

Qui passarono in rassegna l’esercito: complessi- vamente avevano diciannove legioni di opliti, delle quali otto erano di Bruto e nove di Cassio, nessuna completa; poi all’incirca gli effettivi di due legioni, così che in totale risultavano circa ottantamila soldati. -

Nominalia of the Bulgarian Rulers an Essay by Ilia Curto Pelle
Nominalia of the Bulgarian rulers An essay by Ilia Curto Pelle Bulgaria is a country with a rich history, spanning over a millennium and a half. However, most Bulgarians are unaware of their origins. To be honest, the quantity of information involved can be overwhelming, but once someone becomes invested in it, he or she can witness a tale of the rise and fall, steppe khans and Christian emperors, saints and murderers of the three Bulgarian Empires. As delving deep in the history of Bulgaria would take volumes upon volumes of work, in this essay I have tried simply to create a list of all Bulgarian rulers we know about by using different sources. So, let’s get to it. Despite there being many theories for the origin of the Bulgars, the only one that can show a historical document supporting it is the Hunnic one. This document is the Nominalia of the Bulgarian khans, dating back to the 8th or 9th century, which mentions Avitohol/Attila the Hun as the first Bulgarian khan. However, it is not clear when the Bulgars first joined the Hunnic Empire. It is for this reason that all the Hunnic rulers we know about will also be included in this list as khans of the Bulgars. The rulers of the Bulgars and Bulgaria carry the titles of khan, knyaz, emir, elteber, president, and tsar. This list recognizes as rulers those people, who were either crowned as any of the above, were declared as such by the people, despite not having an official coronation, or had any possession of historical Bulgarian lands (in modern day Bulgaria, southern Romania, Serbia, Albania, Macedonia, and northern Greece), while being of royal descent or a part of the royal family. -

Coson Sau Cotiso?
COSON SAU COTISO? In biografia împăratului Augustus, Suetonius relatează o destul de bizară acuzaţie pe care M. Antonius i-o adusese cîndva colegului său de trium virat. ,,M. Antonius scribit, spune istoricul, primum eum Antonio filio despondisse Iuliam, dein Cotisoni Getarum regi, quo tempore sibi quoqu,e in vicem filiam regis in matrimonium petisset'•l (,,M. Antonius scrie că Octavianus a făgăduit-o pe Iulia mai întîi fiului său, Antonius, apoi lui Cotiso, regele geţilor, şi că tot atunci a cerut, în schimb, în căsătorie, chiar pentru el, pe fiica regelui"). Lăsînd la o parte lipsa de verosimilitate a aserţiunii, în care trebuie să vedem o încercare a rivalului viitorului împărat de a-l discredita pe acesta în ochii romanilor, vom observa că o serie de manuscrise, ce vor fi trecute în revistă mai jos, poartă, în locul cuvintelor Cotisoni Getarum regi, cuvintele Cosoni (sau Cosini) Getarum regi. în general, editorii textu lui au preferat lectura Cotisoni2, dar nu e mai puţin adevărat că nepotri virea manuscriselor ridică o problemă: Suetonius a vorbit despre regele get Cotiso sau despre regele get Coson? Cotiso mai apare în izvoarele latine. Poetul Horaţiu, contemporan cu acest dinast geto-dac, îi spune lui Mecena3 : ,,Mitte civiles super Urbe curas. Occidit Daci Cotisonis agmen". (.,Lasă grijile obşteşti pentru Cetate. Armata dacului Cotiso a pierit"), iar un comentar horaţian se exprimă astfel: ,,Occidit Daci Cotisonis agmen. Cotiso nomen regis Dacorum .. ." 4 (,,Armata dacului Cotiso a pierit. Cotiso este numele unui rege al dacilor ..."). în sfîrşit, Florus5 îl aminteşte pe 1 Suetonius, Aug., LXIII, 4. 2 De exemplu, ediţia lui C. -

On the Origins of the Romanian People
『地域政策研究』(高崎経済大学地域政策学会) 第7巻 第2号 2004年 10 月 17 頁~ 38 頁 On the Origins of the Romanian People Elena Taralunga TAMURA Abstract I have been often asked where I come from and I have realized that not much is known about Romania, its location, language and history. This paper is an examination of the roots of Romanian history. It is supported by official historical evidence and some of the data is approved by the Romanian Academy of History and Archeology, whereas other information is taken from different sources such as: history of religions, different reports from the Institute of Dacology, encyclopedias, and folklore resources. Statements on history can be eventually confirmed as well as denied when some new discovery happens. Also, in the case of writing a research paper on the ancient history of a country the lack of sufficient and explicit written evidence left to this day, can obstruct the discovering of facts that are correct, free from ambiguity and vacillation.This paper covers the early historical beginnings of the people that inhabited the territory of modern Romania to the time when the Roman Empire changed the country north of Danube into a Roman colony. This paper comprises: A geographical description of Romania History: the beginnings, An explanation of the meaning of the Pelasgians Definition of who the Thracians were. The Dacians and the Getae and who they were. The Dacian kings and among them the most important, Buerebista and Decebal The change of Dacia into a Roman colony Conclusion - 17 - Elena Taralunga TAMURA Introduction The historic magnitude of different peoples on the earth does not always radiate with the same intensity. -
Patterns of Continuity in Geto-Dacian Foreign Policy
69 HIRUNDO 2008 Pattern of Continuity in Geto-Dacian Foreign Policy Under Burebista Paul Vădan Following the death of Alexander the Great, the ancient world was affected by prolonged po - litical turmoil as many states emerging after 323 BC, both within and without Alexander’s former Em - pire, sought to impose their regional hegemony at each other’s expense in an attempt to restore stability. In the context of such discourse in power politics, the Geto-Dacian state emerged and sought to assert itself in the Carpathian-Danubian-Pontic region under the rule of Burebista in the 1 st century BC. De - spite modern claims that Burebista’s achievements were without precedent in the history of Geto-Dacia, 1 this paper will attempt to place the rule of Burebista in the context of a long tradition of Geto-Dacian foreign policy of assertion and interaction with the Hellenistic οιкоυµένη (oikoumene the perceived Greek world as opposed to barbarian lands). In order to do this, we will need to analyze Burebista’s political and economic goals in order to determine whether his rule conformed to an established pattern. Unfortunately, such a project is ir - reparably flawed because no Geto-Dacian written accounts (if there were any) have survived; all that has been passed on to us in terms of literary “evidence” are approximately four hundred Geto-Dacian words that are still in use in the Romanian language. As a result, scholars are forced to appeal exclu - sively (and with caution) to Greek and Roman written sources if they are to construct a generally co - herent history of the Geto-Dacians. -
