DOI : https://doi.org/ 10.4000/books.pccj.102. Chapitre V Peuples et territoires : les Arécomiques et les Tectosages a question d’une définition des peuples et de leurs territoires avant la conquête romaine est au cœur de toute une série de travaux récents (Bats 1999 ; Bats et al. 2003 ; Garcia, Verdin 2002 ; LBats et al. 2003). Si les analyses prennent toujours appui sur les données archéologiques, la confrontation avec les sources textuelles est sous-jacente et surgit toujours au cours de la discussion. Un des cas les plus emblématiques, peut-être, est celui des territoires respectifs des Volques Arécomiques et des Volques Tectosages dans le sud-ouest de la Gaule (fig. 18) et pour lesquels le témoignage de Strabon est essentiel. Les Arécomiques et les Tectosages sont traités par Strabon l’un à la suite de l’autre, dans la description de l’arrière-pays à l’ouest du Rhône qui clôt la partie sur la Narbonnaise (IV, 1, 12-14). -
Keltoi and Hellenes: a Study of the Celts in the Hellenistic World
KELTOI AND THE HELLENES A STUDY OF THE CELTS IN THE HELLENISTIC WoRU) PATRICK EGAN In the third century B.C. a large body ofCeltic tribes thrust themselves violently into the turbulent world of the Diadochoi,’ immediately instilling fear, engendering anger and finally, commanding respect from the peoples with whom they came into contact. Their warlike nature, extreme hubris and vigorous energy resembled Greece’s own Homeric past, but represented a culture, language and way of life totally alien to that of the Greeks and Macedonians in this period. In the years that followed, the Celts would go on to ravage Macedonia, sack Delphi, settle their own “kingdom” and ifil the ranks of the Successors’ armies. They would leave indelible marks on the Hellenistic World, first as plundering barbaroi and finally, as adapted, integral elements and members ofthe greatermulti-ethnic society that was taking shape around them. This paper will explore the roles played by the Celts by examining their infamous incursions into Macedonia and Greece, their phase of settlement and occupation ofwhat was to be called Galatia, their role as mercenaries, and finally their transition and adaptation, most noticeably on the individual level, to the demands of the world around them. This paper will also seek to challenge some of the traditionally hostile views held by Greek historians regarding the role, achievements, and the place the Celts occupied as members, not simply predators, of the Hellenistic World.2 19 THE DAWN OF THE CELTS IN THE HELLENISTIC WORLD The Celts were not unknown to all Greeks in the years preceding the Deiphic incursion of February, 279. -

Lucan's Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulf
Lucan’s Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: Catherine Connors, Chair Alain Gowing Stephen Hinds Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Classics © Copyright 2014 Laura Zientek University of Washington Abstract Lucan’s Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Catherine Connors Department of Classics This dissertation is an analysis of the role of landscape and the natural world in Lucan’s Bellum Civile. I investigate digressions and excurses on mountains, rivers, and certain myths associated aetiologically with the land, and demonstrate how Stoic physics and cosmology – in particular the concepts of cosmic (dis)order, collapse, and conflagration – play a role in the way Lucan writes about the landscape in the context of a civil war poem. Building on previous analyses of the Bellum Civile that provide background on its literary context (Ahl, 1976), on Lucan’s poetic technique (Masters, 1992), and on landscape in Roman literature (Spencer, 2010), I approach Lucan’s depiction of the natural world by focusing on the mutual effect of humanity and landscape on each other. Thus, hardships posed by the land against characters like Caesar and Cato, gloomy and threatening atmospheres, and dangerous or unusual weather phenomena all have places in my study. I also explore how Lucan’s landscapes engage with the tropes of the locus amoenus or horridus (Schiesaro, 2006) and elements of the sublime (Day, 2013). -

Caesar and Tacitus Reading Introduction to the Caesar Reading Julius Caesar Wrote Accounts of His Campaigns in Gaul to Justify His Power and Actions
Caesar and Tacitus Reading Introduction to the Caesar Reading Julius Caesar wrote accounts of his campaigns in Gaul to justify his power and actions. Here he gives his most extensive accounts of the peoples of Gaul and Germany. What customs, values and practices among the Gauls and the Germans seem significantly different from customs, values and practices at Rome? Are there ways in which he may use these differences as a justification for the military campaigns he is carrying out? Caesar, Gallic Wars Book 6 (chapters 11-20) (Trans. by H. J. Edwards, 1917) 6.11 Since I have arrived at this point, it would seem to be not inappropriate to set forth the customs of Gaul and of Germany, and the difference between these nations. In Gaul, not only in every state and every canton and district, but almost in each several household, there are parties [= political factions]; and the leaders of the parties are men who in the judgment of their fellows are deemed to have the highest authority, men to whose decision and judgment the supreme issue of all cases and counsels may be referred. And this seems to have been an ordinance from ancient days, to the end that no man of the people should lack assistance against a more powerful neighbour; for each man refuses to allow his own folk to be oppressed and defrauded, since otherwise he has no authority among them. The same principle holds in regard to Gaul as a whole taken together; for the whole body of states is divided into two parties. -
Provinzialrömischen, Im Letzten Grunde Klassischen Vorbilder. Die
165 provinzialrömischen, im letzten Grunde klassischen Vorbilder. Die Masse der wenig oder gar nicht romanisierten Unterschicht wird für uns eben noch weniger als in Gallien in den Steindenkmälern greifbar. Importierte Skulptur, wie sie gerade so gut in Italien ge funden sein könnte und auf dem linken Rheinufer gelegentlich sich findet, fehlt, mit Ausnahme natürlich von Bronzen, auf dem rechten Rheinufer ganz. Das Marmorrelief Nr. 438 (Bruchstück eines Sarkophags ?) in Mannheim ist aus dem Rhein gezogen, also seine Herkunft vom rechten Ufer zweifelhaft. Daß sich außer im unmittelbaren Vorlande des linken Rheinufers fast keine mit Relief geschmückten Militärgrabsteine finden, liegt in erster Linie an der Zeit der Ok kupation des rechten Ufers, in der die Militärreliefs überhaupt bald aufhören, was z. T. doch wohl sicher auch mit der fortschreitenden Barbarisierung der Truppenkörper zu sammenhängt. Aber auch Zivilgrabsteine mit Relief sind selten, große Grabmäler, wie auf dem linken Ufer, finden sich kaum, und im Zusammenhang damit steht denn auch, daß die charakteristischen Szenen aus dem Alltagsleben, wie sie das linke Rheinufer kennt, fast ganz fehlen. Deshalb stimme ich E. gern zu, wenn er für den Stein unbekann ten Fundortes Nr. 427 im Museum in Mannheim linksrheinische Herkunft vermutet. Jeder, der in der Richtung obiger Andeutungen sich jetzt an die Durcharbeit der rechtsrheinischen Steindenkmäler macht, wird dankbar sich der Vorarbeit E.s bedienen, die er in seinem großen, jetzt vollendeten Werk geleistet hat, das den Skulpturen bestand eines wichtigen Teiles des römischen Weltreiches zum erstenmal überschauen läßt. Den Dank der Wissenschaft wird E. selbst um so stärker und freudiger empfinden, je energischer, eindringlicher und vielseitiger jetzt die Arbeit an der provinzialen Plastik einsetzt, für die sich erfreulicherweise neuerdings auch die kunstgeschichtliche Forschung zu interessieren beginnt. -
Was Galatian Really Celtic? Anthony Durham & Michael Goormachtigh First Published November 2011, Updated to October 2016
Was Galatian Really Celtic? Anthony Durham & Michael Goormachtigh first published November 2011, updated to October 2016 Summary Saint Jerome’s AD 386 remark that the language of ancient Galatia (around modern Ankara) resembled the language of the Treveri (around modern Trier) has been misinterpreted. The “Celts”, “Gauls” or “Galatians” mentioned by classical authors, including those who invaded Greece and Anatolia around 277 BC, were not Celtic in the modern sense of speaking a Celtic language related to Welsh and Irish, but tall, pale-skinned, hairy, warrior peoples from the north. The 150 or so words and proper names currently known from Galatian speech show little affinity with Celtic but more with Germanic. Introduction In AD 386 Saint Jerome wrote: Apart from the Greek language, which is spoken throughout the entire East, the Galatians have their own language, almost the same as the Treveri. For many people this short remark is the linchpin of a belief that ancient Celtic speech spread far outside its Atlantic-fringe homeland, reaching even into the heart of Anatolia, modern Turkey. However, we wish to challenge the idea that Galatians spoke a language that was Celtic in the modern sense of being closely related to Welsh or Irish. Galatia was the region around ancient Ancyra, modern Ankara, in the middle of Turkey. Anatolia (otherwise known as Asia Minor) has seen many civilisations come and go over the millennia. Around 8000 BC it was a cradle of agriculture and the Neolithic revolution. The whole family of Indo-European languages originated somewhere in that region. We favour the idea that they grew up around the Black Sea all the way from northern Anatolia, past the mouth of the river Danube, to southern Russia and Ukraine. -

We came in the courfe of our voyage to Trapezus, a Greek city in a maritime fituation, a colony from Sinope, as we are in- formed by Xenophon, the celebrated Hiftorian. We furveyed the Euxine fea with the greater pleafure, as we viewed it from the lame fpot, whence both Xenophon and Yourfelf had formerly ob- ferved it. Two altars of rough Hone are ftill landing there ; but, from the coarfenefs of the materials, the letters infcribed upon them are indiftincliy engraven, and the Infcription itfelf is incor- rectly written, as is common among barbarous people. I deter- mined therefore to erect altars of marble, and to engrave the In- fcription in well marked and diftinct characters. Your Statue, which Hands there, has merit in the idea of the figure, and of the defign, as it reprefents You pointing towards the fea; but it bears no refemblance to the Original, and the execution is in other re- fpects but indifferent. Send therefore a Statue worthy to be called Yours, and of a fimilar delign to the one which is there at prefent, b as 2 ARYAN'S PERIPLUS as the fituation is well calculated for perpetuating, by thefe means, the memory of any illuftrious perfon. -
