To find evidence for this ideal and how it was regarded at the time, in this study a survey is made of woolworking references in the contemporary Augustan poets Vergil, Tibullus, Propertius and Ovid. Other extant versions of the Lucretia legend do not mention woolworking; Livy appears to have added Lucretia’s devotion to wool, a tradition in keeping with Augustan propaganda.

  • Ancient Roman Civilization
    ANCIENT ROMAN CIVILIZATION HANDOUT PACKAGE FALL 2009 HISTORY 4322/6322 Dr. Peter J. Brand 1 MOST ANCIENT ROME: ORIGINS AND BEGINNINGS Legend of Trojan origins: dates back at least to 5th century BCE, when Greek historian Hellanicus refers to it. Trojan hero Aeneas, in flight from Troy, lands on Italian coast and intermarries with Latin ruling family. His descendants are Romulus and Remus. Aeneas himself was worshipped in Rome under the label Iuppiter Indiges (“native Jupiter”). She-Wolf Legend: current in Italy by late 5th or earlier 4th century, though not clearly with reference to Rome. A statue of babies Romulus and Remus with she-wolf is known to have been set up in Rome as early as 296 BCE. “Latial”/ “Villanovan” settlement on Palatine Hill, which Romans regarded as site of Romulus’ original settlement Sabine component of Roman population: (1) early inhabitants of Quirinal Hill (2) Term for people “Quirites,” originally referring to Sabines, later used for Romans as group. (3) Legend of Sabine women probably is ex-post-facto explanation of Sabine component in Roman makeup. Foundation of Rome: traditionally agreed as being April 21, 753; Roman time-reckoning was generally in terms of so many years “since the founding of the city” (ab urbe condita, abbreviated AUC) Etruscan kings of Rome: Tarquinius Priscus (# 5) and Tarquin the Proud (# 7). The traditional date of his expulsion is 509 BCE. The Republic was believed to have begun immediately afterwards, but this is complicated by Lars Porsenna (of Clusium): attacked, and probably took Rome after Tarquin the Proud was expelled, but did not reinstall him.

  • The Latin Translations Benjamin Kedar
    Chapter Nine The Latin Translations Benjamin Kedar Old Latin Versions HISTORICAL AND TECHNICAL DATA The spread of Latin as the official, commercial, and military language of the ancient world was concurrent with the growth of the Roman state and the advance of its armies. Hellenistic Greek maintained, however, for a relatively long time its position as the language of literature, philosophy and religion. The educated Romans as well as significant sections of the population in the prov­ inces were bilingual, the Greek and Latin languages strongly influencing each other in their further development until finally Latin became predominant. 1 This provides the linguistic setting for the operations of the early Christian Church. In the beginning Greek was the cultural language of Christendom, it was then forced to make room for Latin which finally gained absolute dom­ inance. The one consequence of this process that concerns us here is the growing demand for Latin Bible translations, which probably was first felt in the provinces such as North Africa or Southern Gaul but subsequently even in the city of Rome. 2 The first tangible evidence for the existence of a Latin version dates back to the middle of the second century c.E. when Christian writers began to write their treatises in Latin, citing biblical verses and passages in this language. Tertullian (c. 130-230 c. E.) though he himself wrote in both Greek and Latin, testifies to the exclusive use of the Latin language in the African church of his time. In his Latin works we find long scriptural quotations which, however, exhibit such lack of textual consistence that they hardly point to one author­ itative version.

  • Optatus and the African Old Latin
    1 Optatus and the African Old Latin Paola Marone Dipartimento di Studi Storico-Religiosi Università di Roma “La Sapienza” Abstract The alteration of the “African Old Latin” has been a matter of common remark since the days of Augustine, but we have hardly any historical traditions of the localities in which such changes took place or the people by whom they were made. The “African Old Latin” is represented only in the Gospels by the fragmentary codex Bobbiensis (k) and codex Palatinus (e). For large parts of the Bible knowledge of the text derives entirely from the quotations that are preserved in the writings of the Fathers. It is mainly by carefully studying these quotations that any fixed criteria can be found for assigning the continuous texts of the MSS to Africa. This article looks at and analyzes the “African Old Latin” according to Optatus. By examining certain aspects of the quotations within the Adversus donatistas (i.e., quotations that appear in two variant forms), the author attempts to establish the context in which a revision took place. Introduction 1. We are here concerned with the subject of the Old Latin: the Latin Bible before the time of Jerome. It is from North Africa that the earliest Latin Bible of the Church has come down to us. While it may well be that the preaching of the Gospel in North Africa was first addressed to Greeks, at an early date Latin would have become the official language of the Church of Africa. Indeed in Africa in 180 C.E. the Scillitan Christians possessed at least the Epistles of Paul in the Latin version1, and by the time of Cyprian (†258) a Latin version of the whole Bible certainly existed.

Limits of the archaic period. Archaic spelling. Contents In three volumes entitled Remains of Old Latin, of which this is the first volume, my object is to present a Latin text and an English translation of Latin remnants, literary and epigraphic, which belong to the archaic period of Roman literary historj-. I have fixed the limit of this archaic period at 81 —80 B.C., which are the years of Sulla's dictatorship. It is indeed true that the limit cannot really be defined with precision, partly because archaisms in spelling and in form survive, especially in epi- graphic records, during many years after the date here given.

Theodore Peña, Chair This dissertation examines the evidence for burial in archaic Rome and Latium with a view to understanding the nature of urban development in the region. In particular, I focus on identifying those social and political institutions that governed relations between city‐ states at a time when Rome was becoming the most influential urban center in the area. I examine the evidence for burial gathered primarily from the past four decades or so of archaeological excavation in order to present first, a systematic account of the data and second, an analysis of these materials. I reveal that a high degree of variation was observed in funerary ritual across sites, and suggest that this points to a complex system of regional networks that allowed for the widespread travel of people and ideas.

  • Livy, Folklore, and Magic: a Reappraisal of Rome's Foundational Mythology
    LIVY, FOLKLORE, AND MAGIC: A REAPPRAISAL OF ROME'S FOUNDATIONAL MYTHOLOGY Jeremy Leonard Albrecht A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2020 Committee: Casey Stark, Advisor Amilcar Challu James Pfundstein © 2020 Jeremy Albrecht All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Casey Stark, Advisor This paper argues for an additional manner in which the social and cultural history of Rome can be both examined and understand through the implementation of folkloric practices. While folklore and history are two distinct academic traditions, there exists a certain amount of overlap between the fields and this overlap is worth exploring in more detail. In the course of this paper, it is argued that many aspects of Roman social and cultural history can be understood and examined through folkloric means. In chapter one, a working definition of folklore is established and shown to apply to the foundational mythology of Rome as portrayed by Livy in his Ab Urbe Condita. Chapter two continues to examine Livy and provides an argument that, in the process of his writing, Livy himself was more concerned with a folkloric interpretation of Rome’s history than he was in staying firmly within the bounds of historical accuracy. Finally, chapter three branches off from Livy and focuses on the arcane and magical traditions which were prevalent in Rome to show that not only were folkloric traditions present in Rome’s traditional mythology, but can also be seen throughout the Republic and even into the early Empire.

(1992). Proto-Romance syllable structure. Calgary Working Papers in Linguistics, 15(Fall), 35-72. http://hdl.handle.net/1880/51358 journal article Downloaded from PRISM: https://prism.ucalgary.ca Proto-Romance Syllable Structure Naomi Cull University of Calgary 1.0 Introduction According to a traditional view (see Lindsay 1894; Muller 1929; Elcock I 960; Pei 1976), the Romance languages derived from Classical Latin (CL) with an intermediate stage of Vulgar Latin (VL), as represented in 1.1 (I) Old Latin I Classical Latin I Vulgar Latin ~ Romance Languages However, there are several reasons to believe that this was not the correct progression. First, there are certain features Classical Latin does not share with the Romance languages. For example, in Classical Latin c1uus was invariable, yet at an earlier stage, Plautine Latin (c. 184 B.C.), cuius, -a, -um was an inflected adjective. Although the Romance languages also use kuiu, -a •whose' as an adjective, Hall (1950: 19) claims that this is a feature of Old Latin lost in Classical Latin. Second, there arefeatures of Classical Latin which the Romance languages 'show no trace of' (Hall 1983:5), such as the passive voice, the future tense and most non-finite forms.2 Third, the Romance languages also have the adjectival suffix +arju- '(person, thing) connected with ... ' that Classical Latin avoided using (Hall 1983:5).3 Pulgram (1973) states that the reason there are common features in Vulgar Latin (which Pulgram equates to Proto-Romance) and pre-Latin lies not in the fact that these features were quiescent while the more prestigious Classical Latin was in use, but that in fact those features shared by both Proto-Romance and pre-Latin were in continuous use from the old to the proto stage.
