  • Romans and Batavians: Regional Developments at the Imperial Frontier
    ROMANS AND BATAVIANS: REGIONAL DEVELOPMENTS AT THE IMPERIAL FRONTIER WillemJ.H. Willems The Batavians are certainly among the most well-known tribes in the Roman empire, both in antiquity and today. Their relation with the Romans has been the subject of much scholarly discussion in the past and the present, but most of this discussion was based primarily on literary data. With the exception of the work of Modderman (1949, 1951), however, no effort has been made to substanriate the archaeological data-base of the Batavian tribal area in the eastern part of the Dutch Rhine delta. Fortunately, in 1978 a detailed study of all archaeological evidence of the central part of this area could be starled. On the basis of the preliminary results of this project, it is now pos- sible to examine some of the archaeological correlates of the acculturation processes which operated here from the Late Iron Age to the Early Middle Ages (c. 250 B.C. - A.D. 750). But first it is necessary to examine some of the theoretical concepts invol- ved. Since the 1954 SSRC Seminar, acculturation is often defined as culture change that is initiated by the conjunction of two or more autonomous cultural systems. In our case it is evident that the differences between the cultural systems involved are very large in- deed (below p. 112 and Roymans this vol.). On the one hand is a system which may be described as a state, while on the other hand we are dealing with a society at a much lower level of social complexity.

  • Resettlement Into Roman Territory Across the Rhine and the Danube Under the Early Empire (To the Marcomannic Wars)*
    Eos C 2013 / fasciculus extra ordinem editus electronicus ISSN 0012-7825 RESETTLEMENT INTO ROMAN TERRITORY ACROSS THE RHINE AND THE DANUBE UNDER THE EARLY EMPIRE (TO THE MARCOMANNIC WARS)* By LESZEK MROZEWICZ The purpose of this paper is to investigate the resettling of tribes from across the Rhine and the Danube onto their Roman side as part of the Roman limes policy, an important factor making the frontier easier to defend and one way of treating the population settled in the vicinity of the Empire’s borders. The temporal framework set in the title follows from both the state of preser- vation of sources attesting resettling operations as regards the first two hundred years of the Empire, the turn of the eras and the time of the Marcomannic Wars, and from the stark difference in the nature of those resettlements between the times of the Julio-Claudian emperors on the one hand, and of Marcus Aurelius on the other. Such, too, is the thesis of the article: that the resettlements of the period of the Marcomannic Wars were a sign heralding the resettlements that would come in late antiquity1, forced by peoples pressing against the river line, and eventu- ally taking place completely out of Rome’s control. Under the Julio-Claudian dynasty, on the other hand, the Romans were in total control of the situation and transferring whole tribes into the territory of the Empire was symptomatic of their active border policies. There is one more reason to list, compare and analyse Roman resettlement operations: for the early Empire period, the literature on the subject is very much dominated by studies into individual tribe transfers, and works whose range en- * Originally published in Polish in “Eos” LXXV 1987, fasc.

There are still many who behave, indeed who exhaust Ernst Moritz Arndt themselves in deductions and proofs, as if the Rhine as the border between France and Germany is something indispu- table and settled.

  • Romans and Barbarians in Tacitus' Battle Narratives
    ROMANS AND BARBARIANS IN TACITUS’ BATTLE NARRATIVES by RYAN MICHAEL SEEGER (Under the direction of Dr. Susan Mattern-Parkes) ABSTRACT The purpose of the study is to examine how Tacitus constructs ethnic stereotypes, namely those of the Romans and of the barbarians, in his battle narratives. The first section of the study explores his descriptions of technical aspects of the battle narrative, such as topography, use of weaponry, battle formations, and sieges. The second section examines the value judgments that Tacitus makes about the combatants and their actions, discussing the themes of discipline and virtus, as well as the leaders’ ability to lead by example and stifle dissent. In his descriptions of both the technical and the “moral” aspects of battle, Tacitus shapes his Romans quite differently from his barbarians. Tacitus constructs identities in his battle narratives possibly to satisfy his audience’s expectations or to make the scenes more understandable. Such constructions indicate that ethnocentrism plays an important role in Latin historiography, revealing racial prejudice in Roman society.

Nous avons déjà établi que la statistique tient le milieu entre l’histoire et la science politique ; elle expose l’état d’un peuple dans un moment donné, mais quand cet état est considéré, comme ici, dans une longue suite de momens, pendant une série de plusieurs siècles, elle devient réellement de l’histoire, c’est-à-dire de l’his­ toire appliquée à la vie sociale. Un pareil sujet, comme nous l’a­ vons fait voir, est de la plus vaste étendue et il s’agrandit encore à mesure qu’on y touche. C’est ce que nous avons éprouvé en travail­ lant à cette seconde partie. En effleurant même les objets qu’elle embrasse, nous ferions aisément un gros livre au lieu d’un mé­ moire. Que serait-ce si nous les approfondissions comme ils le méritent? Cette considération nous a forcé à ne donner que des fragmens de nos recherches et à nous borner à parler de la population, des habitations, des meubles et des costumes des Belges.

The two most common motifs featured on these tombstones are the rider relief motifs and the totenmahl motifs. Aspects of both the reliefs and the inscribed epitaphs are distinctly characteristic of the Roman military. Throughout the history of the Roman Empire, men in the auxiliary cavalry units were recruited from non-Roman allied tribes.

This negative perception of Germania – the modern Netherlands and Germany – lay behind the reluctance of Rome’s great military commanders to tame its immense wilderness. Caius Iulius Caesar famously threw a wooden pontoon bridge across the River Rhine (Rhenus) in just ten days, not once but twice, in 55 and 53 bc. The next Roman general to do so was Marcus Agrippa, in 39/38 bc or 19/18 bc. However, none of these missions was for conquest, but in response to pleas for assistance from an ally of the Romans, the Germanic nation of the Ubii. It was not until the reign of Caesar Augustus that a serious attempt was made to annex the land beyond the wide river and transform it into a province fit for Romans to live in.

  • Frisians in Roman Britain in the Light of the Available Epigraphic Sources
    Vol. 4, no. 1/2012 STYLES OF COMMUNICATION Frisians in Roman Britain in the Light of the Available Epigraphic Sources Marcin Buczek, PhD Student University of Wrocław, Poland [email protected] Abstract: The paper discusses the notion of Frisian presence in both the Roman Britain and the Roman army. It investigates the available Latin sources, which provide us with certain amount of information concerning Frisians‟ role, significance and distribution during the period of the Roman ruling. Finally, the author tries, on the basis of the available resources, to draw some conclusions regarding the perception of Frisians by both Romans and Brits. All the analyzed materials are taken from the extensive database of the Roman Inscriptions that are to be found in Britain, which is an invaluable source of knowledge of the military tradition of the Roman Empire and the units serving on the Isles. The paper aims at showing the importance of Frisian participation in both Roman invasion and the Adventus Saxonum. It tries to shed a new light on the perception of not only Frisians but all the Germanic tribes. Keywords: Frisians, Roman Inscriptions in Britain, Roman Britain, Germanic tribes. Place – Britain, a former Roman Province. Time – the second half of the 5th century. Main characters: the “good” ones – innocent inhabitants of Britain, the “bad” ones – barbarian assailants – Saxons, Jutes, Angles. This is a simplified image presented in the majority of the history textbooks that draws on traditional depiction of the Western Roman Empire. That is how the perception of both Britain, as a secondary and relatively insignificant part of the Empire, and Barbarians as savage pillagers or even murderers, is being ingrained in the minds of generations of people.
