  • Revealing Jesus: the Historical Christ
    Revealing Jesus: The Historical Christ St. Paul American Coptic Orthodox Church What do we know about Jesus? Can we prove the existence of God? NO Authorship of the Gospels Irenaeus, wri@ng about A.D. 180, confirmed the tradi@onal authorship: Mahew published his own Gospel among the Hebrews in their own tongue, when Peter and Paul were preaching the Gospel in Rome and founding the church there. A>er their departure, Mark, the disciple and interpreter of Peter, himself handed down to us in wri@ng the substance of Peter’s preaching. Luke, the follower of Paul, set down in a book the Gospel preached by his teacher. Then John, the disciple of the Lord, who also leaned on his breast, himself produced his Gospel while he was living at Ephesus in Asia. Strobel, Lee (2008-09-09). The Case for Christ: A Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus Dating the Gospels “The standard scholarly dang, even in very liberal circles, is Mark in the 70s, Mahew and Luke in the 80s, John in the 90s.” S@ll within the life@mes of various eyewitnesses of the life of Jesus. Strobel, Lee (2008-09-09). The Case for Christ: A Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus Paul Stating the Creed Perhaps the most important creed in terms of the historical Jesus is in 1 Corinthians 15: For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve.

    The Invisibility of Juvenal James Uden Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 2011 James Uden All rights reserved. ABSTRACT The Invisibility of Juvenal James Uden This dissertation offers a reading of Juvenal’s Satires. It maintains that Juvenal consciously frustrates readers’ attempts to identify his poetic voice with a single unitary character or persona. At the same time, it argues that Juvenal’s poems are influenced in both form and theme by cultural trends in the early second century. The arguments staged in these poems constitute a critique of aspects of Roman intellectual culture in the reigns of Trajan and Hadrian. Contents Preface 1.

  • The Reforms of Trajan and the End of the Pre–Neronian Denarius
    AIIN, 61 (2015), pp. 21–42 THE REFORMS OF TRAJAN AND THE END OF THE PRE–NERONIAN DENARIUS Numismatists habitually attribute the creation of Roman imperial coinage to Augustus, and commonly refer to imperial currency as ‘Augustan’.1 Consequently any changes to the imperial coinage tend to be regarded as adulterations of this original ‘Augustan system’. The changes that took place under Nero, for example, are usually treated as the first signs of thoughtless manipulation of this system, and in addition these changes are understood as evidence of the empire’s financial weakness.2 The same is claimed of Trajan’s changes to the denarius and aureus.3 However, other interpretations of these changes are possible, and this paper attempts to set out evidence to support the argument that the Neronian and Trajanic reforms are linked, and that both were attempts to establish a stable currency. It is quite clear that Nero’s role in establishing a stable currency has been understated or completely misunderstood. Thanks to new compositional and metrological studies it is now possible to appreciate the importance of the Neronian reforms.4 It was the Neronian aureus and denarius standards, and not the Augustan, that persisted through the first and second centuries. As far as the precious metal issues are concerned, the Neronian coinage marked the beginning of a new era. Subsequent emperors continued to maintain these standards (with one 1 HARL 1996: 73–96. 2 CRAWFORD 1978: 151–2; WALKER 1978: 110–14; DUNCAN–JONES 1994: 221 n. 35. 3 BOLIN 1958: 201; WALKER 1978: 151–3.

  • The Empire Strikes: the Growth of Roman Infrastructural Minting Power, 60 B.C
    The Empire Strikes: The Growth of Roman Infrastructural Minting Power, 60 B.C. – A.D. 68 A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Classics of the College of Arts and Sciences by David Schwei M.A., University of Cincinnati, December 2012 B.A., Emory University, May 2009 Committee Chairs: Peter van Minnen, Ph.D Barbara Burrell, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Coins permeated the Roman Empire, and they offer a unique perspective into the ability of the Roman state to implement its decisions in Italy and the provinces. This dissertation examines how this ability changed and grew over time, between 60 B.C. and A.D. 68, as seen through coin production. Earlier scholars assumed that the mint at Rome always produced coinage for the entire empire, or they have focused on a sudden change under Augustus. Recent advances in catalogs, documentation of coin hoards, and metallurgical analyses allow a fuller picture to be painted. This dissertation integrates the previously overlooked coinages of Asia Minor, Syria, and Egypt with the denarius of the Latin West. In order to measure the development of the Roman state’s infrastructural power, this dissertation combines the anthropological ideal types of hegemonic and territorial empires with the numismatic method of detecting coordinated activity at multiple mints. The Roman state exercised its power over various regions to different extents, and it used its power differently over time. During the Republic, the Roman state had low infrastructural minting capacity.

  • 222 BOOK REVIEWS Armin Eich (Ed.), Die Verwaltung Der
    222 BOOK REVIEWS Armin Eich (ed.), Die Verwaltung der kaiserzeitlichen römischen Armee. Studien für Hartmut Wolff . Historia Einzelschriften 211. Sttutgart: Franz Steiner Verlag, 2010. 210 pp. ISBN 978-3- 515-09420-7. The nine papers included in this volume were presented at a conference organized by the editor at the University of Passau (16-17 February 2007), in honour of Prof. Hartmut Wolff on the occasion of his retirement. As explained by the editor, the title of the volume comprises two topics: the army as a self-administered organization; and the army as the most important instrument which the central government had at its disposal for controlling the empire. Needless to say, various aspects of these two topics have been dealt with in studies on the Roman imperial army, old and recent; thus, the present volume is a reminder of the continuing scholarly interest in military administration. The following is a brief summary of the individual papers included in the book. In the opening paper (‘Die Verwaltung der kaiserzeitlichen Armee. Zur Bedeutung militärischer Verwaltungsstrukturen in der Kaiserzeit für die administrative Entwicklung des Imperium Romanum’, 9-36) Armin Eich provides an overview of the activities and structures typical of and essential for the military administration, discussing and classifying them under several categories. For example, the self-administration of the army units is linked to elements characteristic of bureaucratic forms of organization, notably regular paperwork, the presence of a functional hierarchy, and binding criteria of promotion. One major argument is that the forms of the military organization served as a model for other branches of Roman administration, and yet, one may comment, the extent of the militarization of the imperial administration in general remains debateable.
