  • ARCHITECTURE in MAURETANIAN TINGITANA (N.) Architectural
    THE CLASSICAL REVIEW 495 discussion is provided by this very informative, albeit technical, contribution. The appen- dix, consisting of amphorae stamps from the Laecanii workshop, completes the corpus of these stamps, addressed by Bezeczky on several occasions in his research about their wide distribution and Istrian production. Taking into consideration the difficulties arising from the excavation and finds handling ‘strategies’, Bezeczky’s volume manages to further our knowledge of this key Adriatic site, providing, since most of the analysed materials are imports in the region, ample data for comparative and distribution studies relevant for the wider Mediterranean. Readers are informed, by both the papers and the catalogue, about the occurrences of amphorae that have seldom been identified on the eastern Adriatic, such as Gaulish, Sicilian as well as early eastern Mediterranean and Black Sea types. The material is expertly analysed, offer- ing a firm ground for further research about this assemblage or amphorae distribution in general. Moreover, as the publication of pottery and ceramics assemblages from the eastern Adriatic has not always followed the numerous field research projects, an addition to the very few published corpora is welcome. Despite some editorial and contextual glitches (e. g. if there is a section dedicated to epigraphy, why has not all the epigraphy related data been assembled there?), deriving from the unfortunate events during the last phases of the volume’s preparation, as well as minor geographical inconsistencies and spelling errors, the volume is informative, with up-to-date references and richly illustrated. The interpret- ational inaccuracies, mostly related to the site’s architecture and nature, can be overcome by a critical evaluation on the part of the reader, thus not diminishing the work as a whole.

    J. E. H. SPAUL I.A.M. 2,250 = AE 1967, 655 AND THE IDENTIFICATION OF COLONIA BABBA aus: Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik 103 (1994) 191–201 © Dr. Rudolf Habelt GmbH, Bonn 191 I.A.M. 2,250 = AE 1967,655 AND THE IDENTIFICATION OF COLONIA BABBA Part I. Where was Colonia Iulia Babba Campestris? Only one of the many "Inscriptions Antiques du Maroc, tome 2, inscriptions latines" mentions the colony of Babba, a town whose location has been and still is the subject of controversy. No. 250 is therefore the only epigraphic pointer which we have to help in bringing this controversy to an end. But before examining the inscription, it is appropriate to review the historical and literary pointers and the previous attempts to locate Babba. It is generally accepted that Colonia Iulia Babba Campestris was one of the three colonies established by Octavian in western Mauretania (Mauretania Tingitana) for men discharged after the Battle of Actium. The original reference to Babba Campestris occurs in the Elder Pliny's Natural History, 5, 1, 5. Pliny has already mentioned one of the three colonies, Colonia Iulia Zilil Constantia, and after describing Lixus, he continues: "Ab Lixo XL millia passuum in mediterraneo altera Augusti colonia est Babba, Iulia Campestris appellata, et tertia Banasa XXXV millia passuum Valentia cognominata: ab ea XXXV millia passuum Volubile oppidum tantumden a mari utroque distans." This seems simple; forty miles inland from Lixus is another Augustan colony, Babba, called Iulia Campestris, and a third, 35 miles further, Banasa, with the surname Valentia; from there, a further 35 miles, is Volubilis, a town which is equidistant from both the seas, the Atlantic and Mediterranean.

The aim of this paper is to identify and characterize the most important building stones used in the construction of the Roman city of Lixus (Larache, Morocco) by means of petrographic and petrophysical techniques. Based on the visual analysis of the monuments, three major building stones (i.e. lithotypes) have been identified: i) Oligocene sandstones, ii) Quaternary sandstones and iii) Quaternary conglomerates.

  • Map 28 Mauretania Tingitana Compiled by M
    Map 28 Mauretania Tingitana Compiled by M. Euzennat, 1995 Introduction Map 1a Fortunatae Insulae Map 28 Mauretania Tingitana The Mediterranean coast of Mauretania was regularly visited from the seventh century B.C. onwards, first by Phoenician (later Carthaginian) sailors on their way west to Spain. At the same time, the merchants of Gades (Map 26 D5) explored the Atlantic coast as far as the island of Mogador, today firmly identified as Cerne (Map 1a C2), which served as a trading station for two centuries as well as from time to time thereafter. The map attempts to reflect the current views of geologists and geographers on the nature of the physical landscape in antiquity, particularly in the Atlantic coastal plains (Desanges 1978, 111-12, 134; Euzennat 1989, 98-103; EncBerb 20 Gharb). Little is known of the organization of the interior, occupied by warlike Moorish tribes, before the middle of the second century B.C. when it came to be ruled by King Bocchus and his descendants. Eventually, in 33, the entire kingdom of Mauretania somehow passed to the Romans, who established three colonies, Zilil, Babba (unlocated) and Banasa, spread out between Tingi and the Oued Sebou (ancient Sububus fl.), and sited in part to strengthen links with the two principal centers of the south, Sala and Volubilis. In 25 B.C. Augustus reconstituted the kingdom of Mauretania for Juba. In A.D. 40, however, after the death of Juba’s son Ptolemy, it was divided into two Roman provinces, Mauretania Caesariensis to the east and Mauretania Tingitana to the west.

  • Roman Amphora Trade Across the Straits of Gibraltar: an Ancient ‘Anti-Economic Practice’?
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Diposit Digital de la Universitat de Barcelona FELIX TEICHNER AND LLUÍS PONS PUJOL ROMAN AMPHORA TRADE ACROSS THE STRAITS OF GIBRALTAR: AN ANCIENT ‘ANTI-ECONOMIC PRACTICE’? Summary. Olive oil and fish products from the south of Hispania and North Africa played an important role in the Roman economy. The authors call attention to the asymmetrical distribution of archaeological data available on this subject, in particular the location of amphora kilns, and try to give an explanation, based on the evolution of European archaeology in the twentieth century. This paper focuses on Roman maritime trade in the ‘Circle of the Straits’,1 the area between the provinces of Baetica (Andalucia) and Mauretania Tingitana (Morocco), where ‘. both the Baetis and the Anas empty, and the limits of Maurusia, the Atlantic Ocean breaks in and thus forms the strait at the Pillars, and by this strait the interior sea connects with the exterior sea’ (Strabo III 1, 7: trans. H.L. Jones, Loeb edition 1923). It will not judge or discuss the question of rationality or irrationality in the ancient economy for which the reader is referred to the relevant recent bibliography (Rathbone 1991; Andreau and Maucourant 1999; Lo Cascio and Rathbone 2000; Scheidel and von Reden 2002; Christensen 2003; Andreau 2005; Carrié 2005; Lautman 2005; Minaud 2005; Rathbone 2005; Tchernia 2005). The historical and economic context is well known. From the beginning of the Roman occupation of the Iberian Peninsula, the fertile valley of the Baetis – the later Guadalquivir – played a key role in the Romanization of Iberia (Keay 1998).

  • La Côte Mauretanienne Et Ses Relations Avec Le Littoral
    LA CÔTE MAURETANIENNE ET SES RELATIONS AVEC LE LITTORAL DE LA BETIQUE (fin du IIIe siÈcle A.C.-Ier siÈcle P.C.) Laurent Callegarin ITEM (EA 3002)-Université de Pau (France) Résumé : Entre la fin du IIIe s. a.C. et l’annexion du royaume de Maurétanie par Claude vers 40-42 p.C., le « Cercle du Détroit », entité culturelle bâtie autour du détroit de Gibraltar, connaît, sous l’action de Rome, une profonde mutation de ses schémas productifs et commerciaux établis parfois depuis le VIIIe s. a.C. Au-delà de cette métamorphose, ce sont les rapports, déséquilibrés, entre les deux composantes du « Cercle du Détroit » qui sont étudiés au travers de la capacité portuaire du littoral africain, de la frappe et de l’usage de la monnaie en Maurétanie, et des évolutions de son activité halieutique. Mots-clés : Cercle du Détroit. Maurétanie. Époque maurétanienne. Gades. Ports. Économie. THE MAURETANIAN COAST AND ITS RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE BAETIC COAST (END OF THE 3rd C.B.C.) ABSTRACT: Between the end of the 3rd C.B.C. and the annexation of the Kingdom of Mauretania by Claudius the 40-42nd. B.C., the «Circle of the Straits» –a cultural entity aroused at the Straits of Gibraltar– underwent a deep transformation, under the effect of Rome, a transformation of its production and trading plans, which were established since the 8th C.B.C. Beyond this metamorphosis, this paper studies the unbalanced relationships between the two member countries of the «Circle of the Straits» taking into account the harbouring capacity of the African coast, the use of the coins in Mauretania, and the evolution of the fishing activity.

  • Lixus (Morocco): from a Mauretanian Sanctuary to an Augustan Palace by Carmen Aranegui and Ricardo Mar
    Papers of the British School at Rome 77 (2009), pp. 29–64 Lixus (Morocco): from a Mauretanian sanctuary to an Augustan palace by Carmen Aranegui and Ricardo Mar Introduction It has become increasingly clear that Gades (Gadir) and Lixus, Phoenician foundations beyond the Straits of Gibraltar attested archaeologically as early as the eighth century BCE, played a fundamental role in the process of the political and cultural transformation of native populations around the Straits (Aubet, 1995). This paper will consider the role of Lixus in the spread of 1 Hellenistic culture to the kingdom of Mauretania from the third century BCE to the assassination of Ptolemy in CE 41–2 (cf. Desanges, 1984–5). Until now, discussions of town planning at Lixus have emphasized the presence of production, residential and administrative areas, all clearly differentiated in topographical terms. This study does not reject this functional approach to urban space completely: however, our interpretation of the monumental heart of Lixus will try to relate it in addition to the political initiatives that affected the city. We shall examine a group of buildings in a central area of ancient Lixus that have been known since 1981. They have been seen, until now, as prototypes of Imperial Roman religious architecture; our purpose here is instead to establish their unique character and to consider them from the perspective of Mauretanian, rather than Roman, history. The ‘Punic West’ (FIG. 1), situated between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic and corresponding to modern Morocco and Spain, was an ethnographi- cally heterogeneous region that classical sources depict as being inhabited by Turdetani, Iberians, Berbers, Libyans, Numidians and Mauri (Desanges, 2006).

  • The Two Mauretaniae: Their Romanization and The
    THE TWO MAURETANIAE: THEIR ROMANIZATION AND THE IMPERIAL CULT by CLAUDIA GIRONI submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the subject ANCIENT HISTORY at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR : PROF. U.R.D. VOGEL JOINT SUPERVISOR : DR M. KLEIJWEGT Date submitted November 1996 SUMMARY The 'Romanization' of the African provinces of Mauretania Tingitana and Mauretania Caesariensis was in fact a two-way process of exchange between Roman and African elements which resulted in a uniquely Romano-African civilization. The imperial cult highlights issues common to all Romanization processes, such as ruler-subject interaction and the role of local initiative in bringing about change, as well as unique issues such as the impact of politics on emperor-worship. The success of the imperial cult was hampered by the fact that only a select few - notably the wealthy local elite - derived direct benefit from the process, and by the fact that, because the pre-Roman Mauretaniae had no established ruler-cults, the imperial cult failed to assimilate with local tradition. As a result, the cult was unable either to make a decisive impact on the Romanization of the Mauretanians, or to achieve any real religious unity among them. KEY TERMS Romanization; Imperial cult; North African history; Roman empire; Mauretania Tingitana; Mauretania Caesariensis; Mauri; Religious syncretism; Roman gods; Roman priests; African religion, ancient. DECLARATION I declare that "The two Mauretaniae : their Romanization and the imperial cult" is my own work and that all the sources that I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references.
