The theme was first suggested, and pays tribute to, the research focus of Elio Lo Cascio, who has been a longstanding board member of this network. The subject of the workshop, and its call for papers, was further developed by him in collabo- ration with Andrea Giardina, Nathalie de Haan and Olivier Hekster. The four of them formed the organisational committee of this workshop. The workshop took place at Rome in June 17–19, 2015. Its meetings were hosted in the convivial surroundings of three separate venues: La Sapienza Università di Roma, the Royal Netherlands Institute of Rome and the Istituto Italiano per la Storia Antica, all of which institutes also assisted the work- shop financially. Further financial support was kindly given by the Ministero dell’Istruzione, dell’Università e della Ricerca (MIUR), the Radboud University, and the Research School OIKOS. The organisers would like to thank all these organisations for their help; in addition the British School at Rome and the École française de Rome are thanked for their aid. This workshop could not have taken place without the organisational skills and energy of Nathalie de Haan and especially Mattia Balbo. Their efforts formed a major factor in ensuring that the workshop was a success. The editors are, furthermore, grateful to Miriam Groen-Vallinga, for her enormous support in getting this volume in print rapidly. For various reasons some participants could not contribute to the volume. Wim Broekaert, Anne Hunnell Chen, Andreas Goltz, Vana Kalenderian, Egbert Koops, Erika Manders, Günther Schörner, Frederik J. Vervaet and Andrea Zerbini are thanked for sharing their work and discussing that of others at the conference.

  • Hadrian and the Greek East
    HADRIAN AND THE GREEK EAST: IMPERIAL POLICY AND COMMUNICATION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Demetrios Kritsotakis, B.A, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Fritz Graf, Adviser Professor Tom Hawkins ____________________________ Professor Anthony Kaldellis Adviser Greek and Latin Graduate Program Copyright by Demetrios Kritsotakis 2008 ABSTRACT The Roman Emperor Hadrian pursued a policy of unification of the vast Empire. After his accession, he abandoned the expansionist policy of his predecessor Trajan and focused on securing the frontiers of the empire and on maintaining its stability. Of the utmost importance was the further integration and participation in his program of the peoples of the Greek East, especially of the Greek mainland and Asia Minor. Hadrian now invited them to become active members of the empire. By his lengthy travels and benefactions to the people of the region and by the creation of the Panhellenion, Hadrian attempted to create a second center of the Empire. Rome, in the West, was the first center; now a second one, in the East, would draw together the Greek people on both sides of the Aegean Sea. Thus he could accelerate the unification of the empire by focusing on its two most important elements, Romans and Greeks. Hadrian channeled his intentions in a number of ways, including the use of specific iconographical types on the coinage of his reign and religious language and themes in his interactions with the Greeks. In both cases it becomes evident that the Greeks not only understood his messages, but they also reacted in a positive way.

    UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION OFFICE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS REGION IX CALIFORNIA 50 UNITED NATIONS PLAZA MAIL BOX 1200; ROOM 1545 SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94102 December 4, 2017 VIA ELECTRONIC MAIL Geeta Brown President InterCoast Colleges 388 West Cerritos Avenue, Bld. 7 Anaheim, California 92868 (In reply, please refer to case no. 09-17-2430.) Dear President Brown: The U.S. Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights (OCR), has resolved the above- referenced complaint against InterCoast Colleges (the College). The Student alleged that the College discriminated against her on the basis of sex.1 Specifically, OCR investigated: 1. Whether the College responded promptly and equitably to the Student’s complaints of sexual harassment; and, 2. Whether the Student was harassed on the basis of her sex when her teacher asked her who she was attracted to, and forced the Student out of her class when the Student did not show up to a potluck. OCR is responsible for enforcing Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX), as amended, 20 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq., and its implementing regulation at 34 C.F.R. Part 106, which prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex in programs and activities receiving financial assistance from the U.S. Department of Education (the Department). The College is a recipient of financial assistance from the Department. Therefore, OCR had jurisdiction to investigate this matter under Title IX. To investigate this complaint, OCR conducted interviews and reviewed documents and other information provided by the Student and the College. The applicable legal standards, the facts gathered during the investigation, and the reasons for OCR’s determinations and the terms of the Resolution Agreement (Agreement) entered into by the College are summarized below.

Dynamics of Disintegration: The Later Han Empire (25-220CE) & Its Northwestern Frontier Abstract As a frontier region of the Qin-Han (221BCE-220CE) empire, the northwest was a new territory to the Chinese realm. Until the Later Han (25-220CE) times, some portions of the northwestern region had only been part of imperial soil for one hundred years. Its coalescence into the Chinese empire was a product of long-term expansion and conquest, which arguably defined the egionr 's military nature. Furthermore, in the harsh natural environment of the region, only tough people could survive, and unsurprisingly, the region fostered vigorous warriors. Mixed culture and multi-ethnicity featured prominently in this highly militarized frontier society, which contrasted sharply with the imperial center that promoted unified cultural values and stood in the way of a greater degree of transregional integration. As this project shows, it was the northwesterners who went through a process of political peripheralization during the Later Han times played a harbinger role of the disintegration of the empire and eventually led to the breakdown of the early imperial system in Chinese history.

  • Perceptions of the Ancient Jews As a Nation in the Greek and Roman Worlds
    Perceptions of the Ancient Jews as a Nation in the Greek and Roman Worlds By Keaton Arksey A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba In partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of Classics University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2016 by Keaton Arksey Abstract The question of what made one Jewish in the ancient world remains a fraught topic for scholars. The current communis opinio is that Jewish communities had more in common with the Greeks and Romans than previously thought. Throughout the Diaspora, Jewish communities struggled with how to live amongst their Greco-Roman majority while continuing to practise their faith and thereby remain identifiably ‘Jewish’. To describe a unified Jewish identity in the Mediterranean in the period between 200 BCE and 200 CE is incorrect, since each Jewish community approached its identity in unique ways. These varied on the basis of time, place, and how the non-Jewish population reacted to the Jews and interpreted Judaism. This thesis examines the three major centres of Jewish life in the ancient world - Rome, Alexandria in Egypt, and Judaea - demonstrate that Jewish identity was remarkably and surprisingly fluid. By examining the available Jewish, Roman, and Greek literary and archaeological sources, one can learn how Jewish identity evolved in the Greco-Roman world. The Jews interacted with non-Jews daily, and adapted their neighbours’ practices while retaining what they considered a distinctive Jewish identity. Each chapter of this thesis examines a Jewish community in a different region of the ancient Mediterranean.
