Roman Britain
Roman Britain Hadrian s Wall - History Vallum Hadriani - Historia “ Having completely transformed the soldiers, in royal fashion, he made for Britain, where he set right many things and - the rst to do so - drew a wall along a length of eighty miles to separate barbarians and Romans. (The Augustan History, Hadrian 11.1)” Although we have much epigraphic evidence from the Wall itself, the sole classical literary reference for Hadrian having built the Wall is the passage above, wrien by Aelius Spartianus towards the end of the 3rd century AD. The original concept of a continuous barrier across the Tyne-Solway isthmus, was devised by emperor Hadrian during his visit to Britain in 122AD. His visit had been prompted by the threat of renewed unrest with the Brigantes tribe of northern Britain, and the need was seen to separate this war-like race from the lowland tribes of Scotland, with whom they had allied against Rome during recent troubles. Components of The Wall Hadrian s Wall was a composite military barrier which, in its nal form, comprised six separate elements; 1. A stone wall fronted by a V-shaped ditch. 2. A number of purpose-built stone garrison forti cations; Forts, Milecastles and Turrets. 3. A large earthwork and ditch, built parallel with and to the south of the Wall, known as the Vallum. 4. A metalled road linking the garrison forts, the Roman Military Way . 5. A number of outpost forts built to the north of the Wall and linked to it by road. 6. A series of forts and lookout towers along the Cumbrian coast, the Western Sea Defences . -

We studied the archaeological material from the Roman, Late Roman and, in particular from the Early Byzantine period. A large number of archaeological objects and especially iron tools found on the ^e~an and Gornji Streoc fortresses indicate a well-developed level of production in the crafts and iron manufacturer. We emphasize the importance of these fortresses in Late Roman times and we highlight the fortification of the interior regions of Illyricum. This suggests that Dardania had a considerable population in the Late Roman period as is confirmed by the many fortresses constructed throughout the entire region, often on almost inaccessible terrain. Key words. – Dardania, Kosovo, Fortifications, Late Roman, Early Byzantine, Finds, Coins. ery little is known about the material culture abounding in pastures and intersected by fertile river of Kosovo in Late Roman times.

Review Article UPON the BORDERS of MACEDONIA SECUNDA
Irena Teodora VESEVSKA UDK: 908(497.7)”652” Review article UPON THE BORDERS OF MACEDONIA SECUNDA – FACTS, ASSUMPTIONS, CONSIDERATIONS Abstract The borders of the Roman Empire, which fluctuated throughout the empire's history, were a combination of natural frontiers and man-made fortifications which separated the lands of the empire from the ”barbarian” lands beyond. In assessing the territory of the Roman Empire, we can observe different geographical and artifi- cial administrative demarcations. At the outskirts we have the frontiers that deter- mined the physical edges of the empire, which established not only the Empire’s size geographically, but also designated the limits of the territory that was to be ruled by the Empire’s administration. The expansion of the empire in the Late Republic and (early) Empire led to an increase of provincial territories and thus of provincial bo- undaries or borders, separating the different provincial territories from each other. The sources of the topography of Macedonia in the Roman period are very poor despite the many geographical and historical works that treat its territory. For the gradual alteration and redefinition of administrative boundaries, the creation of new and the abolition of the old provinces, the sources offer a fragmented picture, while offering only partial details on the definition of the boundaries. In this regard, the attempt to define the exact boundaries between the late antique provinces is ba- sed on several reliable facts and many assumptions. Keywords: LATE ANTIQUE, ROMAN PROVINCES, ADMINISTRATION, MACEDONIA, BORDERS Introduction The bureaucratic system of the Roman Empire, composed with the most serious attention to detail, as a solution to the serious problem of main- taining a vast heterogeneous empire, endangered by dissolution and bank- ruptcy, far from being geographically compact, with its four long, as well as several smaller defending borderlines, was one of the key links for control- ling and governing the spacious territory. -
Novedades Sobre Las Termas Legionarias En Britannia
© Tomás Vega Avelaira [email protected] http://www.traianvs.net/ Novedades sobre las Termas Legionarias en Britannia Tomás Vega Avelaira [email protected] a q v a e 1. Introducción radicionalmente, las investigaciones sobre las edificaciones termales han estado en estrecha relación con ambientes civiles y, en general, con aquellos conjuntos más Tespectaculares, como por ejemplo las termas de Ca- racalla o las de Diocleciano en Roma. Como conse- cuencia de ello, en el imaginario popular se han im- plantado unas estampas excesivamente evocadoras de emperadores seguidos por interminables séquitos disfrutando de los frugales placeres de la vida. En épocas pasadas, pintores como Lawrence Alma-Ta- dema (1836-1912), plasmaban en sus lienzos escenas un tanto oníricas que contribuían a difundir una ima- gen un tanto irreal del pasado de la Ciudad Eterna e, incluso, hoy, la vida militar de los romanos, en pa- labras de Carrié, garantiza el éxito de “anacronistas” de profesión, ingenuos cineastas de cine o maliciosos autores Figura 2. “A Favourite Custom” (1909), óleo sobre tabla, de Lawrence Alma-Tadema.

The Political and Military Aspects of Accession of Constantine the Great
Graeco-Latina Brunensia 24 / 2019 / 2 https://doi.org/10.5817/GLB2019-2-2 The Political and Military Aspects of Accession of Constantine the Great Stanislav Doležal (University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice) Abstract The article argues that Constantine the Great, until he was recognized by Galerius, the senior ČLÁNKY / ARTICLES Emperor of the Tetrarchy, was an usurper with no right to the imperial power, nothwithstand- ing his claim that his father, the Emperor Constantius I, conferred upon him the imperial title before he died. Tetrarchic principles, envisaged by Diocletian, were specifically put in place to supersede and override blood kinship. Constantine’s accession to power started as a military coup in which a military unit composed of barbarian soldiers seems to have played an impor- tant role. Keywords Constantine the Great; Roman emperor; usurpation; tetrarchy 19 Stanislav Doležal The Political and Military Aspects of Accession of Constantine the Great On 25 July 306 at York, the Roman Emperor Constantius I died peacefully in his bed. On the same day, a new Emperor was made – his eldest son Constantine who had been present at his father’s deathbed. What exactly happened on that day? Britain, a remote province (actually several provinces)1 on the edge of the Roman Empire, had a tendency to defect from the central government. It produced several usurpers in the past.2 Was Constantine one of them? What gave him the right to be an Emperor in the first place? It can be argued that the political system that was still valid in 306, today known as the Tetrarchy, made any such seizure of power illegal. -
165 Years of Roman Rule on the Left Bank of the Danube. at The
92 Chapter III PROVINCIA DACIA AUGUSTI: 165 years of Roman rule on the left bank of the Danube. At the beginning of the 2nd century, in the Spring of 101AD, Roman Forces marched against the Kingdom of Decebal. We already know what the Roman's rationale was for starting this war and we also know that the real reason was likely to have been the personal ambition of the first Provincial Emperor, Trajan (he was born in Hispania a man of Macedonian background among Greeks). The Roman armies marched against a client-state of Rome, which was a subordinate ally of Rome. Decebal did not want to wage war against Rome and his recurring peace offers confirm this. It is unlikely that Trajan would only have decided on the total conquest of the Dacian Kingdom after he waged his first campaign in 101-102. After this, Roman garrisons were established in the Province - their ongoing presence is reflected by the Latin names of towns (as recorded by Ptolemy). At Dobreta they begin to build the stone bridge which will span the Danube. It was built in accordance with plans made by Apollodorus of Damascus to promote continuous traffic - it was an accomplishment unmatched - even by Rome. This vast project portends that Trajan began the expedition against Dacia in 101 with the intention of incorporating the Kingdom into the Roman Empire. The Emperor, who founded a city (Nicopolis) to commemorate his victory over Dacia, has embarked on this campaign not only for reasons of personal ambition. The 93 economic situation of the Empire was dismal at the beginning of Trajan's reign; by the end of the second Dacian War it has vastly improved. -
THE SUCIDAVA TYPE of BUCKLES and the RELATIONS BETWEEN the LATE ROMAN EMPIRE and the BARBARIANS in the 6Th CENTURY
THE SUCIDAVA TYPE OF BUCKLES AND THE RELATIONS BETWEEN THE LATE ROMAN EMPIRE AND THE BARBARIANS IN THE 6th CENTURY , by ALEXANDRU MADGEARU Joachim Wemer gave the name of this type of buckles because several pieces have been found at Celei- Sucidava when he published its paper (in 1955)1 . These buckles have a sheld-shaped plate and are adomed by pierced work with cruciform or crescent motifs or with a human stylized face. Joachim Wemer established their dating in second half of the 6th century. Dezso Csallâny wrote, few years after, a study on these buckles, focused especially on the pieces with human face2 . The number of buckles increased very much during the last three decades. Dan Gh. Teodor 3 and Syna Uenze 4 made two typologies in 1991 and 1992. In 1992 Valentin Varsik also published a study about several types of buckles including Sucidava, but he did not proposed a typology3. In the same year the buckles found in the Lower Danubian area were put together into a repertory by Uwe Fiedler 6. The typologies drawn up by S. Uenze and Dan Gh. Teodor are very important for the study of these objects, but we consider possibie a more accurate classification. We remind here that S. Uenze classified the Sucidava buckles into five types: a) - with a simple cruciform decor; , ■ , b) - a cross with all the arms rounded; • c) - a cross with the down arm rounded; d) - with tangent circles; e) - with a human stylized face. The classification made by D. Gh. Teodor is based on the same criterion of the ornament, but is more coherent: a) - without ornament; • b) - with a simple cross; c) - wiţh a cross and a crescent; . -
