HELLENISATION IN IBERIA?: THE RECEPTION OF GREEK PRODUCTS AND INFLUENCES BY THE IBERIANS Adolfo J. Dominguez Eran los elegantes de Sagunto, j6venes ricos que imitaban las modas de la aristocracia de Atenas, exageradas por la distancia y la falta de gusto. Acte6n tambien ri6 con su fina sonrisa de ateniense al apreciar la torpeza con que aquellos j6venes copiaban a sus lejanos modelos. Vicente Blasco Ibanez, S6nica la Cortesana ( l 90 l ). I . Introduction In recent scholarly literature we read, perhaps too often, words such as 'Hellenisation', which can be interpreted in many different ways, according to the user and the message he wants to convey. The problem is not new. And it continues being a classic on Hellenisa­ tion Gallini's work (I 973, I 75-19 l ). I shall not deal here with a con­ ceptual analysis of this word, nor even make an exhaustive review of all the elements susceptible to being interpreted from the point of view of Hellenisation within Iberia; on the contrary, my main purpose is to put fmward some data related to how Hellenic influences penetrated the Peninsula. In the first place, I must mention some basic questions. Greek presence in Iberia can be traced perhaps from the second half of the 7th century B.C. in the Atlantic regions, especially in the Huelva area, which is undoubtedly related to the Tartessian world. At more or less the same time, or a little later, this Greek presence could be observed in competition with other elements (Etruscans, Phoenicians) in the north-eastern regions of Iberia. In about 600 B.C. the Greek city of Emporion was founded, on the then island of San Martin de Arnpurias. From the last third of the 6th century B.C. Greek presence in Huelva seems to diminish, while it increased in south-eastern Iberia. This situation continued through a good part of the 5th century B.C., after the transformation of Arnpurias in the 302 A.J. DOMINGUEZ true centre of the Iberian Greeks. From the 4th century B.C. their presence was diluted within a rapidly changing world in which other peoples, mainly the Punics, began to reinforce their presence (Domin­ guez 1991, 109-161; 1996). 2. Main Cultural Manifestations ef Hellenic lrifluence in Iberia Throughout more than two centuries of Greek presence and trade in Iberia, Hellenic cultural influences can be seen in a great variety of contexts. In the next pages I shall analyse some displays of art and craftsmanship of native Iberians in which some Hellenic influences can be observed. I shall also attempt to show which of these influences have been manifested and how they have emerged. 2.1. Sculpture There is no doubt that sculpture is one of the most remarkable fea­ tures of Iberian culture. Its beginnings perhaps lay in the late 6th century B.C., with clearly Orientalising prototypes (the case of Pozo Moro continues being remarkable) (Almagro-Gorbea 1983, 177-193); from as early as the 5th century B.C. it began to assume features showing a change of orientation, on that occasion towards Hellenic models. In relation to this, I would like to clarify some points. In some recent literature, Phocaeans have been made responsible for the intro­ duction of sculpture into Iberian culture (Blazquez and Gonzalez 1985, 61-69; 1988, 1-14), provoking some reactions, in part justified and, in part, overdone. Among the latter, I will quote W. Trillmich's conclusions: it is necessaiy to acknowledge that Iberian sculpture is sculpture of the Iberians, who adopted from the Greeks, and others, what they wanted and when they felt like it, maintaining their cultural, ideological, and artistic independence, just as they maintained their political independ­ ence in the so-called Phocaean colonisation of Spain ( 1990, 611 ). These conclusions are the result of the analysis of three cases: Pozo Moro, Obulco (Porcuna) and Baza. Trillmich's arguments, also par­ tially accepted by Niemeyer ( 1988-90, 260-306; 1990, 29-53), tend towards accepting that Iberian sculptors adopted elements from the Greek repertory, but adapted them to their own needs. .

    Princeton/Stanford Working Papers in Classics The eighth-century revolution Version 1.0 December 2005 Ian Morris Stanford University Abstract: Through most of the 20th century classicists saw the 8th century BC as a period of major changes, which they characterized as “revolutionary,” but in the 1990s critics proposed more gradualist interpretations. In this paper I argue that while 30 years of fieldwork and new analyses inevitably require us to modify the framework established by Snodgrass in the 1970s (a profound social and economic depression in the Aegean c. 1100-800 BC; major population growth in the 8th century; social and cultural transformations that established the parameters of classical society), it nevertheless remains the most convincing interpretation of the evidence, and that the idea of an 8th-century revolution remains useful © Ian Morris. [email protected] 1 THE EIGHTH-CENTURY REVOLUTION Ian Morris Introduction In the eighth century BC the communities of central Aegean Greece (see figure 1) and their colonies overseas laid the foundations of the economic, social, and cultural framework that constrained and enabled Greek achievements for the next five hundred years. Rapid population growth promoted warfare, trade, and political centralization all around the Mediterranean. In most regions, the outcome was a concentration of power in the hands of kings, but Aegean Greeks created a new form of identity, the equal male citizen, living freely within a small polis. This vision of the good society was intensely contested throughout the late eighth century, but by the end of the archaic period it had defeated all rival models in the central Aegean, and was spreading through other Greek communities.

  • Constructing Contemporary Nationhood in the Museums and Heritage Centres of Catalonia Colin Breen*, Wes Forsythe**, John Raven***
    170 Constructing Contemporary Nationhood in the Museums and Heritage Centres of Catalonia Colin Breen*, Wes Forsythe**, John Raven*** Abstract Geographically, Spain consists of a complex mosaic of cultural identities and regional aspirations for varying degrees of autonomy and independence. Following the end of violent conflict in the Basque country, Catalonia has emerged as the most vocal region pursuing independence from the central Spanish state. Within the Catalan separatist movement, cultural heritage sites and objects have been appropriated to play an intrinsic role in supporting political aims, with a variety of cultural institutions and state-sponsored monumentality playing an active part in the formation and dissemination of particular identity-based narratives. These are centred around the themes of a separate and culturally distinct Catalan nation which has been subject to extended periods of oppression by the varying manifestations of the Spanish state. This study addresses the increasing use of museums and heritage institutions to support the concept of a separate and distinctive Catalan nation over the past decade. At various levels, from the subtle to the blatant, heritage institutions are propagating a message of cultural difference and past injustice against the Catalan people, and perform a more consciously active, overt and supportive role in the independence movement. Key words: Catalonia, museums, heritage, identity, nationhood Across contemporary Europe a range of nationalist and separatist movements are again gaining momentum (Borgen 2010). From calls for independence in Scotland and the divisive politics of the Flemish and Walloon communities in Belgium, to the continually complicated political mosaic of the Balkan states, there are now a myriad of movements striving for either greater or full autonomy for their region or peoples.

  • Celts and the Castro Culture in the Iberian Peninsula – Issues of National Identity and Proto-Celtic Substratum
    Brathair 18 (1), 2018 ISSN 1519-9053 Celts and the Castro Culture in the Iberian Peninsula – issues of national identity and Proto-Celtic substratum Silvana Trombetta1 Laboratory of Provincial Roman Archeology (MAE/USP) [email protected] Received: 03/29/2018 Approved: 04/30/2018 Abstract : The object of this article is to discuss the presence of the Castro Culture and of Celtic people on the Iberian Peninsula. Currently there are two sides to this debate. On one hand, some consider the “Castro” people as one of the Celtic groups that inhabited this part of Europe, and see their peculiarity as a historically designed trait due to issues of national identity. On the other hand, there are archeologists who – despite not ignoring entirely the usage of the Castro culture for the affirmation of national identity during the nineteenth century (particularly in Portugal) – saw distinctive characteristics in the Northwest of Portugal and Spain which go beyond the use of the past for political reasons. We will examine these questions aiming to decide if there is a common Proto-Celtic substrate, and possible singularities in the Castro Culture. Keywords : Celts, Castro Culture, national identity, Proto-Celtic substrate http://ppg.revistas.uema.br/index.php/brathair 39 Brathair 18 (1), 2018 ISSN 1519-9053 There is marked controversy in the use of the term Celt and the matter of the presence of these people in Europe, especially in Spain. This controversy involves nationalism, debates on the possible existence of invading hordes (populations that would bring with them elements of the Urnfield, Hallstatt, and La Tène cultures), and the possible presence of a Proto-Celtic cultural substrate common to several areas of the Old Continent.

  • The Tubal Figure in Early Modern Iberian Historiography, 16Th and 17Th Century

The focus will be centered on how it is used in different ways in the different kingdoms (Castile, Aragon, Catalonia, Valencia, Portugal and the Basque Provinces and Navarre) and what the authors are trying to achieve through this. Results show that while Castilian authors try to prove Spanish antiquity with the Tubal settlement, in other kingdom, especially in Catalonia, Portugal and Navarre there is a more regional use of the myth. Most of these authors try to prove that their own kingdom is the territory where Tubal settled, which would give a pre-eminence of antiquity to it in comparison to the other Iberian territories.

Introduction Myths have always played an outstanding part in human history and they are without any doubt much older than science. This is also valid for chronicles or historiographical works. Christian historians in particular broke up the division between myth and history, which had been established by classical historiography.1 Only pagan stories remained myths, while the Bible gained the recognition of true history.2 Early Modern chronicles from the Iberian Peninsula are no exception to this phenomenon.

It is a story not just of battles and betrayal, but also of the interactions between dissimilar peoples in a multiethnic army trying to coordinate, fight, and win, while commanded by a Punic officer corps which may or may not have been competent. Carthaginian mercenaries are one piece of a larger narrative about the struggle between Carthage and Rome for dominance in the Western Mediterranean, and their history illustrates the evolution of the mercenary system employed by the Carthaginian Empire to extend her power and ensure her survival.

  • Celtiberian I
    David Stifter Old Celtic Languages Spring 2012 III. CELTIBERIAN Celtiberian is the modern name for a q-Celtic language spoken by the ancient people of the Celt- iberians in the centre of the Iberian Peninsula, occupying the area between the headwaters of the Duero, Tajo, Júcar and Turia rivers and the Ebro river. The language is directly attested in appr. two hundred inscriptions dating to the 2nd–1st centuries B.C., mainly in the Celtiberian variant of the northeastern Iberian script, but also in the Latin alphabet. The language is sometimes also known as Hispano-Celtic. That name is not quite appropriate and is better reserved as a cover-term for all differ- ent variants of Celtic on the Iberian Peninsula. 1. HISTORICAL SKETCH 1st half 1st mill. B.C.?: invasion of q-Celtic peoples into the Iberian peninsula; the pre-existing population contained at least the non-Indo-European Iberians (east and south-east) and Proto-Basks (north-east); the relationship between these two linguistic groups is unclear. The west was inhabited by IE peoples, the Lusitanians, speaking a separate IE language, among them. The linguistic position of Tartessian in the south-west, whose language somehow looks IE, is unclear, but despite recent attempts to prove it, it is unlikely to be Celtic. Furthermore Phoenician and Greek colonists had established themselves in the country 218–202: Iberian Celts are drawn into the 2nd Punic War; by the end of the war, the entire peninsula is in Roman hands who divide it into two provinces. 182–179: 1st war in Celtiberia, pacification of Celtiberia by T.

  • Identifying Global and Local Ritual Traditions in Roman Provincial Capitals of Hispania
    Bailey Franzoi Peter van Dommelen ARCH 2630: Global Romans and Indigenous Persistence December 20, 2018 Identifying Global and Local Ritual Traditions in Roman Provincial Capitals of Hispania Recent archaeological scholarship has continuously been moving away from the narratives of ‘Romanization’ first put forward by 19th and early 20th century scholars such as Theodor Mommsen, Francis Haverfield, and Camille Jullian. In this paper, I aim to do so by looking at the Roman provincial capitals of Corduba and Tarraco and the observable differences in ritual traditions between the Iron Age and the Roman period in those cities, and fitting these patterns of continuity and change into the broader narrative of globalization due to Roman imperial conquest in the Mediterranean. Colonia Patricia, named Corduba during the Roman Republic and now known as modern Cordóba, is located on a hill on the Guadalquivir River. Indeed, it is one of two provincial capitals in Spain (out of three) that is strategically positioned on a major river in Spain, and played a crucial role in transporting the rich mineral and agrarian products of the region out to sea.1 Some of these key goods were olives and olive oil, and an analysis of the pottery at Monte Testaccio in Rome has revealed that around 149 CE, a known Valerii family exported some of the fragments found in Rome from Corduba, as well as other Roman cities in Spain such as those associated with modern Écija and Seville.2 The mineral deposits of the region were exploited through intense mining in the area. So important were these mines to the wealth of southern 1 Curchin, Leonard A., Roman Spain: Conquest and Assimilation.
