  • Flavius Athanasius, Dux Et Augustalis Thebaidis – a Case Study on Landholding and Power in Late Antique Egypt
    Imperium and Officium Working Papers (IOWP) Flavius Athanasius, dux et Augustalis Thebaidis – A case study on landholding and power in Late Antique Egypt Version 01 March 2013 Anna Maria Kaiser (University of Vienna, Department of Ancient History, Papyrology and Epigraphy) Abstract: From 565 to 567/568 CE Flavius Triadius Marianus Michaelius Gabrielius Constantinus Theodorus Martyrius Iulianus Athanasius was dux et Augustalis Thebaidis. Papyri mention him explicitly in this function, as the highest civil and military authority in the Thebaid, the southernmost province of the Eastern Roman Empire. Flavius Athanasius might be not the most typical dux et Augustalis Thebaidis concerning his career, but most typical concerning his powerful standing in society. And he has the benefit of being one of the better- known duces et Augustales Thebaidis in the second half of the 6th century. This article will focus first on his official competence as dux et Augustalis: The geographic area(s) of responsibility, the civil and military branches of power will be treated. Second will be his civil branch of power; documents show his own domus gloriosa and prove his involvement with the domus divina, the estates of members of the imperial family itself. We will end with a look at his integration in the network of power – both in the Egyptian provinces and beyond. © Anna Maria Kaiser 2013 [email protected] Anna Kaiser 1 Flavius Athanasius, dux et Augustalis Thebaidis – A case study on landholding and power in Late Antique Egypt* Anna Maria Kaiser From 565 to 567/568 CE Flavius Triadius Marianus Michaelius Gabrielius Constantinus Theodorus Martyrius Iulianus Athanasius was dux et Augustalis Thebaidis.

  • The Praetor As a Promoter of Bonum Commune
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Jagiellonian Univeristy Repository The praetor as a promoter of bonum commune Franciszek Longchamps de Bérier Abstract. – The common good is the reason why political authority exists, the reason why the state exists. This is clearly visible today, and it was also clearly visible to the Romans. The praetor’s work represented par excellance the actualization of the common good under specific conditions and for particular persons. The praetor was endowed with powers which ensured autonomy of action in Rome, limited only by the one-year-long term of office, or an objection by members of the magistracy. He was to act for the benefit of his fellow citizens as a group, and enhance their relationship with the civitas as well as among the citizens themselves. It was only in the latter sphere that he began to play an important role in the protection of private rights. The urban praetor combined all three spheres, which led to the emergence of ways for resolving and settling conflicts, thus improving conditions for the development of individuals within the State, understood as a community of citizens. The claim that the praetor promoted the common good that way – being both predestined and empowered to do so – results from an attempt at identifying the values behind legal solutions. It is not enough to establish what functions were performed by the magistrate and what tools he had at his disposal. It appears 217 that the quintessence of the mission the praetor was entrusted with was promotion of the common good – the way, naturally, it was understood by him and his fellow citizens understood it.

  • (IOWP) the Administration of Egypt in Late Antiquity
    Imperium and Officium Working Papers (IOWP) The Administration of Egypt in Late Antiquity Version 02 May 2011 Bernhard Palme (University of Vienna, Department of Ancient History, Papyrology and Epigraphy) Abstract: Lexicon article on the provincial administration of Egypt 284–641 AD. © Bernhard Palme 2011 [email protected] NFN Imperium and Officium. Comparative Studies in Ancient Bureaucracy and Officialdom 2 The Administration of Egypt in Late Antiquity Late antique Egypt exhibits the typical post-Diocletian fragmentation into smaller administrative units and the division between civilian and military authority which had been in effect since approximately 308 throughout the empire. The civil administration was still in the hands of the praefectus Aegypti, residing in Alexandria, but around 298 Upper Egypt (the Thebais) became a separate province under a praeses Thebaidis ranking below the praefectus. In the course of the 4th century the arrangement of the provinces underwent several changes. While the Thebais with Antinoupolis as capital and Philae as southern border remained a single province, Lower Egypt was divided into Aegyptus Iovia (western Delta) and Aegyptus Herculia (eastern Delta) in 314/5. In 322 Aegyptus Mercuriana, resembling the old Heptanomia (Middle Egypt), was split from the Herculia. A praeses headed each of the four provinces. But already in 324 the bipartite model of Thebais and Aegyptus under a praefectus returned. A major change came in 341, when the eastern part of the Delta and the Heptanomia became the province Augustamnica, governed by a praeses in Pelusium, while the western Delta (Aegyptus ipsa) remained under the praefectus and the Thebais under the praeses.

Kathy Hart, MUHS librarian, was most helpful in suggesting sources. I further thank Gaylan DuBose, Ed Long, Hugh Himwich, Susan Schearer, Gardy Warren, and Kaye Warren for their encouragement and advice. My former students and now Classics professors Daniel Curley and Anthony Hollingsworth also deserve mention for their advice, assistance, and friendship. My student Michael Kocorowski encouraged and provoked me into beginning this dictionary. Certamen players Michael Fleisch, James Ruel, Jeff Tudor, and Ryan Thom were inspirations. Sue Smith provided advice. James Radtke, James Beaudoin, Richard Hallberg, Sylvester Kreilein, and James Wilkinson assisted with words from modern foreign languages. Without the advice of these and many others this dictionary could not have been compiled. Lastly I thank all my colleagues and students at Marquette University High School who have made my teaching career a joy.

  • Roman Litigation – Reports of Court Proceedings
    Imperium and Officium Working Papers (IOWP) Roman Litigation – Reports of Court Proceedings Version 02 May 2011 Bernhard Palme (University of Vienna, Department of Ancient History, Papyrology and Epigraphy) Abstract: Handbook article on litigation in Roman Egypt: outline of the legal practice, the officials involved, and the types of documents like court proceedings, petitions, regulations. Selection of relevant documents with translation and commentary. © Bernhard Palme 2011 [email protected] NFN Imperium and Officium. Comparative Studies in Ancient Bureaucracy and Officialdom 2 Roman Litigation – Reports of Court Proceedings The emperor was the highest judicial authority in Egypt since its incorporation into the Roman Empire. He could be approached in a rescript procedure and he ruled on legal issues, which had been personally brought forth, either with the proviso si preces veritate nituntur, or he delegated trial and ruling to a local governor (Turpin 1991, Honoré 21994, Mourgues 1995). An appeal to the emperor occurred rarely in practice due to the exorbitant cost involved. Things were different, if an emperor visited the province and could be approached by the local population. During the journey of Septimius Severus to Egypt in 200 C.E., for example, various disputes were plead before him and his decisions (rescripta, ἀποκρίµατα) were subsequently published in Alexandria (P.Col. VI 123 = SB VI 9526). Normally, however, the praefectus Aegypti is, as representative of the emperor, the responsible person for the centralized jurisdiction (Wolff - Rupprecht 2002, 104–113). He officiates in plano et pro tribunali in Alexandria and at the annually held conventus (διαλογισµός) in distinguished cities of the Chora, especially Pelusium and Memphis (Foti Talamanca 1979, Haensch 1997).

  • The Medieval Tradition of the Fables of Romulus
    GRAECO-LATINA BRUNENSIA 18, 2013, 1 HANNA VÁMOS (UNIVERSITY OF SZEGED) THE MEDIEVAL TRADITION OF THE FABLES OF ROMULUS The name and the verses of Phaedrus were unknown in the Middle Ages but his fables were widespread in several prosified versions. One of these is the collection of Romulus which has a prominent importance because it preserved some lost Phaedrian fables and various other collections derived from it. This paper examines the textual tradition of these and of Phaedrus’ fables. Additionally, the study attempts to localize an unpublished codex (Ms. Praed. 60, Frankfurt am Main, 15th century) in the stemma. The text of this manuscript seems to be related to the recensio gallicana, but in some cases it is more closely related to the original text of the Romulus-corpus. Accordingly, this codex seems to be an important derivative of Romulean fables. Key words: Aesopic fable, Phaedrus, Romulus, textology The Aesopic fable was popular from antiquity both in Greek and in Latin. A lot of exemplum-fables and collections show the currency of the genre. The first well-known Latin author of the Greek fables was Phaedrus, who did not merely use fables as examples or parables but composed an original collection of them. However, Phaedrus’ name was unknown in the Middle Ages. Instead of his verses, a fable-collection in prose attributed to a certain Romulus flourished until the age of humanism. The Romulus-corpus is not the only fable-collection, but because of its wide-spread currency and its relationship with Phaedrus, it is highly important. This paper deals with the problems of the textual tradition of the Romulus-corpus.

Recent work has even begun to clarify its complex workings.2 But the third-century officium did not appear ex nihilo. It re- sulted from a long evolutionary process, the beginnings of which lie far back in the early decades of the Principate. While a great deal is known about the mature officium, very little is known about its evolu- tion, for although hundreds of inscriptions document the inner workings of the officium in the third century as well as the personnel assigned to it, very little information survives illuminating the earlier stages of its development.

  • Cicero, Retrieving the Honorable
    I Studia Gilsoniana 3 (2014): 63-83 I ISSN 2300-0066 I William A. Frank University of Dallas Irving, Texas, USA CICERO, RETRIEVING THE HONORABLE Pleasure is the beginning and the end of the blessed life. - Epicurus, Letter to Menoeceus, 129a To recognize a person means preeminently to restrain my own potentially unlimited urge for self-expansion ... to resist the inclination to see the other only as a factor in my own life­ project. - Spaemann, Persons, 186 Modernity, as a philosophical and ethical project, stretching from at least the 16th into the 21st century, has been self-conscious of superseding its spiritual and intellectual past. Among its predominant ideological char­ acteristics, intellectual historians, from Max Weber to Brad S. Gregory, identify forms such as secularism, enlightenment rationalism, political liberalism, and scientific naturalism. If there is a unifying thread, perhaps it is expressed in the phrase: "the disenchantment of the world." A godless and indifferent cosmos forces man upon himself alone in dealing with the large questions about life's meaning. The idea of man's fragility and isola­ tion in a purposeless universe is often accompanied by an anthropology committed to the primacy of self-interest in human interactions. The mod­ em period, however, has always included its critics. Chief among them are those committed to projects of retrieving and renewing strains of wisdom to be found in the premodem philosophies of Plato, Aristotle, and Plotinus and Christian thinkers such as Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, and Duns Sco­ tus. Among contemporary philosophers who work within this enduring intellectual tradition, we can count Jude P.

Crews: The Handbooks de officio proconsulis : Authorship and Audience (Under the Direction of James B. Rives) The sixth-century Digest of Justinian preserves individual extracts from four juristic treatises, entitled de officio proconsulis or praesidis and composed during the late second and early third centuries A. D. In the late 19th century the legal scholar Otto Lenel attempted to reassemble these extracts by author and work, with the goal of providing some sense of their original form. The general assumption of many scholars since then has been that these treatises were composed as instructional manuals for the Roman governor, but their original purpose and original audience have been little studied. This dissertation explores the authorship and audience of the works de officio proconsulis/praesidis by comparing the extracts from these legal works with the actual juridical activities of Roman governors as found in literary and epigraphic sources. This comparison reveals many points of correlation between the two and demonstrates that these legal works could have been useful both to the governor and provincial litigants. iii This study concludes that their authors likely conceived of these works more as theoretical legal treaties on the governor’s officium ; however, litigious provincials and the advocates serving them could have found their contents very useful in settling their political scores and legal disputes in the courts of Roman governors, while governors or the jurists on their consilia may have occasionally consulted these handbooks in resolving cases brought before them.
