En utilisant une nouvelle approche mise au point par Arthur M. Eckstein dans son œuvre Mediterranean Anarchy, Interstate War, and the Rise of Rome qui soutient que Rome a conquis de manière opportuniste l'Italie et la Méditerranée orientale à travers une série de guerres défensives ou « d’invitations ». La nouveauté de cette approche est son utilisation des paradigmes de la science politique misant surtout sur le concept de l'anarchie réaliste. En tant que telle, cette thèse utilisera le cadre d'Eckstein et l'appliquera au Bellum Gallicum de César pour montrer que, contrairement à l'historiographie traditionnelle, César n'a pas conquis la Gaule par bellicosité et ambition personnelle, mais plutôt à la suite d'invitation directe de ses alliés gaulois le poussant à intervenir défensivement au nom du bellum iustum.

  • Was Galatian Really Celtic? Anthony Durham & Michael Goormachtigh First Published November 2011, Updated to October 2016
    Was Galatian Really Celtic? Anthony Durham & Michael Goormachtigh first published November 2011, updated to October 2016 Summary Saint Jerome’s AD 386 remark that the language of ancient Galatia (around modern Ankara) resembled the language of the Treveri (around modern Trier) has been misinterpreted. The “Celts”, “Gauls” or “Galatians” mentioned by classical authors, including those who invaded Greece and Anatolia around 277 BC, were not Celtic in the modern sense of speaking a Celtic language related to Welsh and Irish, but tall, pale-skinned, hairy, warrior peoples from the north. The 150 or so words and proper names currently known from Galatian speech show little affinity with Celtic but more with Germanic. Introduction In AD 386 Saint Jerome wrote: Apart from the Greek language, which is spoken throughout the entire East, the Galatians have their own language, almost the same as the Treveri. For many people this short remark is the linchpin of a belief that ancient Celtic speech spread far outside its Atlantic-fringe homeland, reaching even into the heart of Anatolia, modern Turkey. However, we wish to challenge the idea that Galatians spoke a language that was Celtic in the modern sense of being closely related to Welsh or Irish. Galatia was the region around ancient Ancyra, modern Ankara, in the middle of Turkey. Anatolia (otherwise known as Asia Minor) has seen many civilisations come and go over the millennia. Around 8000 BC it was a cradle of agriculture and the Neolithic revolution. The whole family of Indo-European languages originated somewhere in that region. We favour the idea that they grew up around the Black Sea all the way from northern Anatolia, past the mouth of the river Danube, to southern Russia and Ukraine.

  • The Manipulation of Words of Sounds and Rumours in Julius Caesar's
    AYELET PEER, Hear No Evil? The Manipulation of Words of Sounds and Rumours in Julius Caesar’s Commentaries, in: Annemarie Ambühl (ed.), Krieg der Sinne – Die Sinne im Krieg. Kriegsdarstellungen im Spannungsfeld zwischen antiker und moderner Kultur / War of the Senses – The Senses in War. Interactions and Tensions Between Representations of War in Classical and Modern Culture = thersites 4 (2016), 43-76. KEYWORDS Julius Caesar, Commentarii, Bellum Gallicum, Bellum Civile, Sound, Battle Descriptions ABSTRACT (English) In recent years, we have witnessed how scholars have re-read and re- examined Caesar’s commentaries on the Gallic and Civil wars, focusing more on the works’ literary merits. In this contribution to the discussion I aim to show how Caesar deploys the motif of hearing to develop his narrative of battle description. Therefore I single out specific words denoting sound such as shouting (clamor), voices (vox), and also the use of rumours (rumor, fama). Caesar probably wished to give his audience a fuller, engaging portrayal of the battlefield, along with its dangers and terrors, so that we, his readers, are able not only to see through the general’s eyes, but also to hear the sounds of war. Sounds are thus significant in conveying the tense atmosphere of war, especially since soldiers are naturally frightened by what they cannot see, but only hear. Yet in this chaos of shouts and voices Caesar would have us remember that only one voice can ease the fears of the soldiers and restore order: the voice of the commander, imperator Caesar. ABSTRACT (German) In den letzten Jahren hat die Forschung Caesars Commentarii zum Gallischen Krieg und zum Bürgerkrieg neu untersucht und den Schwerpunkt vermehrt auf die literarischen Verdienste der Werke gelegt.

  • Oil for the Wheels in Teaching Caesar: Yesterday and Today1
    Teaching Classical Languages Volume 7, Issue 1 Sellers 49 Oil for the Wheels in Teaching Caesar: Yesterday and Today1 Ryan G. Sellers Memphis University School ABSTRACT This article examines some ways of enlivening Caesar’s De bello Gallico in the classroom. It begins by considering the pedagogical methods of Mary E. Harwood, a Latin teacher in the early 1900s. Since Ms. Harwood’s students often found Cae- sar to be a boring, irrelevant text, she developed some creative teaching methods to lessen her own sense of frustration and to help her students better understand, visualize, and appreciate the text. The author argues that even though some of Ms. Harwood’s early twentieth-century strategies would not necessarily work in twenty-first-century Advanced Placement classrooms, her general philosophy of teaching Caesar is still quite germane. In addition to considering Ms. Harwood’s suggestions for teaching Caesar, the article also offers some examples of how the author approaches the challenges of teaching Caesar in his own AP class, in par- ticular by drawing upon popular culture and current events. KEYWORDS Advanced Placement, Caesar, De bello Gallico, pedagogy, film If you were to think about the Latin teachers of the early 1900s, you would probably imagine rigid grammarians and stern taskmasters who resisted any sort of progress and innovation. After all, this was some seventy years before the develop- ment of textbooks like Cambridge and Ecce Romani—books that take a kinder, gentler approach to Latin—and by today’s standards, these early twentieth-century teachers covered an astonishing amount of material: all basic Latin grammar in the first year, Caesar in the second year, Cicero in year three, and Vergil in year four.

    LA VOCATION DE L’ARBRE D’OR est de partager ses admirations avec les lecteurs, son admiration pour les grands textes nourrissants du passé et celle aussi pour l’œuvre de contem- porains majeurs qui seront probablement davantage appréciés demain qu’aujourd’hui. Trop d’ouvrages essentiels à la culture de l’âme ou de l’identité de chacun sont aujourd’hui indisponibles dans un marché du livre transformé en industrie lourde. Et quand par chance ils sont disponibles, c’est financiè- rement que trop souvent ils deviennent inaccessibles.

  • Book 5 – 54 BC
    Book 5 – 54 BC Like Book 4, the AP curriculum has us enter Book 5 in mediās rēs—therefore a brief introduction to the year 54 BC is necessary. Introduction Caesar led his two legions back from Britannia in the early fall of 55 BC. When news of his expedition there reached Rome, the senate declared an unprecedented 20-day public holiday. (The previous record for a public thanksgiving granted to a general was 15 days, which also had been granted to Caesar—after the campaign against the Belgae two years earlier, in 57 BC). Caesar’s first trip to Britannia merely whetted his appetite for a second. No doubt the praise lavished on him back in Rome contributed to his desire to return to the still mostly-unexplored and little-known island. 54 BC, Part 1 – The Second Invasion of Britannia To ensure a less adversity-laden trip the second time around, Caesare showed his usual thoroughness and careful planning. He ordered the legions stationed near the northern coast of Gaul in the winter of 55-54 to construct 600 ships. This would be enough to transport 5 legions—remember that he had only had enough ships to ferry over 2 legions the previous year. Futhermore, the transports were now built according to a new design, one that made them draw less water, so that they could advance much closer to shore. On top of this, Caesar recruited 4,000 cavalry from various friendly—or intimidated—Gallic tribes. Half of the cavalry would travel with him to Britannia, and the other half would remain in Gaul, to provide support for the legions remaining there.

Peter Mauritsch Graz, 2017 Αἱ μὲν δὴ Μάρτιαι Εἰδοὶ πάρεισιν. Ναὶ πάρεισιν, ἀλλ᾿ οὐ παρεληλύθασι. 1 1 Caesar wurde am 15.3.44 v. Chr., also an den Iden des März, während einer Senatssitzung mit 23 Dolchstichen ermordet. Nach Plutarch (Caes. 63,3) wurde er zuvor von einem Seher gewarnt, er solle sich vor den Iden des März hüten. Am Weg zum Senat soll Caesar zu ebendiesem gesagt haben: „Die Iden des März sind nun da“, woraufhin dieser antwortete: „Ja, sie sind da, aber sie sind noch nicht vorüber“. 2 Ehrenwörtliche Erklärung Ich erkläre ehrenwörtlich, dass ich die vorliegende Arbeit selbstständig und ohne fremde Hilfe verfasst, andere als die angegebenen Quellen nicht benutzt und die den Quellen wörtlich oder inhaltlich entnommenen Stellen als solche kenntlich gemacht habe.

  • Alfred Seiland IMPERIUM ROMANUM
    Alfred Seiland IMPERIUM ROMANUM Deutsch vorarlberg museum ZUM GELEIT Der österreichische Fotokünstler Alfred Seiland (geb. 1952) geht in seinem groß angelegten Projekt IMPERIUM ROMANUM der Frage nach, was vom einst mächtigen Römischen Reich geblieben ist. Die Spuren der römischen Antike – seien es landschaftliche oder architektonische – dokumentiert er seit 2006 mit einer Großformatkame- ra rund um das Mittelmeer und weit darüber hinaus. Neben Ruinen, baulichen Resten und Landschaftsformen fotografiert Alfred Seiland auch Ausgrabungsstätten, Museen und Neuinterpretationen einst bedeutender histori- scher Bauten in Italien, Griechenland, Spanien, Frankreich, Nordafrika, in der Türkei, im Nahen Osten, in Rumänien, Bulgarien, Kroatien sowie in Deutschland, Großbritannien, den USA und Österreich. An der Schnittstelle zwischen Vergangenheit und Gegenwart machen die Bilder die zentralen Anliegen des Künstlers deutlich: Wie gehen wir mit den antiken Stätten als historischem Erbe um? Was machen Alterungs- und Verwitterungsprozesse einerseits sowie wir als „moderne Zivilisation“ andererseits aus den antiken Überresten? Aber nicht nur auf diese Spannungs- und Konfliktfelder zwischen Antike und Moderne ist der Blick Alfred Seilands gerichtet: In seinen Fotografien werden auch Diskrepanzen thematisiert, die sich zwischen historischem Kapital und zeitgenössischer Vermarktung, zwischen musealer Pflege und touristischer (Ab-)Nutzung sowie zwischen Erhaltung und Zerstörung des antiken Erbes auftun. Durchgängige Tiefenschärfe, präzise Detailliertheit und ein subtiler, malerisch anmutender Einsatz von Licht und Farbe prägen Alfred Seilands Szenerien. Die Bildkompositionen sind exakt austariert und nicht darauf ausgelegt, ein erhabenes Bild des Altertums zu vermitteln. Vielmehr geht es darum, die zeitgenössischen Brüche der Antiken- rezeption zu veranschaulichen, was mitunter ironische, skurrile, absurde Momente zum Vorschein bringt. Auch die dokumentarische fotografische Haltung tut sich hervor – keines der Bilder ist gestellt.
