    Georgy Kantor Lycia et Pamphylia: A Social and Institutional History The project which I am proposing to undertake is a social and institutional history of the Roman province of Lycia and Pamphylia, from the process of establishment of Roman rule in the region in the late Republic and the Julio-Claudian period to the coming of Christianity and the separation of the constituent parts of the province in the early fourth century AD. The project aims at utilising different kinds of evidence – documentary, archaeological, numismatic, literary. Several factors combine to make such a study worthwhile. The isolated nature of the region, separated as it is by mountain ranges from the rest of Anatolia, and the fact that, with a very brief interruption, it has been a single administrative unit for more than two centuries, from the principate of Claudius to at least AD 312, allow us to treat it as a meaningful object of regional history. But below this unity there were striking distinctions between its different parts. In the course of my doctoral work on Roman and local law in the provinces of Asia Minor, I have found preliminary evidence to indicate that the ways in which Pamphylia and Lycia were governed by Rome were different in many crucial aspects. My project will thus provide an opportunity to study two models of Roman rule within one province, and it is at this level that we can best understand how Roman imperial structures worked and contribute to the ongoing discussion (re-opened by recent works of S.

    EMANUELA BORGIA, CILICIA AND THE ROMAN EMPIRE STUDIA EUROPAEA GNESNENSIA 16/2017 ISSN 2082-5951 DOI 10.14746/seg.2017.16.15 Emanuela Borgia (Rome) CILICIA AND THE ROMAN EMPIRE: REFLECTIONS ON PROVINCIA CILICIA AND ITS ROMANISATION Abstract This paper aims at the study of the Roman province of Cilicia, whose formation process was quite long (from the 1st century BC to 72 AD) and complicated by various events. Firstly, it will focus on a more precise determination of the geographic limits of the region, which are not clear and quite ambiguous in the ancient sources. Secondly, the author will thoroughly analyze the formation of the province itself and its progressive Romanization. Finally, political organization of Cilicia within the Roman empire in its different forms throughout time will be taken into account. Key words Cilicia, provincia Cilicia, Roman empire, Romanization, client kings 295 STUDIA EUROPAEA GNESNENSIA 16/2017 · ROME AND THE PROVINCES Quos timuit superat, quos superavit amat (Rut. Nam., De Reditu suo, I, 72) This paper attempts a systematic approach to the study of the Roman province of Cilicia, whose formation process was quite long and characterized by a complicated sequence of historical and political events. The main question is formulated drawing on – though in a different geographic context – the words of G. Alföldy1: can we consider Cilicia a „typical” province of the Roman empire and how can we determine the peculiarities of this province? Moreover, always recalling a point emphasized by G. Alföldy, we have to take into account that, in order to understand the characteristics of a province, it is fundamental to appreciate its level of Romanization and its importance within the empire from the economic, political, military and cultural points of view2.

  • THE LYCIAN PEOPLE and THEIR ENVIRONMENT 1 Geography And
    CHAP'IERTWO THE LYCIAN PEOPLE AND THEIR ENVIRONMENT 1 Geography and communications in Lycia1 Lycia lies on the south-west coast of Asia Minor, between Caria and Pam­ phylia. At the period of its smallest extent, at the time of the Persian con­ quest, the Lycian state covered an area comparable in size to Attica, ex­ tending over most of the territory of the Xanthos valley, probably as far north as Araxa, more than forty kilometres away from Xanthos, and nearly fifty from the Mediterranean; Bryce has argued that to Homer 'Lycia' meant no more than the Xanthos valley. 2 At its largest, under Perikle of Limyra (pp. 154-70), the Lycian state was comparable in size to the south­ ern Peloponnese (i.e. Laconia and Messenia), stretching from Phaselis in the east to Telemessos in the north-west, nearly a hundred and thirty kilo­ metres as the crow flies, and included a large section of southern Milyas, if not all of it (p. 20). It is separated from its neighbours by high mountains which hampered movement in antiquity. 3 This remoteness continued into modern times-when Bean first visited the area in 1946 he found a country where tractors were unknown, and: When I asked, 'What do you do in the winter?', the answer was, 'We sit'.4 Three great chains determine access to and within Lycia. In the west two spurs of the western Tauros, the Boncuk Daglan and the Baba Dag1 (this latter being ancient Mt. Kragos and Mt. Antikragos) restrict access to Ly­ cia to the pass between them, east of Telemessos.

  • The Enigmatic Amyntas and His Tomb by Paavo Roos*
    Athens Journal of History - Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2020 – Pages 139-156 The Enigmatic Amyntas and His Tomb By Paavo Roos* Among the rock-cut tombs in Fethiye, the ancient Telmessus in western Lycia, there are three with temple façade fronts among numerous of other types. The most famous of them is the one called the Amyntas tomb after the short inscription cut on the left anta. The tomb has been mentioned by several travellers and scholars for centuries but never given a thorough description. Also, the inscription has been mentioned by several persons but has got much less interest than it deserves– although it only consists of the name Amyntas and a patronymic there is a lot to discuss about it. In fact, the defective dealing with the inscription is as enigmatic as the existence of it and its connection with the tomb. Although many questions can easily be posed concerning the tomb the answers to give to them are difficult to find. Introduction Among the many rock-cut tombs in Fethiye (Telmessus) in western Lycia there are three chamber-tombs with temple façades overlooking the town and the harbour (Figure 1). The most famous is the first from the right (Figure 2) which is called the tomb of Amyntas after a short inscription on the left anta.1 Several mysteries are connected with the tomb however, not only with the tomb itself and its owner but also with the handling of it by the scholars and with each others᾽ observations, as we shall see. *Retired Lecturer, Lund University, Sweden.

  • The Oracle and Cult of Ares in Asia Minor Matthew Gonzales
    The Oracle and Cult of Ares in Asia Minor Matthew Gonzales ERODOTUS never fails to fascinate with his rich and detailed descriptions of the varied peoples and nations H mustered against Greece by Xerxes;1 but one of his most tantalizing details, a brief notice of the existence of an oracle of Ares somewhere in Asia Minor, has received little comment. This is somewhat understandable, as the name of the proprietary people or nation has disappeared in a textual lacuna, and while restoring the name of the lost tribe has ab- sorbed the energies of some commentators, no moderns have commented upon the remarkable and unexpected oracle of Ares itself. As we shall see, more recent epigraphic finds can now be adduced to show that this oracle, far from being the fantastic product of logioi andres, was merely one manifestation of Ares’ unusual cultic prominence in south/southwestern Asia Minor from “Homeric” times to Late Antiquity.

  • Lycian and Phrygian Names
    LYCIAN AND PHRYGIAN NAMES. ACCORDING to a theory which has been very commonly accepted by archaeologists in this country, the local names of Greece prove that a single language was once spoken there and in Asia Minor which was totally different from Greek, Thraeian, Illyrian, or Phrygian. It was neither Aryan nor Semitic, and resembled that of the Lycian inscriptions. At a later date, whether before or after the arrival of the Greeks, certain Thraeian and Illyrian elements were added, but they contributed little to the sum of geographical names.1 This belief is founded on the occurrence in Greece of local terminations in -a-0-- and especially in -v9-, which are considered to be foreign, and on their identification with the suffixes -acr- and -vB-, which are well known in Lycia, as well as in other districts of Asia Minor, and are derived from the native Lycian language.2 It is supported by the collection of a long list of geographical names from the islands and the mainland of Greece which are not recognisably of Greek origin, and show resemblances, so close and numerous that they can hardly be accidental, to names of places in Asia Minor. The case as stated by Pauli, Kretschmer, and Fick has a very convincing- appearance. But the facts on which it is based seem to be in general inconclusive and in part erroneous. In the case of -era--, the doubling of the s, which is the most important point in common between the suffixes found in Greece and Asia Minor, is not present in the original Lycian.3 On the other hand, the same suffix occurs in several European countries: as in 1 See especially Kretschmer, Einleitung, guage, related to the Phrygian, there would etc.

Prof. Dr. Mustafa Arslan Selcuk University Beyúehir Ali Akkanat Faculty of Tourism [email protected] Doi:10.5901/jesr.2014.v4n4p455 Abstract Strabo, the geographer, was born (64/63-23? AD) in Amesia in Asia Minor. Today Amasia is called as Amasya in Anatolia. His book, the Geography, is an important ancient source for the toponomy of Anatolia. He described some parts of Asia Minor in his books XII to XIV. Historical conditions have changed since he wrote his book. As Anatolia is a very important peninsula like a cultural bridge between Europe and Asia, many ethnic groups of people have settled here or affected the culture of the region. At least Strabo’s Asia Minor has become Anatolia or Anadolu in Turkish. In addition to these, thousands of settlements were renamed in 1950 and 1960s. The programme for renaming the settlements also changed original Turkish names. Despite of all the changes in the history and the toponomy of Asia Minor-Anatolia, names of some settlements have survived and are still in use with little or no change in sound. In this paper, the toponomy of Strabo’s work and the toponomy of current Anatolia are compared and the unchanged or little changed place names are studied. Keywords: Asia Minor, Anatolia, Ancient Geography, Place Names. 1. Introduction Strabo the geographer was a native of Anatolia and a Greek citizen from Amasia in Pontus region.

  • Iulius Tarius Titianus, Proconsul of Lycia Et Pamphylia
    GEPHYRA 8 2011 125–128 Nuray GÖKALP Iulius Tarius Titianus, proconsul of Lycia et Pamphylia Abstract: The inscription presented here was found in a quarter of Antalya and contains an honorary decree for Iulius Tarius Titianus. The honorand is called proconsul of the province Lycia et Pamphylia. As proconsul he is also mentioned in an inscription from Takina, where a bath was constructed during his governership ca. 202‒205 A.D. An unsolved problem was to which of the provinces – Asia or Lycia et Pamphylia – Takina belonged. From the new text we can now be sure that in the Severan Period Takina stood under the control of the proconsul of Lycia et Pamphylia. Keywords: Attaleia; Lycia–Pamphylia; honorary decree; proconsul; prosopography. This profiled but otherwise undecorated limestone base was found in Antalya in the front garden of a building called Ege, in Gençlik Quarter, 19 Mayıs Road, 1403rd Street, in autumn 2011. The base was fastened with cement into the ground, and had been standing there for over sixty years. The upper part of the stone is hollowed out for a second use of the stone as a mortar. The left side of the stone is damaged. The inscription begins just below the moulding, fills the whole front shaft of the stone and consists of five lines. The letters are carefully ornamented, well ordered and clearly legible. Dimensions: Upper profile: H: 0.59 m; W: 0.66 m; D: 0.70 m; Shaft: H: 0.54 m; Letters: H: 0.03– 0.05 m.

  • Why Did Claudius Annex Lycia?
    ADALYA XIV, 2011 Why did Claudius Annex Lycia? Julian BENNETT* Introduction Generally speaking, the available ancient sources provide us with very little clue as to exactly what motivated individual Roman emperors to annex fresh territories and make them a part of Rome’s imperium. Thus the question as to why a particular region was appropriated by one of other emperor is more often than not a matter of speculation on the part of modern scholars, relying as they have to on individual interpretation of a somewhat limited ‘data-set’ rather than a concise series of clear-cut ‘facts’. This is not, or so it might seem at first sight, the case with the annexation of Lycia by Claudius in AD 43. The two ancient sources on the matter directly report that a state of ‘discord’ or ‘civic unrest’ motivated the decision to take control of a territory that had long been a compliant client state and firm ally of Rome1. Absolute belief in this ‘fact’ has a long history2, and is also the basic conclusion of the most recent discussion of the annexation of Lycia, as provided by Sencer Şahin and Mustafa Adak in their magisterial Stadiasmus Patarensis3. Indeed, these authors begin their analysis of the matter with the terse heading ‘Politische Instabilität auf der lykischen Halbinsel als wesentliches Motiv der Annexation’4. True, they do make a series of cursory remarks on other motives advanced by earlier scholars in connection with the annexation of the territory - the craving on the part of Claudius for ‘imperial glory’, best achieved through territorial expansion5; a desire on his part to extend his personal patronage;6 and perhaps even ‘fiscal advantages’7.
