Fiction - Historical Novels SINUESSA CAESAR’S LEGACY Luigi Crimarco (Sinuessa, summer of 12 AD) The magistrate Lucio Papio Pollio lives quietly in his villa surrounded by Falerno’s vineyards. He hides a terrible secret. A mistery written in blood on the Ides of March in 44 a.C., when Gaius Julius Caesar is struck down at the hand of the conspirators. Lucio is scared and decides to take his secret to the grave, but such decision will unleash hell upon his life. All the people he loves die, one after another; he will be the only survivor, relegated to a limbo of pain and old age. Caesar’s ghost will reveal him the curse. Lucio decides to write a book to tell Rome and the whole world the truth about the murder. He will set on a journey between past and present, going through Roman cities in all DETAILS their glory, like Rome, Minturnae, Capua, Pages: 522 (15X21) Volturnum, Liternum, Puteoli.

A powerful novel. Luigi Crimaco was born in Rome and he’s a writer. He has a degree in archeology and he carried out many excavations in some of the most important roman cities, like Puteoli, Sinuessa, Cales and Capua. He was the city manager in Pompei, and discovering the place where once stood the roman colony of Volturnum is part of his scientific merit. He is the author of essays and scientific articles about archeological excavations. Currently he manages Archeolo- gical Museums. 40.

Map 44 Latium-Campania Compiled by N
Map 44 Latium-Campania Compiled by N. Purcell, 1997 Introduction The landscape of central Italy has not been intrinsically stable. The steep slopes of the mountains have been deforested–several times in many cases–with consequent erosion; frane or avalanches remove large tracts of regolith, and doubly obliterate the archaeological record. In the valley-bottoms active streams have deposited and eroded successive layers of fill, sealing and destroying the evidence of settlement in many relatively favored niches. The more extensive lowlands have also seen substantial depositions of alluvial and colluvial material; the coasts have been exposed to erosion, aggradation and occasional tectonic deformation, or–spectacularly in the Bay of Naples– alternating collapse and re-elevation (“bradyseism”) at a staggeringly rapid pace. Earthquakes everywhere have accelerated the rate of change; vulcanicity in Campania has several times transformed substantial tracts of landscape beyond recognition–and reconstruction (thus no attempt is made here to re-create the contours of any of the sometimes very different forerunners of today’s Mt. Vesuvius). To this instability must be added the effect of intensive and continuous intervention by humanity. Episodes of depopulation in the Italian peninsula have arguably been neither prolonged nor pronounced within the timespan of the map and beyond. Even so, over the centuries the settlement pattern has been more than usually mutable, which has tended to obscure or damage the archaeological record. More archaeological evidence has emerged as modern urbanization spreads; but even more has been destroyed. What is available to the historical cartographer varies in quality from area to area in surprising ways.

Discovering a Roman Resort-Coat: the Litus Laurentinum and The
DISCOVERING A ROMAN RESORT-COAST: THE LITUS LAURENTINUM AND THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF 1 OTIUM* Nicholas Purcell St John's College, Oxford I. Introductory Otium - the concept of leisure, the elaborate social and cultural definer of the Roman elite away from its business of political and military power - is famous. We can see in Roman literary texts how the practice of otium patterned everyday experience, and how it was expressed in physical terms in the arrangement, on a large and on a small scale, of all aspects of Roman space. The texts likewise show that much of what we would regard as social life, and nearly all of what we think of as economic, belonged in the domain of otium. The complexities and ambiguities of this material have been much studied.2 Roman archaeology equally needs to be an archaeology of otium, but there has been little attempt to think systematically about what that might entail. Investigating the relationship between a social concept such as otium and the material culture that is the primary focus of archaeology must in the first place involve describing Roman culture in very broad terms. The density of explicit or implicit symbolic meaning, the organisation of space and time, degrees of hierarchy of value or prestige: it is at that level of generalisation that the archaeologist and the cultural historian will find the common denominators that enable them to share in the construction of explanations of Roman social phenomena. In this account, which is based on research into a particular locality, we shall have to limit ourselves to one of these possibilities.

Il Territorio Di Sinuessa Tra Storia Ed Archeologia. Di Luigi Crimaco
Il Territorio di Sinuessa tra Storia ed Archeologia. Di Luigi Crimaco Il territorio tra il fiume Volturno e il Monte Massico, costituiva in antico buona parte, dell'antico retroterra agricolo assegnato alla colonia civium romanorum di Sinuessa, fondata nel 296 a. C. proprio al confine tra l'ager Vescinus (in saltu Vescino) e l'ager Falernus. Il territorio dell'antica città romana occupava una parte dell'agro Falerno che, secondo la tradizione, divenne ager publicus populi romani nel 340 a. C., immediatamente dopo la guerra combattuta da Roma contro i Latini e i Campani. Un anno dopo la sanguinosa strage del popolo aurunco, nel 313 a. C., venne fondata la colonia latina di Suessa Aurunca nei pressi del vulcano di Roccamonfina. La costruzione della via Appia nel 312 a. C. venne a sancire la definitiva annessione di quei territori a Roma. Più tardi, nel 296 a. C., in seguito ad una serie di scorrerie da parte dei Sanniti nell'agro Falerno, furono fondate le colonie romane di Minturnae e Sinuessa allo scopo di presidiare militarmente la zona. Questi, in breve, i fatti storici che portarono alla conquista e alla definitiva sistemazione di questa parte della Campania e alla fondazione della colonia civium romanorum di Sinuessa. Nel 217 a. C., durante la seconda guerra punica, a detta di Livio, l'agro Falerno fu devastato dalla cavalleria numidica e ingenti furono i danni apportati alle colture della zona. La devastazione del territorio sinuessano viene consumata sotto gli occhi del console romano Fabio Massimo, il quale assiste con il suo esercito dalla cima del Monte Massico, senza intervenire, alla distruzione delle case dei coloni sinuessani.

The End of Local Magistrates in the Roman Empire
The end of local magistrates in the Roman Empire Leonard A. CURCHIN University of Waterloo, Canadá [email protected] Recibido: 15 de julio de 2013 Aceptado: 10 de diciembre de 2013 ABSTRACT Previous studies of the status of local magistrates in the Late Empire are unsatisfying and fail to explain when and why local magistracies ended. With the aid of legal, epigraphic, papyrological and literary sources, the author re-examines the functions and chronology of both regular and quasi-magistrates, among them the curator, defensor and pater civitatis. He finds that the expense of office-holding was only part of the reason for the extinction of regular magistracies. More critical was the failure of local magistrates to control finances and protect the plebeians. Key words: Cursus honorum. Late Roman Empire. Roman administration. Roman cities. Roman gov- ernment. Roman magistrates. El fin de los magistrados locales en el Imperio romano RESUMEN Los estudios previos relativos a la condición de los magistrados locales durante el Bajo Imperio son poco satisfactorios, porque dejan sin aclarar cuándo y cómo se extinguieron las magistraturas locales. Con ayuda de fuentes jurídicas, epigráficas, papirológicas y literarias, el autor examina de nuevo las funciones y la cronología de magistrados regulares y cuasi-magistrados, como el curator, el defensor y el pater civitatis. Se considera que los gastos aparejados a los cargos públicos explican sólo en parte la extinción de las magistraturas regulares; más crucial fue, en este sentido, el hecho de que los magistra- dos locales de este período fallasen a la hora de restringir los gastos o de proteger a los plebeyos.

Mario Pagano Continuità Insediativa Delle Ville in Campania Fra Tarda Antichità E Alto Medioevo
Mario Pagano Continuità insediativa delle ville in Campania fra tarda antichità e alto medioevo [A stampa in La Campania fra tarda antichità e alto medioevo. Ricerche di archeologia del territorio . Atti della Giornata di studio, Cimitile, 10 giugno 2008, a cura di Carlo Ebanista e Marcello Rotili, Cimitile, Tavolario editore, 2009 (Giornate sulla tarda antichità e il medioevo, a cura di Carlo Ebanista e Marcello Rotili, 1), pp. 9-21 @ degli autori e dell’editore - Distribuito in formato digitale da “Reti Medievali”]. 9 MARIO PAGANO CONTINUITÀ INSEDIATIVA DELLE VILLE NELLA CAMPANIA FRA TARDA ANTICHITÀ E ALTO MEDIOEVO Potrebbe sembrare straordinario che, su un argomento così centrale per la storia di una regione importante come la Campania nel periodo che si esamina, in particolare per la sua rilevanza rispetto all’approvvigionamento di Roma (accresciuta dopo la fondazione di Costantinopoli), e come cerniera col Mediterraneo e in particolare con Costantinopoli, l’Africa, l’Egitto e la Terra Santa, i dati siano piuttosto scarsi. Eppure, pochissimi sono i siti delle ville romane in Campania scientificamente indagati e, anche questi, solo molto parzialmente; una gran quantità di scavi e scoperte occasionali sono inediti o solo insufficientemente pubblicati; assai carenti anche le ricognizioni di superficie; pochi gli studi specifici, e limitati a zone non molto estese. Certo, negli ultimi anni la situazione comincia in qualche misura a mutare, grazie anche ai maggiori investimenti economici degli ultimi anni, ai ritrovamenti avvenuti durante la realizzazione di grandi opere pubbliche e alla continua espansione edilizia che hanno investito la Campania, e alla importante e lodevole iniziativa, che assume già notevole rilievo per il Casertano e il Beneventano, della prof.ssa Stefania Quilici Gigli, che ha permesso la pubblicazione di alcuni fogli della Carta archeologica della Campania riguardanti in particolare la zona di Capua, la valle del Volturno e la Valle Caudina e, prossimamente, quella Telesina.

Pompeii and Herculaneum: a Sourcebook Allows Readers to Form a Richer and More Diverse Picture of Urban Life on the Bay of Naples
POMPEII AND HERCULANEUM The original edition of Pompeii: A Sourcebook was a crucial resource for students of the site. Now updated to include material from Herculaneum, the neighbouring town also buried in the eruption of Vesuvius, Pompeii and Herculaneum: A Sourcebook allows readers to form a richer and more diverse picture of urban life on the Bay of Naples. Focusing upon inscriptions and ancient texts, it translates and sets into context a representative sample of the huge range of source material uncovered in these towns. From the labels on wine jars to scribbled insults, and from advertisements for gladiatorial contests to love poetry, the individual chapters explore the early history of Pompeii and Herculaneum, their destruction, leisure pursuits, politics, commerce, religion, the family and society. Information about Pompeii and Herculaneum from authors based in Rome is included, but the great majority of sources come from the cities themselves, written by their ordinary inhabitants – men and women, citizens and slaves. Incorporating the latest research and ﬁnds from the two cities and enhanced with more photographs, maps and plans, Pompeii and Herculaneum: A Sourcebook offers an invaluable resource for anyone studying or visiting the sites. Alison E. Cooley is Reader in Classics and Ancient History at the University of Warwick. Her recent publications include Pompeii. An Archaeological Site History (2003), a translation, edition and commentary of the Res Gestae Divi Augusti (2009), and The Cambridge Manual of Latin Epigraphy (2012). M.G.L. Cooley teaches Classics and is Head of Scholars at Warwick School. He is Chairman and General Editor of the LACTOR sourcebooks, and has edited three volumes in the series: The Age of Augustus (2003), Cicero’s Consulship Campaign (2009) and Tiberius to Nero (2011).

The contribution analyzes systematically all known cases of municipia governed by duoviri within the Augustan regiones I-VII, aiming at offering a structural reading of the diffusion of municipal duovirate in the Italic area: the analysis allows to formulate hypothesis on the historical reasons for the institutional delay manifested by some areas of the peninsula, where the process of municipalization is fully accomplished only between the Caesarian and the Augustan ages.
