ZIMMERN, M.A. FELLOW AND TUTOR OF NEW COLLECE, OXFORD LONDON WILLIAM HEINEMANN 1907 D<5 15M ?2>2> v.l Co p.. 2. /<// rights reserved PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION These two volumes contain a history of the age of Caesar, from the death of Sulla to the Ides of March. They cover the critical years in which Roman imperialism definitely asserted its sway over the civilised world—when, by the conversion of the Mediterranean into an Italian lake, Italy entered upon her historic task as intermediary between the Hellenised East and barbarous Europe. Prefixed to the work are five introductory chapters giving a somewhat lengthy summary of Roman history down to the moment when the detailed narrative begins. Despite the many defects to which this style of writing is obviously exposed, I would beg my readers to study these chapters with patience and for are a introduction to the full goodwill ; they necessary description and understanding of Caesar's own age. Human history, like all other phenomena of life and motion, is the unconscious product of an infinity of small and un- noticed efforts. Its work is done, spasmodically and in disorder, by single individuals or groups of individuals, acting generally from immediate motives, with results which always transcend the knowledge and intentions of contemporaries, and are but seldom revealed, darkly and for a moment, to succeeding generations. To find a clue to the immediate, accidental, * and transitory motives which have pricked on the men of the to their labours to describe and past ; vividly whole-heartedly their vicissitudes and anxieties, their struggles and illusions, as their work to discover how and they pursued ; why, through this work, the men of one generation have often, not satisfied the passions which spurred them to action, but effected some lasting transformation in the life of their society—this should be, in my opinion, the unfailing inspiration of the historian's task. v vi PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION I hope that my book has enabled me to demonstrate that the Roman world-conquest, one of those amazing spectacles in history which, seen from a distance, seem to defy both comparison and explanation, was in reality the effect, remark- able, indeed, for its special conditions of place and time, of an internal transformation which is continually being re-enacted in the history of societies on a larger or a smaller scale, promoted by the same causes and with the same resultant confusion and suffering— the growth of a nationalist and industrial democracy on the ruins of a federation of agricultural aristocracies. My intention is to continue the narrative, in succeeding volumes, down to the break-up of the Empire. We shall watch, in the generation between Augustus and Nero, the appearance of a new aristocracy out of the industrial democracy of Caesar's shall watch this age ; we aristocracy, all-powerful in a peaceful empire, crumble slowly to pieces through its own prosperity, while Christianity and the Oriental worships its foundations and we shall watch undermine spiritual ; finally it is takes it into the as^ it engulfed anew, and down with deeps all that was most ancient and revered in Graeco-Latin civilisation. Thus the book includes in its survey the entire course of one of the most remarkable societies in history, from its birth to its death—from the far-distant morning when a small clan of peasants and shepherds felled the forests on the Palatine to raise altars to its tribal deities, down to the tragic hour in which the sun of Graeco-Latin civilisation set over the deserted fields, the abandoned cities, the homeless, ignorant, and brutalised peoples of Latin Europe.

In the second half of the fifth century before Christ Rome was Rome in 45o ~4°° still an aristocratic community of free peasants, occupying an area of nearly 400 square miles,* with a population, certainly not exceeding I50,ooo,t almost entirely dispersed over the * Cf. Beloch, I. B., 29 ff. 69. * It is true that to iii. the t according Livy , 24, census of 459 B.C. counted 117,319 citizens, which would give a free population of about 400,000. But these figures do not seem to me probable, for the following reasons : (1) If Rome had at that time had as many as 120,000 soldiers, she would not have experienced so much difficulty in conquering the small neighbouring peoples. (2) A population of over 1000 inhabitants to the square mile could not possibly have subsisted, no matter how poor, at a time when Rome lived entirely on the produce of the land. (3) These figures do not agree with others which are more certain. If there were 165,000 citizens on a territory of 1045 square miles in 339 b.c, and 260,321 citizens on 1606 square miles in 293 B.C.

Most of the families had a small holding and cottage of their own, where father and sons lived and worked together, growing corn for the most part, with here and there a strip of vine or olive. Their few head of cattle were kept at pasture the land their clothes on neighbouring common ; and simple implements of husbandry they_made for themselves at home. Only at rare intervals and on special occasions would they make their way into the fortified town which was the centre at once of their religion and their government. Here were the temples of the gods, the houses of the wealthy, and the shops of the artisans and traders, where corn, oil or wine could be bartered in small quantities for salt oV 'F&ngh tools and weapons of iron.

But success has been less frequent, because the knowledge of coins is essentially a knowledge of details, and small treatises are apt to be un- readable when they contain too many references to particular coins, and unprofltably vague when such references are avoided. I cannot hope that I have passed safely between these two dangers ; indeed, my desire has been to avoid the second at all risk of encountering the former. At the same time it may be said that this book is not meant for the collector who desires only to identify the coins which he happens to possess, while caring little for the wider problems of history, art, mythology, and religion, to which coins sometimes furnish the only key.

    CAPITULO II ______________________________________________________________ LOS MUNICIPIOS FLAVIOS 39 II. MUNICIPALIZACIÓN FLAVIA EN LA PROVINCIA DE BÉTICA. La concesión del derecho latino supuso una transformación para las comunidades indígenas, que hasta el momento no habían disfrutado de estatuto privilegiado alguno; eran simples comunidades stipendiariae1, liberae2 o foederatae3 que a partir de ahora pasan a ser municipios latinos. Se trata de un número limitado de comunidades indígenas (aciniponenses, arundenses, baedronenses, cartimatenses, conobarienses, curigenses, ilipulenses, mellarienses, obulculenses, oningitenses, osquenses, ostipponenses, saborenses, singilienses, sosontigitanos, suelenses, ventipponenses, y pocas más), puesto que el testimonio de Ptolomeo y los análisis arqueológicos sobre la organización territorial ibérica catalogan en la zona muchos otros centros indígenas, de estatuto indefinido. Para la identificación de estos municipios flavios, nos hemos basado en la titulación de los enclaves, en los que se conserva la toponímia indígena, desarrollada con el apelativo de Municipium flavium, y en la presencia de la tribu Quirina. Se trata de los siguientes: MUNICIPIOS FLAVIOS EN LA PROVINCIA BAETICA Denominación Localización Referencia Municipal Acinipo Ronda la Vieja (MA) C.I.L. II, 1348; 1350 Alameda Alameda (MA) C.I.L.

  • Romans on Parade: Representations of Romanness in the Triumph
    ROMANS ON PARADE: REPRESENTATIONS OF ROMANNESS IN THE TRIUMPH DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfullment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Amber D. Lunsford, B.A., M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Erik Gunderson, Adviser Professor William Batstone Adviser Professor Victoria Wohl Department of Greek and Latin Copyright by Amber Dawn Lunsford 2004 ABSTRACT We find in the Roman triumph one of the most dazzling examples of the theme of spectacle in Roman culture. The triumph, though, was much more than a parade thrown in honor of a conquering general. Nearly every aspect of this tribute has the feel of theatricality. Even the fact that it was not voluntarily bestowed upon a general has characteristics of a spectacle. One must work to present oneself as worthy of a triumph in order to gain one; military victories alone are not enough. Looking at the machinations behind being granted a triumph may possibly lead to a better understanding of how important self-representation was to the Romans. The triumph itself is, quite obviously, a spectacle. However, within the triumph, smaller and more intricate spectacles are staged. The Roman audience, the captured people and spoils, and the triumphant general himself are all intermeshed into a complex web of spectacle and spectator. Not only is the triumph itself a spectacle of a victorious general, but it also contains sub-spectacles, which, when analyzed, may give us clues as to how the Romans looked upon non-Romans and, in turn, how they saw themselves in relation to others.
