Scott Bartchy, Co-chair Professor Ronald Mellor, Co-chair Prompted by recent research on “example” in the field of Classics, this dissertation sets out to better understand the various ways in which Jewish and Christian authors writing, for the most part, in the Imperial west participated in the ubiquitous Roman discourse of exemplarity as they contended for what they understood to be native ancestral leadership ideals. I first introduce the form, function, and broad popularity of the Roman discourse of exemplarity (chapter 1), and propose five prevailing characteristics of ideal Roman leadership (noble lineage, courage/martial prowess, eloquence, generous patronage, and piety), before testing them on multiple Roman works (chapter 2). ii My project then explores the ways in which both the rhetorical form and moral content of this ancient conversation were appropriated and redeployed in texts celebrating non-Roman ancestral leaders. I begin with the Moses(es) of Josephus’ Ant. 2–4 and Philo’s Mosis 1–2, arguing that Josephus’ more sustained contact with Roman culture and politics significantly shaped his presentation of Moses’ exemplary leadership, while Philo’s account largely lacks such narratological and moral Roman coloring. Both authors, however, stress Moses’ all-encompassing paradigmatic piety. Chapters 4–5 focus on the leadership discourse in 1 Clement and The Letter of the Churches of Vienne and Lyons, two corporate letters deploying Christ and Christ-imitating ancestral exempla in the service of intracommunal issues of leadership. I demonstrate the robust participations of these two texts in the Roman discourse of exemplarity as well as their shared appropriation of many characteristically Roman leadership priorities (especially courage and agonistic endurance). At the same time, I argue, both texts advocate the rather un- Roman, Pauline leadership priority of humility (tapeinofrosu,nh) using Roman discursive tools, thus affirming the utility of Roman exemplarity for the preservation and articulation of non-Roman ancestral traditions. Among other implications, my project encourages those studying Roman pedagogy and moral discourse to begin including texts often overlooked as belonging exclusively to the fields of Jewish or Christian studies. Secondly, for those interested in ancient notions of Jewish and Christian leadership, my project encourages the appreciation of both the similarity of developing Mosaic or Christ-oriented leadership traditions to Roman approaches and the possibility of their cultural peculiarity. iii The dissertation of James Michael Petitfils is approved.

  • 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.

  • Livy's Early History of Rome: the Horatii & Curiatii
    Livy’s Early History of Rome: The Horatii & Curiatii (Book 1.24-26) Mary Sarah Schmidt University of Georgia Summer Institute 2016 [1] The Horatii and Curiatii This project is meant to highlight the story of the Horatii and Curiatii in Rome’s early history as told by Livy. It is intended for use with a Latin class that has learned the majority of their Latin grammar and has knowledge of Rome’s history surrounding Julius Caesar, the civil wars, and the rise of Augustus. The Latin text may be used alone or with the English text of preceding chapters in order to introduce and/or review the early history of Rome. This project can be used in many ways. It may be an opportunity to introduce a new Latin author to students or as a supplement to a history unit. The Latin text may be used on its own with an historical introduction provided by the instructor or the students may read and study the events leading up to the battle of the Horatii and Curiatii as told by Livy. Ideally, the students will read the preceding chapters, noting Livy’s intention of highlighting historical figures whose actions merit imitation or avoidance. This will allow students to develop an understanding of what, according to Livy and his contemporaries, constituted a morally good or bad Roman. Upon reaching the story of the Horatii and Curiatii, not only will students gain practice and understanding of Livy’s Latin literary style, but they will also be faced with the morally confusing Horatius.

  • Title: X and Y: a Systematic Review
    DRAFT – Current as of 1/21/2020 WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE FREQUENCY OF EATING AND GROWTH, SIZE, BODY COMPOSITION, AND RISK OF OVERWEIGHT AND OBESITY?: SYSTEMATIC REVIEW PROTOCOL This document describes the protocol for a systematic review to answer the following question: What is the relationship between the frequency of eating and growth, size, body composition, and risk of overweight and obesity? The 2020 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, Frequency of Eating Subcommittee, will be answering this question by conducting a systematic review with support from the USDA’s Nutrition Evidence Systematic Review (NESR). NESR methodology for answering a systematic review question involves: • searching for and selecting articles, • extracting data and assessing the risk of bias of results from each included article, • synthesizing the evidence, • developing a conclusion statement, • grading the evidence underlying the conclusion statement, and • recommending future research. More information about NESR’s systematic review methodology is available on the NESR website: https://nesr.usda.gov/2020-dietary-guidelines-advisory-committee-systematic-reviews. This document includes details about the methodology as it will be applied to the systematic review as follows: • The analytic framework (p. 3) illustrates the overall scope of the question, including the population, the interventions and/or exposures, comparators, and outcomes of interest. • The literature search and screening plan (p. 4) details the electronic databases and inclusion and exclusion criteria (p. 4) that will be used to search for, screen, and select articles to be included in the systematic review. • The literature search and screening results (p. 9) includes a list of included articles, and a list of excluded articles with the rationale for exclusion.

Biblical Exegesis and the Language of Community in Late Antique and Early Medieval Europe Gerda Heydemann Christians in late antique and early medieval Europe were accustomed to imagining their religious community as a people. The notion of the “chosen people”, the “people of God”, functioned as a governing metaphor for articulat- ing the sense of belonging to a community which was at the same time univer- sal and took multiple local forms, all-encompassing but exclusive in its special bond with God. Christian authors used the vocabulary associated with politi- cal or ethnic communities—populus, plebs, natio or gens—to describe and define their community and its coherence, or to delineate its boundaries. Christians encountered the metaphor of the people of God through their engagement with the text of the Hebrew Bible (“Old Testament”). The Old Testament narratives about Israel as God’s chosen people provided a powerful model for Christian communities. When Christian authors appropriated this model they had to explain the ancient biblical concepts to their contemporary audiences. In doing so, they linked the text of the Bible to the political vocabu- lary of their own present. They not only drew on a common-sense understand- ing of what it meant to belong to a people, but also sometimes explicitly reflected on the range of meanings and the usage of the relevant terminology.

Issued April, 1930 PLANT MATERIAL INTRODUCED BY THE OFFICE OF FOREIGN PUNT INTRODUCTION, BUREAU OF PLANT INDUSTRY, OCTOBER 1 TO DECEMBER 31,1928 (NOS. 77596 TO 78508) CONTENTS Paare Introductory statement 1 Inventory 3 Index of common and scientific names 45 INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT This inventory for the period from October 1 to December 31, 1928, contains a large amount of material which was brought in for experimental purposes, and will affect the final cooperative experiments very little, if at all. This is largely true of the plants obtained by the various expeditions that have been in the field for specific purposes. From R. K. Beattie, who is still in the Orient, have been received consider- able collections of Japanese persimmon varieties (Diospyros kaki, Nos. 78487 to 78503), Castanopsis spp. (Nos. 78312 to 78316), and Japanese chestnuts (Gas- tanea crenata, Nos. 78003 to 78031), as well as miscellaneous ornamentals and trees. From the Brandes collecting trip in New Guinea has been brought back a large collection of sugarcanes {Saccharum spp., Nos. 77710 to 77816). From Madagascar, Charles F. Swingle has brought back not only Euphorbia intisy (No. 78169), a source of rubber, but a large miscellaneous collection of other species, some of them possibly also sources of rubber, and others merely of interest as ornamentals. Among the latter the most curious and interesting are the Kalanchoes (Nos. 77907 to 77917, 78423 to 78438, and possibly others), which will probably be useful out of doors in the warmest parts of the United States and as pot plants throughout the rest of the country.
