Dynamics of Disintegration: The Later Han Empire (25-220CE) & Its Northwestern Frontier Abstract As a frontier region of the Qin-Han (221BCE-220CE) empire, the northwest was a new territory to the Chinese realm. Until the Later Han (25-220CE) times, some portions of the northwestern region had only been part of imperial soil for one hundred years. Its coalescence into the Chinese empire was a product of long-term expansion and conquest, which arguably defined the egionr 's military nature. Furthermore, in the harsh natural environment of the region, only tough people could survive, and unsurprisingly, the region fostered vigorous warriors. Mixed culture and multi-ethnicity featured prominently in this highly militarized frontier society, which contrasted sharply with the imperial center that promoted unified cultural values and stood in the way of a greater degree of transregional integration. As this project shows, it was the northwesterners who went through a process of political peripheralization during the Later Han times played a harbinger role of the disintegration of the empire and eventually led to the breakdown of the early imperial system in Chinese history.

  • Cassius Dio and Senatorial Memory of Civil War in the 190S
    Chapter 11 Cassius Dio and Senatorial Memory of Civil War in the 190s Adam M. Kemezis In speaking of Cassius Dio’s account of the political events of 192–97 CE, modern scholars commonly say that he “lived through,” “experienced” or “wit- nessed” them. We do not often say that he “took part in” or “was involved in” them. This does indeed reflect the impression his text gives. Dio mentions that he tried to court Severus’ favor with adulatory writings (73[72].23.1–3 [Xiph.]) and feared Julianus’ reprisals for earlier quarrels between them (74[73].12.2 [Xiph.]), but gives no sign that he favored any side in the wars, let alone acted to advance that side’s cause. Here as elsewhere Dio’s common pose is that of a reactive observer of events driven by others. Such a self-portrait is not unexpected, given what we know of Dio’s early ca- reer as a hereditary aristocrat with much honor but limited access to positions of genuine military and administrative power.1 Dio’s circumstances lent them- selves to a passive attitude. What is less expected is how much this same atti- tude affects his entire narrative of these wars, in a way that sets it apart from the larger Roman historical tradition, including Dio’s own accounts of other civil wars. To briefly state the main contention of this chapter, Dio portrays the civil wars of the 190s as an event that the Roman people and its ruling class col- lectively lived through, experienced and witnessed, while placing remarkably little stress on more active behavior by anyone other than those at the very top, the faction chiefs and one or two key lieutenants.

  • IV in Ravenna-Classe, Lower-Class Apartments in the Harbor Area of The
    38 IV Why do 5th/6th c. Ostrogothic elites continue to live in Roman-style elite houses of the 2nd/3rd c. Severan period? In Ravenna-Classe, lower-class apartments in the harbor area of the 1st century AD were excavated. Since this date does not prove the great importance of the town in the 5th/6th century, a small miracle has to be created. This miracle consists of a boldly postulated durability for apartments that last for more than half a millennium. With this move, one elegantly bridges the centuries, of which, as shown, Andrea Agnellus has not yet known anything (see above, Chapter I). In Ravenna proper, where the upper class is concentrated, one imagines to be on firmer ground. A magnificent find from 1993 appears to supports this view. The aristocratic Domus dei Tappeti di Pietra (Domus of the Stone Carpets) is one of the most important LEFT: Standardized 1st/2nd century Roman domus (city mansion).

The 606 Society (6 in 10 6), founded by Christopher Harding, was incorporated into the new society and those with IQ scores on the Langdon Adult Intelligence Test (LAIT) of 173 or more were also invited to join. (The LAIT qualifying score was subsequently raised to 175; official scoring of the LAIT terminated at the end of 1993, after the test was compromised). A number of different tests were accepted by 606 and during the first few years of Mega ’s existence. Later, the LAIT and Dr. Hoeflin ’s Mega Test became the sole official entrance tests, by vote of the membership. Later, Dr. Hoeflin ’s Titan Test was added. (The Mega was also compromised, so scores after 1994 are currently not accepted; the Mega and Titan cutoff is now 43—but either the LAIT cutoff or the cutoff on Dr. Hoeflin ’s tests will need to be changed, as they are not equivalent.)

  • Roman Real Wages in Context
    Princeton/Stanford Working Papers in Classics Roman real wages in context Version 1.0 September 2010 Walter Scheidel Stanford University Abstract: This paper presents and discusses evidence of real incomes in the Roman period. It shows that real wages rose in response to demographic contractions. There is no evidence that would support the assumption that Roman economic growth raised real wages for workers. However, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence: relevant data are scarce and highly unevenly distributed in time and space. © Walter Scheidel. [email protected] Did Roman rule sustain intensive economic growth and deliver higher incomes for workers? In recent years, growing interest in quantifying Roman economic performance has led to several attempts to estimate Roman GDP. 1 Yet in the absence of substantive evidence, this subject is notoriously difficult to address. Real income provides a measure of economic development that is more readily susceptible to empirical investigation. The study of the purchasing power of workers allows long-term and cross-cultural comparison that puts the Roman economy in a wider context. 2 It is important to define our terms. ‘Roman’ needs to be understood in the broadest possible sense in order to capture all relevant data. For present purposes, this term covers all areas under Roman control up to late antiquity and including the immediate aftermath of Roman rule in the eastern Mediterranean. ‘Real wage’ refers to the value of wage income relative to that of consumer goods. Ideally, the purchasing power of nominal incomes ought to be assessed in relation to the entire bundle of goods and services – what is known as a ‘consumption basket’ – regularly consumed by workers.
