New and Old Panathenaic Victor Lists NEW AND OLD PANATHENAIC VICTOR LISTS (PLATES71-76) I. THE NEW PANATHENAIC VICTOR LISTS FINDSPOT, DESCRIPTION, AND TEXT The present inscription (pp. 188-189) listing athletic victors in the Panathenaia first came to my attention a number of years ago by word of mouth.1 I do not have accurate information about its initial discovery. The stone was initially under the jurisdiction of Dr. George Dontas, who helped me gain accessto it and determinethat no one was working on it. My own interest in the inscriptionin the first place stemmedfrom the hand. With the assistance of the Greek authorities, especially the two (former) directorsof the Akropolis, G. Dontas and E. Touloupa, whose generous cooperationI gratefully acknowledge,I have been granted permission to publish this important inscription.2In October of 1989 I was able to study the text in situ and also to make a squeeze and photographs.3 I In a joint article it is particularly important to indicate who did what. In this case Stephen Tracy has primary responsibilityfor section I, Christian Habicht for section II, and both authors for IV; section III is subdividedinto parts A, B, and C: Tracy is the primary author of A and B and Habicht of C. Nevertheless, this article is the product of close collaboration.Although initially we worked independently,each of us has read and commentedon the other's work. The final draft representsa version agreed upon by both authors. Photographs:Pls. 71-75, SVT; P1. 76, Tameion ArcheologikonPoron. All dates are B.C., unless otherwise stated.

TRACY AND CHRISTIAN HABICHT The inscriptionis built (inscribedface up) into and presently is one of the top blocks of the late Roman fortificationwall, the so-called post-Herulian Wall on the north side of the Akropolis. The location is just south of Hadrian Street, east of the Tower of the Winds in the area of the Diogeneion.4 The block of gray marble on which it is inscribed is roughly rectangular:0.71 m. high, 0.92 m. wide, and 0.19 m. thick. The letter height and interlinear spacing vary from column to column. Detailed measurementsare provided below in the epigraphical commentary.The block is broken at the top and right side. Although the left side is preserved,it will not be possible to assess its treatment until the block is removed from the wall. The back too seems to be original and rough picked;5the bottom reveals rough chiseling and three rectangulardowel holes. An area acrossthe bottom of the face ca. 0.055 m. in height has been unevenly pared down to give a recessed band (P1. 71). The surface of the face along the left edge (P1. 71) is deliberatelypocked with discretestrokes as (apparently) a kind of decorativetreatment. The inscribedsurface itself reveals light rasp- ing with a tooth chisel. The grooves do not all run in one directionbut are at points vertical and at others slanting or almost horizontal (see, for example, P1. 73:b). The text preservesalmost completelythe recordof the victorsin the equestrianevents at the Panathenaiaof the years 170, 166, and 162. TYPE OF INSCRIPTION AND PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS This inscriptionand the others similar to it, i.e. IG 112, 2313-2317, have been taken as lists of Panathenaicvictors. None of these lists, so far as we can now determine,preserves any sort of preamble indicating the date or the festival.

    ROMAN POLITICS DURING THE JUGURTHINE WAR By PATRICIA EPPERSON ,WINGATE Bachelor of Arts in Education Northeastern Oklahoma State University Tahlequah, Oklahoma 1971 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS May, 1975 SEP Ji ·J75 ROMAN POLITICS DURING THE JUGURTHINE WAR Thesis Approved: . Dean of the Graduate College 91648 ~31 ii PREFACE The Jugurthine War occurred within the transitional period of Roman politics between the Gracchi and the rise of military dictators~ The era of the Numidian conflict is significant, for during that inter­ val the equites gained political strength, and the Roman army was transformed into a personal, professional army which no longer served the state, but dedicated itself to its commander. The primary o~jec­ tive of this study is to illustrate the role that political events in Rome during the Jugurthine War played in transforming the Republic into the Principate. I would like to thank my adviser, Dr. Neil Hackett, for his patient guidance and scholarly assistance, and to also acknowledge the aid of the other members of my counnittee, Dr. George Jewsbury and Dr. Michael Smith, in preparing my final draft. Important financial aid to my degree came from the Dr. Courtney W. Shropshire Memorial Scholarship. The Muskogee Civitan Club offered my name to the Civitan International Scholarship Selection Committee, and I am grateful for their ass.istance. A note of thanks is given to the staff of the Oklahoma State Uni­ versity Library, especially Ms. Vicki Withers, for their overall assis­ tance, particularly in securing material from other libraries.

Kernos Epigraphic Bulletin for Greek Religion 2011 (EBGR 2011) 1 Epigraphic Bulletin for Greek Religion 2011 (EBGR 2011) Angelos Chaniotis 1 The 24th issue of the Epigraphic Bulletin for Greek Religion presents epigraphic publications of 2011 and additions to earlier issues (publications of 2006–2010). Publications that could not be considered here, for reasons of space, will be presented in EBGR 2012. They include two of the most important books of 2011: N. PAPAZARKADAS’ Sacred and Public Land in Ancient Athens, Oxford 2011 and H.S. VERSNEL’s Coping with the Gods: Wayward Readings in Greek Theology, Leiden 2011. 2 A series of new important corpora is included in this issue. Two new IG volumes present the inscriptions of Eastern Lokris (119) and the first part of the inscriptions of Kos (21); the latter corpus is of great significance for the study of Greek religion, as it contains a large number of cult regulations; among the new texts, we single out the ‘sacred law of the tribe of the Elpanoridai’ in Halasarna.

  • Il Pugilato Nell'antichità Tra Storia, Letteratura E Arte
    Quaderni della Società Italiana di Storia dello Sport IL PUGILATO NELL’ANTICHITÀ TRA STORIA, LETTERATURA E ARTE Livio Toschi [email protected] Nell’Iliade Omero descrive così mirabilmente i giochi funebri voluti da Achille in onore di Patroclo, da giustificare l’affermazione di Friedrich Schiller: «Non ha vissuto invano chi ha potuto leggere il XXIII canto dell’Iliade»1. È questa la prima “cronaca” di un agone sportivo. Dopo aver arso il corpo dell’amico su una pira innalzata con il legname di «aeree querce» del monte Ida, Achille bandisce i giochi funebri (agones epitaphioi), che dota di ricchi premi (agones chrematitai). I testi antichi sono pieni di agones epitaphioi, disputati con modalità più o meno simili in ogni tempo e luogo del mondo greco: dagli athla epi Pelia sulla spiaggia di Iolco2, cantati da Stesicoro, ai giochi in onore di Ettore e di Achille a Troia, descritti dagli autori postomerici. 1. Letteratura Gli agones dell’Iliade hanno luogo nella pianura di Troia presso il fiume Scamandro e vicino alla spiaggia dove sorge l’accampamento dei Greci. Le gare sono otto (cinque delle quali ritroveremo nelle antiche Olimpiadi): la corsa dei cocchi, il pugilato, la lotta, la corsa a piedi, il duello in armi (con elmo, lancia e scudo), il lancio del disco, la gara di tiro con l’arco alla colomba, una non meglio definita «prova delle lance». Nella gara di pugilato (pyx, pygme o pygmachia), i cui premi sono una mula per il vincitore e una coppa per lo sconfitto, Epeo batte facilmente Eurialo3. I due indossano una sorta di cintura intorno ai reni (zoma) e fasciano le mani con strisce di cuoio (himantes)4.

Greece is a country that is enclosed with hills and mountains alongside short riv- ers and fertile va lleys. Even though Greek people were living in separate city-states, they were unit- ed under national pride, common temples, same rituals and games like Olympic. Sports were the most important parts of most Greek men. Gym and music alongside each other, fed the body and the soul of the athletes. They admired the beauty of well-trained men. They believed in multiple gods who were living in Holy mount of Olympus under the reign of greater god, Zeus and they held many rituals to satisfy them and Olympic was the most famous rituals amongst others.

  • 2004 Njcl Convention – Reading Comprehension
    2004 NJCL CONVENTION – READING COMPREHENSION LEVEL 2 N.B. There are no macrons on this test. [5] Bellum scripturus sum, quod populus Romanus cum Iugurtha rege Numidarum gessit, primum quia magnum et atrox variaque victoria fuit, dein quia tunc primum superbiae nobilitatis obviam itum est; quae contentio divina et humana cuncta permiscuit eoque vecordiae processit, ut studiis civilibus bellum atque vastitas Italiae finem faceret. Sed prius quam huiusce modi rei initium expedio, pauca supra repetam, quo ad cognoscendum omnia illustria magis magisque in aperto sint. Bello Punico secundo, quo dux Carthaginiensium Hannibal post magnitudinem nominis Romani Italiae opes maxime attriuerat, Masinissa rex Numidarum in amicitiam receptus a P. Scipione, cui postea Africano cognomen ex virtute fuit, multa et praeclara rei militaris facinora fecerat. Ob quae victis Carthaginiensibus et capto Syphace, cuius in Africa magnum atque late imperium valuit, populus Romanus, quascumque urbis et agros manu ceperat, regi dono dedit. Igitur amicitia Masinissae bona atque honesta nobis permansit. Sed imperi vitaeque eius finis idem fuit. Dein Micipsa filius regnum solus obtinuit Mastanabale et Gulussa fratribus morbo absumptis. Is Adherbalem et Hiempsalem ex sese genuit Iugurthamque filium Mastanabalis fratris, quem Masinissa, quod ortus ex concubina erat, privatum dereliquerat, eodem cultu quo liberos suos domi habuit. [6] Qui ubi primum adolevit, pollens viribus, decora facie, sed multo maxime ingenio validus, non se luxu neque inertiae corrumpendum dedit, sed, uti mos gentis illius est, equitare, iaculari; cursu cum aequalibus certare et, cum omnis gloria anteiret, omnibus tamen carus esse; ad hoc pleraque tempora in venando agere, leonem atque alias feras primus aut in primis ferire: plurimum facere, [et] minimum ipse de se loqui.
