Populus in Classes Distributus in Municipal Curiae Under the Early Empire *
Eos C 2013 / fasciculus extra ordinem editus electronicus ISSN 0012-7825 POPULUS IN CLASSES DISTRIBUTUS IN MUNICIPAL CURIAE UNDER THE EARLY EMPIRE * By TADEUSZ KOTULA The present author has published two other works on municipal curiae – or the sections into which the municipal populus was divided in Italy and the prov- inces, just as populus Romanus was divided into tribus – limiting their territorial scope to Roman Africa1; for it is for that part of the Empire that we know the most about curiae thanks to inscriptions from African municipia and coloniae2, already well over a hundred in number. That relative abundance of sources has attracted the attention of scholars investigating the Roman municipal political system, especially as the African soil, rich in monuments, has been revealing ever new documents able to shed light on the origins, organisational structure and evolution of the institution in question. In recent years a new centre has appeared on the map of Roman Africa’s mu- nicipal curiae: the city of Mustis, or Municipium Iulium Aurelium Mustitanum3.

Ob Merita :The Epigraphic Rise and Fall of the Civic
OB MERITA : THE EPIGRAPHIC RISE AND FALL OF THE CIVIC PATRONA IN ROMAN NORTH AFRICA Sarah Emily Bond A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Richard J.A. Talbert Werner Riess Mary T. Boatwright ABSTRACT SARAH BOND: Ob Merita : The epigraphic rise and fall of the civic patron a in Roman North Africa (Under the direction of Richard J.A. Talbert, Werner Reiss, and Mary T. Boatwright) Approximately twelve hundred insc riptions attest to civic patrons within the Roman Empire, but only eighteen indicate that women received the hon orary title of ‘patron of the community’ (patrona civitatis ). The extant inscriptions are confined geographically to Italy, Africa Proconsularis, and Numidia, and are dated to between A.D. 180 and 350. The epigraphic record is the only evidence for the exi stence of civic patronae . This paper explores the interrelations, economic capabilities, and political ties of these women, focusing on the North African patronae civitatis . The epigraphic appearance of civic patronae was a product of a change in the insti tution of patronage to fit the economic needs of certain communities in Italy and North Africa , and their epigraphic disappearance denotes yet another shift in the mediation and commemorations of civic patronage. The ecclesiastical institutions that began to absorb communal responsibilities continued to commemorate female patrons, but in a more inconspicuous manner. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES : . …………… ... ……… .…………………...…… ………… ... ………… . v ABBREVIATIONS ………… .…...………… ……………… …………………... …… ... …. vi Chap ter I.
