  • Jordanes and the Invention of Roman-Gothic History Dissertation
    Empire of Hope and Tragedy: Jordanes and the Invention of Roman-Gothic History Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Brian Swain Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Timothy Gregory, Co-advisor Anthony Kaldellis Kristina Sessa, Co-advisor Copyright by Brian Swain 2014 Abstract This dissertation explores the intersection of political and ethnic conflict during the emperor Justinian’s wars of reconquest through the figure and texts of Jordanes, the earliest barbarian voice to survive antiquity. Jordanes was ethnically Gothic - and yet he also claimed a Roman identity. Writing from Constantinople in 551, he penned two Latin histories on the Gothic and Roman pasts respectively. Crucially, Jordanes wrote while Goths and Romans clashed in the imperial war to reclaim the Italian homeland that had been under Gothic rule since 493. That a Roman Goth wrote about Goths while Rome was at war with Goths is significant and has no analogue in the ancient record. I argue that it was precisely this conflict which prompted Jordanes’ historical inquiry. Jordanes, though, has long been considered a mere copyist, and seldom treated as an historian with ideas of his own. And the few scholars who have treated Jordanes as an original author have dampened the significance of his Gothicness by arguing that barbarian ethnicities were evanescent and subsumed by the gravity of a Roman political identity. They hold that Jordanes was simply a Roman who can tell us only about Roman things, and supported the Roman emperor in his war against the Goths.

  • A Comparative Study of Ancient Greek City Walls in North-Western Black Sea During the Classical and Hellenistic Times
    INTERNATIONAL HELLENIC UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES MA IN BLACK SEA CULTURAL STUDIES A comparative study of ancient Greek city walls in North-Western Black Sea during the Classical and Hellenistic times Thessaloniki, 2011 Supervisor’s name: Professor Akamatis Ioannis Student’s name: Fantsoudi Fotini Id number:2201100018 Abstract Greek presence in the North Western Black Sea Coast is a fact proven by literary texts, epigraphical data and extensive archaeological remains. The latter in particular are the most indicative for the presence of walls in the area and through their craftsmanship and techniques being used one can closely relate these defensive structures to the walls in Asia Minor and the Greek mainland. The area examined in this paper, lies from ancient Apollonia Pontica on the Bulgarian coast and clockwise to Kerch Peninsula.When establishing in these places, Greeks created emporeia which later on turned into powerful city states. However, in the early years of colonization no walls existed as Greeks were starting from zero and the construction of walls needed large funds. This seems to be one of the reasons for the absence of walls of the Archaic period to which lack comprehensive fieldwork must be added. This is also the reason why the Archaic period is not examined, but rather the Classical and Hellenistic until the Roman conquest. The aim of Greeks when situating the Black Sea was to permanently relocate and to become autonomous from their mother cities. In order to be so, colonizers had to create cities similar to their motherlands. More specifically, they had to build public buildings, among which walls in order to prevent themselves from the indigenous tribes lurking to chase away the strangers from their land.

  • Pontic Coast, from Its Beginnings to the Roman Antiquity
    Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities Vol. 1, No. 4, 2015, pp. 288-296 http://www.aiscience.org/journal/jssh A First Approach to Navigation and Trade on the West - Pontic Coast, from Its Beginnings to the Roman Antiquity Romeo Boşneagu 1, * , Valentina Voinea 2, Ana Ion 3 1Geography Department, Tomis University, Constanta, Romania 2National History and Archaeology Museum, Constanta, Romania 3Foreign Languages Department, “Mircea cel Bătrân” Naval Academy, Constanta, Romania Abstract Navigation in the Black Sea finds its beginnings as far back as prehistory. The early navigation on the West Pontic coast is related to the development of the Thracian and the Geto-Dacian civilizations, and also, to the Greek colonization. The history of navigation in these places begins with the Istros, known since the time of the Egyptians. The western Black Sea coast area was part of the freight traffic system of the Greco-Roman world. The goods arriving by sea in the Balkan peninsula provinces were then distributed on the navigable rivers. The importance of Tomis, for the Roman trade in the Black Sea, is illustrated by the large number of epigraphic attestations of merchants and sailors existing in the metropolis. In the Roman-Byzantine period, in the province of Scythia Minor (at the time, the West Pontic coast belonged to this roman province), numerous naval and maritime units were concentrated, along with ground troops.

  • URBAN PROJECTS in SCYTHIA MINOR Ioana-Iulia OLARU, Lecturer, Ph.D
    URBAN PROJECTS IN SCYTHIA MINOR Ioana-Iulia OLARU, Lecturer, Ph.D. (George Enescu University of Arts, Iaşi, Romania) Abstract 223 This study presents some examples of cities – Histria, Tomis, Callatis, Tropaum Traiani, L Troesmis, Noviodunum, Arganum, Dinogetia, Capidava – that focus on the urban projects im that the Romans put into practice in the province of Scythia Minor, where they developed ba j Greek urban types in order to put into practice the new conceptions according to which the ş i architectural model of Urbs should be a living example. c o n t Keywords: urban type, architectural model, city. ext Rezumat , A Studiul prezintă câteva exemple de oraşe – Histria, Tomis, Callatis, Tropaeum Traiani, nu Troesmis, Noviodunum, Arganum, Dinogetia, Capidava –, care aduc, în prim-plan, proiecte l I urbanistice pe care romanii le-au pus în practică în provincia Scythia Minor, unde au V dezvoltat tipuri urbanistice greceşti, găsite aici pentru a pune în practică noile concepţii, , vo conform cărora modelul arhitectural al lui Urbs trebuia să fie un exemplu viu. l. Cuvinte-cheie: tip de urbanizare, model arhitectural, oraş. 1 , 201 Immediately after the Roman conquest, urbanism and architecture as well 2 reached their peak of development in ancient times and even in the first part of Late Antiquity. The role of the peripheral regions had started to grow in the Empire, beginning with the period of the Antonions, while the Late Empire, opened by the dinasty of the Severs, affirms its force in architecture, urbanism extending itself in provinces, too. Our newly founded cities will respect the same construction techniques of buildings, the most frequent being opus incertum, opus caementicum, opus quadratum, opus listatum.

    Beyond the River, under the Eye of Rome Ethnographic Landscapes, Imperial Frontiers, and the Shaping of a Danubian Borderland by Timothy Campbell Hart A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Greek and Roman History) in the University of Michigan 2017 Doctoral Committee: Professor David S. Potter, Co-Chair Professor Emeritus Raymond H. Van Dam, Co-Chair Assistant Professor Ian David Fielding Professor Christopher John Ratté © Timothy Campbell Hart [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0002-8640-131X For my family ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Developing and writing a dissertation can, at times, seem like a solo battle, but in my case, at least, this was far from the truth. I could not have completed this project without the advice and support of many individuals, most crucially, my dissertation co-chairs David S. Potter, and Raymond Van Dam. Ray saw some glimmer of potential in me and worked to foster it from the moment I arrived at Michigan. I am truly thankful for his support throughout the years and constant advice on both academic and institutional matters. In particular, our conversations about demographics and the movement of people in the ancient world were crucial to the genesis of this project. Throughout the writing process, Ray’s firm encouragement towards clarity of argument and style, while not always what I wanted to hear, have done much to make this a stronger dissertation. David Potter has provided me with a lofty academic model towards which to strive. I admire the breadth and depth of his scholarship; working and teaching with him have shown me much worth emulating.

  • Two Phrygian Gods Between Phrygia and Dacia1
    Colloquium Anatolicum 2016 / 15 Keywords: Zeus Surgastes, Zeus Sarnendenos, gods, Phrygia, Galatia, Roman Dacia. Two Phrygian Gods Between Phrygia The author discusses the cult of Zeus Syrgastes (Syrgastos) and Zeus Sarnendenos and points out 1 and Dacia that both are of Phrygian uorigin. For Syrgastes evidence from Old Phrygian records must be added, which proves that this god was long established and had possibly Hittite-Luwian roots. Zeus Sarnendenos seems to be more recent and his mother-country may be sought in north-east Phrygia / north-west Galatia. Both cults were brought to Roman Dacia by colonists coming from Bithynia, possibly from the area of Tios/Hadrianopolis (for Zeus Syrgastes) and Galatia, perhaps from the area of modern-day Mihalıcçık (for Zeus Sarnendenos). Alexandru AVRAM2 Anahtar Kelimeler: Zeus Surgastes, Zeus Sarnendenos, Tanrılar, Phrygia, Galatia, Dacia. |70| Bu makalede Zeus Syrgastes (Syrgastos) and Zeus Sarnendenos kültleri ve bu kültlerin her iki- |71| sinin de Frigya kökenli oldukları tartışılmaktadır. Syrgastes ile ilgili kaynaklar arasında Eski Frig kaynakları bulunmaktadır ki bu durum bize bu tanrının kökenlerinin çok eskiye dayan- dığını, muhtemelen Hitit-Luwi kökenlerine sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Zeus Sarnendenos daha genç bir tanrı olarak gözükmektedir ve anayurdu muhtemelen kuzey-doğu Frigya / ku- zey-batı Galatia olabilir. Muhtemelen her iki kült de Roma Dacia’sına bugünkü Bithynia’dan, Tios/Hadrianopolis (Zeus Syrgastes için) bölgesinden ve Galatia’dan, muhtemelen modern Mihalıcçık (Zeus Sarnendenos için) civarından gelen yerleşimcilerce getirilmiştir. 1 Hakeme Gönderilme Tarihi: 10.05.2016 ve 30.09.2016; Kabul Tarihi: 09.06.2016 ve 03.10.2016. 2 Alexandru AVRAM.

  • Persian Imperial Policy Behind the Rise and Fall of the Cimmerian Bosporus in the Last Quarter of the Sixth to the Beginning of the Fifth Century BC
    Persian Imperial Policy Behind the Rise and Fall of the Cimmerian Bosporus in the Last Quarter of the Sixth to the Beginning of the Fifth Century BC Jens Nieling The aim of the following paper is to recollect arguments for the hypotheses of a substantial Persian interference in the Greek colonies of the Cimmerian Bosporus and that they remained not untouched by Achaemenid policy in western Anatolia. The settlements ought to have been affected positively in their prime in the last quarter of the sixth century, but also harmed during their first major crisis at the beginning of the fifth century and afterwards. A serious break in the tight interrelationship between the Bosporan area and Achaemenid Anatolia occurred through the replacement of the Archaeanactid dynasty, ruling the Cimmerian Bosporus from 480 onwards, in favour of the succeeding Spartocids by an Athenian naval expedition under the command of Pericles in the year 438/437.1 The assumption of a predominant Persian influence to the north of the Caucasus mountains contradicts the still current theory of V. Tolstikov2 and the late Yu.G. Vinogradov,3 who favour instead a major Scythian or local impact as a decisive factor at the Bosporan sites.4 To challenge this traditional posi- tion, this paper will follow the successive stages of architectural development in the central settlement of Pantikapaion on its way to becoming the capital of the region. The argumentation is necessarily based on a parallelization of stratigraphical evidence with historical sources, since decisive archaeological data to support either the Persian or the Scythian hypothesis are few.

  • Economic Role of the Roman Army in the Province of Lower Moesia (Moesia Inferior) INSTITUTE of EUROPEAN CULTURE ADAM MICKIEWICZ UNIVERSITY in POZNAŃ
    Economic role of the Roman army in the province of Lower Moesia (Moesia Inferior) INSTITUTE OF EUROPEAN CULTURE ADAM MICKIEWICZ UNIVERSITY IN POZNAŃ ACTA HUMANISTICA GNESNENSIA VOL. XVI ECONOMIC ROLE OF THE ROMAN ARMY IN THE PROVINCE OF LOWER MOESIA (MOESIA INFERIOR) Michał Duch This books takes a comprehensive look at the Roman army as a factor which prompted substantial changes and economic transformations in the province of Lower Moesia, discussing its impact on the development of particular branches of the economy. The volume comprises five chapters. Chapter One, entitled “Before Lower Moesia: A Political and Economic Outline” consti- tutes an introduction which presents the economic circumstances in the region prior to Roman conquest. In Chapter Two, entitled “Garrison of the Lower Moesia and the Scale of Militarization”, the author estimates the size of the garrison in the province and analyzes the influence that the military presence had on the demography of Lower Moesia. The following chapter – “Monetization” – is concerned with the financial standing of the Roman soldiery and their contri- bution to the monetization of the province. Chapter Four, “Construction”, addresses construction undertakings on which the army embarked and the outcomes it produced, such as urbanization of the province, sustained security and order (as envisaged by the Romans), expansion of the economic market and exploitation of the province’s natural resources. In the final chapter, entitled “Military Logistics and the Local Market”, the narrative focuses on selected aspects of agriculture, crafts and, to a slightly lesser extent, on trade and services. The book demonstrates how the Roman army, seeking to meet its provisioning needs, participated in and contributed to the functioning of these industries.
