COOLEY AND BENET SALWAY IGENERAL I.i General Introduction The aim of this quinquennial survey remains the same as its predecessor, as for the most part does the format, though the team is regrettably reduced by one.1 With an eye to the study of the Roman world, we hope to signal the most important newly published inscriptions, signicant reinterpretations of previously published material, new trends in scholarship, recent studies that draw heavily on epigraphic sources, and noteworthy developments in the various aids to understanding inscriptions (both traditional printed material and electronic resources). In the context of this journal, the geographical range and chronological scope reect the contours and history of the Roman state from its beginnings down to the end of the seventh century. As such, not only does the survey naturally take in Greek as well as Latin texts, but also epigraphic material in other languages relevant to the Roman world. In the hope that they might usefully reect the various elds of primary interest to readers of this journal, we have maintained the categories established in the last survey. These comprise, after material of general interest and signicance, principal divisions under the headings of (II) Government, law, and authority, (III) Cities, (IV) Funerary epigraphy, (V) Religions, and (VI) Language, literature, and onomastics. The structure of the rst section has been changed somewhat in order to give greater prominence to those inscriptions here singled out as historical highlights. The organization of the discussion within each section (or subsection) generally moves between the thematic, chronological, and geographical, as seems to suit the material best. As noted already in the introduction to the last survey, the quantity of new material and studies published within a ve-year period has now reached such a level that it is neither possible nor desirable to offer comprehensive coverage. An indicator of the volume is the fact that the annual round-up of L’Année épigraphique now regularly runs to over 1,800 entries, which, as its editor has observed, is due as much to the greater attention paid to fragmentary and non-monumental texts as it is to new discoveries.2 Nevertheless, two areas in particular account for signicant numbers of new nds. Not only economic development but also, and increasingly, locally directed archaeological excavations in Turkey mean that the Anatolian provinces continue to yield a rich harvest of epigraphic nds. The most spectacular examples in recent times have come not so much from the traditionally productive areas of Ionia, Lydia, and Caria but from the Tekke peninsula (ancient Lycia), the subject of a three-day conference concerned 1 Primary responsibility for the individual sections is as follows: Cooley I.ii, I.iii (Italy and the West), I.v, II.i–ii, III (Italy and the West), IV; Salway I.i, I.iii (Balkans and Greek East), I.iv, I.vi, II.iii–iv, III (Balkans and Greek East), V–VI. Credit for masterminding the enterprise belongs to Cooley. The authors wish to thank the journal’s anonymous readers for suggesting various improvements. Abbreviations for epigraphic publications follow F. Bérard et al., Guide de l’épigraphiste4 (2010), those for periodicals L’Année philologique. Citations by author and date refer to the consolidated bibliography at the end of the survey. 2 Corbier (2008) = AE (2008), 16. JRS 102 (2012), pp. 172–286. © The Author(s) 2012.

The number of new examples published in a year sometimes exceeds thirty or so, although many are fragments rather than complete artefacts. Accordingly, we are compelled to be selective and are not able to engage as closely with each publication as it may deserve. By way of compensation we have registered in the notes fuller summaries and reviews where they exist. Given the limits of our knowledge and expertise, it is also probable that our choices in particular areas are somewhat arbitrary and unrepresentative. For the specialist, the survey cannot substitute for the annual instalments of AE or the Supplementum Epigraphicum Graecum nor for that essential bibliographic tool, the Guide de l’épigraphiste, which has recently reached its fourth edition and has already received its rst annual supplement (now available free of charge as a download).4 A handy online register of new publications of and on Latin inscriptions of the late antique and early medieval West was established by M. Handley in 2010.5 Navigation of past issues of the annual commentary on new nds and studies in the eld of Greek inscriptions provided by the Bulletin épigraphique of the Revue des études grecques has been assisted in two respects: as well as the consolidated, revised, and indexed collection of D. Feissel’s commentaries on the later Roman material from 1987 to 2004, signalled in the last survey,6 the notices of the later years of M. and Mme Robert (1978–1987) have recently received full indices.7 Probably the most substantial single publication to be considered for this quinquennium is the proceedings of the Twelfth International Congress of Greek and Latin Epigraphy, held in Barcelona in 2002.8 Despite the diversity of their contents, these two volumes offer particularly rich pickings — a result of the Congress’s thematic focus upon the provinces of the Roman Empire as seen through the epigraphic evidence. The regrettable absence of any indices to the limited edition printed version of the acts might represent a major impediment to their consultation, were it not for the publication of the proceedings on searchable CD-Rom. Nevertheless, although the congress was organized into thematic panels, aside from the opening and closing addresses, the published papers are presented strictly in alphabetical order of author’s name. It might then be helpful to pick out the plenary lectures and, for the majority that did make it into print, to signal their location in the published acts. The plenary sessions covered new nds in Greek epigraphy (A. D. Rizakis, V. Kontorini) and Roman epigraphy (G. Paci, M. Corbier),9 epigraphy of the transition between Republic and Empire (S. Panciera),10 cultural diversity in the Spanish provinces (F. Beltrán, A. U. Stylow),11 Greek epigraphy as a reection of the development of the polis (C. Roueché), socio-geographic mobility (H. Solin, O. Salomies),12 Greek epigraphy in the West (M. L. Lazzarini),13 interplay between text and monument (I. Di Stefano Manzella),14 and prosopography and 3 Schuler (ed.)

Although comprehensive acta have not been produced, the summaries of all contributions, including even the posters, were published at the time.16 Indeed the poster, as a format for short communications at these meetings, came into its own for the rst time in Oxford, with eighty displayed, about half of which were also submitted electronically and, for the time-being at least, remain freely accessible.17 Meanwhile the plenary lectures are due to appear in print in time for the fourteenth CIEGL in Berlin.18 Rivalling the acts of the Barcelona Congress in scale and diversity is the three-volume publication of the conference of 2006 in honour of Silvio Panciera. The papers are arranged into thematic sections covering the republican period, the city of Rome, municipalities and coloniae, the aristocracy, the military, and the practice of epigraphy.19 As with the acts of the Barcelona Congress, the frustrating lack of any indices is (at least to some extent) compensated for by the availability of a searchable PDF from the publisher’s website.20 Noteworthy among the trends observable from the material collected in this survey is the fact that the development and consultation of electronic resources has become such an everyday part of the work of recording, cataloguing, and studying inscriptions that it may be redundant to devote a separate section to such matters in the future.

  • The Exiled Bishops of Constantinople from the Fourth to the Late Sixth Century
    Studia Ceranea 5, 2015, p. 231–247 ISSN: 2084-140X DOI: 10.18778/2084-140X.05.07 e-ISSN: 2449-8378 Rafał Kosiński (Białystok) The Exiled Bishops of Constantinople from the Fourth to the Late Sixth Century he existence of quick and efficient communication with the provincial territo- Tries was a matter of vital importance to Late-Antique Constantinople, the cap- ital city and the administrative centre of the Eastern Roman Empire. As a result, it became necessary to ensure the creation and maintenance of the land and sea routes linking the City with the provinces. The present article aims to examine which of those links, specifically by land or sea, facilitated a more rapid and conve- nient communication between the capital city and the more or less distant regions of the Empire, as exemplified by the various places of exile connected with the deposed bishops of Constantinople. Assuming that one of the key goals of sending someone into banishment would be to prevent them, as much as possible, from having any form of communication with the City, the location of the places to which they had been confined by the order of the authorities could indicate which method of contact would have potentially made it easier, or more difficult, for an exiled bishop to communicate with his followers at the capital1. In the early Byzantine period, the office of the Bishop of Constantinople was not a very secure position. Considering the time frame from the consecration of the City until the end of the sixth century, as many as 11 metropolitan bish- ops, in effect every third one, had been deposed from their office.

  • Eunuchs in the East, Men in the West? 147
    Eunuchs in the East, Men in the West? 147 Chapter 8 Eunuchs in the East, Men in the West? Dis/unity, Gender and Orientalism in the Fourth Century Shaun Tougher Introduction In the narrative of relations between East and West in the Roman Empire in the fourth century AD, the tensions between the eastern and western imperial courts at the end of the century loom large. The decision of Theodosius I to “split” the empire between his young sons Arcadius and Honorius (the teenage Arcadius in the east and the ten-year-old Honorius in the west) ushered in a period of intense hostility and competition between the courts, famously fo- cused on the figure of Stilicho.1 Stilicho, half-Vandal general and son-in-law of Theodosius I (Stilicho was married to Serena, Theodosius’ niece and adopted daughter), had been left as guardian of Honorius, but claimed guardianship of Arcadius too and concomitant authority over the east. In the political manoeu- vrings which followed the death of Theodosius I in 395, Stilicho was branded a public enemy by the eastern court. In the war of words between east and west a key figure was the (probably Alexandrian) poet Claudian, who acted as a ‘pro- pagandist’ (through panegyric and invective) for the western court, or rather Stilicho. Famously, Claudian wrote invectives on leading officials at the eastern court, namely Rufinus the praetorian prefect and Eutropius, the grand cham- berlain (praepositus sacri cubiculi), who was a eunuch. It is Claudian’s two at- tacks on Eutropius that are the inspiration and central focus of this paper which will examine the significance of the figure of the eunuch for the topic of the end of unity between east and west in the Roman Empire.

  • Hadrian and the Greek East
    HADRIAN AND THE GREEK EAST: IMPERIAL POLICY AND COMMUNICATION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Demetrios Kritsotakis, B.A, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Fritz Graf, Adviser Professor Tom Hawkins ____________________________ Professor Anthony Kaldellis Adviser Greek and Latin Graduate Program Copyright by Demetrios Kritsotakis 2008 ABSTRACT The Roman Emperor Hadrian pursued a policy of unification of the vast Empire. After his accession, he abandoned the expansionist policy of his predecessor Trajan and focused on securing the frontiers of the empire and on maintaining its stability. Of the utmost importance was the further integration and participation in his program of the peoples of the Greek East, especially of the Greek mainland and Asia Minor. Hadrian now invited them to become active members of the empire. By his lengthy travels and benefactions to the people of the region and by the creation of the Panhellenion, Hadrian attempted to create a second center of the Empire. Rome, in the West, was the first center; now a second one, in the East, would draw together the Greek people on both sides of the Aegean Sea. Thus he could accelerate the unification of the empire by focusing on its two most important elements, Romans and Greeks. Hadrian channeled his intentions in a number of ways, including the use of specific iconographical types on the coinage of his reign and religious language and themes in his interactions with the Greeks. In both cases it becomes evident that the Greeks not only understood his messages, but they also reacted in a positive way.

  • Demography Roman Spain
    CARRERAS MONFORT C. A new perspective for the demographic study of Roman Spain. Revista de Historia da Arte e Arqueologia n.2, 1995-1996; pp. 59-82. A NEW PERSPECTIVE FOR THE DEMOGRAPHIC STUDY OF ROMAN SPAIN César Carreras Monfort* * Universitat Oberta de Catalunya e-mail: [email protected] In the last years, there has been an increase in the number of demographic studies of ancient societies, with the main aim to recognize the internal organization of the populations and, to some extent, how the resources of a territory determined patterns of distribution [Gallo, 1984; Parkin, 1992]. Actually, within the limits of the Roman society, these studies allowed us to revise again basic concepts such as the relationship between the urban and rural world [López Paz, 1994], or even, to discuss about the degree of urbanism that supposedly it is accepted for the Graeco-Roman world. The demographic analyses on the Roman period were recently favoured by a better knowledge now, of the urban perimeters of ancient Roman cities, and the patterns of rural distribution; thanks to the contribution of either the urban archaeology and the rural field-surveys [Barker, 1991] and cadastres studies [Chouquer and Favory, 1991]. Furthermore, the important contribution of papyrology also stands out, since they supply information on demography, which despite being basically about Roman Egypt, it can be extrapolated to other provinces [Hombert and Preaux, 1952; Bagnall and Frier, 1994]. These new documental evidences allow us to carry out a new estimate, from another viewpoint, of the population in a very particular province such as Roman Spain, and also they become a headway in the detailed study of population patterns.

  • Komai in Lykien
    GEPHYRA 1 2004 119-126 Friedrich HILD* KOMAI IN LYKIEN Abstract: Hild presents a comprehensive list of 85 poleis known from the coastal areas and the interior of Lycia. This large number of poleis is countered by far fewer villages (komai) known from literary and epigraphical sources to have existed in the territory (chora) of these cities. The author lists numerous examples of such villages, which were subordinate to the city in whose territory they lay, and provides brief information on the location of many of them. Die antike Kulturlandschaft Lykien war reich gegliedert.1 Einer Reihe von äußerst fruchtbaren Schwemmlandebenen an der Küste (Mündungsdelta des Indos/Dalaman Çay mit der Polis Kalynda, Küstenhof von Telmēssos/Fethiye, Delta des Xanthos Potamos mit Xanthos und Patara, Mündung des Myros Potamos mit Myra, Mündung des Arykandos mit Limyra und Phoinix, Mündung des Alakır Çayı mit Korydalla, Rhodiapolis und Gagai, Mündung des Barsak Çayı bei Tekirova mit Phasēlis, Mündung des Idyros Potamos mit Idyros) standen kleine und kleinste Buchten gegenüber, die ebenfalls als Zentren von Poleis dienten, so An- tiphellos/Kaş, Aperlai (in einer Sympolitie mit Isinda, Apollōnia und Simēna) in Zentrallykien und Kōrykos/Olympos in Ostlykien. Im Hinterland eigneten sich fruchtbare Täler für Stadt- gründungen, so für Tlōs, Pinara und Araxa im Tal des Xanthos Potamos, für Arykanda im Tal des Arykandos und für Akalissos (mit Idebēssos und Korma in einer Sympolitie vereinigt) im Tal des Alakır Çayı. Eingelagert zwischen den beiden großen Gebirgsmassiven des Kragos im Westen und des Masikytos im Osten sind im Quellgebiet des Myros Potamos die großen Becken der Kasaba Ovası mit den Poleis Kandyba und Arneai und die Elmalı Ovası mit den Poleis Podaleia, Chōma und Akarassos.

  • Week 9: Rome & the Provinces
    MMM Week 9: Rome & The Provinces 1. Range of Roman rule Of this whole country that is subject to the Romans, some parts are indeed ruled by kings, but the Romans retain others themselves, calling them Provinces, and send to them praefects and collectors of tribute. But there are also some free cities, of which some came over to the Romans at the outset as friends, whereas others were set free by the Romans themselves as a mark of honour. There are also some potentates and phylarchs and priests subject to them. Now these live in accordance with certain ancestral laws. (Strabo, Geo. 17.3.24=LACTOR M29) 2a. Judaea census, AD 6 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria. (Gospel of Luke 2.1-2) b. Response to census Now Cyrenius (Quirinius), a Roman senator, and one who had gone through other magistracies, and had passed through them till he had been consul, and one who, on other accounts, was of great dignity, came at this time into Syria, with a few others, being sent by Caesar to be a judge of that nation, and to take an account of their substance. … Moreover, Cyrenius came himself into Judea, which was now added to the province of Syria, to take an account of their substance, and to dispose of Archelaus's money; but the Jews, although at the beginning they took the report of a taxation heinously, yet did they leave off any further opposition to it, by the persuasion of Joazar, who was the son of Beethus, and high priest; so they, being over-persuaded by Joazar's words, gave an account of their estates, without any dispute about it.

    GREECE • CRETE • TURKEY MAY 28 - JUNE 22, 2021 Tour Hosts: Dr. Scott Moore Dr. Jason Whitlark organized by GREECE - CRETE - TURKEY / May 28 - June 22, 2021 May 31 Mon ATHENS - CORINTH CANAL - CORINTH – ACROCORINTH - NAFPLION At 8:30a.m. depart from Athens and drive along the coastal highway of Saronic Gulf. Arrive at the Corinth Canal for a brief stop and then continue on to the Acropolis of Corinth. Acro-corinth is the citadel of Corinth. It is situated to the southwest of the ancient city and rises to an elevation of 1883 ft. [574 m.]. Today it is surrounded by walls that are about 1.85 mi. [3 km.] long. The foundations of the fortifications are ancient—going back to the Hellenistic Period. The current walls were built and rebuilt by the Byzantines, Franks, Venetians, and Ottoman Turks. Climb up and visit the fortress. Then proceed to the Ancient city of Corinth. It was to this megalopolis where the apostle Paul came and worked, established a thriving church, subsequently sending two of his epistles now part of the New Testament. Here, we see all of the sites associated with his ministry: the Agora, the Temple of Apollo, the Roman Odeon, the Bema and Gallio’s Seat. The small local archaeological museum here is an absolute must! In Romans 16:23 Paul mentions his friend Erastus and • • we will see an inscription to him at the site. In the afternoon we will drive to GREECE CRETE TURKEY Nafplion for check-in at hotel followed by dinner and overnight.
