LAMBAESIS TO THE REIGN OF HADRIAN By DIANE MARIE HOPPER EVERMAN " Bachelor of Arts Oklahoma State University Stillwater, Oklahoma December, 1977 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 July 25, 1980 -n , ,111e.5J s LAMBAESIS TO THE REIGN OF HADRIAN Thesis Approved: Dean of the Graduate College ii 10S2909 PREFACE Lambaesis was a Roman Imperial military fortress in North Africa in the modern-day nation of Algeria. Rome originally acquired the territory as a result of the defeat of Carthage in the Punic Wars. Expansion of territory and settlement of surplus population were two ideas behind its Romanization. However, North Africa's greatest asset for becoming a province was its large yield of grain. This province furnished most of the wheat for the empire. If something happened to hinder its annual production level then Rome and its provinces would face famine. Unlike most instances of acquiring territory Rome did not try to assimilate the native transhumant population. Instead these inhabitants held on to their ancestral lands until they were forcibly removed. This territory was the most agriculturally productive; unfortunately, it was also the area of seasonal migration for the native people. Lambaesis is important in this scheme because it was the base of the solitary legion in North Africa, the III Legio Augusta. After beginning in the eastern section of the province just north of the Aures Mountains the legion gradually moved west leaving a peaceful area behind. The site of Lambaesis was the III Legio Augusta's westernmost fortress. -
FORTIFICATIONS in AFRICA: a BIBLIOGRAPHIC ESSAY Alexander
FORTIFICATIONS IN AFRICA: A BIBLIOGRAPHIC ESSAY Alexander Sarantis General Discussion In contrast with other regions of the West and (in the case of Cyrenaica) the East, the publications on the fortifications of Africa have merited their own paper. This is down to the fact that it is not as easy to summarise the major works on fortifications in all of the North African provinces, from Cyrenaica to Mauretania Tingitana, for the 3rd to 6th c., as it is in the case of other areas. Work on each of the major African provinces, and on the periods before and after the Vandal era, tend to be treated separately in the literature.1 Although, as will be seen in this paper, limited major exca- vation work has taken place on military sites in these regions, a substantial body of literature exists for each of the major areas, mostly based on field survey and textual evidence. Because this paper deals chronologically with developments across the period, referring in the same sections to refer- ences from various regions, its text will appear at the outset, and biblio- graphic entries organised by region will follow. Mattingly and Hitchner (1995) 174–76 and 211–13 is a good introduc- tion to research on fortifications and the army in Roman and late antique North Africa. Le Bohec (1991) offers a more detailed review of work since 1979, and Krimi (2004) and Bel Faïda (2004) survey recent literature on Roman Tripolitania and North African frontier studies, respectively. Welsby (1990) contains useful references to work on Early and Late Roman military architecture. -

Thank you for supporting my education venture for these past six years. Your love and support means everything to me. I love you! v ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Motives For Roman Imperialism in North Africa, 300 BCE to 100 CE by Michael A. DeMonto Master of Arts in History San Diego State University, 2015 Previous examinations of Roman imperialism in North Africa are insufficient because they lack an appreciation of the balance between the defensive, political, and economic motives. These past arguments have focused on specific regions around the Mediterranean world, but have failed to include North Africa – an integral part of the Roman Empire. This region was politically and economically integrated into the empire during the first century CE. This study closely examines the ancient sources for Roman imperialism in North Africa from 300 BCE to 100 CE to construct the narrative for Roman imperialism while juxtaposing corresponding ancient and archaeological evidence. This study examines the ancient and modern constructed narratives against anthropological models for interstate warfare and cooperation. The ancient written sources include Polybius’s Histories, Livy’s Ab Urbe Condita and Periochae, Appian’s Roman History, Dio Cassius’s Roman History, Sallust’s Jugurthine War, Julius Caesar’s De Africo Bello, Velleius Paterculus’s Roman History, Augustus’s Res Gestae Divi Augusti, Tacitus’s Annals and Histories, and Pliny the Elder’s Natural Histories. -

The Evolution of Roman Frontier Concept and Policy
THE EVOLUTION OF ROMAN FRONTIER CONCEPT AND POLICY George Cupcea Western University, Timișoara [email protected] Abstract: The Roman power is, ideologically, infinite in time and space. Nevertheless, the Roman state had experienced a wide variety of territorial limits, evolving in time and space, more or less throughout a millennium. If at first the Roman state, limited to Rome metropolitan area, later to the Italian peninsula, was easily defensible, beginning with the heavy expansion, also came trouble. The Romans, always innovating, find solutions for the fortification of the contact zones with the Barbarians. The Roman frontier concept was fundamentally different from the modern one. If the defence of Roman possessions was obviously priority, the border should remain an open ensemble, allowing for the free circulation of people and goods, some of the fundamental Roman rights. The peak of Roman expansion, 2nd century A.D. brings also the maximum development of the Empire frontier. Dacia overlaps widely chronologically on this trend, this being one of the reasons for one of the most complex frontier system in the Empire. Keywords: Rome, frontier, limes, army, strategy. he Roman frontier area is first and foremost a market, where demand is always present, varying a lot in intensity. Provisions practically Tdictate evolution and Romanization. The Roman frontier is a complex phenomenon, comprising different regions, with different characteristics, impossible to generalize. The Romans have a long tradition of negotiating with other people. The limited number of citizens during the time of the Republic prevents massive colonization and the presence of garrisons is not popular. That is why Romans opted for understanding with those whom they conquered, even more so because they usually occupy densely populated and economically developed areas. -
Géographie Historique, Peuplement Et Terroirs Dans La Région Du Hodna Occidental Au Moyen Âge Mohamed Meouak Abstract Based
Acta Orientalia 2010: 71, 47–81. Copyright © 2010 Printed in Norway – all rights reserved ACTA ORIENTALIA ISSN 0001-6438 Géographie historique, peuplement et terroirs dans la région du Hodna occidental au Moyen Âge Mohamed Meouak Cadix Abstract Based on a critical lecture of Medieval Arabic historical and geographical sources, this study deals with three points mainly centred on settlement topics. The first point consists of a description of the Western Hodna within the geographical history of the Central Maghreb. The second question offers a list of the main sites of Western Hodna through the Medieval Arabic sources with the whole settlement’s Arabic vocabulary. The third part tries to give some observations on the modalities of settlements, the tribal impact on the settlements and the problem of the types of settlements: village (qarya) and fortress (ḥiṣn). The last part is a summary of the study with several suggestions for further research in relation to the studied matters like historical geography and rural economy. Keywords: Medieval Central Maghreb; Western Hodna; settlements; tribes; fortress; village. Introduction L’objectif de cette recherche, déjà en phase d’élaboration avancée, est de mettre en relief un certain nombre de caractères et spécificités 48 MOHAMED MEOUAK relatifs aux territoires et aux modes de peuplement d’une région précise du Maghreb central, à savoir la partie occidentale du Hodna (en arabe Ḥuḍna). Ce travail se base essentiellement sur le dépouillement des principaux textes géographiques arabes du Moyen Âge mais il tient compte également de l’apport de quelques sources historiques et littéraires. Outre les genres textuels mentionnés, on mettra aussi à profit les productions bibliographiques anciennes et récentes sur les questions de géographie, de peuplement et de territoire. -
Thesis Submitted in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
JASON BLOCKLEY THE COLONATE IN AFRICA A LEGAL & ECONOMIC HISTORY OF COLONI IN LATE ANTIQUE AFRICA FACULTY OF ARTS AND SOCIAL SCIENCES THE UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY 2021 A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The Colonate in Africa iii Acknowledgements I express my deepest and sincerest appreciation for the innumerable people who helped make this thesis a reality. Firstly, I must thank Mr John Whitehouse, whose inestimable generosity and confidence made this project possible. Earning a doctorate in ancient history became a personal ambition soon after beginning my undergraduate studies, and I cannot properly express how grateful I am that I was entrusted with this opportunity. John not only provided the means for me to pursue this project; his personal insights, advice, and his own scholarship were vital in establishing, growing, and ultimately completing this study. John offered a scholarship in the hopes of perpetuating his love of ancient North Africa and the scholarship thereof, and I am pleased to say he has succeeded. Secondly, I must express my sincere gratitude to Mr Jeffrey Hilton and Ms Suzanne Coleman, whose remarkable generosity and enduring love of ancient Rome afforded me the opportunity to live and study at the British School at Rome for six months. It was at the British School that this study matured, and I cannot imagine how this project would have turned out without my sojourn in Rome. Thirdly, I am incredibly thankful to Prof Richard Miles, and to Dr Jelle Stoop, my supervisors without whom this project would not be possible. -
Gazetteer of Stone Quarries in the Roman World
Gazetteer of Stone Quarries in the Roman World Version 1.0 (2013) Hosted by the Oxford Roman Economy Project: www.romaneconomy.ox.ac.uk Ben Russell ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– The following gazetteer of quarrying sites includes all those quarries at which activity in the Roman period is proven or suspected; where the chronology is not clear this fact is noted in the description. Such a catalogue is clearly far from exhaustive. It does not include, for example, any newly identified quarries published in the most recent ASMOSIA volume, though it does include references in this volume to quarries already incorporated into the gazetteer are noted.1 In practice, every urban centre in the Roman Empire, in addition to many rural sites, had one or more local quarries from which they extracted the bulk of their stone. The majority of these local quarries, however, are unexplored and unpublished. There must be hundreds if not thousands of other quarries that have yet to be documented. The aim of this catalogue, therefore, is to draw attention to those quarries that are known about. It is not a complete record but it is hoped that it might form the basis for future research. In this sense it is intended to build on and update some of the existing broader surveys of Roman quarrying, like those produced by Dworakowska and Braemer.2 Where possible the sites are quarries that have been identified as ‘Roman’. In some cases, however, it has been necessary to include sites at which stone was obviously quarried in the Roman period even if no traces of this activity survive. -
