The settlements from this region, alike those from the Pannonian Plain experienced a period of prosperity, reflected by the wealth of the ceramic material on which the post-Cerneahov influences are to be noticed, most evident on the technology of pottery production, their morphology and decoration. Although cemeteries with numerous graves are characteristic of D1 stage, so far in Banat none had been exhaustively investigated. In the cemeteries from this period new elements of ritual and funerary furniture of Eastern origin are to be noticed. During the D2 stage one can observe a restriction of the dwelling area in Banat, as compared with the previous stage (D1). The artifacts come mostly from graves found by chance in the 19th century. Only the cemetery at Timişoara – Freidorf had been systematically investigated between 1988 and 2006. Finding of lavish pieces in Banat (in the graves from Izvin and Periam and also in the grave? with gold coins from Denta) indicates the presence of a tribal elite revolving around a Hun powerhouse, located most probably in the region west of the confluence of Mures and Tisa rivers. A less intensive dwelling is to be noticed for the D3 stage, when Banat fell under the domination of the Gepidic Kingdom, only two discoveries being archaeologically certified so far. Cuvinte-cheie: migraţii timpurii, cronologie, aşezări, cimitire, tezaur monetar Rezumat: În etapa D1 a epocii timpurii a migraţiilor, Câmpia Banatului a fost intens locuită. Aşezările din această regiune, la fel ca cele din Câmpia Panonică, au cunoscut o perioadă de prosperitate, reflectată de bogăţia materialului ceramic la care se observă influenţele post-cerneahoviene, mai evidente în privinţa tehnicii de producere a vaselor, precum şi a morfologiei şi a decorului acestora. Deşi etapei D1 îi sunt caracteristice cimitirele cu morminte numeroase, până în prezent, în Banat, nu a fost cercetat nici unul exhaustiv. În cimitirele din această perioadă apar elemente noi de ritual şi de mobilier funerar, de origine răsăriteană. În etapa D2 se observă o restrângere a ariei de locuire în Banat, comparativ cu etapa precedentă - D1. Artefactele provin mai ales din morminte găsite întâmplător în secolul XIX, doar cimitirul de la Timişoara – Freidorf a fost cercetat sistematic, între anii 1988-2006. Descoperirile de piese fastuoase din Banat (mormintele de la Izvin şi Periam, mormântul? cu monede din aur de la Denta) indică prezenţa unei elite tribale care gravita în jurul unui centru de putere hunic, situat cel mai probabil în regiunea de la vest de confluenţa Mureşului cu Tisa. O locuire puţin intensă se constată şi în etapa D3, când Banatul intră sub dominaţia regatului gepid, fiind atestate arheologic până în prezent doar două descoperiri. Archaeological evidence points that starting with the last third of the 4th century AD in nowadays Banat emerged the first archaeological reflexes of an era that will lead to important changes in the political, social and economic, but also in the ethnic structure of vast territories and will foreshadow the map of Medieval Europe: the migration epoch. For the migrations period, one of the most controversial and at the same time fascinating period in European history in the first millennium AD, as written information is contradictory, the main course of investigation is archaeological research. Based on the interpretation of archaeological sources, I shall try to * This study represents a synthesis of the works published in 2013 (Tănase 2013a and 2013b), with subsequent additions and conclusions. ** Muzeul Banatului din Timişoara; [email protected].

  • Jordanes and the Invention of Roman-Gothic History Dissertation

    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.

Dark Age Horse Archers by Rick Lippiett During the Dark Ages Central Eurasia and Central Europe underwent a series of complicated, and seemingly endless migrations, invasions, conquests, reconquests and occupations. This was in contrast to Greater Persia which enjoyed some relative stability for 400 years under the Sassanid Empire (which had fairly seamlessly replaced the Parthian Empire).

    Vo The Migration Period, also called the Barbarian Invasions or German: Völkerwanderung (wandering of the peoples), was a period of human migration that occurred roughly between 300 to 700AD in Europe, marking the transition from Late Antiquity to the Early Middle Ages. These movements were catalysed by profound changes within both the Roman Empire and the so-called lkerwanderung 'barbarian frontier'. Migrating peoples during this period included the Huns, Goths, Vandals, Bulgars, Alans, Suevi, Frisians and Franks, among other Germanic and Slavic tribes. The migration movement may be divided into two phases: The first phase, between 300 and 500AD, put Germanic peoples in control of most areas of the former Western Roman Empire. The first to formally enter Roman territory — as refugees from the Huns — were the Visigoths in 376. Tolerated by the Romans on condition that they defend the Danube frontier, they rebelled, eventually invading Italy and sacking Rome itself in 410AD, before settling in Iberia and founding a kingdom there that endured 300 years. They were followed into Roman territory by the Ostrogoths led by Theodoric the Great, who settled in Italy itself. In Gaul, the Franks, a fusion of western Germanic tribes whose leaders had been strongly aligned with Rome, entered Roman lands more gradually and peacefully during the 5th century, and were generally accepted as rulers by the Romano-Gallic population. Fending off challenges from the Allamanni, Burgundians and Visigoths, the Frankish kingdom became the nucleus of the future states of France and Germany. Meanwhile, Roman Britain was more slowly invaded and settled by Angles and Saxons.

Vegard The Institute for Human Studies University of Bergen May 2020 Page !1 of !119 «Attila was lord over all the Huns and almost the sole earthly ruler of all the tribes of Scythia; a man marvellous for his glorious fame among all nations.» (Getica, XXXIV, 178) Page !2 of !119 Sammendrag. I denne oppgaven har jeg studert Hunerne og deres undersåtter i lys av de forskjellige nettverkene av sosial makt som oppstod da Huner-Imperiet hadde sin storhetstid i en kort, men hektisk periode i sen-antikken. Hunernes forhold til Romerne har fått mye oppmerksomhet, men få ressurser har blitt dedikert til undersåttene deres og de sosiale nettverkene som oppstod mellom de og Hunerne. Derfor er denne oppgaven en original studie av et felt om Hunerne som ikke har blitt utført før. Jeg har brukt Max Weber sine teorier om legitime politiske styresystemer, som er inndelt i Legal Autoritet, Tradisjonell Autoritet, og Karismatisk Autoritet. Den siste er hovedfokuset, men det har og vist seg at Tradisjonell Autoritet var gjeldende. Teoriene om vold i nettverk og samfunn av Douglass North har fungert som en bro mellom Max Weber og Michael Mann. I oppgaven har jeg hovedsakelig brukt de sosiale teoriene til Michael Mann, der jeg har analysert Hunerne og undersåttene gjennom IEMP-modellen hans. Dermed er oppgaven delt inn i fire kapitler, med en konklusjon for hvert av de: I Ideologi har jeg først og fremst sett på felles religion og oppførsel, men også dedikert ressurser til studie av gruppe-identitet og etnisitet.

    The Western World Was Saved at the Battle of Chalons, 451 AD by Walter S

    The Western World was saved at the Battle of Chalons, 451 AD By Walter S. Zapotoczny The Battle of Chalons, also called the Battle of the Catalaunian Fields or the Battle of the Catalun, is considered by many historians as one of the most significant battles in history. It occurred in 451 AD somewhere in the western part of present-day France. Edward Creasy in his book Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World states: “…the battle not only rescued for a time from destruction the old age of Rome, but preserved for centuries of power and glory the Germanic element in the civilization of modern Europe.” The clash at Chalons was a monumental conflict. It pitted two of the towering figures of Late Antiquity, the fierce Attila the Hun, and the noble Roman Flavius Aetius against each other. If Flavius had not been successful in holding back the Hun invasion, the whole course of Western history might have been changed. The Huns were fearsome nomadic horsemen from the steppes of Central Asia. They originated as tribes who routinely raided and pillaged their neighbors, and each other. The Huns were wanderers, who did not understand the concept of civilization or agriculture. In order to survive, they moved in small groups over large areas from grazing ground to grazing ground. They often blindly plundered and destroyed everything. The barbarians not only ruined countless cities and villages of Central Asia, they also stripped the steppe land itself. They uprooted trees and bushes for firewood, which promoted drift-sand. For undetermined generations their herds and flocks of cattle, horses, goats, and sheep were driven over the steppes of central and southern Siberia.
