  • The Spear As the Symbol of Property and Power in Ancient Rome
    1216-2574 / USD 20.00 ACTA JURIDICA HUNGARICA © 2007 Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest 48, No 3, pp. 231–257 (2007) DOI: 10.1556/AJur.47.2007.3.2 TAMÁS NÓTÁRI* The Spear as the Symbol of Property and Power in Ancient Rome Abstract. In his well-known description of legis actio sacramento in rem, Gaius remarks that the rod was used in the procedure instead of the spear as the sign of lawful property since what the Romans considered truly their own was the goods taken from the enemy: ”Festuca autem utebantur quasi hastae loco, signo quodam iusti dominii; quod maxime sua esse credebant quae ex hostibus cepissent.” In harmony with Gaius’s view Verrius Festus states that the spear is the symbol, incarnation of supreme power: “Hasta summa armorum et imperii est.” Setting out from these two testimonia, in the present study we intend to examine the content of the hasta and the festuca as symbols of power to support the interpretation of the ritual of legis actio sacramento in rem as duellum sacrum. First, we shall give a brief account of the occurrences of the spear as the symbol of imperium, of subhastatio related thereto and the function of the supreme commander’s spear; also, we shall touch on the stick of augures and certain Greek prefigurations and parallels of the symbolic nature of the spear and the rod. (I.) After that, we shall make some statements concerning the spear of the god Mars and the Mars cult, and the relation of Quirinus and Quirites to the symbolism of the spear.

    THE SPEAR IN EARLY ANGLO-SAXON ENGLAND: A SOCIAL-TECHNOLOGICAL HISTORY By ANDREW JOHN WELTON A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2018 © 2018 Andrew John Welton To Rachel, and to our longsuffering cat. For five years they received less of my attention than they deserved, and each found little consolation in the other’s company. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS During the five years it took to research and write this dissertation, I received support, help, and friendship at every turn. For this, I feel deep gratitude. Many groups generously financed my research, and I offer each of them my thanks. A Mellon dissertation grant from the Council for Library and Information Resources funded a year of travel to UK museum and library collections. Support from many smaller grants funded shorter trips. These include the Medieval Academy of America’s Helen Maud Cam grant, alongside multiple awards from the University of Florida’s History Department, Rothman Endowment, Center for the Humanities and the Public Sphere, Graduate School, Office of Research, and History Graduate Society. My research and writing while resident in Florida was supplemented with additional fellowships from the Lilly Graduate Fellows Program and the University of Florida graduate school. Without this generous support, I would not have been able to see the objects about which I write, below. This dissertation, in short, would not exist. This research also could not exist without the assistance of the many library staff and museum curators who welcomed me to their spaces and facilitated my access to the materials in their collections.

    HISTORICAL EVOLUTION OF ROMAN ​ INFANTRY ARMS AND ARMOR 753 BC - 476 AD An Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE In partial fulfillment to the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By Evan Bossio Robert Chase Justin Dyer Stephanie Huang Marmik Patel Nathan Siegel Date: March 2, 2018 Submitted to: Professor Diana A. Lados Professor Luca Capogna Abstract During its time, the Roman Empire gained a formidable reputation as a result of its discipline and organization. The Roman Empire has made a lasting impact on the world due to its culture, political structure, and military might. The purpose of this project was to examine how the materials and processes used to create the weapons and armour helped to contribute to the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. This was done by analyzing how the Empire was able to successfully integrate new technologies and strategies from the regions the Empire conquered. The focus of this project is on the Empire's military, including the organization of the army, and the tactics and weapons used. To better understand the technology and innovations during this time the Roman long sword, spatha, was replicated and analyzed. 1 Acknowledgments The team would like to thank Professor Diana A. Lados and Professor Luca Capogna for this unique experience. The team would also like to thank Anthony Spangenberger for his guidance and time throughout the microstructure analysis. Lastly, this project could not have been done without Joshua Swalec, who offered his workshop, tools, and expertise throughout the manufacturing process 2 Table of Contents Abstract 1 Acknowledgments 2 Table of Contents 3 List of Figures 6 List of Tables 11 Authorship 12 1.

  • OVERCOMING the BARBARIAN. DEPICTIONS of ROME's ENEMIES in TRAJANIC MONUMENTAL ART by J.C.N
    OVERCOMING THE BARBARIAN. DEPICTIONS OF ROME'S ENEMIES IN TRAJANIC MONUMENTAL ART By J.C.N. COULSTON' Discourse on Roman imperialism has traditionally centred on a perspective finnly reflecting ancient elite sources, with the actions and motives of the Roman state being of paramount concern. Opponents to Roman ordering of the world, the 'neighbours' outside the empire, have generally taken second place in a hierarchy of scholarly priorities. This has been the case for a number of readily comprehensible reasons, not least of which is the symbiosis between Roman imperial studies and the past outlooks of researchers working against a contemporary imperial backdrop or in a post-colonial world still dominated by imperial 'consequences'. The priority of a Roman cultural gradient over both 'native' societies within the boundaries of the empire, and neighbouring groupings without, is striking and continues to be prominent in discourses on 'Romanisation'. Reference to the 'native background' in Roman provincial discussions before the 1990s, automatically both reinforced and perpetuated traditionalist models of culture change. Certainly there was 'Romanisation' whereby elements of Roman Mediterranean culture did have an impact on a great range of core and hinterland societies. Urban institutions and elite practices, religious mechanisms, language and the 'contact culture' of military systems undeniably spread - the 'benefits of civilisation' in the traditional view. However, it has less often been seriously asked how cultural contacts and the existence of empire reflected back on the dominant culture, how the barbarians changed Rome whilst they were being acculturated. Moreover, a conservative over-dependence on the ancient elite literary record to provide both framework and outlook for the treatment of other, mainly • The writer is very grateful to Lukas de Blois for his invitations to take part in the Impact ofEmpire conference in Rome and to contribute to the present volume.

I do not pretend to introduce the reader to an exhaustive and detailed history, but I attempt rather, in as concise a form as possible, to enumerate and describe all the principal weapons of war in such a way as to make the work of service to the wholly uninitiated. To further this object I have introduced plates of illustrations, accompanied by a description of each weapon contained in them. The subject of fire-arms has not been brought within the studied by itself; scope of this work ; it comprises a branch to be have and I have, therefore, ignored these weapons entu-ely.

    Acta Universitatis Lodziensis Folia Archaeologica 29/2012 Juliusz Tomczak Roman military equipment in the 4th century BC: pilum, scutum and the introduction of manipular tactics Keywords pilum scutum Słowa kluczowe pilum scutum : Roman warfare, , , manipular tactics : wojskowość starożytnego Rzymu, , , taktyka manewrowa W eapons and tactics of the Roman army in the era of the great- wars with Carthage, Macedonia and the Seleucid Empire, as well as in campaigns against the Celts and the tribes of Iberian Pen- insula, waged in the years 264–133 BC, are the subject of many publications. Earlier periods in the development of Roman weapons and fighting tech niques have been comparatively neglected. The main reason for this is the low reliability of literary sources (Small 2000, p. 230) and almost complete lack of archaeological finds, the context and dating of which can be linked with the army of Rome in the period of the Early Republic (Rawlings 2007, p. 54), as well as the scarcity of iconographic sources. However, this period was crucial for the emergence of a particular method of fighting of the army,- which was to conquer the whole Mediterranean world. The aim of this text- is to explain and interpret different types of sources and, as a result, to of fer a reconstruction of major elements in the evolution of weapons and tac tics of heavy infantry, which formed the backbone of the Roman army in the period when these changes occurred, with a special emphasisth placed on the- widespread use of oblong shield and heavy javelin in the 4 century BC.

Martin Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 201 9 APPROVED: Christopher J. Fuhrmann, Major Professor Walter Roberts, Co-Major Professor Guy Chet, Committee Member D. Keith Mitchener, Committee Member Reid Ferring, Committee Member Jennifer Jensen Wallach, Chair of the Department of History Tamara L. Brown, Executive Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Martin, Ian A. Origins of Roman Infantry Equpiment: Innovation and Celtic Influence. Doctor of Philosophy (History), December 2019, 276 pp., 1 table, 35 figures, 1 appendix, bibliography, 23 ancient sources, 176 secondary sources. The Romans were known for taking technology and advancements from other peoples they encountered and making them their own. This pattern holds true in military affairs; indeed, little of the Roman military was indigenously developed. This dissertation looks at the origins of the Roman’s mainline weapons systems from the beginning of Roman Republic expansion in the fourth century BC to the abandonment of Western-style armaments in favor of Eastern style ones beginning in the late-third century AD. This dissertation determines that the Romans during that time relied predominately on the Celtic peoples of Europe for the majority of their military equipment. One arrives at this conclusion by examining at the origins of the major weapons groups: armor, shields, spears, swords, and missile weapons. This determination is based on the use of ancient written sources, artistic sources, and archaeological sources. It also uses the large body of modern scholarship on the individual weapons.
