From India to the Black Sea : an overlooked trade route? (Slightly revised version with addenda) Abstract. Some Hellenistic sources and Pliny the Elder briefly describe a trade route linking the Pontic area and India. Eastern commodities were carried by various middlemen using both land and river routes. The Caspian Sea was even crossed. This existence of this itinerary, which is documented by too few texts and very little archaeological remains, has been called into question by some scholars. On the basis of several literary sources so far overlooked if not missed, I argue that the "northern road" played a continuous role in the so-called Indo-Mediterranean trade, along with the better known Indian Ocean routes. Was the Black Sea the ending point of a trade route from Central Asia? P.

The Way That Our Catullus Walked: Grammar and Poetry in the Late Republic Abstract This dissertation considers the poetry of Catullus and its often express concerns with matters of language through the lens of the Roman grammatical tradition. I argue that in Latin poetry, and in Latin literature more broadly, there existed a persistent interest in discussing linguistic matters--owing in large part to an early imitation of Greek authors who engaged openly with their language--and that this interest was articulated in ways that recall the figure of the professional grammaticus and the ars grammatica, the scientific study of the Latin language. I maintain that this interest becomes particularly widespread during the final decades of the Roman Republic, and so I present Catullus as a particularly representative example of this phenomenon. In each chapter I examine Catullus' poetry with reference to a different aspect of the grammaticus' trade. The first chapter considers the concept of latinitas, an idealized form of Latin that was discussed by professional grammatici, and coordinates Catullus' interaction with foreign words, morphology and phonology with similar approaches to the discussion of language as they are expressed by other poets and prose authors.

Pancirolli described a comparison of things lost (deperdita) and newly found (nova reperta) as a way to reckon the advantages of an age, just as merchants compute credits and debits. Drawing on Pancirolli, both Francis Bacon, Lord High Chancellor of England, and Jakob Bornitz, an advocate of the imperial treasury under Emperors Rudolf II and Matthias, formulated a third category of objects desired for the future. By publishing lists of lost and desired things, Bacon and Bornitz delineated public research objectives for the collaborative accumulation of beneficial knowledge. The histories of individual desiderata, such as universal language, immortality, and longitude, have been written, yet no study has traced the development of the idea of a collaborative research agenda, or the desiderata list, itself.1 1 Robert Stillman, The New Philosophy and Universal Languages in Seventeenth-century England: Bacon, Hobbes, and Wilkins (Lewisburg, Penn.: Bucknell University Press, 1995); and David Boyd Haycock, ‘‘Living Forever in Early Modern Europe: Sir Francis Bacon and the Project for Immortality,’’ in The Age of Projects, ed.

Cyril and Methodius University of Skopje, Skopje [email protected] Natio On the Roman Concept of The aim of this paper is to examineAbstract the Roman concept of natio: what did the ancient Romans mean by it, in what sense did they use the term and how does the ancient Roman concept of natio differ from the modern concept of nation? The study is based on a corpus of Latin texts that belong to different periods and different genres. The earliest usages date back to the third century BC and the latest ones to the late second century AD. The texts that form the main source of data derive from the so-called Ciceronian age of Latin literature (81–43 BC). The study shows that the Roman concept of natio differed in many respects from the modern concept of nation. For the Romans, natio was primarily a col- lective term for a tribal community of foreigners who were tied together by the place of birth, but who were not organized into a politically recognized entity. The term was also used pejoratively to denigrate communities of people derided for their common values, interests and activities, as well as a term which referred to the place of origin of a product.
