    Georgy Kantor Lycia et Pamphylia: A Social and Institutional History The project which I am proposing to undertake is a social and institutional history of the Roman province of Lycia and Pamphylia, from the process of establishment of Roman rule in the region in the late Republic and the Julio-Claudian period to the coming of Christianity and the separation of the constituent parts of the province in the early fourth century AD. The project aims at utilising different kinds of evidence – documentary, archaeological, numismatic, literary. Several factors combine to make such a study worthwhile. The isolated nature of the region, separated as it is by mountain ranges from the rest of Anatolia, and the fact that, with a very brief interruption, it has been a single administrative unit for more than two centuries, from the principate of Claudius to at least AD 312, allow us to treat it as a meaningful object of regional history. But below this unity there were striking distinctions between its different parts. In the course of my doctoral work on Roman and local law in the provinces of Asia Minor, I have found preliminary evidence to indicate that the ways in which Pamphylia and Lycia were governed by Rome were different in many crucial aspects. My project will thus provide an opportunity to study two models of Roman rule within one province, and it is at this level that we can best understand how Roman imperial structures worked and contribute to the ongoing discussion (re-opened by recent works of S. Dmitriev and C.

    JAKOB MUNK HØJTE IMPERIAL VISITS AS OCCASION FOR THE ERECTION OF PORTRAIT STATUES? aus: Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik 133 (2000) 221–235 © Dr. Rudolf Habelt GmbH, Bonn 221 IMPERIAL VISITS AS OCCASION FOR THE ERECTION OF PORTRAIT STATUES? In studies of portraits of Roman emperors, little attention is generally paid to the question of when and why portrait statues were erected. Rather, the main objective is to determine the date of the original or “Urbild” for each portrait type from which subsequent images were reproduced and distributed through- out the empire. Whenever the practical aspects concerning the erection of imperial statues are discussed occasions directly related to the emperor, accession to the throne, military victories, jubilees, the holding of magistracies, marriage and important events in the life of a designated heir, figure among the most frequently cited.1 In addition, imperial visits in cities around the empire have been seen as the most obvious moment for a city to show its loyalty towards the emperor by setting up his image. Imperial statues were sometimes erected when emperors visited a city, but the extent to which this practice was followed has never been fully investigated. Nevertheless the assumption has influenced the interpreta- tion of imperial portraits, most notably those of Hadrian, who shared his time almost equally between Rome and the provinces. Hadrian’s travelling activities have been thought to have had an effect on the general output of portrait statues as stated in a recent handbook on Roman sculpture: “There are more surviving portraits of Hadrian than of any other emperor besides Augustus.

  • Epigraphic Evidence for Boundary Disputes in the Roman Empire
    EPIGRAPHIC EVIDENCE FOR BOUNDARY DISPUTES IN THE ROMAN EMPIRE by Thomas Elliott A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2004 Approved by _____________________________________ Advisor: Professor Richard Talbert _____________________________________ Reader: Professor Jerzy Linderski _____________________________________ Reader: Professor Mary Boatwright _____________________________________ Reader: Professor George Houston _____________________________________ Reader: Professor Melissa Bullard ii This page intentionally left blank. iii © 2004 Thomas Elliott ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iv This page intentionally left blank. v ABSTRACT THOMAS ELLIOTT: Epigraphic Evidence for Boundary Disputes in the Roman Empire (Under the direction of Richard Talbert) This dissertation presents all published Greek and Latin epigraphic documents relating to internal boundary disputes of the Roman empire. In date, it spans the period from 2 BC to the third century AD. Spatially, the documents derive from 12 provinces ( Achaia, Africa, Asia, Baetica, Cilicia, Creta et Cyrene, Dalmatia, Iudaea, Lusitania, Macedonia, Moesia and Syria ), plus Italy. The presentation of each includes a text, English translation, bibliography and commentary. Analytical chapters expand upon recent published work by G. Burton and B. Campbell. Terminological analysis permits classification of epigraphic and literary evidence into five categories: boundary disputes, restoration of public and sacred lands, other land disputes, the assignment of boundaries and other authoritative demarcations involving Roman officials. The analysis also provides a more focused definition of several Latin and Greek words that indicate the delivery of a verdict by a Roman official ( decretum, sententia, iudicium, ἀποφάσις, κρίσις, ἐπικρίμα ).

TRAJAN, THE ANTONINES, AND THE GOVERNOR’S STAFF aus: Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik 116 (1997) 273–283 © Dr. Rudolf Habelt GmbH, Bonn 273 TRAJAN, THE ANTONINES, AND THE GOVERNOR’S STAFF1 Since the late nineteenth century, scholars have succeeded in mapping the general outlines of the elabo- rately structured third-century Roman governor’s staff, the officium consularis. Recent work has even begun to clarify its complex workings.2 But the third-century officium did not appear ex nihilo. It re- sulted from a long evolutionary process, the beginnings of which lie far back in the early decades of the Principate. While a great deal is known about the mature officium, very little is known about its evolu- tion, for although hundreds of inscriptions document the inner workings of the officium in the third century as well as the personnel assigned to it, very little information survives illuminating the earlier stages of its development.

  • Iulius Tarius Titianus, Proconsul of Lycia Et Pamphylia
    GEPHYRA 8 2011 125–128 Nuray GÖKALP Iulius Tarius Titianus, proconsul of Lycia et Pamphylia Abstract: The inscription presented here was found in a quarter of Antalya and contains an honorary decree for Iulius Tarius Titianus. The honorand is called proconsul of the province Lycia et Pamphylia. As proconsul he is also mentioned in an inscription from Takina, where a bath was constructed during his governership ca. 202‒205 A.D. An unsolved problem was to which of the provinces – Asia or Lycia et Pamphylia – Takina belonged. From the new text we can now be sure that in the Severan Period Takina stood under the control of the proconsul of Lycia et Pamphylia. Keywords: Attaleia; Lycia–Pamphylia; honorary decree; proconsul; prosopography. This profiled but otherwise undecorated limestone base was found in Antalya in the front garden of a building called Ege, in Gençlik Quarter, 19 Mayıs Road, 1403rd Street, in autumn 2011. The base was fastened with cement into the ground, and had been standing there for over sixty years. The upper part of the stone is hollowed out for a second use of the stone as a mortar. The left side of the stone is damaged. The inscription begins just below the moulding, fills the whole front shaft of the stone and consists of five lines. The letters are carefully ornamented, well ordered and clearly legible. Dimensions: Upper profile: H: 0.59 m; W: 0.66 m; D: 0.70 m; Shaft: H: 0.54 m; Letters: H: 0.03– 0.05 m. Characteristic letters: , , , . Date: The beginning of the 3rd century A.D., during the reign of Septimius Severus.

  • Why Did Claudius Annex Lycia?
    ADALYA XIV, 2011 Why did Claudius Annex Lycia? Julian BENNETT* Introduction Generally speaking, the available ancient sources provide us with very little clue as to exactly what motivated individual Roman emperors to annex fresh territories and make them a part of Rome’s imperium. Thus the question as to why a particular region was appropriated by one of other emperor is more often than not a matter of speculation on the part of modern scholars, relying as they have to on individual interpretation of a somewhat limited ‘data-set’ rather than a concise series of clear-cut ‘facts’. This is not, or so it might seem at first sight, the case with the annexation of Lycia by Claudius in AD 43. The two ancient sources on the matter directly report that a state of ‘discord’ or ‘civic unrest’ motivated the decision to take control of a territory that had long been a compliant client state and firm ally of Rome1. Absolute belief in this ‘fact’ has a long history2, and is also the basic conclusion of the most recent discussion of the annexation of Lycia, as provided by Sencer Şahin and Mustafa Adak in their magisterial Stadiasmus Patarensis3. Indeed, these authors begin their analysis of the matter with the terse heading ‘Politische Instabilität auf der lykischen Halbinsel als wesentliches Motiv der Annexation’4. True, they do make a series of cursory remarks on other motives advanced by earlier scholars in connection with the annexation of the territory - the craving on the part of Claudius for ‘imperial glory’, best achieved through territorial expansion5; a desire on his part to extend his personal patronage;6 and perhaps even ‘fiscal advantages’7.

Although there were emperors who tried to reform the state, none of them could reign long enough, since they were targets of usurpers and their assassins.
