226 GAUL Mogontiacunt? (Capital of Germania Superior; modern Mainz.) CIL, 13: 11834, is a Third-Century inscription containing the words "innocenti spirito," perhaps indicative of Christianity. Bishop Martin's name is found in the list for the so-called Council of Cologne in 346; see Concilia Galliae, 27. He is possibly to be identified with the Gallic bishop Martin who attended the Council of Serdica in 343 but whose see is unidentified; Athanasius, Apologia contra Arianos, 49.1.

Clark David Johnson Department of Anthropology Brigham Young University December 2014 Copyright © 2014 Jessica Colleen Kramer All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The Roman Riders: Ethnicity and Iconography on Roman Cavalryman Tombstones Jessica Colleen Kramer Department of Anthropology, BYU Master of Arts The funerary grave stelae of the Roman cavalrymen are large, impressive monuments set apart from their military counterparts by the ornate relief carvings which they exhibit. The two most common motifs featured on these tombstones are the rider relief motifs and the totenmahl motifs. Aspects of both the reliefs and the inscribed epitaphs are distinctly characteristic of the Roman military. Throughout the history of the Roman Empire, men in the auxiliary cavalry units were recruited from non-Roman allied tribes.

This negative perception of Germania – the modern Netherlands and Germany – lay behind the reluctance of Rome’s great military commanders to tame its immense wilderness. Caius Iulius Caesar famously threw a wooden pontoon bridge across the River Rhine (Rhenus) in just ten days, not once but twice, in 55 and 53 bc. The next Roman general to do so was Marcus Agrippa, in 39/38 bc or 19/18 bc. However, none of these missions was for conquest, but in response to pleas for assistance from an ally of the Romans, the Germanic nation of the Ubii. It was not until the reign of Caesar Augustus that a serious attempt was made to annex the land beyond the wide river and transform it into a province fit for Romans to live in.

Finding Roman Brickyards in Germania Superior by Model-Based Cluster Analysis of Archaeometric Data
360 Layers of Perception – CAA 2007 Hans-Joachim Mucha – Hans-Georg Bartel – Jens Dolata Finding Roman Brickyards in Germania Superior by Model-Based Cluster Analysis of Archaeometric Data Abstract: Chemical analysis of ancient ceramics and of other archaeologically important materials has been used frequently to support archaeological research. Often the dimensionality of the measurements has been high. Therefore, multivariate statistical techniques such as cluster analysis have to be applied. The aim of the present paper is to give a review of the research on bricks and tiles from Roman military brick- yards in Germania Superior and to present the main results obtained by multivariate statistical analysis. In particular, new adaptive cluster analysis methods and modified model-based clustering are applied on archaeometric data (MUCHA / BA R TEL / DOLATA 2002; 2003a; 2005b; in press; BA R TEL / DOLATA / MUCHA 2000; 2003). The main result was the discovery of military brickyards that were not known when the project began about ten years ago. Recently, they have been discovered by the application of these multivariate sta- tistical analysis models. Newly developed visualization methods support and facilitate the interpretation of both the data set and the results of grouping. This means archaeologists can easily identify a new finding of a Roman brick or tile by comparing its chemical fingerprint with those from the detected provenances. Introduction period of operation was from the middle of the first century AD until the end of the fourth century. About 1000 Roman stamped bricks and tiles from Archaeologists are most interested in the location the Upper Rhine area were the objects under of brickyards and in the chronology of the pro- investigation by methods of chemical and statisti- duction-marks, which are found on the building- cal analysis.

The Rhine Provinces
CHAPTER FOUR THE RHINE PROVINCES Germania superior and inferior 1) Short Historical Survey Caesar's campaigns in Gaul, apart from population displacements and decimations, resulted in a transfer of the Roman border to the Rhine (Rhenus). Augustus tried to extend the German frontier from the Rhine to the Elbe (Albus) but Drusus' death in 9 BCE temporarily stopped the advance. Then Augustus sent Tiberius to secure Germania for Rome and in 4 CE the area between the Rhine, the Elbe, the North Sea and the European highlands (Erzgebirge) was thought a province in the phase of occupation1• Arminius' devast ating strike against the Romans in 9 CE brought about the elimina tion of three legions, six auxiliary cohorts, and three alae under the command of P. Quinctilius Varus2• It depleted Roman combat effec tiveness but did not break the Roman willingness to venture further into the area west of the Rhine. Drusus' son Germanicus set out against the various Germanic tribes in 14 and 15 CE. Again, Arminius inflicted heavy losses on the Romans. Germanicus' offensive in 16 CE was more successful. He defeated his German nemesis, Arminius, twice, but the Roman fleet, with which the Roman troops were transported from the Lower Rhine to the operational area, suffered considerable storm damage on its return. At this point, the emperor Tiberius recalled Germanicus, stopped the campaign and with it, the Augustan policy of conquesr. Germanicus received a triumph (the Roman equivalent of declaring victory and pulling out) and was sent to take care of the eastern provinces for which he was granted an imperium maius.

British Emigrants in the Roman Empire: Complexities and Symbols of Ethnic Identities Tatiana Ivleva Introduction Diaspora and migration studies, especially those with a focus on ethnic identity issues, are popular topics in archaeological research. In recent decades publications have appeared in the UK concerning the presence of migrants of various origins in Roman Britain (Clay 2007; Swan 2009; Eckardt 2010; Leach et al. 2010). The theme of the presence of foreigners in the various provinces of the Roman Empire is not new in archaeological and historical research; numerous publications have appeared over the past decades (e.g. Fitz 1972; Dietz and Weber 1982; Wierschowski 2001; Kakoschke 2002, 2004; Oltean 2009).

ROBERT NOUWEN ATUATUCA TUNGRORUM, THE FIRST KNOWN MUNICIPIUM OF GALLIA BELGICA? aus: Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik 115 (1997) 278–280 © Dr. Rudolf Habelt GmbH, Bonn 278 ATUATUCA TUNGRORUM, THE FIRST KNOWN MUNICIPIUM OF GALLIA BELGICA? In 1990 a Roman votive altar was found near Rodekruislaan (parcel Section D, 211 p. 6) in Tongeren. It is of particular significance to the history of the civitas Tungrorum and its capital Atuatuca1. In the first place, this altar, devoted to I(uppiter) O(ptimus) M(aximus) and the Genius of the mun(icipium) Tung(rorum), is important because of its mentioning Atuatuca as municipium Tungrorum. Secondly, the discovery of this votive altar offers the chance to examine whether a more convincing argumentation can be formulated with regard to the assignment of the civitas Tungrorum to Gallia Belgica or Germania Inferior. The text of the newly discovered inscription runs as follows. I(ovi) O(ptimo) M(aximo) / et Genio / Mun(icipii) Tung(rorum) / Cat(ius?) Drousus / sal(arius, -inator, -samentarius) Men(apiorum) / v(otum) s(olvit) l(ibens) m(erito). The monument appears to date from the 2nd half of the 2nd century or maybe from the beginning of the 3rd century. W. Vanvinckenroye and M.-Th. Raepsaet-Charlier have written a detailed comment. Until recently there have not been any direct indications of the municipal statute of Atuatuca. So far, the statute of the town has not been mentioned in any source. But there were enough reasons to accept that Atuatuca was more than a vicus and that it had the statute of a municipium.

The Romanisation of the Civitas Vangionum by RALPH HÄUSSLER* INTRODUCTION With the arrival of the Romans in Northern Gaul, the effects of Romanisation can almost immediately be detected in what was to become the Northern Provinces which include the territory of the Vangiones under consideration here. The typical remains of Roman culture – well known from the Mediterranean world – now appear in large quantities; for example, we find Latin epigraphy and Roman-style pottery, especially terra sigillata, and also roads, and architecture incorporating Roman building techniques. The few typical artefacts of pre- Roman culture are often dated to pre-Roman times (i.e. La Tène DT1) because of difficulties of dating non-Romanized sites into the Roman period. In addition, there seem to be hardly any archaeological contexts where La Tène and Roman artefacts are found together.2 Only in certain periods of German historiography,3 when a German(ic) omnipresence was being stressed for nationalistic reasons, was the Roman era described as a time of occupation with an emphasis on the continuity and resistance of the Germanic tribes.

Reconstruction of Roman Roads and Boundaries in Southern Germany
Reconstruction of Roman Roads and Boundaries in Southern Germany IRMELA HERZOG , The Rhineland Commission for Archaeological Monuments and Sites, Bonn, Germany SANDRA SCHRÖER, Freiburg University, LIMITES inter provincias, Germany The initial aim of this project was to test, if boundaries of the Roman administration units in a large part of southern Germany could be approached mathematically based on known central locations and least-cost Thiessen polygon calculations. The boundaries derived from SRTM elevation data by applying the popular Tobler cost function roughly coincide with those of standard Thiessen polygons even in hilly regions. These results do not change significantly when choosing a slope-dependent cost function for vehicles rather than for pedestrians. For this reason, we decided to investigate the issue more thoroughly in a small part of the study area. For this area, we mapped some traditional road reconstructions of Roman roads. The known Roman roads allow estimating the costs of movement during Roman times in this part of Germany, i.e. for several cost models, least-cost paths (LCP) were compared with the routes of the known Roman roads. Based on the best performing cost model, accessibility maps were created. Linear features of low accessibility in these maps indicate possible locations of past or present boundaries because the boundaries are often aligned with topographical elements such as steep slopes or rivers. Some issues detected in the course of this research will be discussed, e.g. the difficulties of attributing appropriate costs for crossing the rivers and creeks based on the available data on modern water bodies and the drawbacks of least-cost Thiessen polygon approaches.

Reviewed by Marc Pierce (Department of Germanic Studies, University of Texas at Austin) Published on H-German (February, 2009) Commissioned by Susan R. Boettcher Two Perspectives on Religion in Germania Pre-Christian Germanic religion, the impact of Christianity on the Germanic peoples, and the synthesis of Christianity with Roman religion and/or Germanic religion have long been popular objects of study among medievalists and scholars of religious studies.[1] The two volumes under consideration here address very different aspects of these issues, and both are useful additions to the relevant literature. The first stems from a conference on the Christianization of the Alemanni held in Stuttgart- Hohenheim in conjunction with a 1997 exhibit, "Die Alemannen," at the Archäologisches Landesmuseum in Stuttgart. The participants in the conference came from a number of different fields, including archaeology, history, and philology, and the welcome result is a number of interesting papers from various theoretical perspectives. After a brief preface by the editors, the thematic section of the volume opens with Wilfried Hartmann's "Die Eigenkirche: Grundelement der Kirchenstruktur bei den Alemannen?" Hartmann sifts through early texts on canon law and early deeds of gift to see what they reveal about "das Aussehen der Kirchenorganisation in Alemannien" (p.
