  • BOOK 11 the Time of the Emperor Trajan and the Third Calamity At
    BOOK 11 The Time of the EmperorTrajan and the Third Calamityat Antioch 1. (269) After the reign of Nerva, the most sacred Trajan reigned for 19 years and six months. He was tall , withered in body, dark skinned, with delicate features, short grey hair and deep set eyes. 2. Vntil the second year of his reign St John the apostle and theologian was seen teaching in Ephesos as bishop and patriarch. Then he withdrew himself from view and was no longer seen by anyone and no one knows to the present day what happened to him, as the most learned Africanus and Eirenaios have written, During the reign of Trajan, there was a great persecution of the Christians and many were punished with death. 3. In that year (270) Heerdotes, emperor of the Persians who was of Parthian descent and the brother of Osdroes, emperor of the Armenians, began a campaign and came with a large force to make war on the Roman state. Accompanied by his son Sanatroukios, he captured cities and plundered many districts, While he was plundering the district of Euphratesia, he was thrown off his horse as he was riding. He was badly injured and died a natural death. Whenon the point of death, he made his son Sanatroukios "Arsakes", that is, emperor, in his place; for in Persian "Torkim" is the translation for emperor. Sanatroukios, emperor of the Persians, continued to ravage Roman territory. When Osdroes, emperor of the Armenians and Meerdotes' brother, heard of his brother's death, he also immediately sent his son Parthemaspates out from Armenia with a large army to help his cousin Sanatroukios, emperor of the Persians, against the Romans.

  • Becoming Macedonian: Name Mapping and Ethnic Identity. the Case of Hephaistion*
    Karanos 3, 2020 11-37 Becoming Macedonian: Name Mapping and Ethnic Identity. The Case of Hephaistion* by Jeanne Reames University of Nebraska at Omaha [email protected] With the Digital Assistance of Jason Heppler and Cory Starman ABSTRACT An epigraphical survey (with digital mapping component) of Greece and Magna Graecia reveals a pattern as to where Hephais-based names appear, up through the second century BCE. Spelled with an /eta/, these names are almost exclusively Attic-Ionian, while Haphēs-based names, spelled with an alpha, are Doric-Aeolian, and much fewer in number. There is virtually no overlap, except at the Panhellenic site of Delphi, and in a few colonies around the Black Sea. Furthermore, cult for the god Hephaistos –long recognized as a non-Greek borrowing– was popular primarily in Attic-Ionian and “Pelasgian” regions, precisely the same areas where we find Hephais-root names. The only area where Haphēs-based names appear in any quantity, Boeotia, also had an important cult related to the god. Otherwise, Hephaistos was not a terribly important deity in Doric-Aeolian populations. This epigraphic (and religious) record calls into question the assumed Macedonian ethnicity of the king’s best friend and alter-ego, Hephaistion. According to Tataki, Macedonian naming patterns followed distinctively non-Attic patterns, and cult for the god Hephaistos is absent in Macedonia (outside Samothrace). A recently published 4th century curse tablet from Pydna could, however, provide a clue as to why a Macedonian Companion had such a uniquely Attic-Ionian name. If Hephaistion’s ancestry was not, in fact, ethnically Macedonian, this may offer us an interesting insight into fluidity of Macedonian identity under the monarchy, and thereby, to ancient conceptualizations of ethnicity more broadly.

  • A Model of Real Income Growth in Roman Italy
    Princeton/Stanford Working Papers in Classics A model of real income growth in Roman Italy Version 2.0 February 2007 Walter Scheidel Stanford University Abstract: This paper presents a new model of the main exogenous and endogenous determinants of real income growth in Italy in the last two centuries BC. I argue that war-related demographic attrition, emigration and the urban graveyard effect converged in constraining the growth of the freeborn population despite increased access to material resources that would otherwise have been conducive to demographic growth and concomitant depression of real incomes; that massive redistribution of financial resources from Roman elites and provincial subjects to large elements of the Italian commoner population in the terminal phase of the Republican period raised average household wealth and improved average well-being; and that despite serious uncertainties about the demographic and occupational distribution of such benefits, the evidence is consistent with the notion of rising real incomes in sub-elite strata of the Italian population. I conclude my presentation with a dynamic model of growth and decline in real income in Roman Italy followed by a brief look at comparable historical scenarios in early modern Europe. I hope to make it probable that due to a historically specific configuration of circumstances created by the mechanisms of Roman Republican politics and imperialism, the Italian heartland of the emerging empire witnessed temporary but ultimately unsustainable improvements in income and consumption levels well beyond elite circles. © Walter Scheidel. [email protected] 1 1. Argument Between the fourth and the first centuries BC, Rome grew from a small city-state in western central Italy into a pan-Mediterranean empire that came to control a territory of about four million square kilometers inhabited by up to one quarter of humanity.
