Riggsby This paper examines the cultural information of epigraphic choices within military communities of Roman Dacia and engages with the private behaviors of members of the military and their families in the ancient world. A case study on votive inscriptions dedicated by members of the military supports this paper’s primary interest in dedicants of military epitaphs. Actions taken by soldiers, veterans, and their families present in votive inscriptions and epitaphs alike as individual and collective decisions intentionally made to communicate private behavior to the audience. At the same time, they situate themselves in the broader epigraphic trends of the Roman Empire, albeit in unique ways. While both inscription types demonstrate individual reaction to societal norms, the epitaphs studied contain a notable absence in single-woman dedicants and an associated prevalence of situating both the deceased and the dedicants in identifiable social roles. The concern for societal status and selF-identification emphasizes the significance of public expression of private behavior, as well as issues of legality and community response in the aftermath of death. Votive inscriptions and military epitaphs alike feature a prioritization of military vi identity among military communities in Roman Dacia at the expense of individualized choices regarding the self that are publicly communicated. vii Table of Contents List of Tables ...................................................................................................................... x List of Figures .................................................................................................................... xi I: INTRODUCTION ............................................................................................................... 1 II: THE CONQUEST OF DACIA ............................................................................................ 4 Mapping Dacia ........................................................................................................... 5 Identifying the Dacians in Literature ......................................................................... 6 The Colonization of Dacia ......................................................................................... 7 III: PROVINCIAL REALITIES ........................................................................................... 11 IV: MONUMENTAL VICTORY .......................................................................................... 14 Adamclisi ................................................................................................................. 14 V: EPIGRAPHY IN ROMAN DACIA ................................................................................... 17 Votive Offerings: A Case Study of Băile Herculane, jud.

Introduction The Roman conquest and occupation of Dacia is unique in its brevity and intensity of militarization. These qualities, particularly when structured along lines of nationalism and nation building, remain a popular focus in scholarship and have popularized the identification of Roman troop placement in Dacia. The region is indeed rich in its capacity to inform research on cultural and political formation in the provinces at the height of Roman imperialism as it contains an abundance of material and epigraphic culture within the boundaries of Trajan’s Dacia and its subsequent iterations until Gallienus and Aurelian. Dacia’s position on the Danube as a buffer zone remained militarized throughout its brief existence as a province, which, combined with its wealth of natural resources, invited waves of migration that changed the social landscape of the province. The military in Roman Dacia continues to be of great interest because it is peopled by Romans and non-Romans, provincial and otherwise, who bring with them religious and social practices that complicate any simple reading of Roman imperialism in the province. The focus on the military engages most readily with the placement of various units in forts and in settlements throughout Roman Dacia, and it is in this same scholarly trend that a consideration of military families arises. In order to understand more closely the behaviors of occupying military forces and their interactions with the land and people around them, this paper examines the actions taken by soldiers, veterans, and their families, because they illuminate the lived reality of Roman Dacia’s military community. In particular, epigraphy provides a multivalent perspective on private behaviors enacted by individuals and families that taken part in, or react against, larger traditions of Roman inscriptional practices. It becomes increasingly evident that, even within the expression of personal nuances, there remains a preferred method of putting forth information about the self on a public platform like votive dedications and epitaphs. Attention paid to the discrepancies in dedicatory practices, particularly those not traditionally considered when discussing Roman military life, reveals nuances in individual and community behavior that, in their complexities and simplicities, demonstrate a reality of living in an ever-changing provincial world. This paper examines two case studies, one focused on the private behavior of soldiers and veterans, and the other interested in military families and familial obligations. The first looks to Băile Herculane, thermal springs associated with Hercules, and considers individual religious practices of members of the military. The second concerns itself with those who dedicate funerary epitaphs and focuses on sites in the county of Caraș-Severin, same region as Băile Herculane, as juxtaposed exempla of behavior in military communities. Together, the two case studies provide a view of military life outside of the military, albeit with a constant mindfulness of military status in each. The votive altars of Băile

  • Domitian's Dacian War Domitian'in Daçya Savaşi
    2020, Yıl 4, Sayı 13, 75 - 102 DOMITIAN’S DACIAN WAR DOMITIAN’IN DAÇYA SAVAŞI DOI: 10.33404/anasay.714329 Çalışma Türü: Araştırma Makalesi / Research Article1 Gökhan TEKİR* ABSTRACT Domitian, who was one of the most vilified Roman emperors, had suf- fered damnatio memoriae by the senate after his assassination in 96. Senator historians Tacitus and Cassius Dio ignored and criticized many of Domitian’s accomplishments, including the Dacian campaign. Despite initial setbacks in 86 and 87, Domitian managed to push the invading Dacians into the Dacian terri- tory and even approached to the Dacian capital in 88. However, the Saturninus revolt and instability in the Chatti and Pannonia in 89 prevented Domitian from concluding the campaign. The peace treaty stopped the Dacian incursions and made Dacia a dependent state. It is consistent with Domitian’s non-expansionist imperial policy. This peace treaty stabilized a hostile area and turned Dacia a client kingdom. After dealing with various threats, he strengthened the auxiliary forces in Dacia, stabilizing the Dacian frontier. Domitian’s these new endeavors opened the way of the area’s total subjugation by Trajan in 106.

  • Resettlement Into Roman Territory Across the Rhine and the Danube Under the Early Empire (To the Marcomannic Wars)*
    Eos C 2013 / fasciculus extra ordinem editus electronicus ISSN 0012-7825 RESETTLEMENT INTO ROMAN TERRITORY ACROSS THE RHINE AND THE DANUBE UNDER THE EARLY EMPIRE (TO THE MARCOMANNIC WARS)* By LESZEK MROZEWICZ The purpose of this paper is to investigate the resettling of tribes from across the Rhine and the Danube onto their Roman side as part of the Roman limes policy, an important factor making the frontier easier to defend and one way of treating the population settled in the vicinity of the Empire’s borders. The temporal framework set in the title follows from both the state of preser- vation of sources attesting resettling operations as regards the first two hundred years of the Empire, the turn of the eras and the time of the Marcomannic Wars, and from the stark difference in the nature of those resettlements between the times of the Julio-Claudian emperors on the one hand, and of Marcus Aurelius on the other. Such, too, is the thesis of the article: that the resettlements of the period of the Marcomannic Wars were a sign heralding the resettlements that would come in late antiquity1, forced by peoples pressing against the river line, and eventu- ally taking place completely out of Rome’s control. Under the Julio-Claudian dynasty, on the other hand, the Romans were in total control of the situation and transferring whole tribes into the territory of the Empire was symptomatic of their active border policies. There is one more reason to list, compare and analyse Roman resettlement operations: for the early Empire period, the literature on the subject is very much dominated by studies into individual tribe transfers, and works whose range en- * Originally published in Polish in “Eos” LXXV 1987, fasc.

There are no heights here over 300 metres and most of the land rises no higher than 100 metres. But there is considerable variety in relief and soil conditions. Several areas, like the Lüneburg Heath and the hills of Schleswig-Holstein, are diverse in both relief and landscape. There was until recent times a good deal of marshy ground in the northern parts of the great plain, and a broad belt of coastal marshland girds it on its northern flank. Several major rivers drain the plain, the Ems, Weser and Elbe flowing into the North Sea, the Oder and the Vistula into the Baltic. Their broad valleys offered attrac- tive areas for early settlement, as well as corridors of communication from south to north. The surface deposits on the lowland largely result from successive periods of glaciation. A major influence on relief are the ground moraines, comprising a stiff boulder clay which produces gently undu- lating plains or a terrain of small, steep-sided hills and hollows, the latter often containing small lakes and marshes, as in the area around Berlin. Other features of the relief are the hills left behind by terminal glacial moraines, the sinuous lakes which are the remains of melt-water, and the embayments created by the sea intruding behind a moraine.

Oleson, Department of Greek and Roman Studies Supervisor Dr. Gregory D. Rowe, Department of Greek and Roman Studies Departmental Member During the last stages of the Marcommani Wars in the late second century A.D., Roman literary sources recorded that the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius was planning to annex the Germanic territory of the Marcomannic and Quadic tribes. This work will propose that Marcus Aurelius was going to create a province called Marcomannia. The thesis will be supported by archaeological data originating from excavations in the Roman installation at Mušov, Moravia, Czech Republic. The investigation will examine the history of the non-Roman region beyond the northern Danubian frontier, the character of Roman occupation and creation of other Roman provinces on the Danube, and consult primary sources and modern research on the topic of Roman expansion and empire building during the principate. iv Table of Contents Supervisory Committee .....................................................................................................

  • Consideraţii Privind Organizarea Cărămidăriei Legiunii a Xiii-A Gemina De La Apulum
    BHAUT, XII, 2010, p. 201-213 CONSIDERAŢII PRIVIND ORGANIZAREA CĂRĂMIDĂRIEI LEGIUNII A XIII-A GEMINA DE LA APULUM Doina Benea Cuvinte cheie: cărămidărie, legiunea a XIII Gemina, stampila de legiune, lut, material tegular Schüsselwörte: Ziegelei, Legio XIII Gemina, Legionsstempel, Lehm, Baumaterialien Zusamenfassung: Bei Apulum sind zwei Haupttypen der Legionsstempel bekannt. Beim ersten kommt nur der Legionsname vor, beim zweiten gibt es daneben auch gewisse Personennamen, die als Namen der Leiter der Ziegeleien betrachtet werden. Unter diesen kommen mindestens drei von Zivilisten vor, die also zu Lokalwerkstätten der canabae gehören. Die bislang erschienenen drei Namen Iulius Serenus, Terentianus, P. Clodius... auf Baumaterialien und auf bestimmten Gegenständen heben das hervor. Von diesen Beispielen ausgehend wurde die Ansicht vertreten, dass in den Werkstätten Baumaterialien aus Lehm auf Bestellung der Behörden oder der Armee für öffentliche Zwecke oder für das Militär hergestellt wurden. Man kann zum ersten Mal feststellen, dass diese bedeutende wirtschaftliche Tätigkeit in den Lagerdörfern der Legion XIII Gemina von Apulum stattfand, und zwar in den privaten Ziegeleien, die sowohl für die Armee als auch für den privaten Bereich gearbeitet haben. Der bedarf an Baumaterialien für die Errichtung der öffentlichen oder militärische Bauten in den neuen Siedlungen Dakiens haben die Behörden dazu veranlasst, sich an private Unternehmer zu wenden. Die keramischen Baumaterialien für die Provinz wurden in den canabae von Apulum hergestellt. Weder die Ausmaße und der Umfang dieser Produktion noch deren Verbreitung auf dem Gebiet der Provinz können allerdings ganz erfasst werden. Die Produktion wurde vermutlich von der Legion XIII Gemina überwacht, von einem magister figlinae oder –arum, wie zum Beispiel Aurelius Godes.

  • Horsemen from the Rhine. Early Roman Military Equipment from Capidava (I)
    Horsemen from the Rhine. Early roman military equipment from Capidava (I) ALEXANDRU RAȚIU IOAN C. OPRIȘ Rezumat: Articolul aduce în prim plan descoperirile de echipament militar roman din ultimile patru campanii de la Capidava, respectiv între anii 2015 și 2019. Echipamentul prezentat este, în marea parte a sa, caracteristic echipamentului călăreților auxiliari romani din secolele I-II p. Chr. Piesele au fost descoperite în contextul cel mai timpuriu cercetat vreodată la Capidava, respectiv prima fază de piatră a castrului, mai exact ruinele unor clădiri, pe care le bănuim a fi barăci militare, situate în retentura dextra. Aceste clădiri au fost descoperite cu ocazia cercetării arheologice exhaustive a edificiului numit Principia romană târzie, o clădire mare cu absidă, care datează din secolul IV p. Chr. Acesta suprapune barăcile timpurii, care au fost anterior demolate până la nivelul primei asize de elevație din zidărie de piatră legată cu pământ. Abstract: This paper emphasizes on the discoveries of Roman military equipment from the last four campaigns from Capidava (2015 - 2019). The equipment presented is, for the most part, characteristic of the equipment of Roman auxiliary horsemen from the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. The artefacts were discovered in the earliest context ever researched at Capidava, respectively the first stone-masonry phase of the fort, more precisely the remains of some buildings, which we believe to be military barracks, located in the retentura dextra. These buildings were discovered during the exhaustive archaeological research of the building that we believe to be the Late Roman Principia, a large building with an apse, dating from the 4th century AD.
