The Top-Ranking Towns in the Balkan and Pannonian Provinces of the Roman Empire Najpomembnejša Antična Mesta Balkanskih Provinc in Obeh Panonij
Arheološki vestnik 71, 2020, 193–215; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3986/AV.71.05 193 The top-ranking towns in the Balkan and Pannonian provinces of the Roman Empire Najpomembnejša antična mesta balkanskih provinc in obeh Panonij Damjan DONEV Izvleček Rimska mesta balkanskih in podonavskih provinc so bila doslej le redko del raziskav širših mestnih mrež. Namen prispevka je prepoznati glavne značilnosti mestnih sistemov in na podlagi najpomembnejših mest provincialne mestne hierarhije poiskati njihovo vpetost v ekonomijo provinc v času severske dinastije. Avtor se osredotoča na primerjavo veli- kosti prvorazrednih mest z ostalimi naselbinami, upošteva pa tudi njihovo lego in kmetijsko bogastvo zaledja. Ugotavlja, da moramo obravnavano območje glede na ekonomske vire razumeti kot obrobje rimskega imperija. Glavna bogastva obravnavanih provinc so bili namreč les, volna, ruda in delovna sila, kar se jasno izraža tudi v osnovnih geografskih parametrih prvorazrednih mest: v njihovi relativno skromni velikosti, obrobni legi in vojaški naravi. Ključne besede: Balkanski polotok; Donava; principat; urbanizacija; urbani sistemi Abstract The Roman towns of the Balkan and Danube provinces have rarely been studied as parts of wider urban networks. This paper attempts to identify the principle features of these urban systems and their implications for the economy of the provinces at the time of the Severan dynasty, through the prism of the top-ranking towns in the provincial urban hierarchies. The focus will be on the size of the first-ranking settlements in relation to the size of the lower-ranking towns, their location and the agricultural riches of their hinterlands. One of the main conclusions of this study is that, from an economic perspective, the region under study was a peripheral part of the Roman Empire. -
What Influenced Life's Daily Routines for Jesus
Acts: NT222 Crucifixion, Resurrection & Proclamation LESSON 2 of 4 What Influenced Life's Daily Routines for Jesus Craig L. Blomberg Ph.D. Distinguished Professor of New Testament Studies at Denver Seminary in Littleton, Colorado I. Introduction to Physical, Political, and Gentile Religious Settings In this second part of the New Testament setting, we will discuss the topography of Palestine, its climate, and everyday life. We will then examine the political environment and the Gentile religious setting of the New Testament world. II. Topography of Palestine The topography of Palestine can be divided into four zones which run north to south. These are (1) the coastal plain, continuous with the Phoenician coast; (2) Galilee and the central hill country, continuous with the Lebanon Mountains; (3) the Jordan rift valley, continuous with the Bekaa (Beqa) Valley; and (4) the Transjordanian highlands, continuous with the Anti-Lebanon Mountains. A. The Coastal Plain The coastal plain extends northward from Sinai along the Mediterranean Coast to the border of modern Lebanon. It narrows progressively from a twenty-mile width near Gaza on the Philistine plain to twelve miles near Joppa on the border of the Plain of Sharon, to less than two miles along the Plain of Dor, south of Haifa. Mount Carmel, a northwesterly extension of the central highland, interrupts the coastal plain where it meets the Mediterranean Sea at the modern city of Haifa. North of Mount Carmel the Plain of Acco, some five to seven miles in width, ends abruptly at the white limestone cliffs of Rosh Hanikra. B. Galilee and Central Hill Country The hills of Galilee comprise one of four main regions into which the central highlands can be divided. -
Jobs in Roman Spain
JOBS IN ROMAN SPAIN Leonard A. Curchin A l'économie? L'épitaphe peut-être révélera un métier ignoré. (Marc Bloch, Apologie pour l'histoire [Paris 1952] 73) While the range of occupations attested for residents of the city of Rome has been the subject of several studies,1 considerably less attention has been focused upon jobs in the provinces. This disparity may be due partly to an understandably greater interest in the imperial capital than in peripheral regions, but also and perhaps chiefly to the fact that the columbaria of Rome provide convenient, "closed" samples of inscriptions from a single city within limited chronological bounds, whereas the epigraphic evidence (which is by far the largest segment of testimony)2 for provincial jobs, being scattered over vast geographical tracts and extensive periods of time, is far less diagnostic. An analysis of the epitaphs from a single provincial city would in most cases yield only a handful of jobs, while an attempted study of a chronologically restricted sample would be considerably impeded by our inability to date closely the majority of the inscriptions. For better or worse, then, all the inscriptions of a province or region should be studied as a whole, preferably in constant comparison with avail- able literary and iconographie evidence, and the provincial historian may thereby hope to reap a large selection of job titles from his chosen bailiwick.3 32 33 The present paper examines the types of jobs attested for the residents of Spain from the advent of the Romans in the late third century B.C. -

Roman Lead Sealings
Roman Lead Sealings VOLUME I MICHAEL CHARLES WILLIAM STILL SUBMITTED FOR TIlE DEGREE OF PILD. SEPTEMBER 1995 UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON INSTITUTE OF ARCHAEOLOGY (L n") '3 1. ABSTRACT This thesis is based on a catalogue of c. 1800 records, covering over 2000 examples of Roman lead sealings, many previously unpublished. The catalogue is provided with indices of inscriptions and of anepigraphic designs, and subsidiary indices of places, military units, private individuals and emperors mentioned on the scalings. The main part of the thesis commences with a history of the use of lead sealings outside of the Roman period, which is followed by a new typology (the first since c.1900) which puts special emphasis on the use of form as a guide to dating. The next group of chapters examine the evidence for use of the different categories of scalings, i.e. Imperial, Official, Taxation, Provincial, Civic, Military and Miscellaneous. This includes evidence from impressions, form, texture of reverse, association with findspot and any literary references which may help. The next chapter compares distances travelled by similar scalings and looks at the widespread distribution of identical scalings of which the origin is unknown. The first statistical chapter covers imperial sealings. These can be assigned to certain periods and can thus be subjected to the type of analysis usually reserved for coins. The second statistical chapter looks at the division of categories of scalings within each province. The scalings in each category within each province are calculated as percentages of the provincial total and are then compared with an adjusted percentage for that category in the whole of the empire. -

In each list there is an account of each attested centurion which concentrates on the date and the context of the inscription. Multiple centurionate careers are cross-referenced into the relevant chapters of Volume one. At the end of each chronological list there is a chronologically ordered spread-sheet giving name, reference, date, origin, findspot and any further noteworthy information. At the end of the chronologically ordered spread-sheet there is an alphabetically ordered spread-sheet giving the same information. Centurions named on lead seals and graffiti- are only mentioned if the name is confirmed on a stone inscription from another place. I hope in the future to produce a complete list of centurions from sources other than stone. The legions omitted from the lists are those from the Greek speaking area of the Empire, plus III Augusta and VII Gemina which have both had lists of their centurions published in recent years. Again, I hope to produce a complete list of legionary centurions in the future. -

The Myth of Aphrodite and Adonis in Roman Mosaics of Jordan, Arabia
JMR 8, 2015 1-16 The Myth of Aphrodite and Adonis in Roman Mosaics of Jordan, Arabia, Antioch, Mauretania Tingitana and Hispania Ürdün, Arabistan, Antakya, Mauretania Tingitana ve Hispanya’daki Roma Mozaikleri Üzerinde Aphrodite ve Adonis Miti José María BLÁZQUEZ* (Received 9 February 2015, accepted after revision 29 October 2015) Abstract The myth of the love between Aphrodite and Adonis has a Syrian origin. It was known in Greece since 700 B.C. The early Greek vases, Athenian black figure vases and Athenian red figure vases do not represent it. It appears in Corinthian mirrors from the mid-4th century B.C. A huge celebration took place in the Ptolemaic court in Alexandria in honour of Adonis. During the Roman Empire it was represented in several Roman mosaics in An- tioch. The myth is not known in mosaics of Orient, Greece and Northern Africa. It was represented in Madaba during the mid-4th century A.D. In Western Roman mosaics it was represented in Lixus, Mauretania Tingitana, and in several mosaics of Hispania. A celebration in honour of Adonis took place in Hispalis in 287 A.D. Keywords: Aphrodite and Adonis, greek vases, mirror of Corinth, Ptolemaios, not Orient, not Northern Africa, Antioch, Lixus, Hispania, Hispalis. Öz Aphrodite ve Adonis arasında yaşanan aşk miti Suriyeli bir kökene sahiptir. Yunanistan’da, İ.Ö. 700’lerden beri bilinmektedir. Erken Yunan vazoları, Atina siyah ve kırmızı figürlü vazolar bu konuyu betimlememektedir. Bu konu, İ.Ö. 4. yüzyıl ortalarında, Korint paralellerinde görünmektedir. İskenderiye’de, Ptolemaios Hanedanı sarayında, Adonis onuruna büyük törenler düzenlenmekteydi. Roma İmparatorluğu Dönemi’nde, Antakya’da birçok Roma mozaiği üzerinde bu konu tasvir edilmiştir. -

Ebru N. AKDOĞU ARCA* New Inscriptions from Bithynia
GEPHYRA 4 2007 145–154 Ebru N. AKDOĞU ARCA* New Inscriptions From Bithynia Abstract: In this article one unpublished Greek dedication inscription from Beyyayla dated to the third century A.D. and eight unpublished funerary Greek inscriptions from Bithynia dated to the Roman Imperial Period are presented. Four funerary inscriptions are of the doorstone type. Six funerary inscriptions are from Nikaia – the curve of the middle Sangarios (Göynük, Gölpazarı, Taraklı and Geyve) –, one is from Prusa ad Olympum and one is from Claudiopolis. Copies and photographs of the inscriptions were taken by Prof. Dr. Sencer Şahin in the 1980’s while he was surveying in Bithynia. Information concerning those inscriptions was obtained from the notes which were taken by him at that time. The inscriptions are as follows. 1) A dedication to Zeus (H?)iarazaios from Beyyayla1 White limestone altar. Found in Arpalık, ca. 500 m south west of Beyyayla, in front of the house of Ali Şahin. Dimensions: H. 0.68 m, W. 0.26 m, D. 0.22 m, L. 0.021 m. All corners of the stone are damaged and some of them are broken. Due to this, only small fragments of the acroteria are pre- served. There is a rosette motif carved in the middle and nearly upon the profile. On the right and left side, in the middle of the acro- teria is carved a boukephalos. There are tendrils on the both side of the boukephalos. The inscription begins fairly under the profile and consists of three lines. The inscription is complete and well- preserved.
