They are called Australopithecus afarensis and they walked upright, like us. Their fossilized footprints have been preserved to this day. We do not know where these Laetoli Australopithecus came from or where they were going, but their footprints demonstrate that they were indeed following a path: the path of their biological evolution.

La manca absoluta de testimonis no literaris sobre ells ha generat un llarg i complex debat que, en lloc de contemplar la manca d'evidencia no escrita com una dada positiva, ha intentat generar reconstruccions de l'evidencia textual que puguin resoldre les diverses i greus contradiccions entre els textos. Pero si es dóna un tractament diferent a l'evidencia escrita (amb una analisi de recurrencia), se la vincula amb el conjunt d'evidencia coneguda sobre els antics pobles peninsulars i s'aplica una crítica estricta que posi en evidencia les mancances de les principals propostes de reconstrucció, cal concloure que la pretesa existencia real d'una etnia lacetana, no és sinó el resultat de la confusió (escrita) amb altres dues etnies que sí van existir i de les quals hi ha testimonis ferms: els laietans i els iace­ tans. PARAULES CLAU LAIETANS, LACETANS, IACETANS, PALETNOLOGIA, CULTURA IBERICA. The ancient sources about Iberia talk about the ancient people named Lacetanian. The absolute lack of any kind of non-literary evidence about them has incited a large and old polemic attemp­ ting to solve the various and deep contradictions contained in the literary corpus. A better way to study this case consists in changing this lack of evidence into a positive datum, making a dif­ ferent use of the literary evidence by developing a recurrence analysis inserted into a larger stock of evidence about the ancient Iberian peoples.

El presente trabajo analiza la inclusión de la ciudad de Calagurris dentro del grupo étnico de los Vascones, que se considera efectuado en este momento histórico. Abstract Pompey the Great granted numerous advantages to different communities when concluding the Sertorian War.The present work studies the inclusion of the city of Calagurris inside the ethnic group of the Vascones that is considered made at this time. La mejor forma de constituir una clientela por un político romano ambicioso era la distribución de numerosos beneficios y recompensas, tanto a comunidades como a per- sonajes individuales notables1, conjuntamente con una propaganda muy bien orquestada. Cn. Pompeyo Magno (cos. I 70 a.C.) fue quien tuvo más éxito al coordinar todos estos elementos, lo que le habilitó para crear y organizar una de las más fuertes e importantes clientelas del Imperio2. Simplemente, prosiguió la política de personajes ambiciosos que, mientras servían a los intereses del Estado, a su vez intentaban extender el cuerpo de su clientela, que ya tenía sus bases en las acciones de su padre, Cn. Pompeyo Estrabón (cos. 89 a.C.)3, pero elevándolo a un nivel jamás alcanzado hasta entonces. El momento más propicio por Pompeyo Magno para realizar esta labor en Hispania fue el periodo entre la finalización de la guerra sertoriana y su marcha a Roma a cele- *.

AELAW Booklet / 3 Iberian Language / Writing / Epigraphy Noemí Moncunill Martí Javier Velaza Frías INTRODUCTION* The Iberian language is principally documented by more than 2000 inscriptions dated between the fifth century BCE and first century CE, drawn from a region of the Mediterranean belt that stretches from the Hérault river in French Languedoc to Almeria. It is currently an undeciphered language. We are able to read its texts fairly reliably and even analyse the briefest and most formulaic of them with some competence, but nonetheless are unable to understand its meaning. From a typological perspective, it is almost certainly an agglutinative language which may present ergative features. Its hypothetical relationships with other languages, ancient or modern, are, however, still unproven: although a relationship with Aquitanian or ancient Basque is not impossible, it is unclear whether this would be genetic or through contact. The study of the Iberian language, like that of the other Palaeohispanic languages, goes back to the works of the numismatists, from Antonio Agustín and Velázquez to Delgado and Zóbel de Zangróniz. They are responsible for identifying the script and deciphering the first signs. When Emil Hübner published the first corpus of pre-Roman Hispanian inscriptions at the end of the nineteenth century, however, the system of transcription was still very deficient and did not even serve to reveal that these inscriptions were in fact evidence of various languages that are very different to one another.

Üyesi Gürkan Ergin İSTANBUL-2019 ÖZ CORNELII SCIPIONES: ROMA’NIN KADERİNİ ÇİZMİŞ BİR AİLENİN TARİHİ VE MİRASI MEHMET ESAT ÖZER Scipio ailesinin tarihi neredeyse Roma Cumhuriyeti’nin kendisi kadar eskidir. Scipio’lar Roma Cumhuriyeti’nde yüksek memuriyet görevlerinde en sık yer almış ailelerinden biri olup yükselişleri etkileyicidir. Roma’nın bir varoluş mücadelesi verdiği Veii Savaşları’ndan yükselişe geçtiği Kartaca Savaşları’na Roma Cumhuriyet tarihinin en kritik anlarında sahne alarak Roma’nın Akdeniz Dünyası’nın egemen gücü olmasına katkıda bulunmuşlardır. Aile özellikle Scipio Africanus, Scipio Aemilianus gibi isimlerin elde ettiği başarılarla Roma aristokrasisinde ön plana çıkarak Roma’nın siyasi ve askeri tarihinin önemli olaylarında başrol oynamıştır. Bu tezde Scipio ailesi antik yazarların eserleri ve arkeolojik veriler ışığında incelenerek ailenin geçmişi; siyasi, sosyal, kültürel alanlardaki faaliyetleriyle katkıları ve Roma’nın emperyal bir devlete dönüşmesindeki etkileri değerlendirilecektir. Konunun kapsamı sadece ailenin Roma Cumhuriyet tarihindeki yeriyle sınırlı kalmayıp sonraki dönemlerde de zamanın şartlarına göre nasıl algılandığına da değinilecektir.

  • Linguistic Strata in Ancient Cantabria: the Evidence of Toponyms
    HAnt XXXI-2007, 7-20 LINGUISTIC STRATA IN ANCIENT CANTABRIA: THE EVIDENCE OF TOPONYMS LEONARD A. CURCHIN UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO (CANADÁ) RESUMEN: Un análisis detallado de los topónimos de la Cantabria antigua impugna la idea de una substancial presencia preindoeuropea o vasca en esta región. Fuera de un número limitado de nombres romanos, testimonio de un nivel débil de romanización, la clasificación lingüística de los topónimos se divide casi igualmente entre el céltico y una lengua indoeuropea no céltica, de la cual ignoramos su identidad. SUMMARY: A detailed analysis of place-names in ancient Cantabria disproves the idea of a substantial pre-Indo-European or Basque presence in the region. Apart from a relatively small number of Roman names, indicative of a weak degree of romanization, the linguistic affiliation of toponyms is almost equally divided between Celtic and a non-Celtic Indo-European language which remains unidentified. It is an unfortunate fact that, apart from the accounts of Augustus’ campaigns in 26-19 B.C., the ancient sources have left us no narrative history of Cantabria. In particular, there is a paucity of information about the sequence and interaction of the various ethnic and linguistic groups that populated this region, leaving doubt as to whether the dominant language was Iberian, Basque, Celtic, or some earlier Indo-European (henceforth IE) tongue. While nineteenth- century scholars such as M. Assas and A. Fernández Guerra believed that the Cantabrians were Celtic, P. Bosch Gimpera considered them an Iberian enclave within the Celtic block, and J. Caro Baroja identified them as an autochthonous, pre-Celtic people1.

A PRELIMINARY THEORETICAL REMARK. The number of varieties documented for a certain language is inversely proportional to the fixedness of a literary code within the the same linguistic tradition. In particular, the richness of diatopic varieties documented in the ancient Gaulish territories was emphasized by Whatmough in the middle of the past century, and the coexistence of various dialects of an ancient type of Celtic2 could also be proved for the Iberian Peninsula.3 Although much more work is to be done in order to identify all individual isoglosses and study their dispersion, we offer here some evidence regarding a specific one. 1. *yo > ye IN LIGURIAN ONOMASTICS.
