INDEX NEW HAMPSHIRE NEW HAMPSHIRE 1614 Captain John Smith, sailing along the New England coast, wrote back to England that: Here should be no landlords to rack us with high rents, or extorted fines to consume us. Here every man may be a master of his own labor and land in a short time. The sea there is the strangest pond I ever saw. What sport doth yield a more pleasant content and less hurt or charge than angling with a hook, and crossing the sweet air from isle to isle over the silent streams of a calm sea? The Massachusett indigenes probably had experienced first contact with Europeans intrusives at an early date, perhaps as soon as John Cabot in 1497, but they are first mentioned specifically in surviving records by Captain Smith as he explored the coast of New England. At this point there may have been as many as 3,000 Massachuset tribalists living in 20 villages around Boston Bay, including along the Charles River (Quinobequin) and the Neponset River in eastern Massachusetts,1 but by the time the Pilgrims would arrive in 1620 fewer than 800 of these would be present. A series of three separate epidemics would strike between 1614 and 1617, destroying three out of every four in the original native population. Simultaneously, unidentified rival tribes from the north would be attacking the villages. 1. The name is from an Algonquian word meaning “at the range of hills.” HDT WHAT?

INDEX NEW HAMPSHIRE NEW HAMPSHIRE There were six main bands of the Massachusett, under the following headmen: • Chickataubut (this band was divided into two groups, the Wampatuck and the Obatinnewat) • Nanepashemet (this band was divided into three groups, the Winnepurkit, the Wonohaquaham, and the Montowampate) • Manatahqua •Cato • Nahaton • Cutshamakin (or Cutshamequin, or Kutchamakin) These Massachusett were living in the following villages: • Agawam • Conohasset • Magaehnak • Massachuset • Mattapoist • Mishawum • Mystic • Nahapassumkeck • Nasnocomacack • Natick •Neponset • Nonantum • Patuxent • Pocapawmet • Sagoquas • Saugus • Secacasaw (Seccasaw) • Topeent • Totant • Totheet • Waranock • Wessagusset • Winnisimmet HDT WHAT?

INDEX NEW HAMPSHIRE NEW HAMPSHIRE 1616 There was in the Algonquian villages of what are now southern and central New Hampshire, northeastern Massachusetts, and southern Maine an epidemic of what is likely to have been measles or scarlet fever. The American population between the Narragansett bay and the Saco River was reduced from an estimated 100,000 to 5,000. Since virtually every village of the Massachusett along this coast within 30 miles of the ocean, all the way from the region of Portland down to Cape Cod, quickly fell victim, there has been much speculation that the epidemic was the small pox and that it had been carried to the natives by their contact with the French sailors, either the ones who had died in the vicinity of the waters of Boston Harbor or the ones who had survived and been enslaved by the native Americans. “They died in heaps, as they lay in their houses; and the living that were able to shift for themselves would run away.” The First Comers, coming across these piles of bones later, would term the places “a new found Golgotha.” Even years after this epidemic, “Their skulls and bones were found in many places lying still above the ground, where their houses and dwelling had been.” Historians generally do not credit that the epidemic must have been carried by these crewmen, citing the possibility of rats from this or another ship, and yet the historical estimate is that something like 19 out of every 20 humans along this coast had died during this outbreak. Meanwhile, a native war in Maine was desolating that region as well, so as the Pilgrims would arrive, they HDT WHAT?

INDEX NEW HAMPSHIRE NEW HAMPSHIRE 1621 In the grant of land between the Naumkeag River and the Merrimack River in what is now New Hampshire to Captain John Mason (now known as the Masonian claim of 1621, awarded by a “Council of New England” established in Plymouth, County of Devon, in the name of King James I of England) there appeared a clause clearly having to do with Plum Island: “The great Isle, henceforth to be called, Isle of Mason, lying near or before the bay, harbour, or river of Agawam.” We are told that the plumbs, which are found on Plumb Island, were plenty, many years since, in various parts of the town. HDT WHAT? INDEX NEW HAMPSHIRE NEW HAMPSHIRE 1623 A signal event in the history of Portsmouth, New Hampshire: Strawberry Banke was founded. Under the authority of an English land-grant, Captain John Mason and others sent two groups of colonizers to establish fishing colonies at the mouth of the Piscataqua River. One of these expeditions, under the Scotchman David Thomson, erected salt-drying fish racks and a stone “factory” near the river’s mouth at a place they called Little Harbor or “Pannaway,” which has since become the town of Rye. The other expedition, under the fish-merchant brothers of London Edward Hilton and Thomas Hilton, set up on a neck of land eight miles to the north which they named Northam, afterwards to become Dover. Sir Ferdinando Gorges’s son Robert Gorges was made Governor-General of New England (until he would give up and return to England in 1624). HDT WHAT?

This territory would be recharted as the Province of New Hampshire — it would include most of the southeastern part of the current state of that name plus portions of present-day Massachusetts that lie to the HDT WHAT?

Cedar Island, a small circular island in the Isles of Shoals about one-seventh of a mile in diameter, derived its name, apparently, from the few and scrappy cedar trees that had been noticed there by Captain John Smith in the early 17th Century. It is populated today by lobstermen’s families descended from early Shoaler fisherman. It is now connected by a government breakwater to Smuttynose Island and Star Island.

Jashemski, Professor This study summarizes the existing information on the Roman domestic cult and illustrates it by a study of the arch­ eological evidence. The household shrines (lararia) of Pompeii are discussed in detail. Lararia from other parts of the Roman world are also studied. The domestic worship of the Lares, Vesta, and the Penates, is discussed and their evolution is described. The Lares, protective spirits of the household, were originally rural deities. However, the word Lares was used in many dif­ ferent connotations apart from domestic religion. Vesta was closely associated with the family hearth and was an ancient agrarian deity. The Penates, whose origins are largely un­ known, were probably the guardian spirits of the household storeroom. All of the above elements of Roman domestic worship are present in the lararia of Pompeii. The Genius was the living force of a man and was an important element in domestic religion.

  • A Private Spectacle in Antioch: Investigation of an Initiation Scene
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation / Thesis: A PRIVATE SPECTACLE IN ANTIOCH: INVESTIGATION OF AN INITIATION SCENE Ozge Gencay, Master of Arts, 2004 Dissertation / Thesis Directed By: Professor Marjorie S. Venit Department of Art History and Archaeology The House of the Mysteries of Isis, contains a controversial mosaic pavement identified as Mors Voluntaria. It shows a female and a male figure with Hermes on their right, standing in front of a door. The subject has been identified as an initiation scene into the cult of a motherly goddess ± either Isis or Demeter--, but the lack of scenes depicting mysteries and the singularity of the iconography have also led to the suggestion of a theatrical representation. This paper aims to explain the choice of iconography from the standpoint of the ancient viewer. After a brief historical survey, each object and each figure and its gesture are investigated separately and compared with elements in contemporary works of art. These comparisons suggest a scene of the initiation into the cult of a deity with an hidden identity, which provides a secret spectacle for the pavement' s patron.

ANCIENT ROMAN MUNIFICENCE: THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PRACTICE AND LAW OF CHARITY William H. Byrnes, IV* INTRODUCTION This article traces Roman charity from its incipient meager beginnings during Rome's infancy to the mature legal formula it assumed after intersecting with the Roman emperors and Christianity. During this evolution, charity went from being a haphazard and often accidental private event to a broad undertaking of public, religious, and legal commitment. To mention the obvious, Rome was the greatest and most influential empire in the ancient world. It lasted more than a thousand years, traditionally beginning in 753 B.C. as a kingdom under Romulus.' In 509 B.C. it became a republic with permanent tyranny beginning in 31 B.C. under direction of the immortal Julius Caesar.2 The exact date of the end of * Professor and Director, Walter H.
