  • 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.

  • Pagan Survivals, Superstitions and Popular Cultures in Early Medieval Pastoral Literature
    Bernadette Filotas PAGAN SURVIVALS, SUPERSTITIONS AND POPULAR CULTURES IN EARLY MEDIEVAL PASTORAL LITERATURE Is medieval pastoral literature an accurate reflection of actual beliefs and practices in the early medieval West or simply of literary conventions in- herited by clerical writers? How and to what extent did Christianity and traditional pre-Christian beliefs and practices come into conflict, influence each other, and merge in popular culture? This comprehensive study examines early medieval popular culture as it appears in ecclesiastical and secular law, sermons, penitentials and other pastoral works – a selective, skewed, but still illuminating record of the be- liefs and practices of ordinary Christians. Concentrating on the five cen- turies from c. 500 to c. 1000, Pagan Survivals, Superstitions and Popular Cultures in Early Medieval Pastoral Literature presents the evidence for folk religious beliefs and piety, attitudes to nature and death, festivals, magic, drinking and alimentary customs. As such it provides a precious glimpse of the mu- tual adaptation of Christianity and traditional cultures at an important period of cultural and religious transition.

  • The Orientation of the Plan of Novaesium, a Roman Fort on the Rhine
    The orientation of the plan of Novaesium, a Roman fort on the Rhine Amelia Carolina Sparavigna Dipartimento di Scienza Applicata e Tecnologia, Politecnico di Torino, Torino, Italy Abstract Novaesium was a Roman fort on the Rhine, a fort which served for the campaigns of Augustus and Drusus against Germans. The plan is the standard one of the Roman camps. Here we discuss its orientation. It has its decumanus having, as far as we can see from archaeological surveys, an azimuth of about 118 degrees. The fort has a perfect orientation "secundum naturam". In the case that this castrum were oriented "secundum coelum", that is in the direction of the sunrise on the day of its foundation, it could had been founded on November 13 or February 1 (Julian dates). This second date is interesting, because it is coincident to the historical date of 30 January, the birthday of Drusus’ mother and Augusts’ wife, Livia. Keywords: Archaeoastronomy. Writte 22 May 2019. DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.3168183 After the Caesar's Gallic Wars, Rome considered important to establish a better control of the Lower Rhine. A local government and a network of roads were established, in order of securing and developing the areas conquered by Caesar. A further expansionist policy was not under consideration [1]. However the region was subjected to increasing and prolonged attacks by Germanic tribes, which culminated in the so-called Clades Lolliana. The Roman governor Marcus Lollius was defeated by united forces of Sicambri, Tencteri and Usipetes. The Clades, in 17 or 16 BC, changed the policy. In 16 BC, Augustus went in Gaul in order to settle, once for all, this Germanic problem.

  • Romans and Barbarians in Tacitus' Battle Narratives
    ROMANS AND BARBARIANS IN TACITUS’ BATTLE NARRATIVES by RYAN MICHAEL SEEGER (Under the direction of Dr. Susan Mattern-Parkes) ABSTRACT The purpose of the study is to examine how Tacitus constructs ethnic stereotypes, namely those of the Romans and of the barbarians, in his battle narratives. The first section of the study explores his descriptions of technical aspects of the battle narrative, such as topography, use of weaponry, battle formations, and sieges. The second section examines the value judgments that Tacitus makes about the combatants and their actions, discussing the themes of discipline and virtus, as well as the leaders’ ability to lead by example and stifle dissent. In his descriptions of both the technical and the “moral” aspects of battle, Tacitus shapes his Romans quite differently from his barbarians. Tacitus constructs identities in his battle narratives possibly to satisfy his audience’s expectations or to make the scenes more understandable. Such constructions indicate that ethnocentrism plays an important role in Latin historiography, revealing racial prejudice in Roman society.

  • 1 Ethnography Encountered
    ETHNOGRAPHY ENCOUNTERED: THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE ETHNOGRAPHIC FRAMEWORK OF CAESAR'S GALLIC WAR Over a decade before he came, saw, and conquered at Zela in 46 BC, Julius Caesar was engaged in a similar—if much more extended—enterprise in Gaul and neighboring regions of northern Europe. Although he set out initially to face the threat of the Helvetii, Caesar managed to extend this originally brief expedition into an eight-year sequence of campaigns that took him to the unexplored frontiers of the known world, where he encountered a seemingly endless supply of new and conveniently threatening peoples to conquer. The events of this campaign were documented by Caesar in his de Bello Gallico. While the work's primary focus was on political interactions and wars with the barbarian tribes of northern Europe, Caesar also included a number of ethnographic accounts of these peoples, some of which were the first of their kind in ancient ethnography. As a genre, ethnography had existed among the Greeks for centuries, but Caesar was one of the first Romans of whom we know to write in a deliberately ethnographic mode.1 Furthermore, Caesar appears to have been the first author, Greek or Roman, to write an ethnography of the Germans,2 the first Roman to explore Britain, and one of few ancient authors by his date to have written an ethnographic account of the island's inhabitants. Caesar was not, however, merely content with covering new geographic and literary ground. The structure and content of the ethnographic sections of the Gallic War not only indicate that Caesar was aware of and engaging with the Greek ethnographic tradition, 3 but also that he included them with the 1 The only surviving text predating Caesar that engages in ethnographic inquiry in any length or detail is Cato the Elder's Origines, which now exists only in fragments, some of which concern the Gauls of northern Italy (Williams (2001) 71-80; Woolf (2011) 60).

This negative perception of Germania – the modern Netherlands and Germany – lay behind the reluctance of Rome’s great military commanders to tame its immense wilderness. Caius Iulius Caesar famously threw a wooden pontoon bridge across the River Rhine (Rhenus) in just ten days, not once but twice, in 55 and 53 bc. The next Roman general to do so was Marcus Agrippa, in 39/38 bc or 19/18 bc. However, none of these missions was for conquest, but in response to pleas for assistance from an ally of the Romans, the Germanic nation of the Ubii. It was not until the reign of Caesar Augustus that a serious attempt was made to annex the land beyond the wide river and transform it into a province fit for Romans to live in.

  • Julius Caesar and the Germans
    Julius Caesar and the Germans Amelia Carolina Sparavigna Politecnico di Torino, Torino, Italy This article is proposing a discussion of what was written in De Bello Gallico on Caesar's military campaign against the Germans, in particular against Usipetes and Tencteri. It will also be analyzed what was said by Plutarch about the accusation, made to Caesar by Cato the Younger, of having violated the truce with these Germans. Finally, the texts of Caesar and Plutarch will be compared with what is written in the books by Luciano Canfora and Jérôme Carcopino. Torino, 3 Agosto 2018. DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.1328251. Revised 30 November 2018 Recently, some Dutch archaeologists have proposed a reconstruction of the physical appearance of Julius Caesar [1]. The reconstruction, which I discussed in [2-4], was used to launch a book by Tom Buijtendorp, Caesar in de Lage Landen, on Caesar's military campaign against the Germans, in particular against Usipetes and Tencteri tribes, a campaign that took place in the territory crossed by the Rhine and today located in the Netherlands. [5]. Some clarifications on this military campaign are, in my opinion, necessary. They are contained in the article that I am now proposing. In it, the reader will find the analysis of what Caesar wrote in his De Bello Gallico and what Plutarch told about the accusation made to Caesar by Cato the Younger, of violating the truce with these Germans. Finally, the texts of Caesar and Plutarch will be compared with what is written in the books by Luciano Canfora and Jérôme Carcopino.
