First, I am deeply grateful to my thesis committee: Andrew Carnie, Robert Groves, and Philip Waddell. Prof. Carnie has not only taught me a tremendous amount about syntax but has encouraged me that my research is worth doing. This thesis would be far lacking in clarity and rigor without Prof. Groves’ very well- justified skepticism and his exhortations to express my ideas as simply and clearly as is appropriate. At every step, he has encouraged me to simply put words on the page and to move on, even if more could be done. Simply put, this thesis would not ever have been completed without him. I thank Prof. Waddell for introducing me to the fun of Roman epigraphy and for instilling an attitude of simultaneous awareness of the limits of one’s evidence and optimism about what one can learn from it. I thank my teachers at UA, from both classics and linguistics, who have encouraged and helped shape my interest in language, Greek, Latin, or otherwise: Diana Archangeli, Tom Bever, Noam Chomsky, David Christenson, Courtney Friesen, Heidi Harley, Robert Henderson, Sarah McCallum, Arum Park, Massimo Piattelli-Palmarini, and Cynthia White. I especially thank Prof. Chomsky for taking my questions seriously, however naïve, and for stressing the importance of developing a really scientific methodology if one is committed to doing corpus linguistics. I am grateful to Harm Pinkster for sending me chapters from his forthcoming second volume of the Oxford Latin Syntax, and for noting an important reference that I had missed. I thank Davide Mocci for his feedback and references. Helma Dik and the other contributors to the Perseus under Philologic project deserve much credit for developing and maintaining the best electronic corpus search tool for Latin. Without the lore, support, practical advice, and plain fun times of my cohort-mates and second-years, I don’t think I would have made it to this point. I thank Monica Barcarolo, Elise Larres, Miranda Lovett, Mal Main, Gabe Martinez, Ian Morgan, Luke Munson, Nick Nelson, Julia Paré, Sammi Richter, Kayt Roberto, Jordan Swanson, Michael Swantek, and Caleb Speakman. Thanks to Xiaolong Lu for the late-night movies, ping pong, debates over different theories of grammar, for introducing me to Lao Gan Ma, and for the overall good times. Finally, none of it would have been possible or worth doing without my loved ones. You know who you are. 4 Table of Contents Abbreviations .................................................................................................................................. 6 Abstract ........................................................................................................................................... 8 1.

  • Characters for Classical Latin
    Characters for Classical Latin David J. Perry version 13, 2 July 2020 Introduction The purpose of this document is to identify all characters of interest to those who work with Classical Latin, no matter how rare. Epigraphers will want many of these, but I want to collect any character that is needed in any context. Those that are already available in Unicode will be so identified; those that may be available can be debated; and those that are clearly absent and should be proposed can be proposed; and those that are so rare as to be unencodable will be known. If you have any suggestions for additional characters or reactions to the suggestions made here, please email me at [email protected] . No matter how rare, let’s get all possible characters on this list. Version 6 of this document has been updated to reflect the many characters of interest to Latinists encoded as of Unicode version 13.0. Characters are indicated by their Unicode value, a hexadecimal number, and their name printed IN SMALL CAPITALS. Unicode values may be preceded by U+ to set them off from surrounding text. Combining diacritics are printed over a dotted cir- cle ◌ to show that they are intended to be used over a base character. For more basic information about Unicode, see the website of The Unicode Consortium, http://www.unicode.org/ or my book cited below. Please note that abbreviations constructed with lines above or through existing let- ters are not considered separate characters except in unusual circumstances, nor are the space-saving ligatures found in Latin inscriptions unless they have a unique grammatical or phonemic function (which they normally don’t).

  • Via Egnatia: the Dyrrachion- Philippoi Itinerary
    VIA EGNATIA: THE DYRRACHION- PHILIPPOI ITINERARY. (START TO XI CENTURY) *** Afrim HOTI- Damianos KOMATAS *** After the creation of the roman province of Macedonia a new street infra- structure development strategy emerged. Cicero (106-43 BC) described this new strategy with the well-known expression “nostra militare”1. Several dis- tinct archeological objects (relieves, milestones and especially carved inscrip- tions) as well as written documents, specifically talk about the characteristics of this street. More specifically these evidences show that this road has been used as a military road (Fig. 1), as well as a principal artery of interregional commerce2. Egnatia got its final shape after many construction and reconstruction phases. Based on data given by Polybius (200-120 BC), the road, built by the Macedonian consul Gnaeus Egnatius between years 146-143 BC, connected Apolonia of Illiry with Thessaloniki, spawning a distance of 267 miles (395 km)3. As time passed by, the colony of Dyrrachium (Fig. 2) became the starting point of Egnatia, with the length increasing to 553 miles (830 km) as this street reached Byzant. Many existing road infrastructures were used in several segments of this road. According to Strabon’ s (63 BC- 24 AD) Geographica the stone road found on the side of Shkumbini’s valley followed the previous street line of the Illyrian street “Candavia” 4. 1 F.
