  • Roman Lead Sealings

    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thesis is based on a catalogue of c. 1800 records, covering over 2000 examples of Roman lead sealings, many previously unpublished.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.

This series focuses on the resulting diversity within Late Antique society, emphasizing cultural connections and exchanges; questions of unity and inclusion, alienation and conflict; and the processes of syncretism and change. By drawing upon a number of disciplines and approaches, this series sheds light on the cultural and social history of Late Antiquity and the greater Mediterranean world.

    The Britons in Late Antiquity: Power, Identity And

    THE BRITONS IN LATE ANTIQUITY: POWER, IDENTITY AND ETHNICITY EDWIN R. HUSTWIT Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Bangor University 2014 Summary This study focuses on the creation of both British ethnic or ‘national’ identity and Brittonic regional/dynastic identities in the Roman and early medieval periods. It is divided into two interrelated sections which deal with a broad range of textual and archaeological evidence. Its starting point is an examination of Roman views of the inhabitants of the island of Britain and how ethnographic images were created in order to define the population of Britain as 1 barbarians who required the civilising influence of imperial conquest. The discussion here seeks to elucidate, as far as possible, the extent to which the Britons were incorporated into the provincial framework and subsequently ordered and defined themselves as an imperial people. This first section culminates with discussion of Gildas’s De Excidio Britanniae. It seeks to illuminate how Gildas attempted to create a new identity for his contemporaries which, though to a certain extent based on the foundations of Roman-period Britishness, situated his gens uniquely amongst the peoples of late antique Europe as God’s familia. The second section of the thesis examines the creation of regional and dynastic identities and the emergence of kingship amongst the Britons in the late and immediately post-Roman periods. It is largely concerned to show how interaction with the Roman state played a key role in the creation of early kingships in northern and western Britain. The argument stresses that while there were claims of continuity in group identities in the late antique period, the socio-political units which emerged in the fifth and sixth centuries were new entities.

    The Two Mauretaniae: Their Romanization and The

    THE TWO MAURETANIAE: THEIR ROMANIZATION AND THE IMPERIAL CULT by CLAUDIA GIRONI submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the subject ANCIENT HISTORY at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR : PROF. U.R.D. VOGEL JOINT SUPERVISOR : DR M. KLEIJWEGT Date submitted November 1996 SUMMARY The 'Romanization' of the African provinces of Mauretania Tingitana and Mauretania Caesariensis was in fact a two-way process of exchange between Roman and African elements which resulted in a uniquely Romano-African civilization. The imperial cult highlights issues common to all Romanization processes, such as ruler-subject interaction and the role of local initiative in bringing about change, as well as unique issues such as the impact of politics on emperor-worship. The success of the imperial cult was hampered by the fact that only a select few - notably the wealthy local elite - derived direct benefit from the process, and by the fact that, because the pre-Roman Mauretaniae had no established ruler-cults, the imperial cult failed to assimilate with local tradition. As a result, the cult was unable either to make a decisive impact on the Romanization of the Mauretanians, or to achieve any real religious unity among them. KEY TERMS Romanization; Imperial cult; North African history; Roman empire; Mauretania Tingitana; Mauretania Caesariensis; Mauri; Religious syncretism; Roman gods; Roman priests; African religion, ancient. DECLARATION I declare that "The two Mauretaniae : their Romanization and the imperial cult" is my own work and that all the sources that I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references.

    Roman era Carthage and Lepcis Magna a comparative study of the Romanization and the Libyphoenician survival of the two leading cities of Africa Proconsularis Andreas Lagaard, Historisk Institutt, UiO, HIS4090 Vår 2008 1 Preface: This thesis started off as an interest in the Phoenicians sparked off by Maria Eugenia Aubet's The Phoenicians and the West and especially her mention of the lost literary heritage from these peoples which intrigued me to no end. So when I had to choose a subject fro my work I was really interested in doing a piece on them and their lost history. However there were no thesis councilors available for that time period and I had to move my chosen period into the realm of Antiquity when the Phoenician homelands were reaching their historical dusk so to speak. I vacillated in the beginning between doing a study on the Alexandrian siege of Tyre with possible comparative avenues of research pertaining to the previous sieges/attacks on the island city state and a study on the Western Phoenicians and their zone of influence. As Jon Iddeng, my future thesis councilor to be, was an expert in Latin Literature and the Romans in general I chose to follow a path of study detailing their archenemies the Punic peoples. At first I in my naivety thought that the whole Punic realm of the Western Mediterranean would be a fitting subject for study. I quickly realized the vast magnitude of such an undertaking and scaled down my subject to first just the Punic peoples in Africa and then later to just the populations of Punic Africa's heartlands in Tunisia and Libya.
  • Marketing Libya As a Tourist Destination: Strategies for Development

    Marketing Libya As a Tourist Destination: Strategies for Development

    MARKETING LIBYA AS A TOURIST DESTINATION: STRATEGIES FOR DEVELOPMENT Atiya Abuharris and Les Ruddock Research Institute for the Built and Human Environment, University of Salford Manchester, M7 9NU UK E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Although Libya is not a tourism-dependent country, this activity could become one of the most important sectors for the Libyan economy and its importance for the country's development is increasing year by year. The national economy, which for so many years has been bolstered by the oil factor, could clearly benefit from this growth in tourism. Tourism as a recognized industry in the world is relatively recent, and in Libya is a young country. Libya has the potential to become one of the most attractive places for tourists in North Africa. However, in order for Libya to fully exploit this tourism potential, there are several important issues to consider. The paper will be concerned with important issues regarding the development of the sector. It analyses the opportunities and challenges with which Libya’s international tourism is confronted as well as suggests the choices of policies and strategies Libya should undertake for its tourism development in the shadow of the country’s new orientations to reduce its economic dependency on oil revenue. Keywords : Tourism, Libya, challenges, opportunities, planning, development. INTRODUCTION Tourism is one of the largest industries in the world and, in several countries tourism has replaced oil at the top of the list in terms of foreign currency movements. In fact international tourism is an important part of trade in services, whose development has attracted the attention of the world community.
  • When Not in Rome, Still Do As the Romans Do? Africa from 146 BCE to the 7Th Century

    When Not in Rome, Still Do As the Romans Do? Africa from 146 BCE to the 7Th Century

    Roland Steinacher When not in Rome, still do as the Romans do? Africa from 146 BCE to the 7th century Studying North Africa poses a variety of problems. Historical as well as archaeolog- ical research bears the burden of a colonial view on Africa’s past, which tends to overemphasize its Roman aspects. Berber (Numidian and Moorish) political entities together with Punic (Carthaginian) cities had a long history when Rome entered the African scene. The history of Roman North Africa in its narrow sense started with the forming of Africa vetus in 146 BCE, after the third Punic War and the destruction of Carthage. For the centuries to come, Rome relied on client kings in Numidia and Mauretania to secure the new province. Initially Africa consisted of the Carthaginian hinterland and had the fossa regia as a demarcation line drawn by Scipio the Young- er between the territory of the Numidian kings and the Roman province. Caesar added Africa nova (parts of the Numidian territory between the Tusca and Ampsaga rivers as well as Tripolitania) after the defeat of the Pompeians and their African al- lies, most prominently Juba I, at Thapsus in 46 BCE. The vast domains that were ac- quired helped the new political concept of Augustus’ principate to satisfy the claims of its followers. The process of full annexation of North Africa finished during the early principate under Emperor Claudius (41–54 CE) when Mauretania became part of the Empire.¹ Scholarship defined the spread of Roman civilization –‘Romanization’–as an acceptance of something like a Roman identity by local populations, or as a phenom- enon of migration.

Pharmacy from Antiquity to the Middle Ages The Alphabet of Galen is a critical edition and English translation of a text describing, in alphabetical order, nearly three hundred natural prod- ucts – including metals, aromatics, animal materials, and herbs – and their medicinal uses. A Latin translation of earlier Greek writings on pharmacy that have not survived, it circulated among collections of ‘authorities’ on medicine, including Hippocrates, Galen of Pergamun, Soranus, and Ps. Apuleius. This work presents interesting linguistic features, including otherwise unattested Greek and Latin technical terms and unique pharmacologi- cal descriptions. Nicholas Everett provides a window onto the medieval translation of ancient science and medieval conceptions of pharmacy. With a comprehensive scholarly apparatus and a contextual introduction, The Alphabet of Galen is a major resource for understanding the richness and diversity of medical history. nicholas everett is an associate professor in the Department of History at the University of Toronto. www.Ebook777.com This page intentionally left blank The Alphabet of Galen.
