  • Bethesda) Sarcophagus of Bassa Dennis Trout
    AUTHOR’S COPY | AUTORENEXEMPLAR 10. Borrowed Verse and Broken Narrative: Agency, Identity, and the (Bethesda) Sarcophagus of Bassa Dennis Trout Sometime in the late fourth century, a young woman named Bassa was laid to rest in the Catacomb of Praetextatus near the Appian Way, roughly two kilometres outside Rome’s Aurelian walls. Bassa’s marble sarcophagus – ravaged and scattered in time by vandalism and landslide but reassembled in the early twentieth century (Figure 10.1) – now stands in the handbooks as an (anomalous) example of the so- called Bethesda type.1 Thirteen other representatives of this sarcophagus group are currently known and each of these thirteen, as far as can be determined, presents the same five New Testament scenes in the same order.2 In every case, as illustrated by well-preserved examples from the Vatican cemetery and the Cathedral of Tarragona (figs. 2 and 3),3 a central tableau arranged in two registers portrays (at least in its upper half) an episode from the Gospel of John in which Jesus heals a paralytic at Jerusalem’s pool of Bethesda (Jn 5.1–9). On either side of this central panel appear four other standard scenes, two on each side, and these also reference 1 On the catacomb see Spera 2004 and Spera 2006. More than thirty fragments of Bassa’s sarcophagus were collected throughout Praetextatus in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Because this catacomb was significantly disturbed by ancient depredations as well as subsequent landslides and looting, it is now impossible to determine with any certainty Bassa’s original burial spot within the complex, though the recorded find spots make regions D and F in the NW sector of the catacomb likely: for a synopsis see Mazzei 2004, 112–113.

  • A Roman in Name Only’, Eras Edition 13, Issue 2, June 2012
    Dustin Cranford, ‘A Roman in Name Only’, Eras Edition 13, Issue 2, June 2012 A Roman in Name Only: An Onomastic Study of Cultural Assimilation and Integration in Roman Spain Dustin Cranford (The University of North Carolina at Greensboro, NC, USA) Abstract: This paper studies the evolution of naming practices in Roman Spain as way to measure the limits of Romanization and determine the persistence of the indigenous culture. Onomastic evidence suggests that the indigenous population actively integrated itself into the Roman culture on its own terms, taking and leaving aspects of the Roman nomenclature at will in order to display romanitas, or Romanness. Upon close inspection, the names of many Hispano-Romans reveal a population that exhibited volition and agency in the process of Romanization. Variations in Roman naming components (e.g. voting tribes, filiations, tria nomina, etc.) show a selective adoption of the Roman nomenclature, while indigenous stems point to the persistence of many aspects of the indigenous culture. While there are many definitions and theories to Romanization, this study adopts what Leonard Curchin has described as the Integration Model, where the exchange between the Roman and indigenous culture produces a third, hybrid culture, or a provincial culture. Naming customs in Roman Spain point to the emergence of this provincial culture, one that adopted many features of Roman society, but equally preserved aspects of native Iberian customs. This study will explore various aspects of this topic, including the history of Roman Spain, the various parts of Roman nomenclature, and the actual onomastic evidence found in the Spanish provinces.

  • Keltic Researches; Studies in the History and Distribution of the Ancient Goidelic Language and Peoples
    KeZcic ReseocRches * STUDIES IN THE HISTORY AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE ANCIENT GOIDELIC LANGUAGE AND PEOPLES BY EDWARD WILLIAMS BYRON NICHOLSON, M.A. bodley's librarian in the- university of oxford FELLOW OF THE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION HONORARY MEMBER OF THE CALEDONIAN MEDICAL SOCIETY LONDON: HENRY FROWDE OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS WAREHOUSE, AMEN CORNER, E.C. NEW YORK: 91 & 93 Fifth Avenue 1904 REESE To THE MEMORY OF HENRY BrADSHAW late Librarian of the University of Cambridge whose discovery of the book of deer and whose palaeographical and critical genius have permanently enriched keltic studies OXFORD : HORACE HART PRINTER TO THE UNIVERSITY PREFACE The history of ancient and early mediaeval times requires to a far greater extent than more recent history the aid of various other sciences, not the least of which is the science of language. And, although the first object of these Studies was to demonstrate to specialists various unrecognized or imperfectly recognized linguistic facts, the importance of those facts in themselves is much less than that of their historical consequences. The main historical result of this book is the settlement of 1 or of the Pictish the Pictish question ', rather two questions. ' The first of these is What kind of language did the Picts speak?*. The second is 'Were the Picts conquered by the Scots?'. The first has been settled by linguistic and palaeographical methods only : it has been shown that Pictish was a language virtually identical with Irish, differing from that far less than the dialects of some English counties differ from each other. The second has been settled, with very little help from language, by historical and textual methods : it has been made abundantly clear, I think, to any person of impartial and critical mind that the supposed conquest of the Picts by the Scots is an absurd myth.

And I would not have started this course, without the guidance and the encouragement of Prof. Eleni Karamalengou and Prof. Stratis Kyriakidis.
