  • Cgpt1; MAGNA GERMANIA; CLAUDIUS PTOLEMY BOOK 2, CHAPTER 10; FACT OR FICTION
    cgPt1; MAGNA GERMANIA; CLAUDIUS PTOLEMY BOOK 2, CHAPTER 10; FACT OR FICTION SYNOPSIS The locations of some +8000 settlements and geographical features are included within the text of Claudius Ptolemy‟s „Geographia‟. To control the text and ensure readers understood the methodology there-in utilised it is evident that Claudius Ptolemy determined a strict order and utilisation of the information he wished to disseminate. That strict methodology is maintained through the first 9 chapters of Book 2, but the 10th chapter breaks all of the rules that had been established. Chapters 11 to 15 then return to the established pattern. Magna Germania was basically unknown territory and in such a situation Claudius Ptolemy was able to ignore any necessity to guess thus leaving an empty landscape as is evinced in Book 3, chapter 5, Sarmatian Europe. Why in an unknown land there are 94 settlements indicated in Germania when the 3 provinces of Gallia have only a total of 114 settlements, is a mystery? And, why does Claudius Ptolemy not attribute a single settlement to a tribal group? It appears there are other factors at play, which require to be investigated. BASIC PTOLEMY When analysing a map drawn from the data provided by Claudius Ptolemy it is first necessary to ensure that it is segregated into categories. Those are; 1) reliable information i.e. probably provided via the Roman Army Cosmographers and Geometres; 2) the former information confirmed or augmented by various itineraries or from Bematists; 3) the possibility of latitudinal measurements from various settlements (gnomon ratios); 4) basic travellers tales with confirmed distances „a pied‟; 5) basic sailing distances along coastlines and those which can be matched to land distances; 6) guesses made by travellers who did not actually record the days travelled but only the length of time for the overall journey; 7) obscure references from ancient texts which cannot be corroborated.

    DENMARK IN THE EARLY IRON AGE PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Conrad Engelhardt | none | 26 Apr 2016 | Palala Press | 9781354645406 | English | United States Denmark in the Early Iron Age PDF Book The Germans threatened to bomb Copenhagen and so the Danes surrendered. During the war the British navy tried to stop France importing war materials so they stopped and searched vessels from neutral countries. Women in Denmark were granted the right to vote. At the same time the Romans invaded large parts of western Europe. Clearance cairn fields are characterized by a lack of internal boundaries, the usual evidence of a permanent arable field. In southern Scandinavia, the late pre-Roman Iron Age was characterized by woodlands that expanded at the expense of open land pastures, arable land. Title: Denmark in the early iron age Item Condition: New. When an individual house went out of use, it was torn down and moved to another site within the village territory. Indeed, perhaps the only passage in the book bearing on it is a footnote, in which it is stated that Dr. Many house structures are contemporary with the field clearance cairns. They were mostly comprised of long timber structures, similar to the longhouses built by the Vikings, and were home to large families and kinships. Was it murder? This first part of the Iron age, the pre- roman Iron age, is very rare in archaeological finds, this is mostly due to the continuation of the cremation tradition as the pre-dominant burial rite from the later bronze age until at least the earliest roman iron age around AD.

  • Jordanes and the Invention of Roman-Gothic History Dissertation
    Empire of Hope and Tragedy: Jordanes and the Invention of Roman-Gothic History Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Brian Swain Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Timothy Gregory, Co-advisor Anthony Kaldellis Kristina Sessa, Co-advisor Copyright by Brian Swain 2014 Abstract This dissertation explores the intersection of political and ethnic conflict during the emperor Justinian’s wars of reconquest through the figure and texts of Jordanes, the earliest barbarian voice to survive antiquity. Jordanes was ethnically Gothic - and yet he also claimed a Roman identity. Writing from Constantinople in 551, he penned two Latin histories on the Gothic and Roman pasts respectively. Crucially, Jordanes wrote while Goths and Romans clashed in the imperial war to reclaim the Italian homeland that had been under Gothic rule since 493. That a Roman Goth wrote about Goths while Rome was at war with Goths is significant and has no analogue in the ancient record. I argue that it was precisely this conflict which prompted Jordanes’ historical inquiry. Jordanes, though, has long been considered a mere copyist, and seldom treated as an historian with ideas of his own. And the few scholars who have treated Jordanes as an original author have dampened the significance of his Gothicness by arguing that barbarian ethnicities were evanescent and subsumed by the gravity of a Roman political identity. They hold that Jordanes was simply a Roman who can tell us only about Roman things, and supported the Roman emperor in his war against the Goths.

  • On Three Spearheads with Decorated Blades from the South-Eastern Periphery of the Alps
    On three spearheads with decorated blades from the south-eastern periphery of the Alps By Andrej Gaspari and Boštjan Laharnar Keywords: Late La Tène period / Late pre-Roman Iron Age / spearheads / Slovenia / Mokronog group / Taurisci / Cimbri / Oksywie culture / Przeworsk culture / Oppida culture Schlagwörter: Spätlatènezeit / späte vorrömische Eisenzeit / Speerspitzen / Slowenien / Mokro- nog Gruppe / Taurisker / Kimbern / Oksywie Kultur / Przeworsk Kultur / Oppida Kultur Mots-clés: La Tène tardif / époque pre-romaine tardive / fers de lance / Slovénie / groupe Mokronog / Taurisci / Cimbri / culture Oksywie / culture Przeworsk / culture d'oppida Introduction The regions inhabited by the south-eastern Alpine cultural groups of the La Tène period revealed relatively rare objects that could be brought into connection with either the influence or presence of the peoples from northern Europe. They include three stray finds of spearheads with decorated blades, one found at Britof near Kranj and two in the Ljubljanica riverbed (fig. 1). These will be discussed in greater detail below by taking a closer look at how their dec- oration was executed and where to find their closest parallels, in an attempt to establish their spatial and historical context. The Britof spearhead has close similarities to finds from Pomer- ania and eastern Scandinavia, which indicates its most probable origin in the area of the Oksy- wie culture of the late part of the pre-Roman Iron Age. The two spearheads from the Ljubljan- ica are of a rare form, but similar to those in use across wide areas between the south-western edges of the Alps and the southern coast of the Baltic Sea. Both objects are most likely the products of the La Tène culture workshops, but draw their geometric and sunken scale deco- ration from the array of designs on the spearheads characteristic of the Przeworsk and Oksy- wie cultures.

  • The Cimbri of Denmark, the Norse and Danish Vikings, and Y-DNA Haplogroup R-S28/U152 - (Hypothesis A)
    The Cimbri of Denmark, the Norse and Danish Vikings, and Y-DNA Haplogroup R-S28/U152 - (Hypothesis A) David K. Faux The goal of the present work is to assemble widely scattered facts to accurately record the story of one of Europe’s most enigmatic people of the early historic era – the Cimbri. To meet this goal, the present study will trace the antecedents and descendants of the Cimbri, who reside or resided in the northern part of the Jutland Peninsula, in what is today known as the County of Himmerland, Denmark. It is likely that the name Cimbri came to represent the peoples of the Cimbric Peninsula and nearby islands, now called Jutland, Fyn and so on. Very early (3rd Century BC) Greek sources also make note of the Teutones, a tribe closely associated with the Cimbri, however their specific place of residence is not precisely located. It is not until the 1st Century AD that Roman commentators describe other tribes residing within this geographical area. At some point before 500 AD, there is no further mention of the Cimbri or Teutones in any source, and the Cimbric Cheronese (Peninsula) is then called Jutland. As we shall see, problems in accomplishing this task are somewhat daunting. For example, there are inconsistencies in datasources, and highly conflicting viewpoints expressed by those interpreting the data. These difficulties can be addressed by a careful sifting of diverse material that has come to light largely due to the storehouse of primary source information accessed by the power of the Internet. Historical, archaeological and genetic data will be integrated to lift the veil that has to date obscured the story of the Cimbri, or Cimbrian, peoples.

  • Χρονολόγηση 1St-16Th Century
    IΔΡΥΜA ΜΕΙΖΟΝΟΣ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΣΜΟΥ Συγγραφή : Kazanski Michel Μετάφραση : Μακρυπούλιας Χρήστος Για παραπομπή : Kazanski Michel , "Goths", Εγκυκλοπαίδεια Μείζονος Ελληνισμού, Εύξεινος Πόντος URL: <http://www.ehw.gr/l.aspx?id=12394> Περίληψη : The Goths were a Germanic people who, according to the historian Jordanes, migrated in the first century from Scandinavia to the Vistula valley. After the third century they were divided by the river Dniester into eastern (Visigoths) and western (Ostrogoths). The Visigoths advanced as far as Spain and founded a kingdom there with its capital at Toledo, while the Ostrogoths, led by Theodoric Amal, founded a kingdom in Italy with its capital at Ravena, a kingdom destroyed by emperor Justinian I in 555. Χρονολόγηση 1st-16th century 1. The origins of the Goths The Goths represent a group of people speaking an East Germanic language, known in Roman antiquity and throughout the High Middle Ages. According to a legend reported by the historian Jordanes (sixth century), the Goths originally came from Scandinavia. In fact, this legend is rather telling the story of the charismatic Amal dynasty. In the first century A.D. the Goths, according to the testimony of Tacitus, lived in Central Europe, where archaeologist have identified as Gothic the “Wielbark culture”, in the Vistula basin and the south Baltic Sea coast. Apart from Goths, this culture also included other East Germanic people, such as Gepids, Heruls etc. 2. Expansion of the Goths During the second half of the second century/first half of the third century, the carriers of the “Wielbark culture”advanced along the Western Bug towards the territories of modern Belarus and the Ukraine.

  • Czarnecka “Brothers-In-Arms”? Graves from the Pre-Roman Period Furnished with a Double Set of Weaponry
    II. BARBARIAN WARRIORS FROM THE BALTIC TO THE DANUBE BROTHERS-IN-ARMS? GRAVES FROM 8 BALTICA THE PRE-ROMAN PERIOD FURNISHED WITH A DOUBLE SET OF WEAPONRY KATARZYNA CZARNECKA ARCHAEOLOGIA Abstract Graves of two warriors equipped with rich sets of weapons, emerge on the Celtic territories from the early La Tène period till the end of phase D2. Graves with double sets of weapons (one and two-edged swords) placed in metal vessels are known from the apparently Germanic cultures of northern Europe. Celtic graves are evident burials of two (or more) persons, warriors of similar status expressed by analogous weaponry. “Germanic” Oksywie Culture, and Scandinavian finds are burials of individual persons, II notable warriors, who were given special sets of weapons to show their social position.

  • Barbarian Migrations and the Roman West, 376–568
    This page intentionally left blank Barbarian Migrations and the Roman West, 376–568 This is a major new survey of the barbarian migrations and their role in the fall of the Roman Empire and the creation of early medieval Europe, one of the key events in European history. Unlike previous studies it integrates historical and archaeological evidence and discusses Britain, Ireland, mainland Europe and North Africa, demonstrating that the Roman Empire and its neighbours were inextricably linked. A narrative account of the turbulent fifth and early sixth centuries is followed by a description of society and politics during the migration period and an analysis of the mecha- nisms of settlement and the changes of identity. Guy Halsall reveals that the creation and maintenance of kingdoms and empires was impossible without the active involvement of people in the com- munities of Europe and North Africa. He concludes that, contrary to most opinions, the fall of the Roman Empire produced the barbarian migrations, not vice versa. guy halsall is Professor of History at the University of York. His recent publications include Settlement and Social Organization (Cambridge, 1995) and Humour, History and Politics in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages (Cambridge, 2002). Cambridge Medieval Textbooks This is a series of introductions to important topics in medieval history aimed primarily at advanced students and faculty, and is designed to complement the monograph series Cambridge Studies in Medieval Life and Thought. It includes both chronological and the- matic approaches and addresses both British and European topics. For a list of titles in the series, see end of book.
