RIGHT Honorable, hauing newly finished a Treatise of the long Voyages of our Nation made into the Leuant within the Streight of Gibraltar, and from thence ouer-land to the South and Southeast parts of the world, all circumstances considered, I found none to whom I thought it fitter to bee presented then to your selfe: wherein hauing begun at the highest Antiquities of this realme vnder the gouerment of the Romans ; next vnder the Saxons and thirdly ; since the conquest vnder the Normans, I haue continued the histories vnto these our dayes. The time of the Romans affoordeth small matter. But after that they were called hence by forren inuasions of their Empire, and the Saxons by degrees became lords in this Hand, and shortly after receiued the Christian faith, they did not onely trauell to Rome, but passed further vnto Jerusalem, and therewith not contented, Sigelmus bishop of Shirebume in Dorcetshire caried the almes of king Alfred euen to the Sepulcher of S. Thomas in India, (which ^jlace at this day is called Maliapor) and brought from thence most fragrant spices, and rich iewels into England : which iewels, as Dtdkalivn to First Edition.

    Lucan’s Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: Catherine Connors, Chair Alain Gowing Stephen Hinds Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Classics © Copyright 2014 Laura Zientek University of Washington Abstract Lucan’s Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Catherine Connors Department of Classics This dissertation is an analysis of the role of landscape and the natural world in Lucan’s Bellum Civile. I investigate digressions and excurses on mountains, rivers, and certain myths associated aetiologically with the land, and demonstrate how Stoic physics and cosmology – in particular the concepts of cosmic (dis)order, collapse, and conflagration – play a role in the way Lucan writes about the landscape in the context of a civil war poem. Building on previous analyses of the Bellum Civile that provide background on its literary context (Ahl, 1976), on Lucan’s poetic technique (Masters, 1992), and on landscape in Roman literature (Spencer, 2010), I approach Lucan’s depiction of the natural world by focusing on the mutual effect of humanity and landscape on each other. Thus, hardships posed by the land against characters like Caesar and Cato, gloomy and threatening atmospheres, and dangerous or unusual weather phenomena all have places in my study. I also explore how Lucan’s landscapes engage with the tropes of the locus amoenus or horridus (Schiesaro, 2006) and elements of the sublime (Day, 2013).

  • L'espace Politique Du Détroit De Gibraltar Sous Le Haut-Empire Romain
    L’espace poLITIQUE DU DÉTROIT DE GIBRALTAR SOUS LE HAUT-EMPIRE ROMAIn : LA DÉSAGRÉGATIon du CERCLE DU DÉTROIT OU L’appartenance à un horIzon stratégIQUE COMMun ? Gwladys Bernard* La naissance et la signification économique du concept de Cercle du Détroit ayant déjà fait l’objet de plusieurs mises au point au cœur même de cet ouvrage, nous nous attacherons surtout à éclairer la question de la pertinence et du devenir de ce fameux Cercle du Détroit à l’époque romaine. Pour certains chercheurs inspirés par les travaux de M. Tarradell, des relations circulaires auraient existé entre les deux rives de la Méditerranée extrême-occidentale aux époques phénicienne et punique, mais l’emprise de Rome sur la région aurait perturbé, puis conduit ces échanges à la désagrégation1. Pour d’autres archéologues au contraire, les relations particulières entre l’Hispanie et la Maurétanie occidentale se seraient maintenues jusqu’à la fin de l’Antiquité2. Dès les années 1960, M.Tarradell a employé cette expression de Círculo del Estrecho, que l’historiographie française a d’abord traduite par l’expression de Circuit du Détroit (au lieu de la traduction plus littérale de Cercle du Détroit), pour décrire les relations commerciales intenses unissant les deux rives du Détroit à partir du VIe siècle avant J.-C.3. Cette expression a connu par la suite une large postérité, jusqu’à devenir le nom du groupe de recherche de l’université de Cadix, qui se consacre aujourd’hui à ces questions4. L’idée majeure du Circuit ou Cercle du Détroit est celle d’une unité économique et commerciale, voire politique et administrative, entre Gadir-Gades et ses relais hispaniques et maurétaniens.

AUTHOR OF MODERN AND ANTJENT GEOGRAPHY FOR THE USE OF SCHOOLS. STEREOTYPED BY J. HOWE. PHILADELPHIA: BLANQHARD AND LEA. 1851. G- PREFATORY NOTE INDEX OF DR. BUTLER'S ANTIENT ATLAS. It is to be observed in this Index, which is made for the sake of complete and easy refer- ence to the Maps, that the Latitude and Longitude of Rivers, and names of Countries, are given from the points where their names happen to be written in the Map, and not from any- remarkable point, such as their source or embouchure. The same River, Mountain, or City &c, occurs in different Maps, but is only mentioned once in the Index, except very large Rivers, the names of which are sometimes repeated in the Maps of the different countries to which they belong. The quantity of the places mentioned has been ascertained, as far as was in the Author's power, with great labor, by reference to the actual authorities, either Greek prose writers, (who often, by the help of a long vowel, a diphthong, or even an accent, afford a clue to this,) or to the Greek and Latin poets, without at all trusting to the attempts at marking the quantity in more recent works, experience having shown that they are extremely erroneous.

We apply a combination of several old and new techniques ranging from tradi- tional toponymic analysis to novel modifications of cluster analysis. Our hybrid human- machine method demonstrates that Ptolemy’s information on West Africa is a compilation of data from three or more sources, including at least one version or derivative of The Periplus of Hanno. The newest iteration adds data for three more provinces of Ptolemy’s Libya — Mauretania Caesariensis, Africa and Aethiopia Interior— to Mauretania Tingitana and Libya Interior investigated in an earlier, unpublished version of the work that the late Lyudmila Filatova had contributed to as the founder of our multi-year project. The surviv- ing co-authors used their newest digital analysis methods (triangulation and flocking with Bayesian correction) and took into account their recent finds on Ptolemy’s Sinae (Guinea/Senegal, where Ptolemy had placed fish-eating Aethiopians). We discuss some of the weaknesses and fallacies of the earlier approaches to the problem.

  • 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.

Più precisa­ mente 400 iscrizioni ricordano Settimio Severo, 640 Caracalla, 230 Geta, 150 Giulia Dom­ na, 50 Elagabalo e 90 Severo Alessandro, il che rappresenta oltre il 30 % dell'intera docu­ mentazione epigrafica riferita ai Severi che ci è pervenuta. Particolarmente significativo ap­ pare il dato riferito ai soli Caracalla e Geta, che hanno nel Nord Africa (con ben 862 iscri­ zioni) oltre un terzo della documentazione proveniente da tutto l'impero romano, che è di almeno 2344 iscrizioni (di cui 1785 per il solo Caracalla).

FERNÁNDEZ URIEL (dirs.), Historia de Melilla (=Colección Historia de Melilla 17), Melilla, 2005, 167-189 Un hallazgo imprevisto En una de las salas que alojan la excelente colección de vasos griegos del Museo Arqueológico Nacional de Madrid, una vitrina alberga un conjunto de figuras de ba- rro cocido con formas animales. En ese grupo exquisito se encuentra una pequeña terracota que representa un delfín sobre las olas que aún conserva intactas unas pin- celadas de pintura roja. El reverso, menos cuidado, tiene un asa y debajo un pequeño recipiente para recoger el líquido que entrará en el interior por cinco agujeros y fluirá después por la boca del cetáceo. Ningún letrero indica la procedencia, pero sin lugar a dudas es una pieza hallada en Melilla. 1 Esta constatación ha sido meramente casual. En su ya clásico Melilla Prehispánica R. Fernández de Castro señala que fueron remitidas unas ánforas y otras cerámicas al Museo Arqueológico Nacional en 1904 y 1908; el interés por ellas me llevó a encontrar en dicha institución la preceptiva copia realizada con papel carbón de una carta de 1905 remitida al Presidente de la Junta del Puerto pidiendo precisiones sobre las condiciones del hallazgo de las piezas que recién habían ingresado en el Museo. Se enumeran nueve en el escrito, casi todas ellas eran similares a las que se conservan en el Museo de la Ciudad, ánforas, jarras, brazaletes de cobre, etc., menos la que se relaciona en cuarto lugar: “un vaso en forma de delfín”, que es el que a continuación se localizó entre las otras figuras de animales expuestas (Fig.

MDCCCXXXV. o, 19 74 ' ENTERED IN STATIONERS’ HALL. TweeddalePrinted Court, by High Oliver Street, & Boyd, Edinburgh. PREFACE. This Volume completes the plan, originally formed by the Publishers of the Edinburgh Cabinet Li- brary, for illustrating the History, the Antiquities, and the Present Condition of Africa. In the first instance, they drew the attention of their readers to the progress of Discovery in that vast continent; describing the natural features of its seve- ral kingdoms, the social state of its people, and there- by bringing into one view all that appeared valuable in the observations of those travellers, whether in ancient or modern times, who have sought to ex- plore the remote recesses of its interior. They next made it their endeavour to collect, within a narrow compass, all that is known respecting Egypt, Nu- bia, and Abyssinia,—those countries so full of inte- rest to the scholar and the antiquary, and which are universally acknowledged to have been the cradle of the arts, so far as the elements of these were com- municated to the inhabitants of Europe. The Work now presented to the Public has for its obiect an historical outline of those remarkable provinces which stretch along the southern shores of the Mediterranean, during the successive periods when they were occupied by the Phoenicians, the Romans, the Vandals, the Arabs, and the Moors ; as well as a delineation of their condition since they acknowledged the dominion of the Porte.
