By no means all of them, however, were at the outer limits of the realm. The vast and heterogeneous Roman world knew many different types of frontiers, between one province (or indeed one town) and the next, between the Empire and its so-called ‘client kingdoms’, but also at different levels within the realm. Frontiers could exist as physi- cal boundaries, but there were also religious and cultural, administrative and economic, and ideological frontiers. Indeed, individuals within the Empire continuously crossed frontiers, switching between multiple iden- tities such as their being Roman, inhabitant of a town, or member of a specific people. The different ways in which the Roman Empire created, changed and influenced perceptions of frontiers formed the subject of the Ninth Workshop of the International Network Impact of Empire (Roman Em- pire, bc–ad), which was held at Durham University from to April . Neither the workshop nor these proceedings have taken a strict line as to how to define ‘frontiers’. Rather, we hope that the assem- bled articles within this volume illustrate a variety of available approaches and concepts related to ‘Roman frontiers’, going beyond the narrow geo- graphical sense. The volume opens with an introductory section within which the mean- ing of the terms ‘frontier’ and limes, within the context of the empire and the city of Rome, are placed to the fore over a longer period of time. Thus, the paper by John Richardson (Edinburgh University) deals with the changes that took place over time in how fines provinciae were conceived, from the boundaries on the power of Roman magistrates to actual bor- ders of provincial territory, changes which he suggests have not to do with issues of language only, but also with developments in mentality. Like- wise, through his careful analysis of the use of limes in Ammianus Mar- cellinus, Jan Willem Drijvers (Rijksuniversiteit Groningen) distinguishes a range of (changing) meanings for the word, in the process noting how Ted Kaizer and Olivier Hekster - 978-90-04-21503-0 Downloaded from Brill.com05/13/2019 06:30:31AM via free access viii preface Ammianus recognised the frontier region as a contact zone between dif- ferent cultures; a notion to which several other authors return. Finally, Stéphane Benoist (Université Charles-de-Gaulle-Lille III) reflects upon the changing notions of the relationship between the city of Rome and her territory, and the way in which this Empire could be ruled, from the last century of the Republic all the way until the fifth and sixth centuries ad. Again, changing vocabulary denoted changing mentalities, showing developments in how the temporal and spatial limits of Rome were per- ceived over time. A second section looks at the consequences of the presence of Roman (provincial) borders for those living near these frontiers. Indeed, Kate da Costa (University of Sydney) argues that traces of such consequences can be of the utmost importance in defining the spatial limits of territorial provinces. Distortions in distribution patterns of local ceramics, in her view, may well have been caused by customs duty on provincial borders, which would have made it uneconomical to import local ceramics from across borders. By carefully analyzing these patterns, then, one can map the locations of provincial borders. Trade and distribution are also central to the contribution by Dario Nappo (Università di Napoli Federico II & University

  • 1 Gallo-Roman Relations Under the Early Empire by Ryan Walsh A
    Gallo-Roman Relations under the Early Empire By Ryan Walsh A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Ancient Mediterranean Cultures Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2013 © Ryan Walsh 2013 1 Author's Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This paper examines the changing attitudes of Gallo-Romans from the time of Caesar's conquest in the 50s BCE to the start of Vespasian's reign in 70-71 CE and how Roman prejudice shaped those attitudes. I first examine the conflicted opinions of the Gauls in Caesar's time and how they eventually banded together against him but were defeated. Next, the activities of each Julio-Claudian emperor are examined to see how they impacted Gaul and what the Gallo-Roman response was. Throughout this period there is clear evidence of increased Romanisation amongst the Gauls and the prominence of the region is obvious in imperial policy. This changes with Nero's reign where Vindex's rebellion against the emperor highlights the prejudices still effecting Roman attitudes. This only becomes worse in the rebellion of Civilis the next year. After these revolts, the Gallo-Romans appear to retreat from imperial offices and stick to local affairs, likely as a direct response to Rome's rejection of them.

Čeprav je izumiranje vrst naraven proces, je danes jasno, da je človek zaradi netrajnostne rabe naravnih virov to dinamiko popolnoma spremenil. Tako denimo ptice danes izumirajo 25-krat hitreje, kot bi bilo to evolucijsko pričakovano. Že desetletja se človeštvo zaveda, da je biodiverziteta le kazalec stanja naravnih sistemov, brez katerih družba ne bi obstala. Gre za t. i. ekosistemske storitve, koristi, ki jih narava ponuja človeku, a ne zaračunava zanje. Razdelimo jih lahko v štiri kategorije: (1) preskrba – naravni viri, pitna voda, les itd., (2) regulacija – varstvo pred erozijo, poplavami, naravnimi katastrofami, (3) podpora – fotosinteza, proizvodnja kisika, vezava CO2, opraševanje rastlin in (4) kultura – vse možnosti sprostitve, navdiha in regeneracije, ki jih človek išče in najde v naravi. Prekomerno izkoriščanje naravnih ekosistemov prinaša ljudem višji standard, a zmanjšuje dolgoročno preživetje človeške populacije. Številne raziskovalne skupine po vsem svetu se v zadnjem času ukvarjajo s finančnim vrednotenjem teh storitev. Tak pristop utemeljujejo z dejstvom, da vsi ti podporni sistemi prispevajo neposredno in posredno k dobrobiti človeštva in so sestavni del ekonomske vrednosti našega planeta.

Oleson, Department of Greek and Roman Studies Supervisor Dr. Gregory D. Rowe, Department of Greek and Roman Studies Departmental Member During the last stages of the Marcommani Wars in the late second century A.D., Roman literary sources recorded that the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius was planning to annex the Germanic territory of the Marcomannic and Quadic tribes. This work will propose that Marcus Aurelius was going to create a province called Marcomannia. The thesis will be supported by archaeological data originating from excavations in the Roman installation at Mušov, Moravia, Czech Republic. The investigation will examine the history of the non-Roman region beyond the northern Danubian frontier, the character of Roman occupation and creation of other Roman provinces on the Danube, and consult primary sources and modern research on the topic of Roman expansion and empire building during the principate. iv Table of Contents Supervisory Committee .....................................................................................................

  • The Roman Necropolis in Šempeter: the History of Research
    The Roman Necropolis in Šempeter: The History of Research IRENA LAZAR Twelve kilometres west of Celje lies Šempeter, well-known for having the finest preserved Roman monuments in Slovenia. This fertile valley attracted people even in prehistoric times, since the Amber Route (con- necting the Baltic regions rich in amber with the northern Adriatic mar- ket) passed that way. Prehistoric burial mounds are known in Griže and Šešče, while the prehistoric settlement connected with them is found in Langer.1 Prehistoric graves of the Hallstatt period were also discovered in Šempeter in the eastern part of the Roman necropolis, lying beneath the Roman graves.2 During the Roman period members of the civic aristocracy of Celeia owned estates in the valley and erected their tombs in Šempeter. The Ro- man settlement (vicus) was probably situated close by, next to the main road, but little is known of it. Roman remains have been recovered from the surroundings of Šempeter – e. g., from Zgornje Grušovlje, Podlog, Dobrteša vas, Novi Klošter and Gotovlje – but none of these sites has been systematically investigated.3 Nearby, there is also Ločica pri Polzeli, where, at the end of the 2nd century AD, the second Italic legion was stationed.4 Along the valley ran the main Roman road Aquileia–Emona– Celeia–Poetovio, which was partly researched during the excavation of the eastern part of the Šempeter necropolis and by means of topographical surveys.5 In Šempeter itself, a few hundred metres west of the excavated necropolis (near the local railway station), modest late Roman graves and 1 Lojze Bolta, Najstarejša zgodovina Spodnje Savinjske doline, Savinjski zbornik 1, 1959, 103–113: 108.
