Xerox University Microfilms 300 North Zeeb Road Ann Arbor, Michigan 48106 74-10,982 INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. White the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced. 5. PLEASE NOTE: Some pages may have indistinct print. Filmed as received.

Weihnachten 1973 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation is primarily indebted to my adviser, Professor Charles L. Babcock, whose teaching of Tacitus' Annals motivated me to begin this writing. He has consist­ ently contributed personal interest, effort and time to both my graduate career and to this thesis, and more than this, his knowledge and his standards of scholarship have enlivened my interest 'in Classics. I thank him for his patient direction, advice and encouragement at crucial stages of thinking through central points of this thesis and for sharing with me his invaluable insights into the complex work of this author. I am also grateful to my readers on the examination committee. Professor M.P.O. Morford has been a major source of strength necessary to sustain my work and as the reader of this dissertation has with his expert understanding of Tacitus made many perceptive comments and helpful criticism. Professor Carl Schlam made a number of useful sugges­ tions, as the dissertation was in progress, and has pro­ vided encouragement. I also wish to thank my reading com­ mittee once again for recommending stylistic adjustments, and catching with their good ears many of my repetitions and Germanic inconsonances. My gratitude goes to Professor Stanley Kahrl for his support and his willingness to serve on my oral committee. I am grateful to Mrs. R. F. Sapp and Mrs. Martha Coolidge, iii without whose assistance the final draft of this disserta­ tion would have never materialized in time. My very special thanks go once again to chairman Professor Morford and the entire faculty and staff of the Classics department for contributing to make my years of the doctoral program one of the most challenging and one of the most delightful experiences of my life, and with a bold conjecture into Tacitus' Annals I would like to say sine ira [sed magno cum] studio iiia VITA November 28, 1937 Born, Elmshorn, Germany 1964 ...........

Except for Velleius Paterculus, the contempor­ ary and admirer of Tiberius, who writes from the stand­ point of a military equestrian to whom the principate afforded opportunities for advancement and whose enthusi­ asm for the regime is therefore understandable, Suetonius and Dio Cassius are in general.in accordance with Tacitus' gloomy picture of Tiberius. They rank as independent authorities,1 since there is no clear sign that Suetonius uses Tacitus, and Dio Cassius, though he could have used Tacitus, has often more details, which suggests that he went back to sources nearer the events. R. Syme2 con­ cludes that the picture of Tiberius, which reflects in all three authors the same diagnosis, a gradual deterioration in his character and of his reign, has fixed shortly after Tiberius' life-time, and belongs to the consensus of educated opinion, supplemented in Tacitus' account by ^R. Syme, Tacitus, vol. I (Oxford 1958), p. 420. 2Ibid., p. 421. vi documentary evidence and converted into a work of art by his literary techniques. The question is whether this picture is true or whether Tiberius was not a better princeps than tradition has it. Tacitus professes to write sine ira et studio,^- a standard claim in ancient historians, but does he measure up to this ideal or has he fallen into the trap of the consensus on Tiberius? This is one of the central ques­ tions asked about Tacitus in the scholarship in the last century. Tacitus' picture of Tiberius was commonly accepted until the second half of the nineteenth century. Then it was attacked on the basis of the discovery of new evidence, mainly inscriptional, and on the basis of the accepting of a new approach towards historiography’, oriented by factual and impartial information, not by personal inter­ pretation. This prompted a reappraisal of Tacitus' Tiberius with the result that the. balance was tilted in 2 favor of Tiberius against ancient tradition. F. B. Marsh3 admits that Tiberius was unpopular from •^Ann. 1,1. ^Cf. F.R.D. Goodyear, Tacitus, Greece and Rome Surveys (Oxford, 1970), p. 30 ff. 3F. B.

  • Livy's View of the Roman National Character
    James Luce, December 5th, 1993 Livy's View of the Roman National Character As early as 1663, Francis Pope named his plantation, in what would later become Washington, DC, "Rome" and renamed Goose Creek "Tiber", a local hill "Capitolium", an example of the way in which the colonists would draw upon ancient Rome for names, architecture and ideas. The founding fathers often called America "the New Rome", a place where, as Charles Lee said to Patrick Henry, Roman republican ideals were being realized. The Roman historian Livy (Titus Livius, 59 BC-AD 17) lived at the juncture of the breakdown of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman Empire. His 142 book History of Rome from 753 to 9 BC (35 books now extant, the rest epitomes) was one of the most read Latin authors by early American colonists, partly because he wrote about the Roman national character and his unique view of how that character was formed. "National character" is no longer considered a valid term, nations may not really have specific national characters, but many think they do. The ancients believed states or peoples had a national character and that it arose one of 3 ways: 1) innate/racial: Aristotle believed that all non-Greeks were barbarous and suited to be slaves; Romans believed that Carthaginians were perfidious. 2) influence of geography/climate: e.g., that Northern tribes were vigorous but dumb 3) influence of institutions and national norms based on political and family life. The Greek historian Polybios believed that Roman institutions (e.g., division of government into senate, assemblies and magistrates, each with its own powers) made the Romans great, and the architects of the American constitution read this with especial care and interest.

    Dynamics of Religious Ritual: Migration and Adaptation in Early Medieval Britain A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Brooke Elizabeth Creager IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Peter S. Wells August 2019 Brooke Elizabeth Creager 2019 © For my Mom, I could never have done this without you. And for my Grandfather, thank you for showing me the world and never letting me doubt I can do anything. Thank you. i Abstract: How do migrations impact religious practice? In early Anglo-Saxon England, the practice of post-Roman Christianity adapted after the Anglo-Saxon migration. The contemporary texts all agree that Christianity continued to be practiced into the fifth and sixth centuries but the archaeological record reflects a predominantly Anglo-Saxon culture. My research compiles the evidence for post-Roman Christian practice on the east coast of England from cemeteries and Roman churches to determine the extent of religious change after the migration. Using the case study of post-Roman religion, the themes religion, migration, and the role of the individual are used to determine how a minority religion is practiced during periods of change within a new culturally dominant society. ii Table of Contents Abstract …………………………………………………………………………………...ii List of Figures ……………………………………………………………………………iv Preface …………………………………………………………………………………….1 I.

  • 2. Fighting Corruption: Political Thought and Practice in the Late Roman Republic
    2. Fighting Corruption: Political Thought and Practice in the Late Roman Republic Valentina Arena, University College London Introduction According to ancient Roman authors, the Roman Republic fell because of its moral corruption.i Corruption, corruptio in Latin, indicated in its most general connotation the damage and consequent disruption of shared values and practices, which, amongst other facets, could take the form of crimes, such as ambitus (bribery), peculatus (theft of public funds) and res repentundae (maladministration of provinces). To counteract such a state of affairs, the Romans of the late Republic enacted three main categories of anticorruption measures: first, they attempted to reform the censorship instituted in the fifth century as the supervisory body of public morality (cura morum); secondly, they enacted a number of preventive as well as punitive measures;ii and thirdly, they debated and, at times, implemented reforms concerning the senate, the jury courts and the popular assemblies, the proper functioning of which they thought might arrest and reverse the process of corruption and the moral and political decline of their commonwealth. Modern studies concerned with Roman anticorruption measures have traditionally focused either on a specific set of laws, such as the leges de ambitu, or on the moralistic discourse in which they are embedded. Even studies that adopt a holistic approach to this subject are premised on a distinction between the actual measures the Romans put in place to address the problem of corruption and the moral discourse in which they are embedded.iii What these works tend to share is a suspicious attitude towards Roman moralistic discourse on corruption which, they posit, obfuscates the issue at stake and has acted as a hindrance to the eradication of this phenomenon.iv Roman analysis of its moral decline was not only the song of the traditional laudator temporis acti, but rather, I claim, included, alongside traditional literary topoi, also themes of central preoccupation to Classical political thought.

  • Getting to Know Martial
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-82822-2 - Martial’s Rome: Empire and the Ideology of Epigram Victoria Rimell Excerpt More information introduction Getting to know Martial tu causa es, lector amice, mihi, qui legis et tota cantas mea carmina Roma. Ep. ..– Think back. It’s the mid-nineties. We are on the brink of a new century, and are living and breathing the ‘New Age’ people have been preaching about since the eighties. Thanks to more efficient communication, and the regularising machine of empire, the world seems to have got smaller, and more and more provincials are gravitating towards the sprawling, crowded metropolis, all manically networking to win the same few jobs (they all want to be ‘socialites’, or ‘artists’). Many of us are richer and more mobile than ever, but arguably have less freedom. Modern life is a struggle, it seems – it’s dog eat dog in the urban jungle, and those who can’t keep up the pace soon become victims (actually, being a ‘victim’ is the in thing). ‘Reality’ is the hottest show in town: we’re done with drama and fantasy, as amateur theatrics and seeing people actually suffer is such a blast (as well as being a really ‘ironic’ creative experiment). This is a culture that has long realised Warhol’s prophecy, where everyone wants their bite of the fame cherry, but where fame itself is a dirty shadow of what it used to be. The young recall nothing but peace, yet fierce wars still bristle at the world’s edges, and even as the concrete keeps rising, a smog of instability and malaise lingers.

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 .....................................................................................................

  • Apuntes Para Una Historiografía De La Arqueología En La Ciudad De Guadix (Granada)
    Apuntes para una historiografía de la arqueología en la ciudad de Guadix (Granada). Entre los mitos y la realidad Antonio López García* y Antonio Reyes Martínez** * Real Academia de España en Roma **LAAC (Laboratorio de Arqueología y arquitectura de la ciudad. Granada) 1. La Historiografía de Guadix La ciudad de Guadix se sitúa al Noreste de la provincia de Granada y actualmente es la cabecera comarcal de un territorio del que forman parte 32 municipios. Desde el punto de vista geográfico la ciudad se sitúa en una de las hoyas que conforman la cadena de depresiones que se intercalan en las Cordilleras Béticas y está circundada por Sierra Nevada, la Sierra de Baza, Sierra Arana y el Mencal. Su altitud media, próxima a los 950 metros, que le da ese carácter de altiplanicie. Esta zona reúne en una escasa franja territorial gran cantidad de yacimientos arqueológicos que arrancan desde la Prehistoria y cuyo fulgurante pasado llamó tempranamente la atención de los investigadores, especialmente desde el siglo XVI hasta la actualidad. Fray Diego de Guadix (Moreno 2007) es uno de estos primeros autores que analiza con cierto detenimiento la historia de Guadix en su famoso diccionario de arabismos de 1593. El profundo conocimiento que este franciscano posee sobre Guadix se explica por ser su ciudad natal y el lugar en el que vivió parte de su vida como religioso. A partir de este momento encontrarnos citas, descripciones, alusiones e interpretaciones más o menos extensas sobre Guadix, procedentes de viajeros, geógrafos, historiadores y eruditos en general, que con mayor o menor fortuna tratan de analizar la historia de Guadix basado en el puzle compuesto por epígrafes, monedas, cerámicas, restos arqueológicos en general o citas de escritores latinos y árabes.

  • Mapping Ancient Germania
    Mapping Ancient Germania Berlin Researchers Crack the Ptolemy Code By Matthias Schulz , 10/01/2010 A 2nd century map of Germania by the scholar Ptolemy has always stumped scholars, who were unable to relate the places depicted to known settlements. Now a team of researchers have cracked the code, revealing that half of Germany's cities are 1,000 years older than previously thought. The founding of Rome has been pinpointed to the year 753. For the city of St. Petersburg, records even indicate the precise day the first foundation stone was laid. Historians don't have access to this kind of precision when it comes to German cities like Hanover, Kiel or Bad Driburg. The early histories of nearly all the German cities east of the Rhine are obscure, and the places themselves are not mentioned in documents until the Middle Ages. So far, no one has been able to date the founding of these cities. Our ancestors' lack of education is to blame for this dearth of knowledge. Germanic tribes certainly didn't run land survey offices -- they couldn't even write. Inhabitants this side of the Rhine -- the side the Romans never managed to occupy permanently -- used only a clumsy system of runes. According to the Roman historian Tacitus, people here lived in thatched huts and dugout houses, subsisting on barley soup and indulging excessively in dice games. Not much more is known, as there are next to no written records of life within the barbarians' lands. Astonishing New Map That may now be changing. A group of classical philologists, mathematical historians and surveying experts at Berlin Technical University's Department for Geodesy and Geoinformation Science has produced an astonishing map of central Europe as it was 2,000 years ago.

As regards the first of these the information given enables us to determine the year with practical certainty, the month and the day can be arrived at only approximately. The second is closely related to the time when John the Baptist began his work as forerunner, a year which is definitely known. How soon after John's appearance our Lord began His ministry is somewhat uncertain.

  • CHAPTER ONE — Aspects of Political and Social Developments in Germania and Scandinavia During the Roman Iron Age
    CHAPTER ONE — Aspects of Political and Social Developments in Germania and Scandinavia during the Roman Iron Age 1.1 Rome & Germania 1.1.1 Early Romano-Germanic Relations It is unclear when a people who may be fairly labelled ‘Germanic’ first appeared. Dates as early as the late Neolithic or early Bronze Ages have been suggested.1 A currently popular theory identifies the earliest Germanic peoples as participants in the Jastorf superculture which emerged c. 500 bc,2 though recent linguistic research on early relations between Finno-Ugric and Germanic languages argues the existence of Bronze-Age Germanic dialects.3 Certainly, however, it may be said that ‘Germanic’ peoples existed by the final centuries bc, when classical authors began to record information about them. A fuller analysis of early Germanic society and Romano-Germanic relations would far outstrip this study’s limits,4 but several important points may be touched upon. For the Germanic peoples, Rome could be both an enemy and an ideal—often both at the same time. The tensions created by such contrasts played an important role in shaping Germanic society and ideology. Conflict marked Romano-Germanic relations from the outset. Between 113 and 101 bc, the Cimbri and Teutones, tribes apparently seeking land on which to settle, proved an alarmingly serious threat to Rome.5 It is unclear whether these tribes 1Lothar Killian, Zum Ursprung der Indogermanen: Forschungen aus Linguistik, Prähistorie und Anthropologie, 2nd edn, Habelt Sachbuch, 3 (Bonn: Habelt, 1988); Lothar Killian, Zum Ursprung der Germanen, Habelt Sachbuch, 4 (Bonn: Habelt, 1988). 2Todd, pp. 10, 26; Mark B.

  • Expulsion from the Senate of the Roman Republic, C.319–50 BC
    Ex senatu eiecti sunt: Expulsion from the Senate of the Roman Republic, c.319–50 BC Lee Christopher MOORE University College London (UCL) PhD, 2013 1 Declaration I, Lee Christopher MOORE, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Thesis abstract One of the major duties performed by the censors of the Roman Republic was that of the lectio senatus, the enrolment of the Senate. As part of this process they were able to expel from that body anyone whom they deemed unequal to the honour of continued membership. Those expelled were termed ‘praeteriti’. While various aspects of this important and at-times controversial process have attracted scholarly attention, a detailed survey has never been attempted. The work is divided into two major parts. Part I comprises four chapters relating to various aspects of the lectio. Chapter 1 sees a close analysis of the term ‘praeteritus’, shedding fresh light on senatorial demographics and turnover – primarily a demonstration of the correctness of the (minority) view that as early as the third century the quaestorship conveyed automatic membership of the Senate to those who held it. It was not a Sullan innovation. In Ch.2 we calculate that during the period under investigation, c.350 members were expelled. When factoring for life expectancy, this translates to a significant mean lifetime risk of expulsion: c.10%. Also, that mean risk was front-loaded, with praetorians and consulars significantly less likely to be expelled than subpraetorian members.
