Onomastics, Lexicon, and Languages in Contact in Ancient Italy: Latin and Sabellic names with /Op-/ and /Ops-/* 1. A series of personal names, namely praenomina (P) and gentilicia (G), aested in Latin and in Sabellic languages, have in common a first syllable /Op-/ and /Ops-/, which may be recognized as underlying the different spellings aested in the epigraphical texts as well as in the Latin literary sources. e dossier shows a considerable variety of form- ations, which for most of them display current derivative suffixes, some of them charac- teristically onomastic. In any case, some of the forms aested reflect an odd combination of current suffixes while other names simply remain obscure. e basic form underlying the different types that may be stated using a first, purely formal approach, are as in Table I, which includes Latin and Sabellic names successively in alphabetical order. Lat. Opellius (§ .) Lat. Opiter (P) (: Ὀπίτερος § .) Lat. Opsturius (G) and probably Ostorius, Ostorius (§ ) Lat. ᾿Οπίτωρ (P), Ὀπιτώριος (G) (§ .) O. ouries (G) /Opto:r-/ (: Optorius) (§ .) O. úpfals-, ufal(i)ies (G) /Opfals-/ (: Ofalius, Ofel(l)ius, Offelius, § ) O. oπιεσ (G) (§ .), úppiis… (P) /Opijo-/ (: Oppius) O. upils, úpil (P) /Opi(:)lo-/ (: Opillus), O. úpiḷ[iú]m (G) /Opi(:)l-ijo-/, O. úp]illiunị s-̣ (G) /Opi(:)lio:n-ijo-/ (§ .) O. úpsim, οψιον (P), úpsiis, úpsim, úpsiiúí (G) /Opsijo-/ (: Opsius) (§ ) Table 1: Latin and Sabellic names in Op-, Ops- NB. Latin forms matching Sabellic names are given in brackets. is is simply a statement of facts and does not mean that this is necessarily a Sabellic form in Latin. e aim of this article is to establish the appurtenance of each of the different types to one (or, in some cases, more than one) lexical item, and to determine their types of formation and, eventually, their meanings. Τwo points must be stressed at the outset. First, purely formal similarity does not prove etymological connection or common belonging to the same lexeme: this is the case in e.g. Lat. Opiter and ᾿Οπίτωρ (§§ , .) or in Lat. Opstorius, Ostorius (§§ , ) and O. ouries (: Optorius). Secondly, it is obvious that the status of the person bearing the name within the society, his geographical origin and its implications * It is a pleasant duty to express my gratitude to Alan J. Nussbaum and Michael Weiss (Cornell) for their remarks and criticism, as well as to Karolina Gierej and especially Lena Wolberg (Köln) for their invaluable help in the material preparation of the manuscript. Torsten M (ed): Personal Names in the Western Roman World, Studies in Classical and Comparative Onomastics 1, (Berlin: 2012): pp. 109–123. José L. García Ramón in all respects are certainly of interest for the synchronic connections in the Roman and Italic history. However, these aspects have nothing to do with (and are of no help for) the etymology and with the linguistic characterization of the name. 2. A theoretical starting point of this research is the rejection of the wide-spread tendency to favour the economy of hypothesis. is can hardly work for personal names with /op-/, whatever their structure may be: they may a priori be traced back to, at least, four IE different lexemes, which are all, to a different extent, reflected in Italic languages:¹ (a) IE *h₃ep- ‘(to work, produce in) abundance’, *h₃épes- ‘abundance’ (: PItal. *op-,*op- s-). As to IE *h₃ep- cf. Lat. ops ‘richness’, ‘aid’ (and fem. theonym Ops, Opis), opēs ‘financial resources’ (and cōpis ‘rich’ vs. inops ‘poor’). As to *h₃ép-es- cf. Lat. opus ‘work’ : Ved. ápas- ‘id.’ (and apás- ‘active’), Av. huuāpah- ‘having good riches’, also Hi. ḫappina- ‘rich’, Skr. ápnas- ‘property’, YAv. afnaŋhaṇt- ‘rich in properties’. As to PItal. *op- cf. the denominative *opes-ā-, assured by O. opsa- : Lat. operāre ‘to build, prepare’ (perf. ʳᵈ sg. O. úpsed / upsed / uupsed, .pl. -ens, impv. ʳᵈ sg. U. osatu, with perf. pret. ptc. U. oseto- (*opes-eto-).² (b) IE *h₁op(i)- /*h₁ep-í (: PItal. *op-)³ ‘thereupon, in addition, later’, ‘back, behind’, ‘on, over’, e.g. Gk. ὀπί/ἐπί, ὄπισθεν ‘behind’, with an obscure variant *ops- (ὀψέ ‘late’), Hi. appan ‘behind’, appa ‘backwards’, Lyc. epñ ‘back, aer’ (§ .). e form is reflected in Lat. ob (and obs °), but with a different meaning ‘to(wards), in front o’, e.g. obdō ‘to place something as a barrier’ (*°dʰh₁-o/e-), oscen ‘a (song-)bird giving omens by its cry’ (*obs-can-) ostendere (*obs-tend-) ‘to show, reveal’ (also as a preposition taking the accusative ‘because o’), as well as in Sabellic, cf. O. úp, op ‘in, to’, ‘beside’, ooserclom-e (*op-seritlo-, cf. Lat. obseruaculum),⁴ also as a preposition ‘at’, ‘apud’ (with ablative). (c) IE *h₁op-/*h₁p- ‘to take’ (: PItal. *op-/*ap-), e.g.⁵ Hi. ēp-/app- ‘seize’, Ved. perf. ā´pa ‘has taken’ (also pres. apnóti AV) : YAv. āpa. In Italic, cf. Lat. apiō ‘fasten, aach’, apiscor ‘to reach’, also optāre ‘to choose, wish’,⁶ optiō ‘choice’, U. impv. upetu /ope:-/ ‘should select’ (*h₁op-éie̯ -),⁷ O. hipid ‘should take’.

    A KÉT MOESIA LEGIOEMLÉKEINEK JELENTŐSÉGE ALSÓ-PANNONIA HADTÖRTÉNETÉBEN. A marcomann háborúk daciai vonatkozásaival foglalkozva, akaratlanul is ki kellene terjeszkednünk azokra a leletekre, melyek Alsó-Pannonia területén a két Moesia légióival megannyi kérdőjelként sorakoznak elénk s melyeknek értelmezése csakis Dacia rokon leleteivel kapcsolatosan kisérthető meg. Mielőtt tehát a bonyolultabbnak mutatkozó daciai emlékcsoport had- történeti magyarázatába fognánk, lássuk először is: liogy mikor s minő rendeltetéssel kerülhettek a Közép-Duna mellé a két Moesia helyőrségébe tartozó légiók eme képviselői ? A közfelfogás szerint a Krisztus után 106-ban kitört és tíz esztendőn keresztül szörnyűséges nyomort, pusztulást támasztó marcomann háborúk katonai mozgalmaival hozza nagy általános- ságban kapcsolatba ezeket a legioemlékeket, a nélkül azonban, hogy az időpontra nézve közelebbi meghatározásokkal rendel- keznénk.

  • Handout Name Yourself Like a Roman (CLAS 160)
    NAME YOURSELF LIKE A ROMAN Choose Your Gender 0 Roman naming conventions differed for men and women, and the Romans didn’t conceive of other options or categories (at least for naming purposes!). For viri (men): Choose Your Praenomen (“first name”) 1 This is your personal name, just like modern American first names: Michael, Jonathan, Jason, etc. The Romans used a very limited number of first names and tended to be very conservative about them, reusing the same small number of names within families. In the Roman Republic, your major options are: Some of these names (Quintus, Sextus, • Appius • Manius • Servius Septimus, etc.) clearly originally referred • Aulus • Marcus • Sextus to birth order: Fifth, Sixth, Seventh. Others are related to important aspects of • Decimus • Numerius • Spurius Roman culture: the name Marcus probably • Gaius • Postumus • Statius comes from the god Mars and Tiberius from the river Tiber. Other are mysterious. • Gnaeus • Publius • Tiberius But over time, these names lost their • Lucius • Quintus • Titus original significance and became hereditary, with sons named after their • Mamercus • Septimus • Vibius father or another male relative. Choose Your Nomen (“family name”) 2 Your second name identifies you by gens: family or clan, much like our modern American last name. While praenomina vary between members of the same family, the nomen is consistent. Some famous nomina include Claudius, Cornelius, Fabius, Flavius, Julius, Junius, and Valerius. Side note: if an enslaved person was freed or a foreigner was granted citizenship, they were technically adopted into the family of their “patron,” and so received his nomen as well. De Boer 2020 OPTIONAL: Choose Your Cognomen (“nickname”) Many Romans had just a praenomen and a nomen, and it was customary and polite to address a 3 person by this combo (as in “hello, Marcus Tullius, how are you today?” “I am well, Gaius Julius, and you?”).

  • Introduction
    Introduction his is a study of how dynastic monarchy changed politics across the Roman TEmpire. It is built around the Tabula Siarensis (T.Siar., A .D . 19), the Tabula Hebana (T.Heb., A .D. 20), the senatus consultum de Cn. Pisone patre (s.c. de Pisone, A .D . 20), and the funeral honors for the younger Drusus (RS 38, A .D . 23).1 This dossier of documents from the Tiberian Senate offers a snapshot of early imperial politics: it shows a ruling family intending to project itself into the future through dynastic succession and reveals a new political culture taking shape among the still-surviving organs of the Republic. The dossier affirms that what Augustus had established was the rule not of one man but of a dynastic house—a house that had a collective identity, in which women had public roles, and a house that promoted a series of young men as potential imperial successors. These princes were systematically pro- moted from at least 29 B .C., when Imp. Caesar celebrated his triple triumph flanked by his nephew, Marcellus, and his stepson, Tiberius, until A .D. 23, when the younger Drusus died; thereafter, the succession faltered, and in A .D . 41, the Praetorian Guard installed Claudius. During this period, the princes served as practical commanders in the field and as ideological models for youth. Most explicitly in retrospective funeral honors, they were universally recognized as dynastic successors. The dossier also reflects how, over the years between Imp. Caesar’s tri- umph and Claudius’s installation, political culture—the institutions and the 1.

  • Naming Effects in Lucretius' De Rerum Natura
    Antonomasia, Anonymity, and Atoms: Naming Effects in Lucretius’ DRN Princeton/Stanford Working Papers in Classics Antonomasia, Anonymity, and Atoms: Naming Effects in Lucretius’ De rerum natura Version 1.0 September 2009 Wilson H. Shearin Stanford University Abstract: This essay argues that selected proper names within Lucretius’ De rerum natura, rather than pointing deictically or referring with clear historical specificity, instead render Lucretius’ poem vaguer and more anonymous. To make this case, the essay first briefly surveys Roman naming practices, ultimately focusing upon a specific kind of naming, deictic naming. Deictic naming points (or attempts to point) to a given entity and often conjures up a sense of the reality of that entity. The essay then studies the role of deictic naming within Epicureanism and the relationship of such naming to instances of naming within De rerum natura. Through analysis of the nominal disappearance of Memmius, the near nominal absence of Epicurus, and the deployment of Venus (and other names) within the conclusion to Lucretius’ fourth book, the essay demonstrates how selected personal names in De rerum natura, in contrast to the ideal of deictic naming, become more general, more anonymous, whether by the substitution of other terms (Memmius, Epicurus), by referential wandering (Venus), or by still other means. The conclusion briefly studies the political significance of this phenomenon, suggesting that there is a certain popular quality to the tendency towards nominal indefiniteness traced in the essay. © Wilson H.

  • Aristocratic Identities in the Roman Senate from the Social War to the Flavian Dynasty
    Aristocratic Identities in the Roman Senate From the Social War to the Flavian Dynasty By Jessica J. Stephens A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Greek and Roman History) in the University of Michigan 2016 Doctoral Committee: Professor David Potter, chair Professor Bruce W. Frier Professor Richard Janko Professor Nicola Terrenato [Type text] [Type text] © Jessica J. Stephens 2016 Dedication To those of us who do not hesitate to take the long and winding road, who are stars in someone else’s sky, and who walk the hillside in the sweet summer sun. ii [Type text] [Type text] Acknowledgements I owe my deep gratitude to many people whose intellectual, emotional, and financial support made my journey possible. Without Dr. T., Eric, Jay, and Maryanne, my academic career would have never begun and I will forever be grateful for the opportunities they gave me. At Michigan, guidance in negotiating the administrative side of the PhD given by Kathleen and Michelle has been invaluable, and I have treasured the conversations I have had with them and Terre, Diana, and Molly about gardening and travelling. The network of gardeners at Project Grow has provided me with hundreds of hours of joy and a respite from the stress of the academy. I owe many thanks to my fellow graduate students, not only for attending the brown bags and Three Field Talks I gave that helped shape this project, but also for their astute feedback, wonderful camaraderie, and constant support over our many years together. Due particular recognition for reading chapters, lengthy discussions, office friendships, and hours of good company are the following: Michael McOsker, Karen Acton, Beth Platte, Trevor Kilgore, Patrick Parker, Anna Whittington, Gene Cassedy, Ryan Hughes, Ananda Burra, Tim Hart, Matt Naglak, Garrett Ryan, and Ellen Cole Lee.
