  • Reshaping East Roman Diplomacy with Barbarians During the 5Th Century
    Chapter 1 From Hegemony to Negotiation: Reshaping East Roman Diplomacy with Barbarians during the 5th Century Audrey Becker Introduction During the first half of the 4th century ad, thanks to their military power, the Romans had been giving the barbarian tribes bordering the Danube and the Rhine no choice but to accept the conclusion of deditio after losing the war, leav- ing them in a very humiliating position.1 Yet, the military and political events of the second half of the 4th century ad, and even more of the 5th century ad, led the Romans to reconsider their relationship with the barbarian tribes.2 The characteristics of diplomatic relationship changed even before the defeat at Andrinople in 378, because the barbarian tribes, in the middle of the 4th cen- tury, gradually became able to restore the balance of power, leading the Eastern Roman Empire to reconsider its relations with its barbarian neighbours. This compelled the Byzantine Empire, from the end of the 4th century onward, to take into account barbarian leaders or kings who became, at that time, real dip- lomatic actors playing, of necessity, with formal rules of diplomatic protocol to 1 For instance, Constantinus with the Sarmatians in 323: Zosimus, Historia Nova 2.21.3, ed.Paschoud (Paris, 2000), p. 92; Julian in 358 with the Alemanni kings Suomarius and Hor- tarius: Ammianus Marcellinus, Res Gestae 17.10.3, ed.

Bernard C. Brian Rose, Supervisor of Dissertation This dissertation investigates how Rome organized and paid for the considerable amount of labor that went into the physical transformation of the Middle Republican city. In particular, it considers the role played by the cost of public construction in the socioeconomic history of the period, here defined as 390 to 168 B.C. During the Middle Republic period, Rome expanded its dominion first over Italy and then over the Mediterranean. As it developed into the political and economic capital of its world, the city itself went through transformative change, recognizable in a great deal of new public infrastructure.

Potter, Co-Chair Professor Emeritus Raymond H. Van Dam, Co-Chair Assistant Professor Ian David Fielding Professor Christopher John Ratté © Timothy Campbell Hart [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0002-8640-131X For my family ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Developing and writing a dissertation can, at times, seem like a solo battle, but in my case, at least, this was far from the truth. I could not have completed this project without the advice and support of many individuals, most crucially, my dissertation co-chairs David S. Potter, and Raymond Van Dam. Ray saw some glimmer of potential in me and worked to foster it from the moment I arrived at Michigan. I am truly thankful for his support throughout the years and constant advice on both academic and institutional matters. In particular, our conversations about demographics and the movement of people in the ancient world were crucial to the genesis of this project. Throughout the writing process, Ray’s firm encouragement towards clarity of argument and style, while not always what I wanted to hear, have done much to make this a stronger dissertation. David Potter has provided me with a lofty academic model towards which to strive. I admire the breadth and depth of his scholarship; working and teaching with him have shown me much worth emulating.

  • Landscape As Cartography in Early Christian Pilgrimage Narratives* Blake Leyerle
    Journal of the American Academy of Religion LXIV/1 AAR Landscape as Cartography in Early Christian Pilgrimage Narratives* Blake Leyerle v_>OMPARED TO OTHER ancient travel literature, early accounts of Christian pilgrimage are strikingly spare. Our first record comes to us from an anonymous traveler in the early fourth century but here the land and its inhabitants, both presumably so exotic, remain as faceless as the traveler. Towards the end of the same century Egerias account shows a greater expansiveness on these matters but still has intriguing silences; while fulsome in expressing pleasure m what she sees, her enthusiasm stops short of any literary depiction of these sights. Jeromes letters, writ­ ten at about the same time, describing the land of Palestine as well as the holy travels of his friend Paula, do direct our attention to the landscape but in a highly stylized way For Jerome, scenery speaks of religious rather than geological formation. By the end of the sixth century, how­ ever, when another anonymous pilgrim traveled to the Holy Land, local fauna, flora, and even matters of ethnography are all of exuberant interest. Why is this? While this question may seem too impressionistic, too insignificant— or perhaps even too obvious—to ask, doing so brings real rewards. Like Blake Leyerle is Assistant Professor of Early Christian History in the Theology Department at the Uni­ versity of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, IN 46556 * Portions of this paper were presented at the annual meeting of the North American Patnstics Soci­ ety, Loyola

  • Going with the Grain: Athenian State Formation and the Question Of
    Princeton/Stanford Working Papers in Classics Going with the Grain: Athenian State Formation and the Question of Subsistence in the 5th and 4th Centuries BCE Version 1.0 January 2006 Ulrike Krotscheck Stanford University Abstract: In this paper, I address the role of Athenian grain trade policy as a driving factor of the city’s growing power in the 5th and 4th centuries. Recent explanations of increasing Athenian hegemony and dominance over other poleis during this time period have focused on the role of warfare. I present an equally important, yet often-overlooked factor: food supply. Athens was dependent on grain imports throughout the Classical Period. Through examination of the ancient sources, I demonstrate that the increasing need to secure subsistence goods for Athens significantly propelled its ambition for power, causing a fundamental shift from a non- interventionist government policy to one of heavy intervention between the 5th and the 4th centuries BCE. This shift corresponded to an increasing complexity within the mechanisms of the city’s politics. It helped propel Athenian state formation and affected the dynamic of power and politics in the ancient Mediterranean world. © Ulrike Krotscheck. [email protected] 2 Introduction In his recent book Against the Grain, Richard Manning argues that most apparently fundamental forces that have shaped the world, such as trade, wealth, disease, slavery, imperialism, and colonialism, are based on agricultural production. While Manning does offer a description of agriculture throughout human history, his main focus is on contemporary politics, specifically the US agribusiness.1 Manning may go a bit far in his ultimate conclusion – calling, among other things, for a return to hunting for subsistence - but he makes a salient point.

  • Xma FINAL DRAFT
    PROPERTY LAW IN ROMAN EGYPT IN THE LIGHT OF THE PAPYRI: SAFEGUARDING WOMEN’S ECONOMIC INTERESTS by Melina Sturym 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 © Melina Sturym 2013 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 study looks at the role of women in the economic environment of Roman Egypt in the light of the papyri. By examining marriage and inheritance documents from the first three centuries, the study shows that marital and inheritance laws and customs in Roman Egypt were made to protect women’s interests when it came to ownership and possession of property, which is one of the main reasons why women played such a prominent role in Egypt’s economic environment. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my gratitude to my supervisor, Dr. Sheila Ager, whose vast knowledge, guidance, understanding, and patience added greatly to my graduate experience. I would also like to thank the other members of my committee, Dr. Andrew Faulkner and Dr. Christina Vester for their supportive feedback, assistance, and advise. A special thanks also goes out to Brigitte Schneebeli for all her help during this past year. I am greatly grateful to all the professors at the Classics Department at the University of Winnipeg, where I did my undergraduate studies.

  • Beth Shean – Scythopolis: Churches and Monasteries on the Margins of the Holy Land
    Beth Shean – Scythopolis: churches and monasteries on the margins of the Holy Land Matthew Chalmers, Religious Studies Introduction Scythopolis acted as the capital of Byzantine Palestina Secunda, reaching its zenith in the early sixth century CE.1 Despite this importance, it features in only three pilgrimage reports dated before its change of hands to Arabic control in the seventh century. Only one of those attaches a devotional narrative to visiting the settlement (Theodosius, De Situ Terrae Sanctae 2); otherwise Scythopolis acts as a stopping post on the way between more theologically charged zones (The Piacenza Pilgrim 8; Itinerarium Burdigalense). Similarly, whilst an administrative centre, none of the sites mentioned by the local monk-turned- biographer Cyril of Scythopolis as important for Christian networks of monasticism, ecclesiastical realpolitik, or narrating sacred space can be identified within the main urban centre. How does late antique Christianity in Palestine function here, with respect to churches and monasteries in particular? In this paper, I briefly discuss the known churches and monasteries, along with some of the previous scholarship dealing with them. Much of that work, however, relies on interpreting the material remains at Beth Shean by reference to a centralized Christianization hypothesis. In other words, it is assumed that as a city in Byzantine Palestine Beth Shean was also a site of top-down imperial investment intended to alter the religious landscape of Palestine through building projects and the sponsoring of pilgrimage.2 After discussing the role Beth Shean-Scythopolis’ marginality has to play in its religious life, I return to reassess the site, and present a picture of the functioning of Christian networks in Scythopolis-Beth Shean.
