In the context of medical progress and other twentieth-century innovations, however, the same institutions have bred the most rapid population growth the world has ever seen.

    Lucan's Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulf

    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).

    LAMBAESIS TO THE REIGN OF HADRIAN By DIANE MARIE HOPPER EVERMAN " Bachelor of Arts Oklahoma State University Stillwater, Oklahoma December, 1977 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS July 25, 1980 -n , ,111e.5J s LAMBAESIS TO THE REIGN OF HADRIAN Thesis Approved: Dean of the Graduate College ii 10S2909 PREFACE Lambaesis was a Roman Imperial military fortress in North Africa in the modern-day nation of Algeria. Rome originally acquired the territory as a result of the defeat of Carthage in the Punic Wars. Expansion of territory and settlement of surplus population were two ideas behind its Romanization. However, North Africa's greatest asset for becoming a province was its large yield of grain. This province furnished most of the wheat for the empire. If something happened to hinder its annual production level then Rome and its provinces would face famine. Unlike most instances of acquiring territory Rome did not try to assimilate the native transhumant population. Instead these inhabitants held on to their ancestral lands until they were forcibly removed. This territory was the most agriculturally productive; unfortunately, it was also the area of seasonal migration for the native people. Lambaesis is important in this scheme because it was the base of the solitary legion in North Africa, the III Legio Augusta. After beginning in the eastern section of the province just north of the Aures Mountains the legion gradually moved west leaving a peaceful area behind. The site of Lambaesis was the III Legio Augusta's westernmost fortress.

Mattingly 1 The Laguatan (plural : Ilaguas) comprised a confederation of Berber tribes in late antiquity and though the history of the confederation cannot be reconstructed in detail, the importance of this tribal grouping must not be underestimated. From its first appearance in the late third century AD, the confederation played a significant role in the politics of late Roman,Vandal, Byzantine and early Arab Africa. It is to the Laguatan that we can look for a vital thread of continuity across this long period of successive upheavals. 2 The tribal ethnic is known in various forms from a number of Byzantine and Arab sources, though it is generally accepted that the transliteration found in the work of the African writer Corippus is likely to be the closest to the original Berber (lagatan/ Laguatan). Alternative forms in Procopius (Leuathae) and early Arab writers (Louāta or Lawāta) hint at the soft pronunciation of the ‘g’ (Mattingly, 1983, p.

    Généalogies Et Géographies Tribales

    Grigori Lazarev Sociologue, et Géographe. Association de Recherche Interdisciplinaire Al Idrissi, Rabat Ancien fonctionnaire international (FAO), Rome. [email protected] Généalogies et géographies tribales Résumé : Cet article tire ses matériaux des travaux de G. Lazarev (en cours de publication) sur les « Populations et les territoires du Maghreb, VII°-XI° siècle ». Il propose quelques réflexions sur les rapports entre les généalogies et les géographies tribales pendant la période médiévale. Il fait bien entendu référence à Ibn Khaldûn et à l’approche généalogique de son histoire des groupements ethniques berbères jusqu’au XIV° siècle. L’analyse montre cependant les biais de son approche et son adéquation des généalogies à la succession des phases successives de l’histoire du Maghreb. Une contre-analyse permet de déceler les correspondances qui s’établissent entre les blocs généalogiques et la géographie des tribus du Maghreb. Cette contre-analyse vérifie une intuition tardive d’Ibn Khaldûn, mais que déterminé par le conformisme généalogique de son époque, il n’a pas appliquée dans son ouvrage antérieur, le kitab al ibar1. Mots clé : Maghreb médiéval, tribus berbères, généalogie tribale, géographie tribale au Maghreb Abstract: This paper is based upon works by G. Lazarev (in process of publication) on « Populations and Territories in Maghreb, VII°-XI° centuries ». It offers some thoughts on the relationships between genealogies and tribal geographies in medieval times. Of course, it refers to Ibn Khaldûn and to his genealogical approach of berber ethnic groups until century XIV. An analysis showshowever his approach’many biases due to hissimplified adequation to the successive phases ofMaghreb history. A counter-analysis leads to find straight correspondences between « genealogical blocks » andMaghreb tribal geography.

Resumen En el siglo VI las provincias bizantinas de Tripolitania, Pentápolis y de la Libia Marmárica, se vieron favorecidas por el auge del comercio marítimo alejandrino. La conquista de Egipto y Alejandría por los árabes impuso a estos la tarea de asegurar su posesión con el sometimiento o al menos destrucción, de las provincias bizantinas situadas a Occidente de Egipto. La empresa contaría con el apoyo del nuevo Patriarcado copto de Alejandría, pero sería una tarea ardua y larga que sólo concluiría con la destrucción de Cartago. Palabras clave: Bizancio, árabes, Egipto, Libia Marmárica, Pentápolis, Cirenaica, Tripolitania. Abstract On the 6th Century the byzantine provinces of Tripolitania, Pentapolis and Marmarican Lybia, were favoured by the growth of the Alexandrine maritime commerce. The conquest of Egypt and Alexandria by the Arabs imposed on them the task of securing their possession with the submis- sion, or at least the destruction of the byzantine provinces located on the west of Egypt. The task would rely on the support of the new Alexandrine Coptic Patriarchate, but it would be a hard and long undertaking that would only conclude with the destruction of Carthage.

In the context of medical progress and other twentieth-century innovations, however, the same institutions have bred the most rapid population growth the world has ever seen. The history of the continent is thus a single story binding living Africans to their earliest human ancestors. John Iliffe was Professor of African History at the University of Cambridge and is a Fellow of St. John’s College. He is the author of several books on Africa, including Amodern history of Tanganyika and The African poor: A history,which was awarded the Herskovits Prize of the African Studies Association of the United States.

January 26 2pm KE 526 (provisional) Module coordinator: Andy Merrills e-mail: [email protected] Room: 110 Office hours: Thursdays 9.30-11.30 Your individual appointments (e.g. tutorials, seminars): …………………………………………………… …………………………………………………… …………………………………………………… …………………………………………………… document prepared by: AHM 1/12/09 2 3 AR3020 North Africa in Late Antiquity Weighting: 20 credits Coordinator: Andy Merrills Other tutors: Dave Edwards; David Mattingly Module outline: Classical North Africa was shaped profoundly by the imperial domination of Rome and Meroe. When these great empires began to fragment from the later fourth century, the region experienced a number of political, cultural and economic convulsions every bit as profound as those experienced elsewhere in the classical world. This module explores the ‘forgotten’ history of Africa from c.350-c.550 CE, from a consciously comparative perspective. We will examine a variety of different post- imperial societies, and post-imperial phenomena, from Egyptian monasticism and Berber pyramid-building to the warrior aristocracies of Nubia and Vandal Carthage. Aims: To examine a crucial (but neglected!) area in the history of late Antiquity, and in the history of Africa. To introduce students to a wide array of translated sources and documents, the archaeological data and secondary works, and to encourage their critical analysis and evaluation. To develop further skills in written presentation Intended On completion of the module, students will be able to: learning outcomes: Research a well-defined aspect of a topic and communicate the results effectively in an oral presentation Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of many of the principal historical themes of this period Display a nuanced appreciation of the themes and controversies surrounding the study of North Africa in the Roman and post- Roman period.
