  • The Exiled Bishops of Constantinople from the Fourth to the Late Sixth Century
    Studia Ceranea 5, 2015, p. 231–247 ISSN: 2084-140X DOI: 10.18778/2084-140X.05.07 e-ISSN: 2449-8378 Rafał Kosiński (Białystok) The Exiled Bishops of Constantinople from the Fourth to the Late Sixth Century he existence of quick and efficient communication with the provincial territo- Tries was a matter of vital importance to Late-Antique Constantinople, the cap- ital city and the administrative centre of the Eastern Roman Empire. As a result, it became necessary to ensure the creation and maintenance of the land and sea routes linking the City with the provinces. The present article aims to examine which of those links, specifically by land or sea, facilitated a more rapid and conve- nient communication between the capital city and the more or less distant regions of the Empire, as exemplified by the various places of exile connected with the deposed bishops of Constantinople. Assuming that one of the key goals of sending someone into banishment would be to prevent them, as much as possible, from having any form of communication with the City, the location of the places to which they had been confined by the order of the authorities could indicate which method of contact would have potentially made it easier, or more difficult, for an exiled bishop to communicate with his followers at the capital1. In the early Byzantine period, the office of the Bishop of Constantinople was not a very secure position. Considering the time frame from the consecration of the City until the end of the sixth century, as many as 11 metropolitan bish- ops, in effect every third one, had been deposed from their office.

The emperor brieflyrefers in the MonumentumAncyranum to one or more colonies in Pisidia; but the reference is so slight as to give no evidence of their number or of the time or circumstancesof foundation: it only shows that he planted in Pisidia at least one colony of soldiers.

Alexander Watkins Terrell, a noted Texas politician and judge, acquired the stone on a visit to Troy in 1894 and donated it to the University of Texas in 1898.2 At the time Terrell was in charge of the American legation in Constantinople and was visiting Frank Calvert, one of his consular agents, who lived at the Dardanelles and owned the site of ancient Troy.3 Marble block. Left and top edges preserved, others broken away. P.H. 0.292 m.; P.W. 0.271 m.; P.Th. 0.130 m.; L.H. 0.023-0.029 m. first line; 0.010-0.017 m. in wreath.

  • Strabo's Use of Geographical Proverbs and Proverbial Expressions
    ‘Bird’s Milk in Samos’ Strabo’s Use of Geographical Proverbs and Proverbial Expressions Daniela Dueck Why use proverbs in a geographical survey?1 The παροιμία in Greek and the prover­ bium in Latin2 are usually sentences or phrases in prose or in metre, concise, witty, and sometimes enigmatic or allegorical. They express a certain experience and common sense, universal truths and popular wisdom. At times they also hold moral and didactic values. Because of their popular origin, proverbs often reflect ancient historical experi­ ence and preserve traces of past events and periods. Many sayings relate to specific lo­ cations and so certain place-names become proverbial for particular situations, human characteristics and natural conditions. Thus, the particular event and the specific trait become models and examples for general types of similar occurrences. Popular experience is not the only origin of ancient proverbs. Citations from litera­ ture, particularly poetic verses, sometimes become independent of their original context to form a self-contained saying. Among these sayings, many derive from comedies which in their essence imitate and reflect the language and thoughts of common people. Thus, there seems to be a bilateral correlation between poetry and proverbs: poetry, particu­ larly comedy, uses popular expressions reflecting spoken language, and specific verses are detached from their original context to become prevalent expressions. The popularity of proverbs and their antiquity turn them into a first rate source of in­ terest for historians and anthropologists. They preserve various facts, sometimes through generations, after the original circumstances have long changed or after a certain phe­ nomenon has disappeared.

The Local Impact Of The Koinon In Roman Coastal Paphlagonia Abstract This dissertation studies the effects that a “koinon” in the Roman period could have on its constituent communities. The tudys traces the formation process of the koinon in Roman coastal Paphlagonia, called “the Koinon of the Cities in Pontus,” and its ability to affect local customs and norms through an assortment of epigraphic, literary, numismatic and archaeological sources. The er sults of the study include new readings of inscriptions, new proposals on the interpretation of the epigraphic record, and assessments on how they inform and change our opinion regarding the history and the regional significance of the coastal Paphlagonian koinon. This study finds that the Koinon of the Cities in Pontus in coastal Paphlagonia was a dynamic organisation whose membership and activities defined by the eparchic administrative boundary of the Augustan settlement and the juridical definition of the Pontic identity in the eparchic sense. The necessary process that forced the periodic selection of municipal peers to attain koinon leadership status not only created a socially distinct category of “koinon” elite but also elevated the koinon to extraordinary status based on consensus in the eparchia.

COOLEY AND BENET SALWAY IGENERAL I.i General Introduction The aim of this quinquennial survey remains the same as its predecessor, as for the most part does the format, though the team is regrettably reduced by one.1 With an eye to the study of the Roman world, we hope to signal the most important newly published inscriptions, signicant reinterpretations of previously published material, new trends in scholarship, recent studies that draw heavily on epigraphic sources, and noteworthy developments in the various aids to understanding inscriptions (both traditional printed material and electronic resources). In the context of this journal, the geographical range and chronological scope reect the contours and history of the Roman state from its beginnings down to the end of the seventh century. As such, not only does the survey naturally take in Greek as well as Latin texts, but also epigraphic material in other languages relevant to the Roman world.
