EPITAPHIC CULTURE and SOCIAL HISTORY in LATE ANTIQUE SALONA (Ca Doctoral Dissertation EPITAPHIC CULTURE AND SOCIAL HISTORY IN LATE ANTIQUE SALONA (ca. 250 – 600 C.E.) by DORA IVANIŠEVIĆ Supervisor: Volker Menze Submitted to the Medieval Studies Department, Central European University, Budapest in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Medieval Studies CEU eTD Collection Budapest 2016 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, my thanks go to Volker Menze. The patience and support of my supervisor needs to be acknowledged publically. He has always had trust in me and given me the freedom to do things my way. I will be forever grateful for the words of compassionate encouragement that came when I needed them the most. Furthermore, a few other professors have left a lasting mark on me in various and wonderful ways: Alice, Cristian, and Niels. Dear Csilla, besides all the logistical help, thank you for your care and warmth. I would like to thank my dear colleague Mariana Bodnaruk, and my friends Željka Salopek and Reyhan Durmaz for their help with providing me with literature: they did plenty of scanning from Germany, Croatia, and US, and they did it with such ease and readiness that I was never shy or reluctant to ask for help. The online epigraphic databases of the international federation of Epigraphic Databases (EAGLE), as well as Clauss-Slaby, are impressive undertakings. I participated in the EpiDoc workshop and got a glimpse of the enthusiasm and vision that lie behind them, as well as of the painstaking technical and intellectual work and effort invested in them. These databases facilitate our research, enable us to conduct it from the comfort of our homes, at any hour of the day and night, speed it up and make it more sophisticated. I spent a year studying at Cornell University through the Reese-Miller scholarship awarded by the Telluride Association, whose generosity I wish to thank. My stay in Ithaca was a life-changing experience; I lived in the Telluride House and befriended some exceptionally interesting, smart, and good people, whom I carry in my mind and heart. With infinite love and appreaciation, to my mama Diana and tata Kolja, Zojica, Kristinka, and Sona.

On the other hand, as a researcher, I often get frustrated by their fragmentary state of preservation and by the scarcity of information recorded in the epitaphs. Yet there they are: thousands of them found on a single site representing - most of the times - the only written evidence from the cities and towns of the Roman Empire; both applies to Salona, the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia. This dissertation builds upon the recent trends in localized studies of epigraphic evidence in order to explore the commemorative culture and people who availed themselves of it in late antique Salona (from the mid-third through the first decades of the seventh century). 1.1 Topic of the Thesis Inscriptions are often the only written evidence from the Roman provinces, and they, no matter how sketchy, inform us on various aspects of Roman history. More importantly, when epigraphic genre is conceptualized properly and their limitations are thus acknowledged, they provide us with a glimpse at the wider socio-economic sectors of a community, and are the indispensable source for writing the social history of Roman Empire at the local level. Inscriptions therefore present themselves as a supplement and often the corrective to the anecdotal evidence from literary sources. CEU eTD Collection Nevertheless, it has been recognized that the practice of setting up epitaphic monuments was socially and culturally contingent, whereby the main issue pertains to the usefulness of epitaphs for the 1 Marguerite Yourcenar, Memoirs of Hadrian, Grace Frick transl. (New York: Farrar, Straus, Giroux, 1963), at p. 28. 1 socio-demographic inquiry. Namely, the question is to what extent epitaphs, the source material inherently pertinent to socio-demographic analysis, reflect the demographic and socio-economic structures of an urban environment. The results have been largely negative: epitaphs neither represent a random sample of the population nor are certain categories of data recorded there accurate. Regarding the social composition of the “epitaphic population,” P. R. C. Weaver has succinctly addressed its relevance and the difficulty of illuminating it: “Determination of status is at the heart of most problems that arise in the study of the sub-equestrian classes of Roman society under the Empire. Unfortunately, along with chronology, it is also the most intractable problem for these social levels.”2 The question of the social distribution of epitaphs is essential for our understanding of the Roman epigraphic habit, and for the demographic and socio-economic urban history. This thesis examines two related topics, specifically the topic of the epitaphic culture, namely of the motivation to inscribe an epitaph in late antiquity, and that of the social profile of the epitaphic population in late antique Salona. I have based my analysis on the 188 sufficiently preserved epitaphs dated to from the mid- third to the beginning of the seventh century. The Appendix 2 tabulates the data from the sample across the categories of the commemorator and the deceased.

CLAUDIA MOATTI Translation, Migration, and Communication in the Roman Empire: Three Aspects of Movement in History This paper isolates movement as a topic for analysis in Roman imperial history. Movement is regarded under three aspects: translation (of texts, practices, ideas), migration (of oYcials, merchants, students, etc.), and communication (i.e. the movement of written documents). Interrelationships among the three aspects of movement are identiWed and discussed, as are the shared impact of translation, migration, and communication on issues of cultural and social identity and political negotiation and control. The article argues that movement changes the role of the state as well as relations between individual and states, augments the use of writing in society, transforms identities, and gives impulse to internal and external regulations.

  • Illyrian Religion and Nation As Zero Institution
    Studies in Visual Arts and Communication: an international journal Vol 3, No 1 (2016) on-line ISSN 2393 - 1221 Illyrian religion and nation as zero institution Josipa Lulić * Abstract The main theoretical and philosophical framework for this paper are Louis Althusser's writings on ideology, and ideological state apparatuses, as well as Rastko Močnik’s writings on ideology and on the nation as the zero institution. This theoretical framework is crucial for deconstructing some basic tenants in writing on the religious sculpture in Roman Dalmatia, and the implicit theoretical constructs that govern the possibilities of thought on this particular subject. This paper demonstrates how the ideological construct of nation that ensures the reproduction of relations of production of modern societies is often implicitly or explicitly projected into the past, as trans-historical construct, thus soliciting anachronistic interpretations of the material remains of past societies. This paper uses the interpretation of religious sculpture in Roman Dalmatia as a case study to stress the importance of the critique of ideology in the art history. The religious sculpture in Roman Dalmatia has been researched almost exclusively through the search for the presumed elements of Illyrian religion in visual representations; the formulation of the research hypothesis was firmly rooted into the idea of nation as zero institution, which served as the default framework for various interpretations. In this paper I try to offer some alternative interpretations, intending not to give definite answers, but to open new spaces for research. Keywords: Roman sculpture, province of Dalmatia, nation as zero institution, ideology, Rastko Močnik, Louis Althusser.

    Profile of a Plant: The Olive in Early Medieval Italy, 400-900 CE by Benjamin Jon Graham A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2014 Doctoral Committee: Professor Paolo Squatriti, Chair Associate Professor Diane Owen Hughes Professor Richard P. Tucker Professor Raymond H. Van Dam © Benjamin J. Graham, 2014 Acknowledgements Planting an olive tree is an act of faith. A cultivator must patiently protect, water, and till the soil around the plant for fifteen years before it begins to bear fruit. Though this dissertation is not nearly as useful or palatable as the olive’s pressed fruits, its slow growth to completion resembles the tree in as much as it was the patient and diligent kindness of my friends, mentors, and family that enabled me to finish the project. Mercifully it took fewer than fifteen years. My deepest thanks go to Paolo Squatriti, who provoked and inspired me to write an unconventional dissertation. I am unable to articulate the ways he has influenced my scholarship, teaching, and life. Ray Van Dam’s clarity of thought helped to shape and rein in my run-away ideas. Diane Hughes unfailingly saw the big picture—how the story of the olive connected to different strands of history. These three people in particular made graduate school a humane and deeply edifying experience. Joining them for the dissertation defense was Richard Tucker, whose capacious understanding of the history of the environment improved this work immensely. In addition to these, I would like to thank David Akin, Hussein Fancy, Tom Green, Alison Cornish, Kathleen King, Lorna Alstetter, Diana Denney, Terre Fisher, Liz Kamali, Jon Farr, Yanay Israeli, and Noah Blan, all at the University of Michigan, for their benevolence.

Fine, Jr., Chair Professor Emeritus H. Don Cameron Professor Paul Christopher Johnson Professor Raymond H. Van Dam Associate Professor Diane Owen Hughes © Alexander Borislavov Angelov 2011 To my mother Irina with all my love and gratitude ii Acknowledgements To put in words deepest feelings of gratitude to so many people and for so many things is to reflect on various encounters and influences. In a sense, it is to sketch out a singular narrative but of many personal “conversions.” So now, being here, I am looking back, and it all seems so clear and obvious. But, it is the historian in me that realizes best the numerous situations, emotions, and dilemmas that brought me where I am. I feel so profoundly thankful for a journey that even I, obsessed with planning, could not have fully anticipated. In a final analysis, as my dissertation grew so did I, but neither could have become better without the presence of the people or the institutions that I feel so fortunate to be able to acknowledge here. At the University of Michigan, I first thank my mentor John Fine for his tremendous academic support over the years, for his friendship always present when most needed, and for best illustrating to me how true knowledge does in fact produce better humanity.

  • The Neonian Baptistery in Ravenna 359
    Ritual and ReconstructedMeaning: The Neonian Baptisteryin Ravenna Annabel Jane Wharton The pre-modern work of art, which gained authority through its extension in ritual action, could function as a social integrator. This essay investigates the figural decoration of the Orthodox Baptistery in Ravenna, in an effort to explain certain features of the mosaic program. If the initiation ritual is reenacted and the civic centrality of the rite and its executant, the bishop, is restored, the apparent "icon- ographic mistakes" in the mosaics reveal themselves as signs of the mimetic re- sponsiveness of the icon. By acknowledging their unmediated character, it may be possible to re-empower both pre-modern images and our own interpretative strategy.
