999 E Street, NW Washington, DC 20463 to Wlioni It May 999 E Street, NW Washington, D.C. 20463 To Wlioni It May Concern: This letter is to formally file a complaint with the Federal Election Commission against Peter Roskam for Congress (FEC Commission I: COQ330043) for delinquent debts. Data + Imagination, Inc. provided the campaign software, databases and support for his ca.mpaign fa the Illinois 40"' District election in 1998. We have attempted to collect from Mr. Itoskam multiple times and have had no positive response. Data + Imagination, Inc. obtained Mr. Roskam's Campaign Committee's termination papers, which state that there are no debts. This is simply not true. Mr. Roskam's Campaign Committee owes Data + Imagination, Inc. a total of $3.353.61. Enclosed, you will find copies of invoices, statements and copies of his State and Federal Campaign Committee's Report of Receipts and Disbursements. As you will see, 'we have ample proof that Mr. Roskam defaulted on his debt and misrepresented himself on his reports to the State Board of Elections of Illinois and to the Federal Election Commission. We urge you to pursue this matter further. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding this matter.

  • Chapter Four
    chapter four LUGDUNUM The provincial centre at Lugdunum is the earliest enclosure of its kind in the Latin west and in several ways a deviation from the pat- tern observable in the Iberian peninsula. In the first place the sanc- tuary is situated on the outskirts of Lugdunum, outside the territory of the colony rather than within the perimeter of the city as at Tar- raco or Narbo (Vol. II, 1, Pl. CIX).1 Despite its proximity on the hill of Fourvière, Lugdunum had in principle no direct link with the enclave, so that in this instance there is no possibility of any connection with the civic forum of Lugdunum, the exact site of which continues to evade final detection.2 Equally unusual, the provincial worship of which it was the focus was formally that of three provinces: Lugdunensis, Aquitania and Belgica, a privileged case for which there is no clear parallel else- where in the Roman empire. This interprovincial character becomes less striking on closer inspection, however, once it is recalled that the establishment of the Altar of the Three Gauls, to all appearances in 12 rather than 10 B.C.,3 took place only a year or so after the tripar- tite division of Gaul in ca. 16–13 B.C.4 At the time the new arrange- ment can hardly have appeared as definitive as it does today in retro- spect. The fact that by Strabo’s account sixty Gallic civitates were origi- nally represented at the sanctuary5 clearly shows that the centre served a broad ethnic unity on which had been imposed an administrative system that cut across tribal divisions artificially.

Perugia is the capital city in the region of Umbria in central Italy, near the Tiber river, and the capital of the province of Perugia. Perugia, the great "Guelf strong-hold" rises up in the region's heart, with its 5 storical quarters closed-in by its Etruscan town walls. These enormous bastions formed by cyclopic square masses, were constructed 22 centuries ago and are still visible for long stretches.

  • Attitudes Towards Lusatia and Its Heritage in Polish
    doi: 10.19090/i.2017.28.189-205 UDC: 323.1(=162.5)(437.3) ISTRAŽIVANJA ORIGINAL SCIENTIFIC PAPER JOURNAL OF HISTORICAL RESEARCHES Received: 15 May 2017 28 (2017) Accepted: 26 September 2017 MAŁGORZATA ŁUKIANOW Polish Academy of Sciences [email protected] MARCIN MACIEJEWSKI University of Zielona Góra [email protected] ATTITUDES TOWARDS LUSATIA AND ITS HERITAGE IN POLISH. HISTORICAL AND SOCIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES∗ Abstract: The paper discusses contemporary attitudes towards Lusatian heritage in Poland, with special attention to the region called Eastern Lusatia situated in the western part of the country. This approach aims to present the phenomenon within an interdisciplinary context of history and social sciences. The broad historical context included in this paper covers mostly the period of post-war border changes, especially those between Poland and Germany. The communist period in Poland and the specificity of communist minority policies is one of the key factors shaping today’s image of Sorbian heritage. Another important perspective is the contemporary trend for creating new localities as a form of the affective bond with the place of inhabitance. This, in the authors’ view, is deeply rooted in post-war social phenomena such as mass-scale migrations. The authors claim that today’s presence and presentation of Lusatian heritage is mostly instrumental and serves local communities as tourist attractions rather than including the Sorbian minority in the discourse of identity. Keywords: Sorbs, Lower Lusatia, Lower Sorbian, minorities in Poland, Polish Western and Northern Territories, new locality, memory discourse. 1. Introduction orbs are said to be the smallest Slavonic nation, who today dwell predominantly in Germany and are strongly Germanized.

  • Dedication of a Pagus in Thugga (Ilafr 558) Published on Judaism and Rome (
    Dedication of a pagus in Thugga (ILAfr 558) Published on Judaism and Rome (https://www.judaism-and-rome.org) Dedication of a pagus in Thugga (ILAfr 558) [1] Typology (Honorific / Funerary / etc.): Dedicatory. Original Location/Place: Unknown. Actual Location (Collection/Museum): Reused: built in to the western wall of the Byzantine fortress. Date: 36 CE to 37 CE Physical Characteristics: Lintel, formed from two joined blocks. Material: Limestone. Measurements: Height: 48cm Width: 397 cm Language: Latin Category: Roman Publications: ILAfr 558 Khanoussi, and Maurin, Dougga, Fragments d’Histoire, n. 23 (AE (1914), 0172) Commentary: This inscription is the earliest dated epigraphic text from the Roman pagus (district or community outside of a city) of Thugga (Dougga) in northern Tunisia. It is an interesting text for a number of reasons; it records the dedication of a number of public buildings constructed in the first years of Tiberius’s reign, benefitting our knowledge of the topography of the monumental centre of Thugga, and – more significantly – it demonstrates the development of the local identity of the pagus, including the adoption and worship of religious cults which responded to both local interest as well as imperial influence. The inscription also reveals the different social statuses of the inhabitants of the region, and the degree to which they assimilated to, or were complicit with the ruling power of Rome. Thugga (modern Dougga), was a small town situated approximately 110 kilometres from Carthage; it began as a Libyan settlement in the sixth century CE and was recorded by Diodorus Siculus as being already of reasonably large size by the fourth century BCE (Historical Library, XX.57.4; for a detailed history of Thugga, see Poinssot, Les Ruines de Dougga,p.

  • Concilium and Pagus—Revisiting the Early Germanic Thing System of Northern Europe
    2013 Debating the ThingJournal in the of theNorth North I: The Atlantic Assembly Project Special Volume 5 2013 Journal of theF. Iversen North Atlantic Special Volume 5:5–17 Concilium and Pagus—Revisiting the Early Germanic Thing System of Northern Europe Frode Iversen* Abstract - This article deals with the geographical organization of the thing system of Northern Europe prior to the pro- cesses of supra-regional kingdoms in the 8th to 10th centuries, re-evaluating the early written evidence. It is argued that at least three interrelated geographical judicial units (referred to as civitas, pagus, and centena) existed prior to the 6th century within the historic areas of Austrasia, Frisia, and Saxony. Parallels to such a tripartite system are found in Scandinavia and Iceland in the 10–12th centuries. Past Perspectives on the Thing discussions, fuelling perceptions of noble savagery: The word þing, i.e., thing, exists in all of the primitive, spear-wielding tribes who placed a strong Germanic languages and has been understood as “a emphasis on public debate and discussion at a des- gathering in a certain place, at a certain time”. This ignated outdoor place of assembly.
