Abstract Language is one of the most significant aspects of cultural identity. This thesis examines the evidence of languages in contact in Roman Britain in order to determine the role that language played in defining the identities of the inhabitants of this Roman province. All forms of documentary evidence from monumental stone epigraphy to ownership marks scratched onto pottery are analyzed for indications of bilingualism and language contact in Roman Britain. The language and subject matter of the Vindolanda writing tablets from a Roman army fort on the northern frontier are analyzed for indications of bilingual interactions between Roman soldiers and their native surroundings, as well as Celtic interference on the Latin that was written and spoken by the Roman army.

  • 1 Gallo-Roman Relations Under the Early Empire by Ryan Walsh A
    Gallo-Roman Relations under the Early Empire By Ryan Walsh 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 © Ryan Walsh 2013 1 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 paper examines the changing attitudes of Gallo-Romans from the time of Caesar's conquest in the 50s BCE to the start of Vespasian's reign in 70-71 CE and how Roman prejudice shaped those attitudes. I first examine the conflicted opinions of the Gauls in Caesar's time and how they eventually banded together against him but were defeated. Next, the activities of each Julio-Claudian emperor are examined to see how they impacted Gaul and what the Gallo-Roman response was. Throughout this period there is clear evidence of increased Romanisation amongst the Gauls and the prominence of the region is obvious in imperial policy. This changes with Nero's reign where Vindex's rebellion against the emperor highlights the prejudices still effecting Roman attitudes. This only becomes worse in the rebellion of Civilis the next year. After these revolts, the Gallo-Romans appear to retreat from imperial offices and stick to local affairs, likely as a direct response to Rome's rejection of them.

  • DBG Book 1 Outline
    Caesar’s De Bello Gallico BOOK I OUTLINE Chapter I 1-4 Gaul has three parts, inhabited by three tribes (Belgae, Aquitaini, and Celtae/Galli) who are different in language, institutions, and laws. 4-5. The rivers that separate the three areas. 6-11. Three reasons why the Belgae are the bravest. 11-15. The final reason explains why the Helvetians surpass the other Gauls in courage, because they fight regularly with the Germans, either in Germania or in their own land. 15-18. The boundaries of the land the Gauls occupy. 18-21. The boundaries of the land the Belgae occupy. 21-24. The boundaries of the land the Aquitani occupy. Chapter II 1-6. The richest and noblest Helvetian made a conspiracy among the nobility because of a desire for power and persuaded his people to leave their land with the argument that because of their surpassing courage they would easily get control of all Gaul. 6-12. He easily swayed them because the Helvetians were hemmed in on all sides by natural barriers. 12-15. As a result they had less freedom of movement and were less able to wage war against their neighbors, and thus their warriors were afflicted with great sorrow. 15-18. They considered their land, 240 miles by 180 miles, too small in comparison with their numbers and their glory in war. Chapter III 1-6 Persuaded by their situation and the authority of Orgetorix, the Helvetians decide to get ready for departure: they buy all the wagons and pack animals they can; plant as many crops as possible for supplies on the trip, and make alliances with the nearest states.

  • Oratio Recta and Oratio Obliqua in Caesar's De Bello
    VOICES OF THE ENEMY: ORATIO RECTA AND ORATIO OBLIQUA IN CAESAR’S DE BELLO GALLICO by RANDY FIELDS (Under the Direction of James C. Anderson, jr.) ABSTRACT According to his contemporaries and critics, Julius Caesar was an eminent orator. Despite the lack of any extant orations written by Caesar, however, one may gain insight into Caesar’s rhetorical ability in his highly literary commentaries, especially the De Bello Gallico. Throughout this work, Caesar employs oratio obliqua (and less frequently oratio recta) to animate his characters and give them “voices.” Moreover, the individuals to whom he most frequently assigns such vivid speeches are his opponents. By endowing his adversaries in his Commentarii with the power of speech (with exquisite rhetorical form, no less), Caesar develops consistent characterizations throughout the work. Consequently, the portrait of self-assured, unification-minded Gauls emerges. Serving as foils to Caesar’s own character, these Gauls sharpen the contrast between themselves and Caesar and therefore serve to elevate Caesar’s status in the minds of his reader.

  • From the Editor
    From the Editor Dear E-mentor readers, We are thrilled to observe that our efforts to publish E-mentor journal in English has met such a great interest. That is the fourth edition of the jour- nal prepared and published within the scope of a grant funded by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education. We do hope to be able to continue the project of issuing the international version of E-mentor in the following years as it has proved to be a success. In the current edition, one may distinguish two main directions of consid- eration. The first one refers to the role of information and communication technologies both in education and in business. The latter reflects the chal- lenges that the logistics industry faces nowadays due to the ‘disruptive’ role of IT. Sensors, robots, automation, cloud computing, data analysis, 3D print- ing, autonomous vehicles, artificial intelligence, digital twins or blockchain technology are the examples of disruption mentioned by the author of the paper. Concerning the university, IT appears in the context of adaptive learning and its advantages analyzed by the team of the authors from the University of Central Florida and the Colorado Technical University, with Professor Charles Dziuban as a leader. IT is also present in the papers concerning foreign language learning by the use of videoconferences, instant messaging apps, and international collaboration tools. The concept of professional development through the online course is another example of using IT for academic purposes. Last but not least, is the proposal of an app aimed at eliminating the accessibility barriers, in this case – in Art education.

DESCRIPTORS *Curriculum Development; Elementary Secondary Education; *Fused Curriculum; *Integrated Curriculum; *Interdisciplinary Approach; Program Effectiveness; Unified Studies Curriculum ABSTRACT This document describes a variety of curriculum integration options ranging from concurrent teaching of related subjects to fusion of curriculum focus to residential study focusing on daily living; from 2-week units to year-long courses. Suggestions are offered for choosing proper criteria for successful curriculum integration, dealing with the attitudes of key individuals and groups; and establishing validity. A step-by-step approach to integration is presented, proceeding from selection of an organizing center to a scope and sequence of guiding questions to a matrix of activities for developing integrated units of study. A distinction is made between curriculum-content and metacurriculum--those learning skills helpful in acquiring the curriculum content being taught and in developing the capacity to think and learn independently. The book illuminates the value of higher-order thinking and learning skills and provides a vehicle for their integration into curriculum.

  • Julius Caesar's System Understanding
    JULIUS CAESAR’S SYSTEM UNDERSTANDING OF THE GALLIC CRISIS: A PEEK IN THE MIND OF A HISTORY MAKER Armenia S.(1), De Angelis A.(2) (1) DIAG, Sapienza University of Rome, V.le Ariosto, 25 - 00185 Rome, Italy, - [email protected] President of the System Dynamics Italian Chapter (SYDIC) – www.systemdynamics.it (2) Col. It.A.F. – Teacher of Operations Planning - Joint Services Staff College of the Italian Armed Forces, Piazza della Rovere, 83, 00165 Rome, Italy - [email protected] ABSTRACT When studying history, it usually through the accounts of the achievements of some outstanding leaders, who were capable of grasping the defining elements of the complexity of situations they faced, like Julius Caesar, whose political career was a collection of successes that were the result of his deep understanding of the Roman society and of his sensitivity in appreciating the complex situations in the lands under his control. In this work we will focus on the early stages of Caesar’s campaign in the Gallic war. By a Systems Thinking approach, we will retrace Caesar’s thought process, thus showing that what Caesars faced in those years is no different from many situations that today’s policy makers are required to manage. It is striking to see how many similarities there are between then and now, and how many lessons could be learned (re-learned?) and applied by our policy makers. Caesar’s decisions and following actions were, in fact, the consequence of his deep and thorough understanding of the environment, and because of such systemic comprehension, he could achieve Rome’s desired end-state: securing the northwestern borders.
