A Century never consisted of 100 men, and in Republican times only consisted of 60 men. The Centurio was normally a career soldier who had worked his way up through the ranks and was tough and experienced. In battle he would lead from the front, which meant they had a high mortality rate. The equipment reflected his high status and was designed to make him easy to pick out in battle.

This negative perception of Germania – the modern Netherlands and Germany – lay behind the reluctance of Rome’s great military commanders to tame its immense wilderness. Caius Iulius Caesar famously threw a wooden pontoon bridge across the River Rhine (Rhenus) in just ten days, not once but twice, in 55 and 53 bc. The next Roman general to do so was Marcus Agrippa, in 39/38 bc or 19/18 bc. However, none of these missions was for conquest, but in response to pleas for assistance from an ally of the Romans, the Germanic nation of the Ubii. It was not until the reign of Caesar Augustus that a serious attempt was made to annex the land beyond the wide river and transform it into a province fit for Romans to live in.

    AGNIESZKA TOMAS, LIFE ON THE FRONTIER: ROMAN MILITARY FAMILIES IN LOWER MOESIA STUDIA EUROPAEA GNESNENSIA 16/2017 ISSN 2082-5951 DOI 10.14746/seg.2017.16.12 Agnieszka Tomas (Warsaw) LIFE ON THE FRONTIER: ROMAN MILITARY FAMILIES IN LOWER MOESIA Abstract The epigraphic evidence from four Lower Moesian legionary bases provides information about military-civilian society living along the Lower Danubian frontier zone. The inscriptions on stone originating from these four sites informs not only about the names, age or status of the people living in the border zone, but may be helpful in recreating the emergence of Roman provincial society in the military garrisons. The epigraphic evidence collected from Oescus, Novae, Durostorum, and Troesmis includes only the inscriptions related to the people who were not active soldiers and officers serving in the legions. The aim of the paper is to find out whether the epigraphic evidence may bring any additional information concerning the civilian and military families, ethnic and social composition of the inhabitants living near legionary bases, conditions of life, and the nature of the settlement. Key words Roman frontier archaeology, Lower Moesia, extramural settlement, epigraphic evidence 225 STUDIA EUROPAEA GNESNENSIA 16/2017 · SOCIAL HISTORY, RELIGION AND PROSOPOGRAPHY Géza Alföldy published some tens of monographs and a number of articles, book chapters and reviews on epigraphy, social history, history of the Roman provinces, Roman army and administration, historiography and prosopography. He was also very devoted to onomastic analyses, paying the same attention to the elites and to the low social strata. The role of Roman settlements near military bases can be analysed from different points of view, but each investigation leads to observations which are crucial in understanding the development of the Roman provincial society.

The title suggests a composite approach of the subject, without claiming to unravel all the aspects of the issue. The topic can be seen as an equation with multiple variables that this thesis will try to define along the way. The submitted task is based on the necessity of establishing a pattern of recruitment for the province Moesia Inferior. Even though there are many studies where certain aspects of the legionary recruitment in the Roman provinces have been discussed, for example, Germania, Gallia, Britannia, or analyses of recruiting different ethnic groups in the Roman army (the Batavians, the Thracians, the Dacians, etc.), the analysis of the imperial recruitment system in the Danubian province debated here will underline interesting elements concerning the mobility and also the immobility of the legions.

    The Gladiator’s Present: Here are the Troop Types in the Roman legion The Roman Legionnaire • Only Roman citizens could sign up for the army. • They had to be fit and able to fight. • These lower soldiers were not allowed to marry. • Their amour gave them excellent protection. • They carried a curved shield and they could punch the enemy with the metal boss in the centre. • In battle they would first throw their special spear, called a pilum. • Then they would draw their swords and stab from behind the safety of their shields. • They were very disciplined obeying every order. • A centurion was in charge of eighty of these men. • They could march twenty miles a day carrying heavy equipment, and then build a camp for the night. Legionnaireʹs Sword and Equipment The Roman Centurion • A centurion was in charge of a century made up of 80 legionary soldiers. • His equipment was very different so his men could quickly find him in battle. • He carried a vine stick as a badge of rank, which he would use this to punish his men. • The horsehair crest on his helmet went from side to side. • He wore medals on his chest, these were awarded for bravery in battle. • Centurions could marry, and their wives lived in the barracks with them. • They did not march, they rode on horseback. • A centurion chose his second in command, this soldier was called an optio. • Optios carried wax tablets on which they could write passwords and orders of the day. • Only the very best legionaries could hope to become optios and then centurions, this would take 15 years or more.

CHEESMAN, M.A. FELLOW AND LECTURER OF NEW COLLEGE, OXFORD OXFORD AT THE CLARENDON PRESS 1914 OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS LONDON EDINBURGH GLASGOW NEW YORK TORONTO MELBOURNE BOMBAY HUMPHREY MILFORD M.A. PUBLISHER TO THE UNIVERSITY \ 'C^ ' ^^P- 1637 PREFACE The following essay is an attempt to deal with an interesting branch of Roman military history which has not previously been made the subject of an independent treatise. In a study of this kind, which relies largely upon epigraphical evi- dence to which additions are constantly being made, it is equally necessary that the scattered material available should at intervals be collected and utilized, and that the unfortunate collector should realize that his conclusions will inevitably be revised in the future in the light of fresh evidence. I hope, accordingly, that I have made some use of all sources of information available without acquiring or expressing excessive confi- dence in the finality of my deductions. Students of the military system of the Roman Empire may complain that a certain number of complicated questions are too summarily disposed of in the following pages, but if discussion of the evidence in detail has been occasionally omitted with the idea of keeping the size of this book within reason- able limits, I hope that I have been careful to indicate where uncertainty lies.

Connolly for the Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum, Mainz, reproduced here with their kind permission. The chamfron and the medallion on the horse, the face helmet and the leg protectors were found in the Straubing Hoard (Keim and Klumbach, 1951). The painted shield comes from excavations at Dura-Europos, after the preliminary field reports from 1933-34 and 1934-35, published in 1939. With reference to the overall appearance of the cavalryman, the number of javelins and the way they are held in the left hand together with the shield, see Arrian, Tactica, who describes these equestrian games in detail.

  • A New Look at the Evolution of Lip-Blown Instruments: Classical
    A NEW LOOK AT THE HISTORICAL, LINGUISTIC AND TAXONOMIC BASES FOR THE EVOLUTION OF LIP-BLOWN INSTRUMENTS FROM CLASSICAL ANTIQUITY UNTIL THE END OF THE MIDDLE AGES Don L. Smithers, D. Phil. (Oxon.) To the memory of Frank LL Harrison Jn the writing of history it is just as misleading/or an author to conceal what actually hap­ pened as to report what did not. The historian's task is to instruct and persuade serious stu­ dents by means of the truth of the words and actions he presents, and this if.feet must be permanent, not tempora~y. Polybius, Histories or nearly a century it has been fashionable to think of metal lip-blown instru­ ments as having been introduced into Europe after the decline and fall of the F Roman Empire. The agencies for this alleged process of introduction and its concomitant technologies are said to have been the Arabs and/ or Moors: from the Arabs in the eastern Mediterranean and the Moors in southwestern Europe sometime during the Middle Ages. 1 Such a notion was promulgated by adherents to what Her­ bert Heyde has referred to as the Wiener Kulturkreislehre. 2 But as fashionable as this idea may have been and the large number of scholars and organologists who unques­ tioningly subscribed to it, there is now ample evidence to dismiss it as having been but the result of considerable wishful thinking, based largely upon insufficient data, an imperfect historical record (and an imperfect reading of it), misconstrued linguistic and etymological evidence, and, not in the least, a wrong-headed, if romantic, ethnocentric­ ity enthusiastically bestowed upon Muslim culture and its avowed superlative influ­ ence on Western Civilization.
