    Chapter 12 Aristocrats, Mercenaries, Clergymen and Refugees: Deliberate and Forced Mobility of Armenians in the Early Medieval Mediterranean (6th to 11th Century a.d.) Johannes Preiser-Kapeller 1 Introduction Armenian mobility in the early Middle Ages has found some attention in the scholarly community. This is especially true for the migration of individuals and groups towards the Byzantine Empire. A considerable amount of this re- search has focused on the carriers and histories of individual aristocrats or noble families of Armenian origin. The obviously significant share of these in the Byzantine elite has even led to formulations such as Byzantium being a “Greco-Armenian Empire”.1 While, as expected, evidence for the elite stratum is relatively dense, larger scale migration of members of the lower aristocracy (“azat”, within the ranking system of Armenian nobility, see below) or non- aristocrats (“anazat”) can also be traced with regard to the overall movement of groups within the entire Byzantine sphere. In contrast to the nobility, however, the life stories and strategies of individuals of these backgrounds very rarely can be reconstructed based on our evidence. In all cases, the actual signifi- cance of an “Armenian” identity for individuals and groups identified as “Ar- menian” by contemporary sources or modern day scholarship (on the basis of 1 Charanis, “Armenians in the Byzantine Empire”, passim; Charanis, “Transfer of population”; Toumanoff, “Caucasia and Byzantium”, pp. 131–133; Ditten, Ethnische Verschiebungen, pp. 124–127, 134–135; Haldon, “Late Roman Senatorial Elite”, pp. 213–215; Whitby, “Recruitment”, pp. 87–90, 99–101, 106–110; Isaac, “Army in the Late Roman East”, pp.

  • Surveying Georgia's Past on the Use of Cartographic Sources For
    Annali di Ca’ Foscari. Serie orientale [online] ISSN 2385-3042 Vol. 53 – Giugno 2017 [print] ISSN 1125-3789 Surveying Georgia’s Past On The Use Of Cartographic Sources For Caucasian History Patrizia Licini (Associazione Geografi Italiani, AGeI) Abstract This study represents the historical geographer’s approach to the History of cartography. Modern historians of the Roman Empire and archaeologists misuse geographical information from Ptolemy’s map of the Caucasus–Ptolemy’s 3rd Map of Asia in the standard set of twenty-seven maps, including a world map, all in the Ptolemaic model, with twenty-six regional maps. In fact, modern writers on ancient history think that the story of maps is linear–beginning, middle and end. But the case of Ptolemy is typical in that his work began to have a powerful influence in the fifteenth cen- tury. After Ptolemy’s death in the second half of the second century, however, his Geography had disappeared for a thousand years, and with it the idea of coordinate-based mapping according to a mathematical grid system. No original copies from Ptolemy’s own time have survived. A medieval Greek copy without maps only reappeared in fourteenth-century Florence, with maps first drawn by Florentine cosmographers in further copies in 1415. Here we have an antinomia, an apparent contradiction, which nothing but the History of cartography solves as “Ptolemy’s paradox”. Ptolemy’s maps of Roman Britain makes a striking contrast with the map showing our present state of knowl- edge about the British Isles. It has long been recognized as a puzzling fact that, in Ptolemy’s map of the British Isles, the shape of Britain is turned abruptly to the east from the latitude 55° north, cor- responding to Scotland, so as to make a right angle with the southern part of the country–England and Wales.

  • Negotiating the Roman Past in Later Tenth-Century Armenia
    Negotiating the Roman Past in Later Tenth-century Armenia Tim Greenwood* The Byzantine expansion eastwards into historic regions of Armenia in the second half of the tenth century and the Armenian responses to that expansion both receive modest coverage in Armenian historical narratives. Yet several works of Armenian historical literature were composed during this period which do not comment directly upon present circumstances but which, nevertheless, can be examined for what they reveal about the attitudes of their compilers. This study examines how historic Roman-Armenian encounters were represented in three such works. Despite their proximate dating, they attest a range of perspectives. The anonymous author of the History of Tarōn reimagined the conversion of Armenia at the start of the fourth century by Saint Gregory the Illuminator, highlighting the contribution of the metropolitan of Caesarea in the establishment of sees, monasteries and martyria across the region. A similar process was underway at the time following the Byzantine annexation of Tarōn and the attendant reconfiguration of the ecclesiological landscape. The History of Uxtanēs bishop of Sebasteia was completed between 980 and 989 CE by an Armenian ortho dox bishop and projects historic antagonism between Romans and Armenians. Uxtanēs sharpened the negative presentation of several Roman emperors from Antiquity by applying derogatory epithets usually reserved in Armenian literature for oppressive Persian Šahanšahs. At the same time, Armenian leaders were projected as compromising their auto- nomy. Uxtanēs also incorporated much-altered traditions about Saint Theodore Tiron and the Forty Martyrs of Sebasteia, implying that they were Armenian Christians persecuted for their faith.

    The original source for data in this spreadsheet is a 2002 study for MassDEP by Draper/Lennon, Inc. titled Identification, Characterization, and Mapping of Food Waste and Food Waste Generators in Massachusetts . The final report from this study is available online at: http://www.mass.gov/dep/about/priorities/foodwast.doc. The data was updated in summer 2011 by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 1 office. This study identified large generators of food waste in Massachusetts, such as food processors, wholesalers, grocery stores, institutions, and large restaurants. It calculated estimated food waste generation, shown in tons per year (TPY) in column G, and mapped generator locations to facilitate planning of programs and facilities for capturing source separated organic materials for composting or other diversion. Note that waste generation estimates are not available for food and beverage manufacturers/processors and distributors due to the variability in these sectors. In some other cases, generation estimates are not available for other facilities when data needed to estimate generation is missing for that location. Facility Category Codes in column F marked TYPE show generator groupings in the report as follows: Type Category Description Food and Beverage F Manufacturers/Processors W Wholesale Distributors IH Institutions -Healthcare Facilities IS Institutions -Independent Schools IC Institutions -Colleges/Universities IP Institutions -Correctional Facilities C Resorts and Conference Facilities G Supermarkets and Grocery Stores R Restaurants Most of the columns in the spreadsheet are self‐explanatory.

However, it is hoped that it may also prove of service as a handbook for students of Roman life and literature in general. It is with the latter in mind that I have added the bibliographical note. Naturally, within the brief limits of such a text, it was impossible to defend the point of view adopted on disputed points or to take notice of divergent opinions. Therefore, to show the great debt which I owe to the work of others, and to provide those interested in particular problems with some guide to more detailed study, I have given a list of selected references, which express, I believe, the prevailing views of modern scholarship upon the various phases of Roman History.

Hagiography and chronicle often portray the progress of Christianity as deterministic and providential. However, unique cultural and political elements proved very influential in shaping the success and forms of Christianity in Cappadocia and Armenia, particularly in the fourth and fifth centuries AD.

  • Provincia Armenia in the Light of the Epigraphic Evidence1
    ELECTRUM * Vol. 28 (2021): 135–150 doi:10.4467/20800909EL.21.010.13368 www.ejournals.eu/electrum Provincia Armenia in the Light of the Epigraphic Evidence1 Michael Alexander Speidel http:/orcid.org/0000-0003-2201-6567 Universities of Warsaw and Zürich Abstract: One very prominent context of the Pre-Christian history of Armenia of course lies with its relations with the great neighbouring empires of Parthia and Rome. These relations were mainly the result of Armenia’s geopolitical location between the two empires, its natural resources and its control of strategic long-distance routes. From a Roman point of view, Armenia certainly was the most important geopolitical concern in the East. Roman-Armenian relations therefore are a vast and complex subject, and their history extends over many centuries. In the years between 114 and 117 AD these relations assumed an extraordinary albeit short-lived condition when the kingdom of Greater Armenia became a Roman province. The present contribution reviews the Roman inscriptions that can be dated to this period, as well as the historical evidence they provide for the history of Greater Armenia as a Roman province. Keywords: Armenia, Trajan, Roman History, Latin Epigraphy. Provincia Armenia maior’s new Roman Government In the spring of 114 at Elegeia, the imperial base in Armenia, the Roman emperor Trajan declared to the surprise of the Armenian king and his followers that he “would surrender Armenia to no one, for it belonged to the Romans and was to have a Roman governor” (Dio 68.20.3). After a swift take-over of Armenia and after Trajan “won over” several kings, who “voluntarily submitted” as well as others who were “disobedient” but were 1 For earlier Roman threats to provincialize Armenia maior see RGDA 27.
