  • Political Crisis in Rhetorical Exercises of the Early Roman Empire Shunichiro Yoshida the University of Tokyo
    ISSN: 2519-1268 Issue 2 (Spring 2017), pp. 39-50 DOI: 10.6667/interface.2.2017.34 Political Crisis in Rhetorical Exercises of the Early Roman Empire SHUNICHIRO YOSHIDA The University of Tokyo Abstract The ancient Romans experienced a great political crisis in the first century B. C. They fought many civil wars, which ended the republic and led to the establishment of the empire. The nature of these civil wars and the new regime was a politically very sensitive question for the next generation and could not be treated in a direct manner. In this paper I shall examine how literature in this age dealt with this sensitive problem. Special attention will be paid on declamations (rhetorical exercises on fictitious themes), which discussed repeatedly themes concerned with political crises such as domestic discord or rule of a tyrant.

Politics in Rome in the 1st Century B.C. Rome experienced its greatest political change in the 1st century B.C. Since the latter half of the previous century, its Republican system, which was established in the late 6th century B.C. according to the tradition, proved to contain serious problems. This led to repeated fierce civil wars in Rome. In the middle of the 1st century B.C., Caesar fought against Pompey and other members of the senatorial nobility who tried to defend the traditional system and defeated them completely.

Recent osteological analyses of archaeological human skeletal remains from the Ust’-Yurt Plateau, Uzbeki- stan, provided the opportunity to obtain samples for radiocarbon dating. The results of 18 accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) dates are presented in this paper and provide the first absolute dates for late prehistoric and early historic archaeolog- ical sites in Uzbekistan. The AMS dates suggest that most sites are earlier than have been traditionally thought based on relative dating using artifact typologies. INTRODUCTION Russian scholarship in Central Asia has traditionally concentrated on the examination of archaeo- logically defined domestic areas and material culture as a means of interpreting whether remains belonged to nomadic or sedentary peoples (e.g.

The Egyptian civilization is thought to have been begun in about 3150 BC until 31 BC. For the ancient Greek civilization, it started in the period of Minoan (ca. 3200 BC) up to the ending of the Hellenistic era. There are various parallels and dissimilarities between both civilizations. They co-existed during a certain timeframe (from ca. 2000 to ca. 146 BC); however, they were in two different geographic areas. Both civilizations were massive traders, subsequently, they deeply influenced the regional civilizations which have developed in that region. Various scientific and technological principles were established by both civilizations through their long histories. Water management was one of these major technologies. Accordingly, they have significantly influenced the ancient world’s hydro-technologies.

  • Warfare in the Sicilian Historiographical Tradition ∗
    Histos Supplement ( ) – WARFARE IN THE SICILIAN HISTORIOGRAPHICAL TRADITION ∗ Frances Pownall raditionally, in both antiquity and modern scholarship, the historiography of ancient Sicily has been considered apart from that of the Greek mainland, 1 and where any direct influence has been T 2 recognised, it has generally been only from east to west. The almost complete loss of Sicilian historical texts prior to Diodorus Siculus (whose narrative is heavily influenced by his contemporary context in Augustan Rome) further complicates the situation. 3 Nevertheless, the complex and tumultuous history of Sicily provides a critical object lesson in the process through which the narrative of warfare became polarised in the histo- riographical tradition. 4 As dynastic autocrats branded their territorial expansion as a defence against external enemies, upon their expulsion these same campaigns were rebranded as imperialistic and tyrannical by their successors as a means of legitimising the transfer of power. A parallel polarity can be seen in the Sicilian historiographic tradition’s fraught dialogue with the mainland historiographic tradition on the construction of Greek identity ∗ I would like to thank the co-editors for their kind invitation to contribute to this volume. All translations are my own. 1 The extant ‘fragments’ (or, more properly, citations of lost works by later writers) from the historiographic tradition of ancient Sicily can be found in Jacoby, FGrHist , nos. @@A‒; translations and commentaries can now be found in Brill’s New Jacoby , and I shall henceforth cite them under their BNJ reference. 2 E.g., the Sicilian historian Philistus’ alleged ‘plagiarism’ from Thucydides: BNJ @@ T A and F @ .

It is a story not just of battles and betrayal, but also of the interactions between dissimilar peoples in a multiethnic army trying to coordinate, fight, and win, while commanded by a Punic officer corps which may or may not have been competent. Carthaginian mercenaries are one piece of a larger narrative about the struggle between Carthage and Rome for dominance in the Western Mediterranean, and their history illustrates the evolution of the mercenary system employed by the Carthaginian Empire to extend her power and ensure her survival.

  • Italo-Hellenistic Sanctuaries of Pentrian Samnium: Questions of Accessibility
    doi: 10.2143/AWE.13.0.3038731 AWE 13 (2014) 63-79 ITALO-HELLENISTIC SANCTUARIES OF PENTRIAN SAMNIUM: QUESTIONS OF ACCESSIBILITY RACHEL VAN DUSEN Abstract This article addresses the region of Pentrian Samnium, located in the Central Apennines of Italy. The traditional view regarding ancient Samnium presents the region as a backwater which was economically marginalised and isolated. This article examines Pentrian religious architecture from the 3rd to the 1st century BC in order to present an alternative reading of the evidence towards a more favourable view of the region with respect to its socio- economic conditions and openness to ideas and developments in Italy. The early 3rd century BC marks a time of great transformation in Italy. Roman imperialism was sweeping through the entire peninsula, large stretches of territory were being seized and Roman power was being solidified via colonies, military camps and unbalanced alliances in many of the regions in both the hinterland and along the coast. Yet, in the midst of these changes one region of Italy remained almost completely intact and autonomous – Pentrian Samnium.1 However, one look at the political map of Italy during this period suggests that while on the inside Pentrian territory, located high in the Central Apennines, remained virtually untouched by Roman encroachment, on the outside it had become entirely surrounded by Roman colonies and polities unquestionably loyal to Rome. Pentrian Samnium was the largest and most long-lived of all the Samnite regions. From the early 3rd century BC onwards, it can be argued that the Pentri made up the only Samnite tribe to have remained truly ‘Samnite’ in its culture and identity.
