Italy and the provinces. From these. equestrian, officers were drawn, many,,of, the. men,who,, reached the,. highe3t, posts in theequestrian service., It is the, aim. of this work to, place in context the decurions of North Africa., and. then to. study the_ contribution of. the North African provinces to the emperor's equestrian service. Any., such study must, depend on. a. detailedstudy of individual careers. The prosopography (bound separately., as-Volume-Two., for convenience) is-the first stage in processing, of some of the material... The next stage is to, be found in the. those, on the cfficers, and, , chapters, especially equestrian procuintors from North Africa,,. Included in the prosoPography are all, the equestrian officers and procurators-of whose African origin I have been convinced;, a number of similar men whose African origin is., uncertain, or has been suggested by other scholars on what seem to be inadequate grounds; and some senators whose families had close connections with the upper classes of the African towns. Also included are a number of municipal dignitaries. (e. g. C., Caecilius Gallus, L. Cosinius Primus) whose, careers seemed to require special,., comment,, and ]2rimipilares., many of whom will have, received commissions as centurionson the basis, of their pquestrian, status. Two points connected with the prosopography, are to, be noted. It has been the aim to cite every relevant discussion, of each career. EE is-, only quoted where the_discussion is, useful --for the most part, the articles, by Groag and Stein., Works which, have been, superseded are normally quoted-when thk. in them differs -view expressed from more recent opinions - e, g, Lambrechts II is rarely quotedp except where. Barbieri is less adequate or unconvincing. The second point-is that the debt to M*, H*Go Fflaum can scarcely be (I;, ', in the Preface. Without the his, expressed adequately , -, ýgalley-proofs, of *-:,- 'Carrieres procuratoriennes'. the discussion, of procurators wouldýbe, far less adequate; - in the prosopography2 CP is only quoted at length when there is reason, to question some of the views expressed in it; ý in the majority of notes on, procurators, CP has been followed-without question, a fact which may at first sight be concealed by the brief citation of M. Pflaum's discussion. - The material used, throughout this work is mainly epigmphic; to avoid, the distraction of numerous footnotes or references in the text., all persons by included in index mentioned name are an which gives, the most convenient - reference to an, inscription-or discussion. For Africans it also givesýthe. Origo, if this is known. On a airMar principle., printed works cited in the text are normally listed in the bibliography; only there will full details be found. The references inthe text are normally given in the briefest intelligible form, Where only one work by an author has been used., the author's name seems to ,- be sufficient; where more than, one work is cited, a keyword is normally used; thus 'Les procurateurs biquestres sous le haut-Empire romainlýby E. G. Pflaum (Paris, 1950) is cited as Pflaum, Procurateurs; 'Die Reichsbeamten von Dazien' (Budapest, by A. Stein 194J+) as Stein, Dacia. The scope of, this work., geographically and historically is limited. the Except in chapter on-provincial councilsq the area considered is that of the three African provinces of the first-century, A. D.; Africa Proconsular-is,, Caesariensis., Mauretania and Mauretania Tingitana. - - Numidia,, which did not become a province de ure until the reign of Seveniz, has been regarded as a (as separate province it was by the imperial adminstration) throughout the period of the empire. The main period covered by this work is the first two and a half centuries of the Christian em; the bulk-of. the material which can be securely dated coming in the second and early third centuries. Some later developments in municipal organisation are considered., but there is no suggestion-that this consideration is a full treatment of the subject. The municipal magistracies held in provincial tcnms have been outlined 7. the duovir dutiess held dicundo; _ post of quinquennalis. with census was every four years., usually by men who had already been duoviri. A priesthood of the imperial cults involving a seat on the provincial council, was normally held aftexýthe duovirate, This pattern, with minor variations-, seems' to" have held good throughout the African provinces. As far as possible, an attempt has been made to compare the numbers of equestrian officers, Praefecti fabrum,, produced by the various provinces. _etc. The comparisons have been made,, but it is not clear how far they are valid; (for the number of men known as equestrian officers example) in any province will depend on several factors besides the number of such men who were natives of that province. 'Epigraphic consciousness' will be of considerable'' importance - the popularity of the custom of setting up inscriptions will vary from province to province and from period to period; geology will also' irom be important,, for where suitable stone has to be imported a distance, inscriptions are likely to be erased and the stones re-used; also some inscriptions may be carved on wood or painted on stoie.

  • The Apologetics of Tertullian by John
    Identity and Religion in Roman North Africa: the apologetics of Tertullian by John Elmer P. Abad A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Graduate Department of Classics University of Toronto @ copyright by John Elmer Abad (2018) John Elmer Abad Doctor of Philosophy Department of Classics University of Toronto 2018 Abstract This dissertation examines the strategies employed by Tertullian in the construction and articulation of Christian identity in the pluralistic Roman North African society. The focus will be the apologetic works of Tertullian, the Ad Martyras, the Ad Nationes and the Apologeticum written around 197 A.D. Popular biases against Christians, the Romanizing tendencies of local elites in North Africa, the marginalization of sub-elites, the influence of cultural and intellectual revolution known as the Second Sophistic Movement, and the political ideologies and propaganda of emperor Septimius Severus – all these influenced Tertullian’s attempt to construct and articulate a Christian identity capable of engaging the ever changing socio- political landscape of North African at the dawn of the third century A.D. I shall examine select areas in antiquity where identities were explored, contested and projected namely, socio- cultural, religious, and political. I have identified four spheres which I refer to as “sites” of identity construction, namely paideia, the individual, community and “religion”. Chapter One provides a brief survey of the various contexts of Tertullian’s literary production. It includes a short description of the socio-political landscape during the reign of Emperor Septimius Severus, a brief history of Christianity in Roman North Africa, an introduction to the person of Tertullian, and his place within the “apologetic” tradition.

  • "Dominus Muntanus". Mascula/Khenchela's Epigraph and the History of a Blunder
    "Dominus Muntanus". Mascula/Khenchela's epigraph and the history of a blunder Alessandro Rossi ["Ager Veleias", 3.05 (2008)] Memoriae Peter Brock Toronto University (Thank You, professor …) 1. INTRODUCTION [1] Towards the end of IV century C.E. Basil of Caesarea explains in a long letter [2], focusing on the issue of baptism validity, whether celebrated by heretics and schismatics, that: The Pepuzans, then, are obviously heretical. For they have blasphemed against the Holy Spirit by unlawfully and shamelessly attributing the name of Paraclete to Montanus and Priscilla. They are condemned, therefore, either because they make men divine, or because they insult [3] the Holy Spirit by comparing him to men, and are thus liable to eternal condemnation because blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is unforgivable [4]. What basis to be accepted, then does the baptism have of these who baptize into the Father and the Son and Montanus or Priscilla? Such an interesting notice, about the occurred identification on the liturgical level between the Cataphrygians prophets and the Paraclet, should be submitted to critics considering both the polemical pattern in which it is included, and the characteristics of the polemic itself. Discussing on the difference between baptism either officiated by heretics, unacceptable for him, or officiated by schismatics (i.e. extra ecclesiam officiators just due to discipline, and not due to doctrinal dissensions), or during illegal meetings, Basil classifies Pepuzans, this term clearly used here as synonymous of Cataphrygians/Montanists, as heretic. The baptismal formula ascribed to them, even if preserving the trinitarian form, substitutes the name of the Spirit with the name of one out of the two prophets.

  • The End of Local Magistrates in the Roman Empire
    The end of local magistrates in the Roman Empire Leonard A. CURCHIN University of Waterloo, Canadá [email protected] Recibido: 15 de julio de 2013 Aceptado: 10 de diciembre de 2013 ABSTRACT Previous studies of the status of local magistrates in the Late Empire are unsatisfying and fail to explain when and why local magistracies ended. With the aid of legal, epigraphic, papyrological and literary sources, the author re-examines the functions and chronology of both regular and quasi-magistrates, among them the curator, defensor and pater civitatis. He finds that the expense of office-holding was only part of the reason for the extinction of regular magistracies. More critical was the failure of local magistrates to control finances and protect the plebeians. Key words: Cursus honorum. Late Roman Empire. Roman administration. Roman cities. Roman gov- ernment. Roman magistrates. El fin de los magistrados locales en el Imperio romano RESUMEN Los estudios previos relativos a la condición de los magistrados locales durante el Bajo Imperio son poco satisfactorios, porque dejan sin aclarar cuándo y cómo se extinguieron las magistraturas locales. Con ayuda de fuentes jurídicas, epigráficas, papirológicas y literarias, el autor examina de nuevo las funciones y la cronología de magistrados regulares y cuasi-magistrados, como el curator, el defensor y el pater civitatis. Se considera que los gastos aparejados a los cargos públicos explican sólo en parte la extinción de las magistraturas regulares; más crucial fue, en este sentido, el hecho de que los magistra- dos locales de este período fallasen a la hora de restringir los gastos o de proteger a los plebeyos.
