Editorial “ I pray not only for them, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, so that they may all be one” (Jn 17:20-21) From the moment Pope Benedict announced his retirement more than the logical conclusion of the process set in voices in the media and from within the Church have been motion by the Second Vatican Council. calling for reform. Many of the more theologically aware commentators have articulated their reform agenda by However, to view the relationship between these two invoking the principle of collegiality. This notion, “the councils through an optic of conflict and revolution is principle of collegiality”, appears to have a pedigree within simplistic and misleading. Rather, in chapter 3 of Lumen Catholic theology and as such it lends a certain degree of Gentium the Fathers of the Second Vatican Council respectability and intellectual clout to those clamouring for complemented the teaching of Pastor Aeternus on the reform. No doubt some degree of reform is needed: the primacy of the Pope by noting “the collegiate character and Vati-leaks affair and its aftermath was a disedifying aspect of the Episcopal order”. It is certainly true that spectacle. However, using the principle of collegiality as Vatican II’s teaching on the “collegial union” of the bishops a catch-all slogan is problematic. Quite simply, its meaning balances the earlier assertions of Vatican I. Moreover Lumen is vague. It is open to a variety of different emphases and Gentium also teaches that “the individual bishops … are the interpretations, some of which may be helpful and foster visible principle and foundation of unity in their particular the renewal of the Church at an institutional level, others of churches” and as such individual bishops enjoy their own which may well prove a hindrance to the process of renewal. proper authority in their diocese. Certain interpretations of the principle of collegiality use it to Nonetheless, an explanatory note was added as an bolster the autonomy of individual bishops in their dioceses. appendix to Lumen Gentium: “‘College’ is not understood These interpretations become unhelpful when they locate … as a group of equals who entrust their power to their a conflict of interests between the autonomy of the local president, but as a stable group whose structure and bishop and the norms of the universal Church. Advocates authority must be learned from Revelation.” It is quite a of this view would argue that the local bishop needs a step from the authentic teaching of Lumen Gentium to heightened autonomy over and against the norms of the conceiving of the relation between the authority of an universal Church. The local bishop, who is directly individual bishop and that of the universal Church in terms acquainted with the exigencies of his local situation, should of a power struggle. This is fundamentally mistaken. A local be able to establish for himself and for his own diocese bishop’s authority is simply not in competition with the local norms concerning ethical issues, ecumenical practices universal Church. This would impose categories of power and questions such as who may be admitted to the and authority drawn from the sphere of earthly politics upon sacraments and under what circumstances. the Church, which is the mystical body of Christ. All too often in these interpretations the principle of Even if one were to go down this route, asserting the collegiality degenerates into code-speak for the enactment authority of the individual bishop in this way would, of the by now very tired canon of dissent: contraception, paradoxically, in the long run only weaken and undermine married clergy, women priests, weird made-up liturgy the bishop concerned.

  • Expulsion from the Senate of the Roman Republic, C.319–50 BC
    Ex senatu eiecti sunt: Expulsion from the Senate of the Roman Republic, c.319–50 BC Lee Christopher MOORE University College London (UCL) PhD, 2013 1 Declaration I, Lee Christopher MOORE, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Thesis abstract One of the major duties performed by the censors of the Roman Republic was that of the lectio senatus, the enrolment of the Senate. As part of this process they were able to expel from that body anyone whom they deemed unequal to the honour of continued membership. Those expelled were termed ‘praeteriti’. While various aspects of this important and at-times controversial process have attracted scholarly attention, a detailed survey has never been attempted. The work is divided into two major parts. Part I comprises four chapters relating to various aspects of the lectio. Chapter 1 sees a close analysis of the term ‘praeteritus’, shedding fresh light on senatorial demographics and turnover – primarily a demonstration of the correctness of the (minority) view that as early as the third century the quaestorship conveyed automatic membership of the Senate to those who held it. It was not a Sullan innovation. In Ch.2 we calculate that during the period under investigation, c.350 members were expelled. When factoring for life expectancy, this translates to a significant mean lifetime risk of expulsion: c.10%. Also, that mean risk was front-loaded, with praetorians and consulars significantly less likely to be expelled than subpraetorian members.

  • Roman Religion
    4 Roman Religion 1. “By pietas and fides the Romans Reached TheiR PResent eminence” the strength of Rome rested on a number of foundations. Among these were its extraordinarily vital political culture and its capacity to sustain warfare for extended periods of time. Previous chapters have emphasized these features, but in this chapter and the next, focus shifts to less obvious sources of Rome’s strength, namely the special character of its society whose dual foundations were the household and the civic religion of the city. Roman Religiosity during the period of the Republic, outsiders were struck by the religiosity of the Romans. In the second century b.c., Polybius, a Greek statesman and historian who lived much of his adult life in Rome, claimed that it was “scrupulous fear of the gods that kept the Roman commonwealth together” (6.56). A century or so later another expatriate Greek, Dionysius of Halicarnassus, was also impressed by the concern of Romans for religion. Writing about the second king of Rome, dionysius noted that as a result of Numa’s activities, Rome possessed more religious observances than any other city “Greek or non-Greek, even among those who thought of themselves as most god- fearing” (2.63). Needless to say, Romans themselves promoted the belief that fidelity to their oaths and treaties and their general reverence for the gods explained their imperial success. “the gods look kindly on these qualities, for it was by pietas and fides that Romans reached their present eminence” declared the consul Q. Marcius Philippus in 169 b.c.

  • FLAVIA DOMITILLA AS DELICATA: a NEW INTERPRETATION of SUETONIUS, VESP. 3* in This Way Suetonius Informs Us About Flavia Domitill
    FLAVIA DOMITILLA AS DELICATA: A NEW INTERPRETATION OF SUETONIUS, VESP. 3* Abstract: This paper proposes a new interpretation of the passage in Suetonius’ Life of Vespasian (Suet., Vesp. 3). The ancient historian, talking about Flavia Domitilla, the wife of Vespasian and the mother of Titus and Domitian, defines her as delicata of Statilius Capella, the Roman knight from Sabratha. Until now, scholars have thought that the relationship between Flavia Domitilla and Statilius Capella was sexual in nature, on the basis of the literary sources concerning the adjective delicatus/a and its meaning. Thanks to the epigraphic evidence about the delicati, not yet analyzed in reference to this pas- sage, it is possible to reach to new conclusions about Flavia Domitil- la’s status. The paper reviews her relationship with Statilius Capella, the sentence of the recuperatores who declared her ingenua and consequently Roman citizen (and not vice versa), and the role played in this trial by Flavius Liberalis. Inter haec Flaviam Domitillam duxit uxorem, Statili Capellae equitis R(omani) Sabratensis ex Africa delicatam olim Latinaeque condi- cionis, sed mox ingenuam et civem Rom(anam) reciperatorio iudicio pronuntiatam, patre asserente Flavio Liberale Ferenti genito nec quic- quam amplius quam quaestorio scriba. Ex hac liberos tulit Titum et Domitianum et Domitillam. Uxori ac filiae superstes fuit atque utramque adhuc privatus1. In this way Suetonius informs us about Flavia Domitilla2, the wife of Vespasian and the mother of Titus and Domitian. This evidence of Suetonius is of particular importance because it constitutes the only information about her. In fact, apart from the Epitome de Caesaribus, where we find a brief reference to Flavia Domitilla, Suetonius represents the only known source about her life.

Since the broth- ers wished to found a city, and since only one of them could do that, R or at least only one of them could give his name to the city, the equality that came with being twins constituted a problem. This was solved by means of a competition, a competition that Romulus won (unambiguously, ambigu- ously, or just by cheating). At some stage afterwards, Remus was killed. This may have happened because Romulus’ victory was not certain, Remus’ men claimed victory for Remus, and a violent altercation ensued, or because Re- mus leapt over his brother’s walls. In some versions, it was Romulus himself who killed his brother, in others, a man called Celer, or, in one late version, an otherwise unknown and somewhat mysterious Fabius. And so on. But, if the city could only be founded by one individual, why should Rome’s founder have had a twin brother in the first place? The story is obvi- ously not historical, so Remus must have been invented for some reason; his existence must have served some purpose. For those who are prepared to draw comparisons with other mythological stories, ones broadly similar in nature, and to base arguments on those comparisons, the discerning of patterns and parallels may offer some explanation, or may simply move the problem into a much larger context where it may, or may not, be solved.

The academic environment that Florida Atlantic University’s Department of History established facilitated my curiosity, allowing me to realize and pursue my passion in film history. I would like to express my deepest gratitude towards Dr. Jeffrey Buller, whose constant support and academic guidance gave me the confidence to challenge myself, pushing my intellectual boundaries to new levels. Our enlightening discussions over various lunches were some of my favorite parts of this entire process, and have given way to a long-lasting friendship I am honored to have. I would also like to thank my other committee members: Dr. Boyd Breslow, whose revisions and careful feedback advanced my research into unfamiliar territory, and Dr. Ilaria Serra, who sparked my interest in film analysis and allowed me to audit her Italian History through Film course. My committee members were not the only faculty to have supported me in this endeavor, and while it would be difficult to name the entire esteemed faculty at the FAU History Department, they have enriched my time here in such profound ways.

  • Michael Costigan*
    VATICAN II AS I EXPERIENCED IT Michael Costigan* A memorable Roman autumn Autumn is an enchanting time in Rome. By October the relentless heat of July and August, from which many of the Romans themselves flee, is only an uncomfortable memory. The days are shorter, often blessed by cloudless skies, with mild sunshine enhancing the golden glow of some of the ancient and modern buildings, especially in the late afternoon. The Romans, including the Pope and his court, have returned, the number of tourists has declined, the schools and universities are open for business and hot roasted chestnuts are on sale at street corners – or used to be in my day. After living through nine Roman autumns as a seminarian and student- priest between 1952 and 1961, I welcomed the chance in 1963 to experience one more of those magical seasons, probably my last and certainly the most memorable of all. I was there that year for the second of the four autumnal sessions of the Second Vatican Council, as a priest-reporter commissioned to cover the event for the Melbourne Catholic Advocate, of which I was the Associate Editor, as well as for three other Australian Catholic weekly newspapers. With the Australian Catholic Historical Society marking the 50th anniversary this year of the opening of Vatican II by making that event the theme of several of the monthly papers scheduled for 2012, the Society’s President suggested I help to set the scene by painting a picture of what it was actually like to be at the Council. My writings and diary My memory of the 77 days I spent in Rome during that autumn is aided by the voluminous reports I mailed back to Australia and by a pamphlet subsequently published by the Australian Catholic Truth Society with the title Vatican Council Survey, in which I summarised those reports.1 In addition, I kept a rough diary in an exercise book in which, usually before retiring late at night, I noted my daily activities in and around the Council.
