The appearance of Judaism will be first discussed using available literary and archaeological evidence. Its spiritual cousin Christianity appeared in Lycia in the middle of the 1st century A.D. Again, texts and archaeological realia will be used to elucidate its founding in Lycia, and then its growth will be traced over the next two centuries until Licinius’ edict in 313. Important personalities such as Paul, Methodius, and Nicholas will be evaluated regarding their inter- actions with the nascent Jewish and Christian communities. The geography of Mediterranean Lycia and its important ports will play a key role in the discus- sion. As Akyürek writes, “These coastal cities have had the possibility to develop by utilizing the opportunities provided by their harbors in maintaining a close contact with the world of those days”.1 The article assumes several important sociological hypotheses advanced by Stark: 1) Diasporan Jewish communi- ties tended to be located in port cities (no. 5-2); 2) Paul tended to missionize port cities (no. 5-5), 3) Paul tended to missionize cities with substantial Jewish Diasporan communities (nos. 5-6), and 4) cities with a significant Diasporan community were Christianized sooner than other cities (nos. 5-8).2 Jews in Lycia Non-Jewish traditions sometimes attributed the origin of the Jews to Lycia. Homer recounts that when Bellerophon came to Lycia, he had a great bat- tle with the “glorious Solymoi”.3 This battle ended in defeat for Bellerophon, and his son Isandros was slain by this people. Herodotus also placed this tribe in Lycia.4 The 3rd century B.C. Egyptian author Manetho associates the Solymites with the Jews.5 During the early Hellenistic period, even the Jews 1 Akyürek 2018, 37. 2 Stark 2006, 123, 132-135. 3 Homer, Iliad 6.184-204. 4 Herodotus, Historia 1.173; cf. Stebnicka 2015, 25. 5 Manetho, Fragment 54. This section is preserved by the Jewish apologist Josephus in Contra Apion 1.248. For Josephus “doctoring” other references to “Solymites” as “Hierosolymites”, see Barclay’s 12 Mark Wilson themselves began to claim that they were the ancient Solymoi. This tradition is reflected later in Josephus who quotes the ancient writer Cherilos that the Jews had once lived in the Solymean Mountains.6 After the fall of Jerusalem in A.D. 70, Greek and Roman authors began to make this association as well. As Brenk writes, “So strong was their (the Jews) resurgence in the period, that the Solymoi connection has even been considered an invention of Flavian authors, having nothing to do with the Hellenistic age”.7 Tacitus mentions that the Solymoi gave rise to the Hebrews who later founded the city of Hierosolyma (“holy” Jerusalem), thus exploiting the linguistic similarity.8 In Sibylline Oracle 4, probably a Jewish composition dating around A.D. 80, the Roman destruc- tion of the temple in Jerusalem is viewed as an attack on the land of the Soly- moi. The interesting thing, as Whitmarsh notes, “is that the passage weaves in a second level of Iliadic reminiscence, intertextually assimilating the sack of Jerusalem with that of Troy. This is a passage crammed full of Iliadic motifs”.9 For the Flavian authors the Solymoi, once worthy allies of Hector, now were the tragic losers in their struggle against the might of Rome.10 Leaving such traditions aside, there is little early literary evidence for the first Jewish communities in Lycia. Josephus mentions that Antiochus III settled two thousand Jewish families from Mesopotamia and Babylonia in the rebel- lious provinces of Lydia and Phrygia around 210 B.C. “to guard the interests of the Seleucid government”. Antiochus III commanded “that they be pro- vided with houses and land and be exempted from taxes on produce for ten years”.11 Paul’s family was probably settled in Cilicia along with other Jews when Antiochus IV re-founded Tarsus in 171 B.C.12 However, such a specific reference for the settlement of Jews in Lycia does not appear in the literary record. Nevertheless, during the Hellenistic period “the Jews spread through- out Asia Minor as far as Bithynia and Pontus on the Black Sea”.13 The letter of the Roman consul Lucius in 139 B.C. to Ptolemy VIII and Attalus III validates this statement. Among the various lands (χώρας) in the Mediterranean region note in Josephus 2005, 60 n. 327. For more on Mantheo and the Solymites, see Schäfer 1997, 18-20. 6 Josephus, Contra Apion 1.172-174; cf. Homer, Odyssey 5.283. This tradition is confused in two ways. The Solyman Mountains are said to be set next to Lake Asphalitis, the Roman name for the Dead Sea in Palestine. And the scholia identify them with Lycian Termessos, which is actually in Pisidia; see Whitmarsh 2013, 233-234. 7 Brenk, 1999, 226. 8 Tacitus, Historiae 5.2.3. 9 The relevant sections of Oracle 4 are 115-118 and 125-127; see Whitmarsh 2013, 237. For more on the date and provenance of Book 4, see Collins 1983, 1:381-383. 10 Roman hegemony over Judea is depicted among the Claudian reliefs of numerous conquered nations at the Sebasteion in Aphrodisias; see Smith et al. 2008, 26-27. It is also seen on Vespasian’s coin that shows a personified Judea sitting under a palm tree under the Latin caption IUD(A)EA CAPTA; see Dow 2011, 265-267. 11 Josephus, Antiquities 12.148-153. For a discussion of the historicity of Antiochus’ letter to Zeuxis, see the comments of Marcus, his translator and editor in Josephus 1957, 764. 12 Wilson 2003a, 96-98. 13 Hegermann 1989, 146. Jews and Christians in Ancient Lycia: A Fresh Appraisal 13 with a Jewish presence, he names Lycia, and specifically the city of Phaselis.14 At the time of the letter’s composition, Lycia was independent, having gained its freedom from Rhodes in 169 B.C.15 The Ptolemies had previously controlled Lycia from 295 B.C. to 197 B.C. when Antiochus III conquered the region.16 A likely scenario is that the Ptole- mies allowed Jewish settlement in Lycia for the same reasons the Seleucids did in Lydia and Phrygia. Ptolemy VIII believed that the Jews “will be well disposed guardians of our possessions; because of their piety towards God; and because I know that my predecessors have born witness to them, that they are faithful, and with alacrity do what they are desired to do”.17 A large Jew- ish community already existed in Egypt by the 3rd century B.C. In fact, the Jewish population of Alexandria may have been larger than Jerusalem’s, thus prompting the need to translate the Hebrew Bible into Greek so the Greek- speaking Jews there could read it.18 Cyprus was a Ptolemaic territory for much of this same period, and Josephus mentions the presence of Jewish communi- ties in Ptolemaic Cyprus.19 Jewish merchants and administrators undoubtedly traveled from Alexandria and Paphos to Lycia to conduct business at this time, especially in key port cities like Patara, Myra, and Phaselis, and some likely remained to settle there. Only a decade after Lucius’ letter the Romans established the province of Asia in 129 B.C. and slowly increased their hegemony in Anatolia. Augus- tus granted his Jewish client king, Herod the Great, contracts for territorial revenues in the East, and Herod used his authority to remit tribute and tax payments to various places including Phaselis (Φασηλίταις).20 Herod’s largesse would certainly have fostered good will towards the Jews living in Lycia.

    Georgy Kantor Lycia et Pamphylia: A Social and Institutional History The project which I am proposing to undertake is a social and institutional history of the Roman province of Lycia and Pamphylia, from the process of establishment of Roman rule in the region in the late Republic and the Julio-Claudian period to the coming of Christianity and the separation of the constituent parts of the province in the early fourth century AD. The project aims at utilising different kinds of evidence – documentary, archaeological, numismatic, literary. Several factors combine to make such a study worthwhile. The isolated nature of the region, separated as it is by mountain ranges from the rest of Anatolia, and the fact that, with a very brief interruption, it has been a single administrative unit for more than two centuries, from the principate of Claudius to at least AD 312, allow us to treat it as a meaningful object of regional history. But below this unity there were striking distinctions between its different parts. In the course of my doctoral work on Roman and local law in the provinces of Asia Minor, I have found preliminary evidence to indicate that the ways in which Pamphylia and Lycia were governed by Rome were different in many crucial aspects. My project will thus provide an opportunity to study two models of Roman rule within one province, and it is at this level that we can best understand how Roman imperial structures worked and contribute to the ongoing discussion (re-opened by recent works of S. Dmitriev and C.

  • Olympian Triad
    136 Olympian Triad J G R Harcling Plates 57-fJO Part I-Winter Olympus! The very name evokes imagery, divinity and soaring aspiration­ 'Altius' of the Olympic motto. Certainly, no other mountain in classical consciousness had a greater wealth of mythological and poetic association. And this was due in part to the religious conceptions of Ancient Greece in whose cosmography the world was created as a disc with Greece its centre and Mount Olympus-touching heaven and synonymous with it-the apex; in part to its poets and particularly Homer, the literary protagonist of the Olympians. Homer's Olympus was an imaginary paradise 'not shaken by winds, nor wet with rains, nor touched with snow'. The reality is a formidable mountain, snow-bound for six months of the year. But then, the Ancient Greeks had no real sympathy for mountains or mountain scenery. According to the Protago­ rean ethic, man was the measure of all things and humanism the dominant philosophy. The gods who inhabited Olympus were themselves a reflection of Man. For the Greeks the magic of the mountains was not scenic but rather their association with the spirits of nature and particularly the Oreads-nymphs whose task it was to guide the weary traveller through the dreary upland wastes. Although Homer's Olympus was more a concept than a reality, the mountain which is indisputably identified as the home of the Gods from which Zeus despatched his thunderbolts is the great massif rising almost 3000m from the shores of the Gulf of Thermae. From time immemorial it has been an obstacle to invaders moving down from Macedonia to the plains of Thessaly and on this high stage were enacted numberless mythological dramas.

Firstly, it will focus on a more precise determination of the geographic limits of the region, which are not clear and quite ambiguous in the ancient sources. Secondly, the author will thoroughly analyze the formation of the province itself and its progressive Romanization. Finally, political organization of Cilicia within the Roman empire in its different forms throughout time will be taken into account. Key words Cilicia, provincia Cilicia, Roman empire, Romanization, client kings 295 STUDIA EUROPAEA GNESNENSIA 16/2017 · ROME AND THE PROVINCES Quos timuit superat, quos superavit amat (Rut. Nam., De Reditu suo, I, 72) This paper attempts a systematic approach to the study of the Roman province of Cilicia, whose formation process was quite long and characterized by a complicated sequence of historical and political events. The main question is formulated drawing on – though in a different geographic context – the words of G. Alföldy1: can we consider Cilicia a „typical” province of the Roman empire and how can we determine the peculiarities of this province? Moreover, always recalling a point emphasized by G. Alföldy, we have to take into account that, in order to understand the characteristics of a province, it is fundamental to appreciate its level of Romanization and its importance within the empire from the economic, political, military and cultural points of view2.

  • THE LYCIAN PEOPLE and THEIR ENVIRONMENT 1 Geography And
    CHAP'IERTWO THE LYCIAN PEOPLE AND THEIR ENVIRONMENT 1 Geography and communications in Lycia1 Lycia lies on the south-west coast of Asia Minor, between Caria and Pam­ phylia. At the period of its smallest extent, at the time of the Persian con­ quest, the Lycian state covered an area comparable in size to Attica, ex­ tending over most of the territory of the Xanthos valley, probably as far north as Araxa, more than forty kilometres away from Xanthos, and nearly fifty from the Mediterranean; Bryce has argued that to Homer 'Lycia' meant no more than the Xanthos valley. 2 At its largest, under Perikle of Limyra (pp. 154-70), the Lycian state was comparable in size to the south­ ern Peloponnese (i.e. Laconia and Messenia), stretching from Phaselis in the east to Telemessos in the north-west, nearly a hundred and thirty kilo­ metres as the crow flies, and included a large section of southern Milyas, if not all of it (p. 20). It is separated from its neighbours by high mountains which hampered movement in antiquity. 3 This remoteness continued into modern times-when Bean first visited the area in 1946 he found a country where tractors were unknown, and: When I asked, 'What do you do in the winter?', the answer was, 'We sit'.4 Three great chains determine access to and within Lycia. In the west two spurs of the western Tauros, the Boncuk Daglan and the Baba Dag1 (this latter being ancient Mt. Kragos and Mt. Antikragos) restrict access to Ly­ cia to the pass between them, east of Telemessos.

  • How to Restart an Oracle: Politics, Propaganda, and the Oracle of Apollo
    How to Restart an Oracle: Politics, Propaganda, and the Oracle of Apollo at Didyma c.305-300 BCE The Sacred Spring at Didyma dried up when the Persians deported the Branchidae to central Asia at the conclusion of the Ionian revolt c.494. It remained barren throughout the fifth and most of the fourth centuries and thus prophecy did not flow. However, when Alexander the Great liberated Miletus in 334, the spring was reborn and with it returned the gift of prophecy. After nearly two centuries, the new oracle at Didyma was not the same as the old one. This begs the question, how does one restart an oracle? The usual account is that Alexander appointed a new priestess, who immediately predicted his victory over Persia and referred to him as a god. In the historical tradition, largely stemming from Callisthenes, the renewed oracle is thus linked to Alexander, but words are wind and tradition can be manipulated. There are issues with the canonical chronology: Miletus reverted briefly to Persian control in Alexander’s wake; the Branchidae, the hereditary priests, still lived in central Asia (Hammond 1998; Parke 1985); and, most tellingly, construction on a new temple did not start for another thirty years. In fact, the renewal of the oracle only appears after Seleucus, who supposedly received three favorable oracles in 334, found the original cult statue and returned it to Miletus (Paus. 1.16.3). In the satiric account of the prophet Alexander, Lucian of Samosata declares the oracles of old, including Delphi, Delos, Claros, and Branchidae (Didyma), became wealthy by exploiting the credulity and fears of wealthy tyrants (8).
