Es ist also bereits in den Jahren unmittelbar nach 106 mit einem beachtlichen Verlust an Bevölkerung, Heer, technischen landwirtschaftlichen Gerätschaften sowie an Vieh zu rechnen Dieser Zuwachs wurde infolge der archäologischen Forschungen der letzten Jahre in der Provinz Dakien nachgewiesen Wir wissen aber nicht, wie diese Verluste in der Provinz Pannonia inferior – vor allem aus militärischer Perspektive – ausgeglichen wurde (Tab. 3) Die Provinz Pannonia inferior als solche soll hier nicht im Mittelpunkt der Betrachtungen stehen Die Sach- verhalte bezüglich der Grenzen und der Organisation der Verteidigung wurden bereits von ungarischen Wissenschaftlern zufriedenstellend und umfassend behandelt In dem vorliegenden Aufsatz soll erforscht werden, was mit Pannonia inferior aus militärischer Perspektive geschah (von Interesse sind dabei vor allem die Anzahl und der Typus der Kastelle, die Zahl und Größe der Hilfstruppen in den Grenzkastellen und die innere Organisation der Kastelle), um die Kenntnisse über das Verteidigungssystem der dakischen Provinzen erweitern zu können Zudem soll nachvollzogen werden, inwieweit die Angriffe der Sarmaten – gegen die sowohl der westliche Limes Ober- und Unterdakiens und der Provinzen Dacia Apulensis und Porolissensis als auch der Limes der Provinz Pannonia inferior gerichtet war – ähnliche Veränderungen zur Folge hatten Es gibt viele Fragen: 1. Was geschah nach Pannoniens Teilung in den beiden Teilprovinzen?; 2.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract This thesis explores the transmission of information about classical inscriptions and their use in historical scholarship between 1530 and 1603. It aims to demonstrate that antiquarians' approach to one form of material non-narrative evidence for the ancient world reveals a developed sense of history, and that this approach can be seen as part of a more general interest in expanding the subject matter of history and the range of sources with which it was examined. It examines the milieu of the men who studied inscriptions, arguing that the training and intellectual networks of these men, as well as the need to secure patronage and the constraints of printing, were determining factors in the scholarship they undertook. It then considers the first collections of inscriptions that aimed at a comprehensive survey, and the systems of classification within these collections, to show that these allowed scholars to produce lists and series of features in the ancient world; the conventions used to record inscriptions and what scholars meant by an accurate transcription; and how these conclusions can influence our attitude to men who reconstructed or forged classical material in this period.

    Publicado en Hispania Antiqua, 19, 1995, pp. 95-128. UN FACTOR IMPORTANTE EN LA ECONOMÍA DE LA BÉTICA: EL ACEITE Genaro Chic García Universidad de Sevilla Si en un principio pudo ser la riqueza minera de la Península el aspecto que más atrajo la atención de los sucesivos colonizadores que a ella se aproximaron, y en concreto de Roma, pronto se percatarían de las ventajas que en el campo de la agricultura les podrían reportar muchas de sus fértiles tierras y muy particularmente las de la región meridional, que a partir de Augusto sería conocida con el nombre de Baetica. Esta provincia, rica en numerosos productos vegetales1, destacó principalmente porque en ella florecían con igual facilidad y provecho los tres productos fundamentales que se daban en el área mediterránea: el trigo, la vid y el olivo. Algo que podríamos encontrar reunido en aquellos versos que Silio Itálico2 dedicó al conjunto de Hispania: "Nec Cereri terra indocilis nec inhospita Baccho nullaque Palladia sese magis arbore tollit" Pero esta idea no debe llevarnos a pensar que todos ellos conocieron la misma intensidad de cultivo en la época Imperial romana que ahora nos ocupa y mucho menos a considerar que de todos se daría de manera regular un excedente de producción susceptible de ser comercializado de igual modo en el mundo exterior. P. Sáez3 ha tratado ampliamente los aspectos relativos a la producción de esta tríada agrícola mediterránea en la Bética con base en los datos aportados tanto por los textos como por la arqueología, y, aunque someramente, ha puesto igualmente de manifiesto que la provincia no debió destacar de una manera particular por la exportación de cereales y sólo de forma limitada por la de sus vinos.

  • Terra Sigillata-Ellátás És
    ÓKOR – KÖZÉPKOR – KORA ÚJKOR Terra sigillata ellátás és fogyasztás a Severus dinasztia alatti Daciában A Dacia-kutatás eddig kevéssé művelt ága, a terra sigillata-import vizsgá- lata, melynek segítségével bemutathatóak a provinciák közötti kereskedel- mi kapcsolatok, és a provincián belüli gazdasági konjunktúrák, valamint a romanizáció előrehaladása. A szerző, Viorica Rusu-Bolindet, tanulmányában bemutatja az antoninusi és a severusi időszak alatti kerámia-importot, vala- mint a helyi sigillata manufaktúrák termelését és azok áruinak elterjedését is. Az Antoninus-dinasztia idején az import sigillaták jelentős része Közép- Galliából érkezett (66%) Daciába. Ezen belül pedig elsősorban Lezoux-ból. A kelet-galliai és germániai manufaktúrák (La Madeleine, Lavoye, Blick- weiler, Heiligenberg, Trier, Chémery, Ittenweiler) termékei az importnak csak a 17 százalékát teszik ki. Ezen belül Rheinzabern 7 százalékkal kép- viselteti magát. Az utolsó helyen a késő itáliai fazekasok termékei (3%) találhatóak. Jelentős az importból származó, de egy manufaktúrához sem köthető leletek aránya. Ezen százalékos megoszlás magyarázata, hogy az itáliai és a dél-galliai manufaktúrák termelésüknek az utolsó szakaszában, Lezoux annak csúcsán, míg mások, elsősorban Rheinzabern pedig gyártásuk felfutási szakaszában voltak ebben az időszakban. Pannoniához hasonlóan, itt is éles korszakhatárt jelez Septimus Severus trónra lépése. A Severus-korban az import megoszlása teljesen megválto- zik. A piacvezető közép-galliai kerámiákat Rheinzabern lassan kiszorítja a daciai piacokról. Lezoux részesedése már csak 9%, míg Rheinzaberné eléri a 42 százalékot. Megjelennek a daciai piacon, a markomann háborúkat kö- vetően, Westerndorf (20%) és Pfaffenhofen (5%), valamint a Felső-Moesiai Viminacium-Margum kerámiái. Rheinzabern termékeitől eltérően a wester- dorfi és a pfaffenhofeni áruk csak a provincia középső és déli részein fellel- hetőek.

  • Cults and Religious Integration in the Roman Cities of the Drava Valley (Southern Pannonia)
    CULTS AND RELIGIOUS INTEGRATION IN THE ROMAN CITIES OF THE DRAVA VALLEY (SOUTHERN PANNONIA) BY BLANKA MIŠIĆ A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT OF CLASSICS AND PHILOSOPHY ROYAL HOLLOWAY UNIVERSITY OF LONDON JANUARY 2013 1 DECLARATION OF AUTORSHIP I, Blanka Mišić, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Signed: ______________________ Dated: _______________________ 2 For my dearest parents. 3 ABSTRACT This work is a detailed examination of pagan cults and deities in three settlements along the Pannonian section of the Drava river (Aquae Iasae – modern Varaždinske Toplice; Iovia- Botivo – modern Ludbreg; and Mursa – modern Osijek) situated within the present-day territory of Croatia. The evidence examined consists primarily of inscribed votive dedications in stone, dating from the Roman conquest of Pannonia to the late third century A.D. Evidence is examined within the theoretical framework of cultural change, taking into account recent theoretical developments in the concepts of “Romanisation”, acculturation, identity- expression and syncretisation in order to determine the extent of cultural and religious integration along the Drava. A thorough examination of evidence reveals the emergence of differing and flexible religious identities specific to each settlement although united by the larger prevailing trend of nature-divinity worship. Our Drava evidence also reveals that economic, social, political and geographic factors all produced an impact on the process and extent of cultural and religious integration, thus helping to form local, regional, provincial and imperial expressions of identity(ies). 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

Recent studies on Roman topogra- phy2, centuriation (centuriatio)3 and modern cartography4 changed radically our knowledge and especially the visual perception of the Roman Empire, creating new, more detailed and accurate maps of every province. !e new international and regional projects on the studies of the Roman Limes5 urged also the creation of new and much more adequate maps of the Roman Empire and it’s provinces. Nevertheless, the cartographic representation of Roman Dacia in the foreign and Romanian literature is still very rhapsodic and full with major mistakes. By presenting the latest results of the research, this paper will try to answer on a very simple, but uncomfortable question: why we don’t have a standard map of Roman Dacia?

  • Law and Imperial Messaging in Severan Rome
    Playing the Judge: Law and Imperial Messaging in Severan Rome Zachary Herz Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Zachary Herz All rights reserved ABSTRACT Playing the Judge: Law and Imperial Messaging in Severan Rome Zachary Herz This dissertation analyzes the interplay between imperial messaging or self-representation and legal activity in the Roman Empire under the Severan dynasty. I discuss the unusual historical circumstances of Septimius Severus’ rise to power and the legitimacy crises faced by him and his successors, as well as those same emperors’ control of an increasingly complex legal bureaucracy and legislative apparatus. I describe how each of the four Severan rulers—Septimius Severus, Caracalla, Elagabalus, and Severus Alexander—employed different approaches to imperial legislation and adjudication in accordance with their idiosyncratic self-presentation and messaging styles, as well as how other actors within Roman legal culture responded to Severan political dynamics in their own work. In particular, this dissertation is concerned with a particularly—and increasingly—urgent problem in Roman elite political culture; the tension between theories of imperial power that centered upon rulers’ charismatic gifts or personal fitness to rule, and a more institutional, bureaucratized vision that placed the emperor at the center of broader networks of administrative control. While these two ideas of the Principate had always coexisted, the Severan period posed new challenges as innovations in imperial succession (such as more open military selection of emperors) called earlier legitimation strategies into question.
