Nous avons déjà établi que la statistique tient le milieu entre l’histoire et la science politique ; elle expose l’état d’un peuple dans un moment donné, mais quand cet état est considéré, comme ici, dans une longue suite de momens, pendant une série de plusieurs siècles, elle devient réellement de l’histoire, c’est-à-dire de l’his­ toire appliquée à la vie sociale. Un pareil sujet, comme nous l’a­ vons fait voir, est de la plus vaste étendue et il s’agrandit encore à mesure qu’on y touche. C’est ce que nous avons éprouvé en travail­ lant à cette seconde partie. En effleurant même les objets qu’elle embrasse, nous ferions aisément un gros livre au lieu d’un mé­ moire. Que serait-ce si nous les approfondissions comme ils le méritent? Cette considération nous a forcé à ne donner que des fragmens de nos recherches et à nous borner à parler de la population, des habitations, des meubles et des costumes des Belges.

  • Nomina Germanorum Ex Provincia Dacia
    NOMINA GERMANORUM EX PROVINCIA DACIA RADA VARGA∗, MIHAI SĂSĂRMAN∗∗ Abstract: The current paper is an analysis of the Germanic names during the Principate. The study was originated by the great difficulty – almost impossibility – that we have faced in identifying the Germanic names in Roman Dacia. Beginning from the abstract and general label of “Celto- Germanic” names, we will subsequently try to distinguish the particular Germanic names and to investigate if we have or have not a proper German onomastical presence in Dacia. The presentation aims at searching for the onomastical “traces” of these ethnical groups in Dacia. Keywords: Roman Dacia, onomastics, Germani. The current paper has its origins in the difficulties faced when trying to identify and implicitly analyze the Germanic names in the Roman Dacia∗∗∗. Concerning this area of classical onomastics, the methodological necessities identified are structured on two levels: the upper one implies the general need for identification and cataloguing of the Germanic names recorded by ancient sources, within and beyond the Empire’s limes, while the lower one regards the use of the same research steps for the case of Dacia, thus generating the inevitable comparison between this province’s realities and the Empire’s. Our paper shall begin with some theoretical considerations on the identity of the Germanic tribes within the Empire1, followed by a few linguistic details and ending with a series of analyses undertaken on Dacia, in order to establish how the Germans can be defined for its provincial environment. On behalf of the latter, we intend to offer some statistical considerations, as well as an onomastical perspective of the Germanic civilian milieu and the Germanic military units of the Danubian province.

  • The Celts in the West. Germany and Gaul
    THE GREATNESS AND DECLINE OF THE CELTS CHAPTER IV THE CELTS IN THE WEST. GERMANY AND GAUL I CELTS AND GERMANS IN the middle valley of the Danube the development of the Celtic settlements had been checked by the Getae and Dacians. The Boii advanced to the Theiss, but their sway extended no further. Beyond that there were doubtless Gauls in Transylvania, just as there were Saxons later. Celtic culture spread in this region, and the Dacians became Celticized. On the Black Sea, an inscription from Olbia [C.I.G., 2058. Cf. LXX, 3, pp. 441 ff.; CXLIX, 34, pp. 50 - 61; Pliny, iv, 97; Müllenhoff, CCCLXII, ii, pp. 110 ff.] records the appearance of the Sciri, who were probably Germans, in the company of the Galatians. But they were soon absorbed. In the same parts, at the same date, we find a much more important people, though of uncertain origin, the Bastarnae. [A. Bauer, in CXLIX, clxxxv, 2, 1918.] They are mentioned for the first time at the beginning of the second century, as newcomers on the Lower Danube. All these barbarians were employed as auxiliaries down to the time of the collision. In 182 Philip of Macedon sent them against the Dardanians. [Livy, 40, 57.] In 179 there was a great drive of the Bastarnae, with which the Macedonians had great difficulty in dealing. Some ancient writers, particularly Polybios, [Polyb., 26, 9; 29 ff.] who lived at the time of these events, regard the Bastarnae as Galatians. [Müllenhoff, op. cit., ii, p. 104.] Ptolemy, [Ptol., i, 3, 5, 19.] on the other hand, makes them Germans, and in this he is justified by the names found among them.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, MI 48106-1346 ABSTRACT The evidence for Romano-British religion must be examined in the light of four facts: (1) willingness to worship deities of different natures and origins; (2) confusion of similar deities; (3) similarity of ideas of deity throughout the ancient world; (4) localization of deities. Thus a coherent picture of Romano-British religion will be gained. The Britons apparently worshipped numerous localized gods; the nature of some of these can be determined. The British Druids probably worshipped the same pantheon as the Britons generally, but their belief in immortality was perhaps peculiar to them. After the conquest the Roman army found out these deities and worshipped them freely. Most of the Continental Celtic and Germanic deities found in Britain were introduced by the Roman army and were not worshipped by the Britons, though a few were perhaps brought by the Belgae when they migrated to Britain in the first century B.C.

Frith Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy. July 2018 Acknowledgements Many thanks go to my supervisor Doctor Philip Freeman for both, giving constant guidance and support during this project, and being a calm and rational voice in times of stress. Thanks is also due to Doctor Fiona Hobden and Doctor Louise Revell, whose honest critiques and helpful suggestions have strengthened the thesis immensely. In addition I would like to thank all those working and volunteering at the Garstang Museum of Archaeology (Liverpool University). Especially Daniel Potter and Hannah Godfrey, for their comradery through the PhD process. To my friends Anton King, Greg Hamilton, Katherine Brown and Jamie Stevens for listening to far too many angry rants about research. Thanks goes to my family for not only listening with bemused faces at my excitement and frustration, but for supporting me completely in all my endeavours while at Liverpool. Finally the biggest thanks of all goes to my fiancé Louise Beddow, who both was a supportive shoulder at all time and an effective proof reader of this thesis.
