  • 1 Gallo-Roman Relations Under the Early Empire by Ryan Walsh A
    Gallo-Roman Relations under the Early Empire By Ryan Walsh A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Ancient Mediterranean Cultures Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2013 © Ryan Walsh 2013 1 Author's Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This paper examines the changing attitudes of Gallo-Romans from the time of Caesar's conquest in the 50s BCE to the start of Vespasian's reign in 70-71 CE and how Roman prejudice shaped those attitudes. I first examine the conflicted opinions of the Gauls in Caesar's time and how they eventually banded together against him but were defeated. Next, the activities of each Julio-Claudian emperor are examined to see how they impacted Gaul and what the Gallo-Roman response was. Throughout this period there is clear evidence of increased Romanisation amongst the Gauls and the prominence of the region is obvious in imperial policy. This changes with Nero's reign where Vindex's rebellion against the emperor highlights the prejudices still effecting Roman attitudes. This only becomes worse in the rebellion of Civilis the next year. After these revolts, the Gallo-Romans appear to retreat from imperial offices and stick to local affairs, likely as a direct response to Rome's rejection of them.

  • Histoire Des Collections Numismatiques Et Des Institutions Vouées À La Numismatique
    25 Histoire des collections numismatiques et des institutions vouÉes À la numismatique Igor Van den Vonder and Guido Creemers tHe COINs AND MEDALs COLLECTION oF tHe GALLO-ROMAN MUSEUM IN TONGEREN (BELGIUM) the coin and medal collection of the Gallo-roman museum in tongeren is the former coin and medal cabinet (Munt- en Penningkabinet) of the Province of limburg. it is an important collection, comprising over 30,000 coins and exonumia. the collection reflects the coins produced and in circulation in the region from antiquity to the 19th century and is unique because many were excavated locally. When the coin and medal cabinet was established in 1985, the province’s own collection consisted of the collections belonging to the royal limburg Historical and antiquarian society (Koninklijk Limburgs Geschied- en Oud- heidkundig Genootschap) and the barons Philippe de schaetzen and armand de schaetzen de schaetzenhoff. these form the core of the collection, to- gether with the collection of the former small seminary of sint-truiden, on loan from the diocese of Hasselt. With the acquisition of several private collections, the coin and medal cabinet achieved its target of 10,000 items. an active collecting policy was implemented and the collection soon doubled in size, largely thanks to gifts. Furthermore, Belgium’s royal court made over Prince charles’ personal collection to the coin and medal cabinet as a long-term loan. systematic efforts were also made to acquire the coin hoards found in the region. at the end of the last century the Province of limburg decided to fully integrate the coin and medal cabinet into the archaeological collection of the Gallo-roman museum.

  • Oratio Recta and Oratio Obliqua in Caesar's De Bello
    VOICES OF THE ENEMY: ORATIO RECTA AND ORATIO OBLIQUA IN CAESAR’S DE BELLO GALLICO by RANDY FIELDS (Under the Direction of James C. Anderson, jr.) ABSTRACT According to his contemporaries and critics, Julius Caesar was an eminent orator. Despite the lack of any extant orations written by Caesar, however, one may gain insight into Caesar’s rhetorical ability in his highly literary commentaries, especially the De Bello Gallico. Throughout this work, Caesar employs oratio obliqua (and less frequently oratio recta) to animate his characters and give them “voices.” Moreover, the individuals to whom he most frequently assigns such vivid speeches are his opponents. By endowing his adversaries in his Commentarii with the power of speech (with exquisite rhetorical form, no less), Caesar develops consistent characterizations throughout the work. Consequently, the portrait of self-assured, unification-minded Gauls emerges. Serving as foils to Caesar’s own character, these Gauls sharpen the contrast between themselves and Caesar and therefore serve to elevate Caesar’s status in the minds of his reader.

He was also remembered for writing copiously while on campaign. Focusing on the period of Rome’s war with Gaul (58–50 bce), this paper argues that the two activities were interrelated: writing helped to facilitate the Roman conquest of the Gallic peoples. It allowed Caesar to send messages within his own theater of operations, sometimes with distinctive advantages; it helped him stay in touch with Rome, from where he obtained ever more resources; and it helped him, in his Gallic War above all, to turn the story of his scattered campaigns into a coherent narrative of the subjection of a vast territory henceforward to be called “Gaul.” The place of epistolography in late Republican politics receives new analysis in the paper, with detailed discussion of the evidence of Cicero.

  • The Manipulation of Words of Sounds and Rumours in Julius Caesar's
    AYELET PEER, Hear No Evil? The Manipulation of Words of Sounds and Rumours in Julius Caesar’s Commentaries, in: Annemarie Ambühl (ed.), Krieg der Sinne – Die Sinne im Krieg. Kriegsdarstellungen im Spannungsfeld zwischen antiker und moderner Kultur / War of the Senses – The Senses in War. Interactions and Tensions Between Representations of War in Classical and Modern Culture = thersites 4 (2016), 43-76. KEYWORDS Julius Caesar, Commentarii, Bellum Gallicum, Bellum Civile, Sound, Battle Descriptions ABSTRACT (English) In recent years, we have witnessed how scholars have re-read and re- examined Caesar’s commentaries on the Gallic and Civil wars, focusing more on the works’ literary merits. In this contribution to the discussion I aim to show how Caesar deploys the motif of hearing to develop his narrative of battle description. Therefore I single out specific words denoting sound such as shouting (clamor), voices (vox), and also the use of rumours (rumor, fama). Caesar probably wished to give his audience a fuller, engaging portrayal of the battlefield, along with its dangers and terrors, so that we, his readers, are able not only to see through the general’s eyes, but also to hear the sounds of war. Sounds are thus significant in conveying the tense atmosphere of war, especially since soldiers are naturally frightened by what they cannot see, but only hear. Yet in this chaos of shouts and voices Caesar would have us remember that only one voice can ease the fears of the soldiers and restore order: the voice of the commander, imperator Caesar. ABSTRACT (German) In den letzten Jahren hat die Forschung Caesars Commentarii zum Gallischen Krieg und zum Bürgerkrieg neu untersucht und den Schwerpunkt vermehrt auf die literarischen Verdienste der Werke gelegt.

  • Oil for the Wheels in Teaching Caesar: Yesterday and Today1
    Teaching Classical Languages Volume 7, Issue 1 Sellers 49 Oil for the Wheels in Teaching Caesar: Yesterday and Today1 Ryan G. Sellers Memphis University School ABSTRACT This article examines some ways of enlivening Caesar’s De bello Gallico in the classroom. It begins by considering the pedagogical methods of Mary E. Harwood, a Latin teacher in the early 1900s. Since Ms. Harwood’s students often found Cae- sar to be a boring, irrelevant text, she developed some creative teaching methods to lessen her own sense of frustration and to help her students better understand, visualize, and appreciate the text. The author argues that even though some of Ms. Harwood’s early twentieth-century strategies would not necessarily work in twenty-first-century Advanced Placement classrooms, her general philosophy of teaching Caesar is still quite germane. In addition to considering Ms. Harwood’s suggestions for teaching Caesar, the article also offers some examples of how the author approaches the challenges of teaching Caesar in his own AP class, in par- ticular by drawing upon popular culture and current events. KEYWORDS Advanced Placement, Caesar, De bello Gallico, pedagogy, film If you were to think about the Latin teachers of the early 1900s, you would probably imagine rigid grammarians and stern taskmasters who resisted any sort of progress and innovation. After all, this was some seventy years before the develop- ment of textbooks like Cambridge and Ecce Romani—books that take a kinder, gentler approach to Latin—and by today’s standards, these early twentieth-century teachers covered an astonishing amount of material: all basic Latin grammar in the first year, Caesar in the second year, Cicero in year three, and Vergil in year four.

  • Verklaring Van De Naam Tungelroy
    Verklaring van de naam Tungelroy Uit het archief van Deken Willem Moonen (1886-1976) 1. De Romeinen veroveren onze streken tussen de jaren 62 tot 57 voor Christus onder aanvoering van Julius Caesar. Niet alleen deze streek, maar geheel Galië, dat wil zeggen Frankrijk, België, Nederland en Duitsland tot aan de Rijn. Kort daarna trok Caesar met zijn leger naar Rome terug, waar hij triomfantelijk werd ingehuldigd. Maar 4 jaar later in 53 voor Christus, stonden enige volken slimmer op tegen de Romeinen: de Eburonen met hun vorst Ambiorix, de Bataven en de Tungri, die zich aaneesloten onder hun opperbevelhebber Ambiorix. Nu kwam Ceasar met een groot leger uit Rome terug en versloeg de opstandelingen totaal. stanndbeeld van Ambiorix in Tongeren De overlevenden vluchtten naar alle landen. Ambiorix met zijn soldaten over de Rijn, de Bataven naar de Betuwe, de Uliërs naar Zuid-Limburg met name naar Ubachsberg en Ubach over Worms (Ubach is van Uliërs), de Tungri naar Waterschei. Wat dit laatste betreft vind ik een bewijs van wat ik in ’t vervolg zal nog zal zeggen in de nu nog bestaande dorpsnamen: Tongerlo (bij Kinrooi), Tongerlo (bij Diest) Tungelroij (bij Weert) en Tongelre (bij Eindhoven). Zoiets komt nog in België, noch in Nederland of elders voor. 2. De Waterschei Paralel met de Maas ligt ten Noorden van Tongeren een hoge heuvelrug, die loopt tot bij Eindhoven. Die heuvelrug heet Waterschei. Deze was ten tijde van de vlucht van de Tungri begroeid met bossen en ondoordringbaar kreupelhout. Daarom woonde er geen mens. Wel was het een eldorado voor klein en groot wild, zoals hazen, konijnen, herten, vossen, wolven en zelfs beren (denk aan Beersel).

  • Caesar Thesis Final Draft
    A Literary and Narratological Reading of Titurius Sabinus and Quintus Cicero in Julius Caesar’s Bellum Gallicum By Wesley J. Hanson Submitted to the graduate degree program in Classics and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. _____________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Anthony Corbeill _____________________________________ Dr. Emma Scioli _____________________________________ Dr. Tara Welch Date Defended: May 8, 2015 ii The Thesis Committee for Wesley J. Hanson certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: A Literary and Narratological Reading of Titurius Sabinus and Quintus Cicero in Julius Caesar’s Bellum Gallicum _____________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Anthony Corbeill Date Approved: May 8, 2015 iii Abstract This thesis argues that the characters of Titurius Sabinus and Quintus Cicero, as depicted by Caesar in his Bellum Gallicum, fulfill a narrative function that furthers the political aims of Caesar’s text. I start by arguing that there are three Caesars present in the Bellum Gallicum, employing Gérard Genette’s three definitions of “narrative” as a model: Caesar the historical author, Caesar the narrative voice, and Caesar the character. I also argue that Caesar the author writes in the “zero degree,” a term Roland Barthes created to describe a seemingly unadorned writing style. When characterizing Sabinus and Cicero, Caesar will occasionally break his degree zero style to pass judgment (frequently implicit rather than explicit) on the two men and their actions. Through this process Caesar establishes his narrative voice as an arbiter of proper military conduct: when an officer acts in accordance with what the narrative voice approves, he is shown to be successful in the field.

  • Book 5 – 54 BC
    Book 5 – 54 BC Like Book 4, the AP curriculum has us enter Book 5 in mediās rēs—therefore a brief introduction to the year 54 BC is necessary. Introduction Caesar led his two legions back from Britannia in the early fall of 55 BC. When news of his expedition there reached Rome, the senate declared an unprecedented 20-day public holiday. (The previous record for a public thanksgiving granted to a general was 15 days, which also had been granted to Caesar—after the campaign against the Belgae two years earlier, in 57 BC). Caesar’s first trip to Britannia merely whetted his appetite for a second. No doubt the praise lavished on him back in Rome contributed to his desire to return to the still mostly-unexplored and little-known island. 54 BC, Part 1 – The Second Invasion of Britannia To ensure a less adversity-laden trip the second time around, Caesare showed his usual thoroughness and careful planning.
