  • Result of the Historic Evolution and Contemporary Urban Planning Tool
    ROMANIAN REVIEW OF REGIONAL STUDIES, Volume XII, Number 1, 2016 BUILT HERITAGE IN THE LAND OF HAȚEG – RESULT OF THE HISTORIC EVOLUTION AND CONTEMPORARY URBAN PLANNING TOOL GHEORGHE-GAVRILĂ HOGNOGI1, ANA-MARIA POP2 ABSTRACT – The Regional Geography papers, especially those dedicated to the “land”-type studies sequentially mention certain historical aspects, because historical evolution is treated largely as having a supportive role, far from becoming a component of interaction. This research aims to address the historical evolution of the Land of Hațeg in the light of the specific territorial elements and to provide evidence for using the built heritage as a tool for decision-makers. Methodologically, the research has implied the completion of three stages, each with its specific work methods (direct observation, mapping, chorematic analysis). The findings highlight the applicative and utilitarian character of historical studies in the land use planning documents. Keywords: Land of Hațeg, historical monument, land use planning, chorem INTRODUCTION Over the last decades, the emphasis is increasingly being placed on interdisciplinarity, regardless of the type of study addressed. This is also the case of the Regional Geography papers, where the interrelations between various territorial components argue its functionality (Cocean, 2011). In addition, although historical studies have been regulated since the 1990’s as components of the urban planning documents, they are currently not mandatory. For this reason, they are often not included. They were left at the discretion of beneficiaries who considered they did not have much impact due to the fact that many of them contained only a brief history not related to other elements of a planning document.

  • 165 Years of Roman Rule on the Left Bank of the Danube. at The
    92 Chapter III PROVINCIA DACIA AUGUSTI: 165 years of Roman rule on the left bank of the Danube. At the beginning of the 2nd century, in the Spring of 101AD, Roman Forces marched against the Kingdom of Decebal. We already know what the Roman's rationale was for starting this war and we also know that the real reason was likely to have been the personal ambition of the first Provincial Emperor, Trajan (he was born in Hispania a man of Macedonian background among Greeks). The Roman armies marched against a client-state of Rome, which was a subordinate ally of Rome. Decebal did not want to wage war against Rome and his recurring peace offers confirm this. It is unlikely that Trajan would only have decided on the total conquest of the Dacian Kingdom after he waged his first campaign in 101-102. After this, Roman garrisons were established in the Province - their ongoing presence is reflected by the Latin names of towns (as recorded by Ptolemy). At Dobreta they begin to build the stone bridge which will span the Danube. It was built in accordance with plans made by Apollodorus of Damascus to promote continuous traffic - it was an accomplishment unmatched - even by Rome. This vast project portends that Trajan began the expedition against Dacia in 101 with the intention of incorporating the Kingdom into the Roman Empire. The Emperor, who founded a city (Nicopolis) to commemorate his victory over Dacia, has embarked on this campaign not only for reasons of personal ambition. The 93 economic situation of the Empire was dismal at the beginning of Trajan's reign; by the end of the second Dacian War it has vastly improved.

  • Comparing the Role of Ships on the Columns of Trajan and Marcus Aurelius SAKATA MICHIO Chiba University of Commerce
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Tsukuba Repository Comparing the Role of Ships on the Columns of Trajan and Marcus Aurelius SAKATA MICHIO Chiba University of Commerce ABSTRACT The Roman Empire achieved the biggest territory from Britannia to the Euphrates in the age of Trajan. One reason of the success was, of course, the Roman military, which is composed of the garrison at Rome, the provincial Army, the Navy and so on. Among the military divisions, one of the most important, but quite unknown to us is the Roman Navy. In this presentation, roles of the Navy will be examined by researching iconographies of fleets and ships represented on the Columns of Trajan and Marcus Aurelius. 1. INTRODUCTION It is no doubt that every historian or archaeologist would admit the importance of the Roman Navy in Ancient Rome. During the Punic Wars in the 3rd century B.C., the navy accounted for a third of the total Roman military and, during the imperial period, it occupied, in average, more than a tenth of it. This view was probably shared among the Romans in antiquity, as Cicero made a statement, in the first century B.C., that the Master of the sea must inevitably be the master of the empire. Despite being one of the most important roman military divisions, roles and organizations of the Roman Navy are almost unknown to us for two reasons. First, no historical texts on the Roman Navy is handed down to us except Vegetius, who mentions Roman naval warfare, shipbuilding and the art of navigation in De re militari written probably in the fourth century A.D.

STUART JONES, M.A. Formerly Director of the British School af Rome; Member of the German Imperial Archaeological Institute LONDON: 1910 F F THE HISTORICAL INTERPRETATION OF THE RELIEFS OF TRAJAN'S COLUMN. THE object of this paper is neither to discuss the artistic significance of the reliefs which adorn the Column of Trajan, nor to solve the problem raised by the inscription on its base, but solely to treat the sculptures as embodying an historical narrative in stone, and to present certain conclusions differing from those of earlier interpreters. These conclusions were originally formed during my residence in Rome as Director of the British school; they were first tentatively expressed at a meeting of the School held on April 4, 1906 (when I had ceased to hold the office of Director) and developed with greater detail in a paper read before the Oxford Philological Society on March 15, 1907 (see Class.

  • The Dacian War
    THE DACIAN WAR The author of the commentary is unknown, we only know his dedication: “nunc spernitur lux, nuper gloriam Romae vidi” Now the days are wasted, once the glory of Rome I saw. PREAMBLE I - When (in 44 BC) Burebista, first king of the Dacians, was assassinated, the kingdom that he established (the present Romania and part of Hungary), fell apart, splitting into four parts. Burebista in the Roman civil war had supported Pompey against Caesar, after the victory of the Divine Julius at Pharsalus (48 BC.), and shortly after the death of Pompey, his position was weakened to the point that his enemies killed him. However as weakened by internal divisions, already at the time of the Divine Augustus, when the Danube froze, Dacian most warlike tribes often attempted to penetrate into Moesia and Pannonia, to make raids into Roman provinces. Every time they were driven back, nevertheless they continued to be a constant threat, forcing us to maintain armed garrisons along the Danube, to defend the “limes” (border) of the Empire. With the passage of time, encouraged by our lack of decisive response, they began to design more daring attacks. It so happened that Diurpaneo, one of the Dacian kings, assailed (69 AD), the Roman “castra” (encampment) of Viminacium (today Kostolac in Serbia), in Moesia Superior, but, rejected by our legionnaires, he was forced to retreat. This defeat persuaded Diurpaneo that first he had to strengthen himself inside Dacia. To this purpose he committed all forces to reunite the kingdom. When the bold enterprise succeeded (75 AD), it became clear that the danger he represented could not be long ignored.

Riggsby This paper examines the cultural information of epigraphic choices within military communities of Roman Dacia and engages with the private behaviors of members of the military and their families in the ancient world. A case study on votive inscriptions dedicated by members of the military supports this paper’s primary interest in dedicants of military epitaphs. Actions taken by soldiers, veterans, and their families present in votive inscriptions and epitaphs alike as individual and collective decisions intentionally made to communicate private behavior to the audience.

  • Dacia Under Trajan. Some Observations on Roman Tactics and Strategy
    DACIA UNDER TRAJAN. SOME OBSERVATIONS ON ROMAN TACTICS AND STRATEGY 1. The pattern of the Roman advancement during the first Dacian war. Many scenes on Trajan's Column in Rome do not depict battles or highly narrative episodes, but show the Roman troops advancing into the enemy's territory, clearing roads, buhlding bridges and maoching camps. It is mos<t like-ly ,that Trajan himself had dealt a lot with these matters in his unfortunately lost commentaries on the Dacian wars, which are most probably illustrated by the reliefs of the Column in Rome (Cla­ ridge 1993). Some authors before or after Trajan [e.g. Flavius Josephus (Bel. Jud., III, 8 (p. 766-767) who gives a detailed account of the march of Vespasian from Ptolemais to Jotapata, through Galileea, and. V, 6 (p. 838-839), where he describes the march of Titus on Jerusalem], or Ar­ rianos (on his marching order against the Allani see the recent transla­ tion and commentary of Ruscu and Ruscu 1996), not to mention Vege­ tius, Epit. rei milit., III, 6 (where he states that more dangers are to be expected during a march than in the middle of a battle). They all share the same concern about marches which are considered one of ;the rnoot important part of warfare (cf. Le Bohec 1989 a, p. 135-141). Probably like Caesar who was insisting in his commentaries on the „celeritas" (rapidiity) of his marches (cf. Chevallier 1988, p. 251), Trajan was largely describing the tactics used by him to advance in the foreign territory.

The Actions and Reactions of Trajan and Decebalus: A Brief Reconsidering of the Causation of the Dacian Wars Abstract While one camp of historians have followed the words of Cassias Dio, that Trajan began the war to avenge the defeats of his predecessor Domitian and put down the ever growing power of the Dacians and subsequently was forced to fight a second war which was inevitably for conquest, the other camp argues that Trajan aimed for military glory and sought to conquer Dacia from the onset of hostilities. Neither camp has yet to conclusively utilize Decebalus’ and Trajan’s actions as a way to definitively prove their argument. By analyzing these two military leaders’ orders and strategies, it becomes clear that Trajan always intended for a large war of conquest and fabricated or at least distorted the truth to place the blame on the Dacians.
