Julius Caesar Character Map the Allegiances Of Julius Caesar Character Map In 59 BCE, attempting to bring together Pompey and Crassus, the two duelling consuls of Rome, Julius Caesar won both their support in becoming consul himself, and the three began to rule as the First Triumvirate. Further solidifying their alliance was the marriage of Caesar’s daughter from his rst marriage, Julia to Pompey (his fourth marriage). Julia, however, died in childbirth in 54 BCE, and when Crassus was killed in a military defeat in 53 BCE, the Triumvirate was over. Caesar attempted to keep a family bond with Pompey by oering his grandniece as another wife, but Pompey declined, instead marrying the widow of Crassus’ son, who had died in battle. Pompey was elected solo consul in 52 BCE, while Caesar was conquering Gaul for Rome. When Caesar returned in 49 BCE, he was told to leave his army at the Rubicon River. Refusing to do so, the Roman Civil War between Pompey and Caesar began. Caesar drove Pompey from Rome and to Egypt, where he was murdered in 48 BCE. Pompey’s followers and Caesar’s enemies continued the civil war for another three years, after which Caesar had defeated the remainder of Pompey’s followers (and family), had captured and pardoned most of his enemies, and had journeyed to Egypt and began an aair with Cleopatra. In September 45 BCE, a 56 year-old Caesar returned to Rome in triumph...

  • Graeco-Roman Associations, Judean Synagogues and Early Christianity in Bithynia-Pontus*
    chapter 3 Graeco-Roman Associations, Judean Synagogues and Early Christianity in Bithynia-Pontus* Markus Öhler As has been shown in numerous studies, early Christian communities as well as synagogues of Judeans resemble Graeco-Roman associations in form and structure. Therefore, it makes sense to examine Christ groups from the first three centuries from the perspective of associations and synagogues in order to grasp the various characteristics of Christianity in this area up until the reign of Constantine. This article will begin with a brief geographical and historical overview of the regions composing the double province of Bithynia-Pontus, continue with a review of the inscriptional and literary evidence on associa- tions (including synagogues), and finally discuss early sources for a study of Christianity, namely, the New Testament, Pliny’s letter about Christians, and inscriptions from the second and third centuries with a potentially Christian background. 1 Bithynia and Pontus: The Area and Its History in Early Imperial Times The area of Bithynia et Pontus, which partly includes the region of Paphlagonia, has had a chequered history.1 In what follows, I will roughly focus on the territo- ries which formed a Roman double province from 63BC onward. This includes, from west to east, the region of Bithynia (from Kalchedon to Klaudiopolis and Tieion), Paphlagonia (from Amastris to Sinope), and Pontus (from Amisos to Nikopolis). Pontus had been a kingdom from Mithradates I until the death of Mithra- dates VI in 63BC. Afterwards, the western part, reaching as far as the city of Nikopolis, became part of the Roman province of Bithynia et Pontus which * Many thanks to Julien M.

The Local Impact Of The Koinon In Roman Coastal Paphlagonia Abstract This dissertation studies the effects that a “koinon” in the Roman period could have on its constituent communities. The tudys traces the formation process of the koinon in Roman coastal Paphlagonia, called “the Koinon of the Cities in Pontus,” and its ability to affect local customs and norms through an assortment of epigraphic, literary, numismatic and archaeological sources. The er sults of the study include new readings of inscriptions, new proposals on the interpretation of the epigraphic record, and assessments on how they inform and change our opinion regarding the history and the regional significance of the coastal Paphlagonian koinon. This study finds that the Koinon of the Cities in Pontus in coastal Paphlagonia was a dynamic organisation whose membership and activities defined by the eparchic administrative boundary of the Augustan settlement and the juridical definition of the Pontic identity in the eparchic sense. The necessary process that forced the periodic selection of municipal peers to attain koinon leadership status not only created a socially distinct category of “koinon” elite but also elevated the koinon to extraordinary status based on consensus in the eparchia.

  • Turkey's Unexcavated Synagogues: Could The
    34 JULY/AUGUST 2012 BAR SPECIALIZES IN arTICLES abOUT SITES that have been excavated, featuring the often dra- matic finds archaeologists uncover. But what about finds from sites that have not been excavated (and should be)? We know a lot about the Jews of Cilicia from the New Testament and other ancient sources. Before becoming a follower of Jesus, Paul was a devout Jew from Tarsus, the capital of the Roman province of Cilicia in southeast Anatolia (modern Turkey). Despite the presence of Jews in Cilicia, however, relatively little is known about their syna- gogues. Indeed not a single ancient synagogue has been excavated in Cilicia. I think I may have found two of them—at Korykos and at Çatiören. The presence of Jews in Cilicia during the Hel- lenistic and Roman periods is well established in both ancient literature and epigraphical remains. Paraphrasing (or creating) a speech by the first- century A.D. Judean king Agrippa I to the Roman emperor Gaius Caligula (37–41 A.D.), the Jewish philosopher Philo of Alexandria records a state- ment that the city of Jerusalem was responsible for founding numerous colonies throughout the Mediterranean world, including cities in the Ana- tolian regions of Cilicia, as well as Pamphylia, Asia, Bithynia and Pontus.1 Regardless of whether or not Philo accurately reproduced the substance of Agrippa’s speech, Philo could not have included such a statement if Jewish settlements had not been well established in those regions prior to his own time. Later in the first century, the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus referred to Alexander (the son of Tigranes, a Jewish king of Armenia) who was appointed king of Ketis in Cilicia by the Roman emperor Vespasian.2 The appointment of a Jew to this position is very probably an indication of a large Jewish presence in the region.

  • ROMAN PHRYGIA: Cities and Their Coinage
    ROMAN PHRYGIA: Cities and their Coinage Andrea June Armstrong, PhD, University College London. Abstract of Thesis Roman Phrygia: Cities and their Coinage The principal focus of this thesis is the Upper Maeander Valley in Phrygia, which is now part of modern Turkey, and in particular three cities situated in that region, namely Laodicea, Hierapolis and Colossae. The main source used is the coinage produced by these cities with the aim of determining how they viewed their place within the Roman Empire and how they reacted to the realities of Roman rule. Inscriptional, architectural and narrative sources are also used as well as comparative material from other Phrygian and Asian cities. In order to achieve its aim, the thesis is divided into two parts. Part One details the history of Laodicea, Hierapolis and Colossae and explains the coinage system in use within the province of Asia on a regional and a civic level. The final chapter in the first part of the thesis introduces the theme of the interaction between city, region and empire which is developed more fully in Part Two. Part Two discusses the types used on the coins of the cities of the Upper Maeander Valley in the context of the cultural and religious circumstances of Rome and also in reaction to the organisational and political changes affecting the province of Asia as well as the Empire as a whole. The main conclusions of the thesis are that the cities of Laodicea, Hierapolis and Colossae were very aware of Rome and of their own status, as well as that of their province, within the Roman Empire especially in the context of ongoing circumstances and developments within the Empire.

  • Pliny's Province1
    Pliny’s Province1 Greg Woolf Modern historians who specialise in the Roman provinces have a bad habit of treating ancient authors as if they are research assistants. For the southern shores of the Black Sea, Strabon and Arrian act as travel writers, with some local knowledge; Dion of Prusa provides vignettes of civic institutions; Lucian provides some racey anecdotes, and Pliny the Younger is deputed to com- pile an administrative archive that will offer an imperial perspective on local government. Once this mass of testimony has been assembled, and seasoned with choice inscriptions and a few monuments, historians typically lament the absence of witnesses they could not recruit – women, slaves, Scythians, mer- chants, peasants and so on. The objections to this procedure are well known, if often forgotten. No list of witnesses could ever be comprehensive. Worse, more information does not always lead to greater understanding (as our modernist colleagues, deluged with evidence as they are, remind us). Worst of all, our “witnesses” are not colleagues, their texts are not responses to our research questions, and at least some apparent resemblances between their texts and the products of modern scientific research are profoundly misleading. This chapter is not intended to be simply a reminder of these points, il- lustrated through discussion of book 10 of Pliny the Younger’s Letters. But the state of the secondary literature does mean that it is necessary to begin by showing that this text is not an administrative archive, that its arrange- ment is shaped by rhetorical and panegyrical ends, that it does not provide a normative model for relations or correspondence between a typical emperor and a typical governor (if such things existed); and that modern attempts to use Pliny’s Letters as a more or less straightforward guide to the metier of a Roman governor are unconvincing and misconceived.
