Over the last years, the increase in the documentary sources has enhanced the research regarding Moesia Inferior. With reference to this, we mention the contributions of V. Cojocaru1, Al. Barnea2, Roxana Curcă și Nelu Zugravu3, L. Mihăilescu-Bîrliba4 which contain important data about the onomastics, the structure and the demographic dynamics of the province. Despite all the progress that has been made, the research on the population is still limited whereas a complete onomasticon is absent. Our endeavor starts from these facts which determine its objectives and available means. I have found it necessary to limit the research on time (1st – 3rd centuries 1 Cojocaru 1995. 2 Barnea 1998, 2002. 3 Curcă, Zugravu 2005. 4 Mihăilescu-Bîrliba, Piftor 2005; Mihăilescu-Bîrliba 2009, 2011. 6 A.D) and space (the Roman settlements on the limes , from Halmyris to Durostorum), resting entirely upon the analysis of the epigraphic sources to better illustrate the prosopographic situation and the demographic facts in the area. The analysis of the population in the Roman settlements on the Scythian limes made it necessary for us to divide the thesis into three chapters. The first chapter is dedicated to the administrative organization of the rural and urban structures on the limes taking into account the geographic layout, the establishment and the role of the pre – Roman habitation that status of each settlement and the mention of the military units stationed in/near them as well as a general delimitation of the territorial boundaries. Then comes the presentation of the municipal institutions and the local notables for the 3 urban settlements (Noviodunum, Troesmis, Durostorum). The second chapter is dedicated to the structure of the population, trying to identify the judicial and/or social status of the people attested in inscriptions (Roman citizens, veterans, active military people, pilgrims, liberti, slaves) 7 starting from the premise that the name5 and function of a person reflect elements about their status. The veterans are presented as being part of the category of Roman citizens but we have categorized them differently because they have a special status. Similarly, the active military men represent an interfering category6. For each centre we have established the share of the different judicial categories as it is evident from the inscriptions that are available to us. In the third chapter I have analysed the onomastic of the population of the Roman settlements on the Scythian limes, the names present in inscriptions being classified into 4 main categories: Roman names, Greek names (individual names, family names), Thraco – Dacian names (individual names, family names), names of various origin. Focusing our study on the epigraphic sources, we have drawn an anthroponomical catalogue of the people attested in the settlements on the limes of our concern. In doing that, we have taken into account the following 5The Roman citizens are easily identified in inscriptions by the tria nomina and the duo nomina in the 2nd century A.D. (nomen and cognomen) whereas the pilgrims have a single name followed by the father’s name in the genitive. 6The soldiers in the legions have the status of citizens and those in the auxiliary troops that of pilgrims. 8 elements: anthroponim, the origin of the name, the social and/or judicial status, the person’s occupation, dating, the place where the inscription was discovered, bibliographic references. The catalogue includes approximately 776 people of whom 52 have fragmentary names, irrelevant for historic research. Another 14 people are anonymous. That number of names of people is owing to the hazard of discoveries and we are mentioning it merely to offer an idea about the statistic data in the actual stage of the research. CHAPTER I THE ADMINISTRATIVE ORGANISATION I.1. Rural structures (canabae, vici, vici canabarum) The objective of this subchapter is to outline an overall image regarding the judicial – administrative status of the rural structures on the Scythian limes. We notice the development of the civilian settlements (canabae in the vicinity of the camps of the two Moesian legions stationed at Troesmis and Durostorum and vici canabarum in the vicinity of the auxiliary units), most of which being near the old indigenous settlements (civitates). The military camp - castra or castella together with the civilian settlements have sometimes overlapped with the 9 old local structures ( Halmyris, Salsovia, perhaps Aegyssus) or they co-existed forming either the canabae/civitas doublet (Troesmis, Durostorum) or the military vicus/civitas doublet (Noviodunum, Carsium, Axiopolis, Sucidava). There are cases when the old local settlement does not appear to have exceeded the vicus statum (Capidava). I.2. Urban structures The urban development together with the gatherings strictly dependent on the army (canabae, vici canabarum) constitute a specific feature of Roman Dobrogea and a clear proof of a very important civilian colonization. Except of Tropaem Traiani, the other municipia of Roman Dobrogea develop along the Scythian limes: Noviodunum near a statio Classis Flavia Moesica; Troesmis, near legio V Macedonica; Durostorum, near legio XI Claudia. The municipal institutions resemble the general organizational system of Roman cities. The three urban settlements on the limes are important Romanization seed- plot of the local people. 10 CHAPTER II CIVILIANS AND SOLDIERS IN THE ROMAN SETTLEMENTS ON THE SCYTHIAN LIMES II.1. General Considerations In this chapter we have tried, as hard as the existing epigraphic sources allowed us, to establish the judicial and/or social status of the people attested in the Roman settlements on the limes (cives Romani, pilgrims, veterans, active military men, liberti) and to indicate the possible origin of the bearers with the mention that in the 2nd – 3rd centuries A.D. , the origin of the name does not necessarily coincide with the ethnic or territorial origin of the person. The easiest to identify are the Roman citizens, bearers of tria nomina and duo nomina respectively, from the 2nd century A.D. we have encountered difficulty in identifying the pilgrims who bear individual names (Roman, Thracian, Greek) and their family name in the genitive. The epigraphic source does not offer certainty taking into consideration the possible onomastic

  • Dacă Pentru Cetăţile Histria Şi Capidava S-Au Putut Aniversa 90 Şi
    ULMETUM 2004 – DUPĂ 90 DE ANIX Zaharia COVACEF Dacă pentru cetăţile Histria şi Capidava s-au putut aniversa 90 şi, respectiv, 80 ani de cercetări arheologice neîntrerupte, pentru Ulmetum trebuie să evidenţiem reluarea de către noi a săpăturilor după 90 de ani de la încheierea lor, subliniind în acelaşi timp alegerea de către Pârvan a acestui sit. Vasile Pârvan a dorit să deschidă un şantier într-o cetate încă necercetată1, care să servească şi drept şantier-şcoală pentru tinerii arheologi. Pentru aceasta dorea un castru de graniţă fie din Oltenia, fie din Dobrogea. În urma perieghezelor făcute două astfel de centre i se păreau potrivite scopului urmărit: castrul de la Celei – Romanaţi, situat pe malul Dunării şi cel aflat în comuna Pantelimonul de Sus (astăzi com. Pantelimon), judeţul Constanţa. Ambele situri ofereau condiţii favorabile pentru a deveni şantiere-şcoală, şi – prin ştirile antice asupra lor – ridicau probleme interesante cu privire la viaţa daco-romană. Cetatea de la Celei stătea în legătură cu organizarea rurală desemnată într-o inscripţie territorium Sucidavense, iar cea de la Pantelimonul de Sus, cu o organizare analoagă, territorium Capidavense. A fost preferată cetatea de la Pantelimonul de Sus deoarece toate instrumentele şi materialul rulant necesare cercetării se aflau la Tropaeum Traiani, deci mai uşor (şi mai ieftin) de adus aici. Astfel că, după ce în primăvara anului 1911 a ridicat planul de situaţie al cetăţii şi a făcut intervenţiile necesare la autorităţile competente pentru trecerea întregului teritoriu ocupat de ruine şi a împrejurimilor lor imediate în proprietatea Muzeului Naţional de Antichităţi din Bucureşti2 (astăzi Institutul de Arheologie al Academiei), la sfârşitul lunii august a început săpăturile.

  • The Top-Ranking Towns in the Balkan and Pannonian Provinces of the Roman Empire Najpomembnejša Antična Mesta Balkanskih Provinc in Obeh Panonij
    Arheološki vestnik 71, 2020, 193–215; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3986/AV.71.05 193 The top-ranking towns in the Balkan and Pannonian provinces of the Roman Empire Najpomembnejša antična mesta balkanskih provinc in obeh Panonij Damjan DONEV Izvleček Rimska mesta balkanskih in podonavskih provinc so bila doslej le redko del raziskav širših mestnih mrež. Namen prispevka je prepoznati glavne značilnosti mestnih sistemov in na podlagi najpomembnejših mest provincialne mestne hierarhije poiskati njihovo vpetost v ekonomijo provinc v času severske dinastije. Avtor se osredotoča na primerjavo veli- kosti prvorazrednih mest z ostalimi naselbinami, upošteva pa tudi njihovo lego in kmetijsko bogastvo zaledja. Ugotavlja, da moramo obravnavano območje glede na ekonomske vire razumeti kot obrobje rimskega imperija. Glavna bogastva obravnavanih provinc so bili namreč les, volna, ruda in delovna sila, kar se jasno izraža tudi v osnovnih geografskih parametrih prvorazrednih mest: v njihovi relativno skromni velikosti, obrobni legi in vojaški naravi. Ključne besede: Balkanski polotok; Donava; principat; urbanizacija; urbani sistemi Abstract The Roman towns of the Balkan and Danube provinces have rarely been studied as parts of wider urban networks. This paper attempts to identify the principle features of these urban systems and their implications for the economy of the provinces at the time of the Severan dynasty, through the prism of the top-ranking towns in the provincial urban hierarchies. The focus will be on the size of the first-ranking settlements in relation to the size of the lower-ranking towns, their location and the agricultural riches of their hinterlands. One of the main conclusions of this study is that, from an economic perspective, the region under study was a peripheral part of the Roman Empire.

  • Consideraţii Asupra Unor Articole De Podoabă Descoperite La Capidava
    CONSIDERAŢII ASUPRA UNOR ARTICOLE DE PODOABĂ DESCOPERITE LA CAPIDAVA Zaharia COVACEF Cuvinte cheie: Capidava, necropolă, cercei, inele, medalioane, camee. Keywords: Capidava, necropolis, earrings, fingerrings, medallions, cameos. Jewelry categories made of gold, silver and bronze are discussed, discovered in Capidava graveyard tombs as well as in excavations inside the fortress or coming from fortunate discoveries. The pair of earrings with pierced work discus, having a mounted green gemstone in its centre (Pl. I, Fig. 1, 1a) stands out among the pieces in this category. The other earrings are either not completely preserved (Pl. I, Fig. 2) or unpaired: the golden earring (Pl. I, Fig. 3) and the bronze earring (Pl. I, Fig. 4). The three fingerings (two of gold and one of silver – Pl. II) are interesting both from handicraft point of view and regarding their message, as in case of the silver ring with the Ioannou monogram (Pl. II, 3). Necklaces (Pl. III, Fig. 1 and detail in Fig. 1a), little chains (Pl. III, Fig. 2) and medallions (Pl. IV) are then presented. At these latter ones, a very good analogy can be noticed for the medallion with female portrait (pl. IV, Fig. 1) at a piece discovered in Durostorum, on the limes also. The larger part of the presented jewelry pieces are dated to the 3 rd cent. A.D. The ring with the red gemstone is from the 2nd cent. A.D. (Pl. II, Fig. 1); the unpaired earrings are from the 2nd – 3rd cent. A.D. (Pl. I, Fig. 3 and Fig. 4) and the silver ring with monogram (Pl.

The nature of settlements in the sixth-century Balkans is a matter of 62 14 current debate. Amphorae and hoards of iron implements and weapons have been 63 15 discussed in relation to this controversy. A key problem is that of the use of coins in 64 16 an economic environment without any large-scale agricultural production. While 65 17 hoards of coins have been analyzed in relation to the presence of the military in 66 18 the Balkans, single finds of coins remain a category of archaeological evidence 67 19 commonly neglected in discussions of the sixth-century economy. The article 68 20 offers an explanation connected with the quaestura exercitus implemented in 69 21 536, and its conclusion is that the small copper denominations discovered on 70 22 hilltop sites in the Balkans were not obtained on the market (none existed in 71 23 any of the many hilltop sites known so far), but piggybacked on transports of 72 24 annona. 73 25 74 26 75 27 76 28 77 INTRODUCTION 29 78 30 The nature or character of the settlement pattern in the sixth-century Balkans has been a 79 31 subject of debate among historians and archaeologists.

  • 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.

Lascar Catargiu nr. 24-26, sc.A. ap. 16, Bucuresti, Romania, Email [email protected] Abstract The paper examines some information on the Danube River in their lower part, from ancient historians, from Romanian chroniclers and Turkish chroniclers who accompanied the troops when attacking Romanian countries. Also we have the data reported by foreign travelers on Romanian territory, of which with the passage of time, are more numerous: Polish, Austrians and Hungarians diplomats, Catholic priests. For example we have interesting data from Syrian traveler Paul of Aleppo or Turkish chronicler Evlia Celebi. The information refers specifically to periods of overflow of the Danube and damaging floods, or droughts when shrinking waters could and river goes on foot. Most data refer to periods when the Danube froze strong, especially in the centuries that constituted the Little Ice Age (approximately Fourteenth century until the mid- nineteenth century) opportunity for the Ottoman armies crossed the Danube on the ice, to plunder the territories of north of the Danube. Finally, it presents some descriptions of Romanian writers who loved Danube swamps, delta, among which Mihail Sadoveanu and George Topârceanu.
