Im Namen der Res Publica in den Krieg zu ziehen bedeutete für römische Feldherren nicht nur, das Heer zu kommandieren, es bedeutete auch, die Verantwortung für die Kommunikation mit den Göttern zu tragen. Janico Albrecht zeigt, dass neben dem Schlachtfeld auch die stadtrömische Heimatfront ein Ort für religiöse Inszenierungen des Krieges darstellte. Auch jenseits des Triumphs kam der Religion eine wichtige Rolle für die Vermittlung des fernen Kriegsgeschehens zu. Spätrepublikanische Feldherren werden als religiöse Akteure unter Gesichtspunkten wie dem Eingehen auf unterschiedliche Publika sowie der Fortführung ihrer Inszenierungen in der Memoirenliteratur untersucht.

The history of the Roman Republic was a military success story. Texts, monuments and rituals commemorated Rome's victories, and this emphasis on its own triumphs formed a basis for the Roman nobility's claim to leadership. However, the Romans also suffered numerous heavy defeats during the Republic. This study is the first to comprehensively examine how Rome's defeats at the hands of the Celts, Samnites, and Carthaginians were explained and interpreted in the historical culture of the Republic and early imperial period. What emerges is a specifically Roman culture of dealing with defeats, which helped the Romans to find meaning in the stories of their failures and to assign them a place in their own past. Simon Lentzsch is a research assistant at the Chair of Ancient History at the University of Cologne. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.

This book investigates the ‘decline and fall’ of Rome as perceived and imagined in aspects of British and American culture and thought from the late nineteenth through the early twenty-first centuries. It explores the ways in which writers, filmmakers and the media have conceptualized this process and the parallels they have drawn, deliberately or unconsciously, to their contemporary world. Jonathan Theodore argues that the decline and fall of Rome is no straightforward historical fact, but a ‘myth’ in terms coined by Claude Lévi-Strauss, meaning not a ‘falsehood’ but a complex social and ideological construct. Instead, it represents the fears of European and American thinkers as they confront the perceived instability and pitfalls of the civilization to which they belonged. The material gathered in this book illustrates the value of this idea as a spatiotemporal concept, rather than a historical event – a narrative with its own unique moral purpose. .

The book puts the current interest in historical Jesus research into a proper historical context, highlighting Gnosticism’s lasting influence on early Christianity and making the provocative claim that nearly all Christian Churches are in some way descended from Roman Christianity. Breaking with the accepted wisdom of Christianity’s origins, the revised history it puts forward challenges the assumptions of Church and secular historians, biblical critics and general readers alike, with profound repercussions for scholarship, belief and practice. .

This book offers a radical perspective on what are conventionally called the Islamic Conquests of the seventh century. Placing these earthshattering events firmly in the context of Late Antiquity, it argues that many of the men remembered as the fanatical agents of Muḥammad probably did not know who the prophet was and had, in fact, previously fought for Rome or Persia. The book applies to the study of the collapse of the Roman Near East techniques taken from the historiography of the fall of the Roman West. Through a comparative analysis of medieval Arabic and European sources combined with insights from frontier studies, it argues that the two falls of Rome involved processes far more similar than traditionally thought. It presents a fresh approach to the century that witnessed the end of the ancient world, appealing to students of Roman and medieval history, Islamic Studies, and advanced scholars alike. .

This open access book demonstrates the application of simulation modelling and network analysis techniques in the field of Roman studies. It summarizes and discusses the results of a 5-year research project carried out by the editors that aimed to apply spatial dynamical modelling to reconstruct and understand the socio-economic development of the Dutch part of the Roman frontier (limes) zone, in particular the agrarian economy and the related development of settlement patterns and transport networks in the area. The project papers are accompanied by invited chapters presenting case studies and reflections from other parts of the Roman Empire focusing on the themes of subsistence economy, demography, transport and mobility, and socio-economic networks in the Roman period. The book shows the added value of state-of-the-art computer modelling techniques and bridges computational and conventional approaches. Topics that will be of particular interest to archaeologists are the question of (forced) surplus production, the demographic and economic effects of the Roman occupation on the local population, and the structuring of transport networks and settlement patterns. For modellers, issues of sensitivity analysis and validation of modelling results are specifically addressed. This book will appeal to students and researchers working in the computational humanities and social sciences, in particular, archaeology and ancient history.

Die Geschichte der römischen Republik war eine militärische Erfolgsgeschichte. Texte, Monumente und Rituale erinnerten an die Siege Roms, und diese Betonung der eigenen Triumphe bildete eine Grundlage des Führungsanspruchs der römischen Nobilität. Allerdings erlitten die Römer in der Zeit der Republik auch zahlreiche schwere Niederlagen. Die Studie untersucht erstmals umfassend, wie Roms Niederlagen gegen Kelten, Samniten und Karthager in der Geschichtskultur der Republik und frühen Kaiserzeit erklärt und gedeutet wurden. Zum Vorschein kommt so eine spezifisch römische Kultur des Umgangs mit Niederlagen, die den Römern half, Sinn in den Geschichten ihrer Misserfolge zu finden und ihnen einen Platz in der eigenen Vergangenheit zuzuweisen.

This essential gives an overview of current methods of analysis of stone artefacts ranging from attribute analysis of entire assemblages to microscopic use-wear analyses of individual artefacts. The approaches presented show the range of analysis of prehistoric stone artefacts in German-speaking countries. Simple application examples illustrate the possibilities and limitations of each method. The content and structure of the essentials is identical to teaching units for learning methods of stone artefact analysis at the University of Tübingen in the Department of Early Prehistory and Quaternary Ecology. The content ● Attribute, transformation and working stage analysis ● Chaîne opératoire approach ● Analysis of techno-functional units ● Microscopic use-wear analysis The target groups ● Students and lecturers of archaeology and prehistory ● Lay people interested in archaeology and stone tools About the authors: Yvonne Tafelmaier is consultant for Palaeolithic and Mesolithic at the State Office for Cultural Heritage Baden-Wuerttemberg. Guido Bataille is consultant in the World Heritage department at the State Office for Cultural Heritage Baden-Wuerttemberg. Viola C. Schmid and Andreas Taller are research assistants at the Department of Early Prehistory and Quaternary Ecology at the University of Tübingen.

This book provides an interpretive narrative of the wars fought by Bulgaria against the Byzantine Empire for dominant control of the Balkan Peninsula during the early medieval era. Over a span of two centuries, from the early ninth through the early eleventh, and under the leadership of the Bulgarian rulers Krum, Simeon I, and Samuil, those conflicts evolved from simple confrontations for territorial possession into a life-or-death struggle for imperial precedence within the Orthodox world then emerging in Eastern Europe—a struggle that the Bulgarians ultimately lost. The primary focus is on Bulgaria, rather than Byzantium, and an effort is made to provide a historically reliable chronology of the assorted campaigns. The various belligerents’ military organizations, defensive technologies, armaments, and tactics are surveyed in an introduction to the main narrative. A prelude chapter sets the stage for the hegemonic conflict, which was divided into three distinct phases by interludes of relative peace between the contending parties, during which Bulgaria’s domestic, foreign, and cultural developments shaped the nature and conduct of the fighting in each successive phase.
