Abstract

The papers collected in this volume provide invaluable insights into the results of different interactions between "Romans" and Others. Articles dealing with cultural changes within and outside the borders of Roman Empire highlight the idea that those very changes had different results and outcomes depending on various social, political, economic, geographical and chronological factors. Most of the contributions here focus on the issues of what it means to be Roman in different contexts, and show that the concept and idea of Roman-ness were different for the various populations that interacted with Romans through several means of communication, including political alliances, wars, trade, and diplomacy. The volume also covers a huge geographical area, from Britain, across Europe to the Near East and the Caucasus, but also provides information on the Roman Empire through eyes of foreigners, such as the ancient Chinese.

Abstract

The calls for the appointment of the liturgical officers, that is, those who were obliged by the state to carry out public service duties, constitute a category of documents produced within the Roman administration of Egypt in the second and third centuries AD; these public notices were issued by the strategus, head of a region. It is a homogeneous group of Greek papyri - about twenty, including two unpublished texts - collected for the first time in this volume: a transcription is provided for each liturgical call, accompanied by the translation and a commentary. Through the comparative analysis of the texts, interesting data emerge to determine the typology of the documents and to reconstruct the development of some procedures of the liturgical system during the second and third centuries AD.

Abstract

Das antike Syrien stellt einen geographisch und kulturell äusserst elastischen Begriff dar. In diesem Grossraum waren ausser dem heutigen Syrien weite Gebiete der südöstlichen Türkei, der ganze Libanon, Israel, Palästina und ein Teil Jordaniens enthalten. Die römischen Machthaber begegneten einem bunten Flickenteppich phönizischer und griechischer Stadtstaaten einerseits, jüdisch-palaestinensischer und nabatäischer Fürstentümer andererseits. Die Provinzialherrschaft war häufig spannungsreich, etwa von blutigen jüdischen Protestrevolten begleitet. Die Kontrolle eines derart enormen Gebiets wurde nicht nur durch militärische Mittel, sondern auch durch die administrative und territoriale Gliederung zu erzielen versucht. In verschiedenen Quellengattungen aus dem Untersuchungszeitraum (1. Jh. v. Chr. bis 3. Jh. n. Chr.) beziehen sich verschiedene Gebietsnamen auf Syrien: Syria, Phoinikia, Kommagene, Iudaea, Dekapolis, Koile Syria. Einige davon erscheinen in Inschriften römischer Gouverneure zur Umschreibung ihrer Amtsbereiche, etwa in der Form »Statthalter der Provinz Syria, Phoenice, Commagene«. Handelt es sich dabei jeweils um Verwaltungsgebiete oder um Ethnien? Letztere ist die in der Forschung gängige Sichtweise. Dem widerspricht, dass sowohl der gesamte Amtsbereich syrischer Gouverneure als auch nur seine Bestandteile offiziell als provinciae (lat. ) bzw. Eparchien (griech.) bezeichnet wurden. Bei ihrer Provinzeingliederung deckten sich die einzelnen Eparchien territorial mit Städtebünden, koina (griech.), die sich zur Ausrichtung des provinzialen Kaiserkults formierten. Eine systematische Untersuchung aller syrischen Gebiete aus dem Blickwinkel der administrativen Geographie steht in der bisherigen Forschung noch aus. Sie hilft, territoriale Zusammenhänge aufzuzeigen zwischen römischer Verwaltung und regionaler Selbstverwaltung.

Abstract

During the lifetime of Augustus (from 63 B.C. to A.D. 14), Roman civilization spread at a remarkable rate throughout the ancient world, influencing such areas as art and architecture, religion, law, local speech, city design, clothing, and leisure and family activities. In his newest book, Ramsay MacMullen investigates why the adoption of Roman ways was so prevalent during this period. Drawing largely on archaeological sources, MacMullen discovers that during this period more than half a million Roman veterans were resettled in colonies overseas, and an additional hundred or more urban centers in the provinces took on normal Italian-Roman town constitutions. Great sums of expendable wealth came into the hands of ambitious Roman and local notables, some of which was spent in establishing and advertising Roman ways. MacMullen argues that acculturation of the ancient world was due not to cultural imperialism on the part of the conquerors but to eagerness of imitation among the conquered, and that the Romans were able to respond with surprisingly effective techniques of mass production and standardization.

Abstract

Le colloque tenu à Nantes en mai 2010 a permis d'affiner la connaissance de l'administration concrète des provinces de la République romaine par la prise en compte simultanée des textes littéraires, des inscriptions et de l'archéologie, avec un souci de casser les divisions géographiques entre l'Est et l'Ouest de ce qui devenait un empire territorial. Cet ouvrage regroupe en quelques grands thèmes les articles de spécialistes des provinces romaines. Les relations entre les autorités romaines et les cités provinciales, principalement leurs élites, ont été privilégiées pour guider une réflexion commune concernant l'administration de l'empire. Si les premières contributions analysent des prérogatives traditionnelles mais peu étudiées des gouverneurs, recrutement de soldats auxiliaires provinciaux et activités religieuses romaines, voire la réalité de la présence des représentants de Rome dans un cas particulier, la Grèce balkanique, d'autres articles précisent la communication entre les cités passées sous la domination romaine et le Sénat romain ou les processus de fondation de cité par des gouverneurs, en Hispanie et dans le Pont. Des enquêtes ayant pour objets les clientèles ou la sociabilité apportent un regard neuf sur les Cornelii Balbi en pleine ascension ou sur le cérémonial d'accueil et les réceptions réunissant gouverneurs et provinciaux. Enfin quatre études de la documentation attachée à des personnalités romaines soulignent les contrastes d'une époque souvent troublée : s'il exista d'une part les proconsulats encensés de Mucius Scaevola et Servilius Isauricus en Asie, l'analyse d'autre part des réquisitions du blé sicilien par Verrès et la discussion relative à l'authenticité des Lettres grecques de Brutus rappellent l'existence de gouvernements moins respectueux des provinciaux. Il en résulte une image renouvelée des relations entre les gouverneurs et les provinciaux de l'époque républicaine.

Abstract

Histories of ancient Rome have long emphasized the ways in which the empire assimilated the societies it conquered, bringing civilization to the supposed barbarians. Yet interpretations of this "Romanization" of Western Europe tend to erase local identities and traditions from the historical picture, leaving us with an incomplete understanding of the diverse cultures that flourished in the provinces far from Rome. The Sons of Remus recaptures the experiences, memories, and discourses of the societies that made up the variegated patchwork fabric of the western provinces of the Roman Empire. Focusing on Gaul and Spain, Andrew Johnston explores how the inhabitants of these provinces, though they willingly adopted certain Roman customs and recognized imperial authority, never became exclusively Roman. Their self-representations in literature, inscriptions, and visual art reflect identities rooted in a sense of belonging to indigenous communities. Provincials performed shifting roles for different audiences, rehearsing traditions at home while subverting Roman stereotypes of druids and rustics abroad. Deriving keen insights from ancient sources--travelers' records, myths and hero cults, timekeeping systems, genealogies, monuments--Johnston shows how the communities of Gaul and Spain balanced their local identities with their status as Roman subjects, as they preserved a cultural memory of their pre-Roman past and wove their own narratives into Roman mythology. The Romans saw themselves as the heirs of Romulus, the legendary founder of the eternal city; from the other brother, the provincials of the west received a complicated inheritance, which shaped the history of the sons of Remus.--

Abstract

This volume presents the proceedings of the ninth workshop of the international network ‘Impact of Empire’, which concentrates on the history of the Roman Empire and brings together ancient historians, archaeologists, classicists and specialists on Roman law from some thirty European, North American and Australian universities. This volume focuses on different ways in which the Roman Empire created, changed and influenced (perceptions of) frontiers. The volume is divided into five larger sections: the meaning of 'frontiers', consequences of frontiers, religious frontiers, shifting frontiers and crossing 'frontiers'. In this way, the volume pays attention to different kind of ‘frontiers’ within the Roman Empire, and to their importance for the functioning of the Roman Empire over a longer period of time.
