Abstract

Over the past decades, archaeological field surveys and excavations have greatly enriched our knowledge of the Roman countryside. Drawing on such new data, the volume 'The Economic Integration of Roman Italy', edited by Tymon de Haas and Gijs Tol, presents a series of papers that explore the changes Rome's territorial and economic expansion brought about in the countryside of the Italian peninsula. By drawing on a variety of source materials (e.g. pottery, settlement patterns, environmental data), they shed light on the complexity of rural settlement and economies on the local, regional and supra-regional scales. As such, the volume contributes to a re-assessment of Roman economic history in light of concepts such as globalisation, integration, economic performance and growth.

Abstract

La raccolta di biografie degli imperatori romani da Adriano a Carino, e dei loro coreggenti ed usurpatori, convenzionalmente designata come "Historia Augusta", è riconosciuta come l'opera più enigmatica trasmessaci dal mondo antico. Attribuita dalla tradizione manoscritta a sei autori di età dioclezianea e costantiniana, è caratterizzata da anacronismi, incongruenze e contraddizioni interne che restituiscono un quadro intenzionalmente distorto della storia di Roma imperiale. In questo volume si argomenta che l'"Historia Augusta" sia stata composta negli anni finali di Stilicone, o nel decennio successivo alla sua morte, da un litteratus pagano della cerchia dei Nicomachi, convinto assertore dell'impossibilità di scrivere opere storiografiche senza fare ricorso al mendacium, e dell'eternità di Roma, destinata a dominare l'ecumene, in un futuro caratterizzato dalla restaurazione dell'ordinamento repubblicano e della religione pagana.

Abstract

"Comment passe-t-on en quelques années de la guerre civile à la certitude de vivre un siècle d'or ? Voilà la question brûlante que pose le siècle d'Auguste, qui vit la République romaine se transformer en empire et produire ses plus fameux chefs-d'oeuvre. "Siècle d'or" ? En vérité, notre époque ne croit plus guère aux dénominations de ce genre. Et pourtant : ceux qui l'ont vécu n'ont-ils pas voulu à la fois restaurer le passé, refonder l'avenir et jouir du présent ? Restaurer le passé : le siècle d'Auguste est le moment d'un retour aux traditions antiques, à une histoire ancienne magnifiée, mais aussi celui de la "restitution" d'une république transformée. Préparer l'avenir : une administration est alors fondée, destinée à durer des siècles, pour accompagner ce que tout le monde perçoit comme un renouveau cosmique. Jouir du présent : les Romains veulent oublier les guerres civiles, Horace appelle à boire et Ovide à aimer. Flaubert écrivait : "Les dieux n'étant plus, et le Christ n'étant pas encore, il y a eu, de Cicéron à Marc-Aurèle, un moment unique où l'homme seul a été." Le siècle d'Auguste est au coeur de ce moment unique dans l'histoire."

Abstract

This volume presents the proceedings of the seventh workshop of the international thematic 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 30 European and North American universities. The seventh volume focuses on the impact that crises had on the development and functioning of the Roman Empire from the Republic to Late Imperial times. The following themes are treated: the role of crises in the empire as a whole; the relationship between crises and the Roman economy; modes in which crises influenced the presentation of emperors, and the impact of crises on and reception in (legal) writings.

Abstract

"The crisis of the Roman Republic and its transformation into an Empire have fascinated generations of scholars. It has long been assumed that a dramatic demographic decline of the rural free peasantry (which was supplanted by slaves) triggered the series of social and economic developments which eventually led to Rome's political crisis during the first century BC. This book contributes to a lively debate by exploring both the textual and the archaeological evidence and by tracing and reassessing the actual fate of the Italian rural free population between the Late Republic and the Early Empire. Data derived from a comparative analysis of twenty-seven archaeological surveys - and about five thousand sites - allow Dr Launaro to outline a radically new picture according to which episodes of local decline are placed within a much more generalised pattern of demographic growth"--

Abstract

"The fineness of Roman imperial and provincial coinage has been regarded as an indicator of the broader fiscal health of the Roman Empire, with the apparent gradual decline of the silver content being treated as evidence for worsening deficits and the contraction of the supply of natural resources from which the coins were made. This book explores the composition of Roman silver coinage of the first century AD, re-examining traditional interpretations in the light of an entirely new programme of analyses of the coins, which illustrates the inadequacy of many earlier analytical projects. In addition, minor and trace elements, and lead isotopes, provide evidence for the supply of materials and refining and minting technology. Sometimes this allows us to determine the origin of the metal, whether freshly mined, or recycled. It can even pinpoint likely episodes of recycling old coins and, when combined with the study of hoards, hint at possible strategies of stockpiling of metal. The creation of reserves has a direct bearing on the question of the adequacy of revenues and fiscal health"--
