Community and Identity at the Edges of the Classical World examines the construction of personal and communal identities in the ancient world, exploring how globalism, multi-culturalism, and other macro events influenced micro identities throughout the Hellenistic and Roman empires. This innovative volume discusses where contact and the sharing of ideas was occurring in the time period, and applies modern theories based on networks and communication to historical and archaeological data. A new generation of international scholars challenge traditional views of Classical history and offer original perspectives on the impact globalizing trends had on localized areas—insights that resonate with similar issues today. This singular resource presents a broad, multi-national view rarely found in western collected volumes, including Serbian, Macedonian, and Russian scholarship on the Roman Empire, as well as on Roman and Hellenistic archaeological sites in Eastern Europe. Topics include Egyptian identity in the Hellenistic world, cultural identity in Roman Greece, Romanization in Slovenia, Balkan Latin, the provincial organization of cults in Roman Britain, and Soviet studies of Roman Empire and imperialism.

"Ce volume fait le point sur les recherches les plus récentes sur l'évolution politique, culturelle et religieuse des cités africaines dans l'Antiquité tardive, en se concentrant en particulier sur les siècles vandales, maures et byzantins. Si les IIIe-IVe siècles furent leur été indien, les Ve-VIIe siècles furent certainement leur automne. Cet ouvrage n'est en rien une commémoration mais une invitation à suivre les pas de l'un des plus importants antiquisants du XXe siècle, Claude Lepelley, sur les chemins qu'il avait commencé à emprunter."--Page 4 of cover

"This volume offers a radical new history of Roman citizenship in the long century before Caracalla's universal grant of citizenship in 212 CE. Earlier work portrayed the privileges of citizen status in this period as eroded by its wide diffusion. Building on recent scholarship that has revised downward estimates for the spread of citizenship, this work investigates the continuing significance of Roman citizenship in the domains of law, economics and culture. From the writing of wills to the swearing of oaths and crafting of marriage, Roman citizens conducted affairs using forms and language that were often distinct from the populations among which they resided. Attending closely to patterns at the level of province, region and city, this work offers a new portrait of the early Roman empire: a world that sustained an exclusive regime of citizenship in a context of remarkable political and cultural integration"

This volume is the product of a symposium ?Africa and the Danubian Provinces of the Roman Empire? (July 29-30, 2018) which took place in Timi?oara and was organized by the National Museum of Banat, the Center for Middle Eastern and Mediterranean Studies (Babe?-Bolyai University) Cluj-Napoca, and the West University Timi?oara. One of the keynote speakers was the director of the Center for Middle Eastern and Mediterranean Studies, Prof. Dr Alexandru Diaconescu. Unfortunately, he passed away much too soon during the volume editing process, and this volume is dedicated to his memory. The chapters present case studies on the Egyptian and African military and civilian presence in the Danubian provinces, the Egyptian and African influences found in the material culture, religion and magic around the Danube, as well as the presence of the inhabitants of the Danubian provinces in the North African region of the Roman Empire and Egypt. The scholars whose articles are included in this volume have examined literary, historical, epigraphic, archaeological and art historical evidence in order to discuss the cross-pollination of culture and organization within these two regions of the Roman Empire. This book will a useful tool for historians and archaeologists, who are interested in the Roman Empire, the Roman Dacia and other Danubian provinces, and the interactions at the military and religious level with the African and Egyptian space.

By their social and material context as markers of graves, dedications and public signs of honour, inscriptions offer a distinct perspective on the social lives, occupations, family belonging, mobility, ethnicity, religious affiliations, public honour and legal status of Roman women ranging from slaves and freedwomen to women of the elite and the imperial family, both in Rome and in Italian and provincial towns. They thus shed light on women who are largely overlooked by the literary sources. The wide range of inscriptions and graffiti included in this book show women participating not only in their families and households but also in the social and professional life of their cities. Moreover, they offer us a glimpse of women's own voices. Marital ideals and problems, love and hate, friendship, birth and bereavement, joy and hardship all figure in inscriptions, revealing some of the richness and variety of life in the ancient world.

In the absence of a postal service available to all, letters exchanged between the inhabitants of Roman Egypt were most often transmitted with the help of informal bearers whose task was not limited to carrying a letter: they brought or collected goods, helped the recipients, sometimes received assistance, facilitated money transfer, performed escort and police duties, and more generally they were an essential link within a wide social network. This short study not only covers formal aspects, such as terminology or the place of the bearer in the structure of a business letter, but also provides a description of the role of the bearers and of their interaction with both senders and recipients.

Dans l'étude des provinces gallo-romaines, l'accent a été mis ces dernières années sur les institutions : cités, municipes et colonies ont fait l'objet de synthèses régionales et la recherche a tendu à affiner les connaissances sur les composantes de la cité et les statuts, ainsi que sur la religion. Le moment était donc venu de tenter un bilan complet de tous ces apports ponctuels, sans oublier toutefois les acteurs du pouvoir central agissant sur les provinces. Après une introduction destinée à faire le point sur l'existence même de la province, création, capitale, territoire, limites, sa participation au sanctuaire fédéral, un catalogue de tous les gouverneurs, légats censiteurs et procurateurs divers fournit des notices prosopographiques classées chronologiquement. Un examen du personnel subalterne complète le tableau, suivi d'un aperçu des institutions supra-municipales. Une seconde partie s'attache aux institutions municipales. Toutes les civitates et colonies du territoire sont examinées y compris les cités méridionales qui ont fait partie de la Belgica jusqu'à l'époque de Domitien. Pour chacune, le point est fait sur le peuple concerné, son chef-lieu, ses notables, magistratures, fonctions diverses, évergésies, puis sur les éléments internes, pagus, vicus, curia ; ensuite sur les collèges et les métiers susceptibles d'avoir fait l'objet de collèges professionnels ; enfin sur les sanctuaires du territoire ayant été, assurément ou peut-être, sièges de pagus. L'ambition n'est pas de couvrir tous les tenants et aboutissants des cités, ni une histoire complète de la province, mais de proposer un bilan critique des connaissances acquises à propos des institutions de chaque civitas et des multiples aspects que celles-ci peuvent recouvrir. Marie-Thérèse Raepsaet-Charlier est professeur honoraire de l'ULB en histoire romaine et épigraphie latine. Elle est l'auteur de nombreux articles sur la société, les institutions et l'onomastique dans les provinces gallo-germaniques de l'Empire romain. Son autre domaine d'activités concerne la femme romaine. Elle est l'auteur de diverses études sur la vie sociale, les sacerdoces et les pratiques religieuses féminines et a publié la Prosopographie des femmes de l'ordre sénatorial romain (Ier-IIe siècles), Louvain, 1987.

Les latrines romaines ont, dans notre imaginaire collectif, une place particulière. Les vestiges bien conservés des villes d’Afrique du Nord ou d’Asie Mineure laissent en effet entrevoir une époque pendant laquelle la pudeur telle qu’on la conçoit actuellement n’existait pas, où le Romain n’hésitait pas à satisfaire ses besoins naturels devant son contemporain. Les chercheurs ont focalisé leur attention principalement sur la belle architecture, les grands bâtiments pouvant accueillir parfois plusieurs dizaines de personnes. Ces constructions ne forment pourtant qu’une minorité des latrines antiques. Le développement de l’archéologie permet désormais d’appréhender les aménagements les plus modestes et les plus fréquents, dont les simples fosses, cuvelées ou non, creusées dans le sol. En prenant en compte tous les types de structures d’une région bien déterminée de l’Empire romain — les provinces gauloises, germaniques et alpines —, cet ouvrage donne un aperçu, le plus complet possible, des lieux d’aisance et de leur utilisation. C’est une image différente de celle généralement admise qui apparait alors. Les aménagements sont, la plupart du temps, simples et répondent à la stricte utilité. Les belles latrines sont rares et n’apparaissent que tardivement. Un certain nombre de dispositions permettent d’isoler ces lieux de l’extérieur ; les latrines apparaissent comme un monde clos, refermé sur lui-même. Parallèlement aux constructions, pour la première fois, ce sont les structures mobiles qui sont considérées, tant sur le plan littéraire qu’archéologique : la matella, l’urinoir masculin, le scaphium, l’urinoir féminin, le lasanum, le pot de chambre, mais également l’amphore qui, en remploi, sert a récupérer l’urine pour les activités artisanales. La gestion des latrines au quotidien, leur financement, leur entretien sont étudiés. La circulation de l’eau usée, utilisée pour évacuer les déjections dans les égouts, est décrite tout comme celle de l’eau propre, servant…
