Une equipe de l’ “ University College of London ” s’est attelee a la tâche de collationner dans une base de donnees informatique, la legislation imperiale allant de la periode des Severes a celle de Theodose. Cette legislation est envisagee de la maniere la plus complete possible et dans sa forme originale (y compris les ipsissima verba), et cela peu importe la source par laquelle elle nous est connue, qu’elle soit epigraphique, papyrologique, juridique ou litteraire. Chaque texte est accompagne d’une notice critique, reprenant l’auteur, le destinataire, le contexte, la datation, etc., ainsi qu’une bibliographie historique et juridique. La flexibilite du support informatique permet a l’utilisateur de consulter la base de donnees tant selon la disposition des codifications anciennes que des redactions modernes, mais aussi d’interroger et de reorganiser les donnees en fonction d’autres criteres (chronologie, lieu de publication, etc.). Les auteurs du projet Volterra esperent le mener a bien avant 2004. D’ici-la, toute question concernant ce projet peut etre adressee par e-mail a l’adresse suivante : [email protected]. La source principale pour les auteurs du projet reside dans le Code Theodosien. Ils ont des lors decide d’en rendre le texte accessible sur Internet, par la voie d’une publication en-ligne (http://www.ucl.ac.uk/history/volterra), en se fondant sur l’edition Mommsen-Meyer. Des a present, on peut y trouver les livres I a VIII.

New Roman milestones and other Latin inscriptions from Bani Walid, Tripolitania

These stones were found lying on the ground in the western suburbs of the city, apparently having been collected up and put aside by the landowners in clearing their fields to grow crops on their farms. Although previously postulated, these milestones are the first confirmation that a Roman road ran through Bani Walid. As a group these new texts offer new insight into the development of the transport infrastructure and agricultural economy of this Pre-Desert zone in the third century AD.

Late Antiquity

This chapter focuses on the epigraphic habit of that fluctuating portion of the late antique world that remained Roman. Despite the emergence of inscriptions in additional languages, such as Syriac and Coptic, Latin and Greek retained their hegemony as the two main epigraphic languages of the Roman world. The establishment of an imperial court, with its attendant bureaucratic and military retinue, in major centres of the Greek East from the last decades of the third century coincided with a new flowering of Latin inscriptions in the region.

Римские консулы, имперская политика и египетские папирусы: Консулаты 325 и 344 годов н.э

Thanks to work done in recent decades to index and analyze the evidence for Roman consuls from Diocletian onward, it now is much easier to gain an overview of contemporary understanding of the identity of the consuls of each year. The ever-growing body of epigraphic and, above all, papyrological documentation helps to put flesh on the bare bones of the names preserved in the consular lists of the manuscript tradition. These documentary sources have the virtue of representing a contemporary perspective that is largely free from retrospective editorial manipulation. To appreciate fully the significance of the evidence of the consular formulae employed in late Roman Egypt, it needs to be assessed within the wider context of the use of consular dating both within Egypt in earlier periods and elsewhere.

Confronting this new text with the relevant legal and other epigraphic evidence, this paper explores the implications of this text for our understanding of the process for and, the motivations behind, setting up such a corporation.

The fragments have been identified as coming from a legal text in Latin, indeed possibly all from the same page, written in a fifth-century uncial book-hand, but with some numeration and glosses in Greek. The fragments contain part of a rubricated title, as well as the headings and subscripts to several imperial rescripts of third-century emperors (Caracalla, Gordian III and the Philips are explicitly named), organized in a broadly chronological sequence without intervening commentary. Three rescripts overlap with texts known from the Justinian Code (C.7.62.3, 4, and 7). It is argued here that the work in the fragments is from neither the first nor second editions of the Justinian Code, nor from a juristic miscellany (similar to the Fragmenta Vaticana, Lex Dei, or Consultatio). Despite the apparently anomalous presence of a tetrarchic rescript (otherwise typically *

While deliberately eschewing that model, M. avoids going to the opposite extreme and producing a stream of rhetorical banalities about the growth of bureaucratization. In fact M.'s study is notable for the rigour with which he defines his concepts and examines his source material. At the centre of the debate to which M.'s book is the latest contribution is the fact that at the end of the third century the praetorian prefects were by tradition a pair of officials at the apex of the equestrian career pyramid, attached to the person(s) of the emperor(s). However, a century later the number of prefects had multiplied, their office lay at the top of the senatorial career ladder, and each acted as the administrator of one of the four regions into which the empire had become divided, heading an administration now separated from the provincial level by a layer of deputy prefects (vicarii) supervising groups of provinces (dioceses). M.'s main purpose is to attack the position that this three-tier structure resulted from a masterplan founded upon rational principles. The chronological limits of his study are dictated by his belief (surely right) that the essential period of innovation in these administrative offices did not begin until Constantine's reign, rejecting the idea that there was any fundamental alteration in either the praetorian prefecture or its deputies under Diocletian, and that the prefectural arrangement familiar from the Notitia Dignitatum originated in the mid-360s.

In his fifty-year career of teaching and publication, Wolf, German-born and British-educated, has informed generations of scholars – collaborating, instructing, disputing, and commenting on research.In this volume, coinciding with his eightiethbirthday, twenty historians and archaeologistswho have known Wolf as friends, colleagues, and pupils acknowledge and celebrate his influence by presenting papers on topics related to his four monographs: Antioch: City and Imperial Administration in the Later Roman Empire (1972); Continuity and Change in Roman Religion (1980); Barbarians and Bishops (1990); and The Decline and Fall of the Roman City (2001).Four core sections cover: ‘Law and Religion’ (Duncan Cloud, Robert Markus, Karl Leo Noethlichs, John North, Benet Salway); ‘Antioch and the East’ (Hugh Elton, Geoffrey Greatrex, Doug Lee); ‘Barbarians and Bishops’ (Jonathan Barlow, John Drinkwater, Peter Heather, Neil McLynn); ‘The City’ (Simon Corcoran, Nick Henck, Luke Lavan, Andrew Poulter, Charlotte Roueche). The book opens with ‘Modern Historiography’ (Hartmut Leppin, Bryan Ward-Perkins) and closes with an ‘Afterword’ (Averil Cameron).

The left hand side of the pillar is decorated with a relief of an urceus, the right with a patera. The text, carved in monumental capitals of high quality, is quite formulaic: D(is) · M(anibus) | Q(uinto) · Antistio | Domito | vix(it) · an(nis) · XIII · m(ensibus) · XI | Q(uintus) · Antistius Domitus | et Lutatia | Eudia parentes | filio | carissimo fecerunt. Although not unpublished, the text is relatively neglected. Only three of 67 texts published by Dennison were reproduced in AE 1899 (nos 33-35) but most belonged to De Criscio’s private collection, which A casual visit to the grounds of Nymans house at Handcross in Sussex in August 2007 brought to light the current location of two inscribed stones last recorded in Pozzuoli at the turn of...
