I.Sicily and Crossreads: A digital epigraphic corpus for ancient Sicily
I. Sicily: Building a Digital Corpus of the Inscriptions of Ancient Sicily
This paper presents the I.Sicily project. We focus first upon its original rationale and construction, since this provides explanations for the particular choices and approaches adopted, before exploring some of the challenges faced, as well as current and future developments. We believe that I.Sicily offers an interesting case study of a deliberately open-ended, continuous work-in-progress corpus. The project is constructed on the assumption tha…
Antiquae sunt istae leges et mortuae: The plebiscitum Claudianum and associated laws
This paper examines the evidence for four laws which restricted the activities of senators. Two of these, the plebiscitum Claudianum of 218 BC, restricting senatorial ship-owning, and the undated prohibition on senators undertaking public contracts are positively attested and widely accepted, even if their purpose and date (in the latter case) are debated. The other two, which prohibited senators from travelling outside of Italy and from owning l…

Cities and civic life in late Hellenistic Roman Sicily
Cet article propose une présentation générale et une réévaluation des sources sur les cités et la vie civique en Sicile, dans les deux derniers siècles avant notre ère : l’époque de la province romaine républicaine. L’étude s’ouvre par une brève critique de l’historiographie traditionnelle et de jugements contestables sur les statuts civiques, fondés en priorité sur les sources littéraires. Cette critique repose sur un appendice contenant une ana…

The Hellenistic West: Rethinking the Ancient Mediterranean
Although the Hellenistic period has become increasingly popular in research and teaching in recent years, the western Mediterranean is rarely considered part of the 'Hellenistic world'; instead the cities, peoples and kingdoms of the West are usually only discussed insofar as they relate to Rome. This book contends that the rift between the 'Greek East' and the 'Roman West' is more a product of the traditional separation of Roman and Greek histor…
Sicilian Identity in the Hellenistic and Roman Periods: Epigraphic Considerations
This chapter starts from an Attic funerary stele recording one Sōtērēs Sikeliōtis, and the issues this text raises about regional identities. The investigation of the nature and significance of Sicilian identity in the fifth century bc has based primarily on the distinction between Sikel (‘indigenous Sicilian’) and Sikeliote (‘Greek colonist in Sicily’): considerable weight has been placed on Diodorus and the claim therein for the universalizatio…
Republican Sicily at the start of the 21st Century: The Rise of the Optimists
This study considers trends in the historical study of Republican Sicily in the twentieth century. It outlines the existence of optimistic and pessimistic interpretations of the period, and examines some of the underlying reasons (principally the surviving evidence) for these views. In undertaking a review of current work on the island, this survey offers a note of cautious optimism about the current and future state of scholarship on Roman Repub…
Auxilia and Gymnasia: A Sicilian Model of Roman Imperialism
This paper examines the evidence for military activity in the Republican provincia of Sicily from the Punic Wars to the Civil Wars, and the implications of this for our understanding of Republican Sicily and Republican imperialism. After the Second Punic War there was very little use of Roman or Italian allied soldiers on the island, but extensive use, by Rome, of local Sicilian soldiers. The rich evidence for gymnasia suggests one way in which t…

Poenus plane est — but who were the ‘Punickes’
POENUS PLANE EST — MA CHI ERANO I ‘PUNICKES’? Il termine ‘punico’ (o equivalenti), derivato dal latino ‘Poenus’, è un luogo comune. Il suo uso in ogni caso è frequentemente poco chiaro e contraddittorio. Questo articolo ha due finalità principali: in primo luogo vuole chiarificare Papplicazione del termine ‘punico’, sia nell'uso antico, sia in quello moderno, insieme con termini affini e associati; in secondo luogo intende dimostrare che nell'evi…
