  • The Oaths of the Athenians at the Ratification of Solon's Reforms

    Vincent J RosivachARTICLEPhoenix2010

    A careful reading of the sources for the ratification of Solon's laws, especially the Athenaion Politeia, shows that they swore to be governed by the new code, not to keep it unchanged for ten (or one hundred) years. This recourse to oaths shows the weakness of the Athenian state. Une lecture attentive des témoinages de la ratification des lois de Solon, surtout l'Athenaion Politeia, démontre que par leur serment les Athéniens ont accepté d'être …

  • Plautus, "Rudens" 1114, and the Power of Discourse

    Vincent J RosivachARTICLEThe Classical World2000

    About three-quarters of the way through Plautus' Rudens, two young women, Palaestra and Ampelisca, have taken refuge at an altar on stage, having earlier escaped from a shipwreck which separated them from the leno who owns them.' The sea has also washed up a trunk containing, among other things, a little box (cistella) with some childhood trinkets which Palaestra had saved in the hope that they would some day help her find her parents and establi…

  • Agricultural Slavery in the Northern Colonies and in Classical Athens: Some Comparisons

    Open AccessVincent J RosivachARTICLEComparative Studies in Society…1993Cited by: 31References: 19

    Our view of agricultural slavery tends to be dominated by the plantation model familiar from modern slavery, especially in the Caribbean and the Cotton Kingdom of the southern United States. The well-documented plantation model is in fact a useful comparative tool which, when properly used, can advance our understanding of the less well-documented Roman latifundist slavery. This plantation model is all but irrelevant, however, to the very differe…

    Open AccessVincent J RosivachARTICLETyche1988Cited by: 1

    In their discussions of ostracism as an institution, modern scholars tend to rely on the fuller accounts of relatively late sources (Androtion as quoted by Harpocration, Aristotle, Diodorus Siculus and Plutarch), and little attention is paid to the less systematic evidence found in several earlier literary sources (Cratinus, Aristophanes, Thucydides, [Andocides] 4, Plato, Demosthenes and Theophrastus)

    Étude des métiers que la comédie romaine et la poésie romaine du premier siècle av. J.-C. opposent à la vie d'amour et de loisir (amor et otium) des jeunes amoureux. Les métiers qui enrichissent un pauvre reflètent les valeurs du monde grec, les métiers qui mènent à l'honneur et à la gloire celles du monde romain.
