Delarivier Manley, Sarah Fyge Egerton and a Wedding Which Never Happened
Peter Pheasant, a wealthy young man about town who died of smallpox in 1703, kept Mary Thompson as his mistress and cast her off before he died. In an alternative account of the events, he married Thompson and she was entitled to dower from his estate after his death. The truth of these two claims was bitterly contested between Pheasant’s brothers and Thompson in the ecclesiastical courts. Thompson was backed by her friend Delarivier Manley, a we…
Personal Piety and Family Religion in Jewish Inscriptions from the Greco-Roman Diaspora
Jews who put up inscriptions were not usually trying to make a statement about their personal piety. They were, according to the nature of the inscription, commemorating a deceased relative or recording a contribution to their community. The ways in which they did so were often influenced more by their Greco-Roman surroundings than by a common Jewish tradition. Only a few inscriptions directly address an individual’s relationship with God. These …
Religionspraxis und Individualität
Der Band stellt die anthropologische Frage nach Transformationen des Personkonzepts von den vorderorientalischen Hochkulturen bis zur Spätantike in einem kulturübergreifenden und religionsgeschichtlichen Horizont. Nachdem die Artikulation von personaler Identität, von Individualität und von »inneren Tiefen« in der Vergangenheit oft erst in der Linie Platon – Paulus – Augustin angesetzt, sie der vorgriechischen Antike aber oft abgesprochen wurde, …
Laurens E. Tacoma. Moving Romans
Ancient Rome was a city of perhaps a million inhabitants, a level of population that could only be maintained by substantial migration. Many people who died in Rome were not born there. It has been argued that there were exceptionally high levels of mortality (e.g., Walter Scheidel, “Human Mobility in Roman Italy I: The Free Population,” Journal of Roman Studies 104 [2004]: 1–26), and that the fertility of migrants was low because family formatio…
God‐fearers
The Greek term theosebes (God‐worshipper) is found in numerous inscriptions, particularly from Asia Minor, and seems to correspond to the New Testament description “fearing/worshipping God” (e.g., Acts 13:16), so it has become conventional to refer to the people so described as God‐fearers.
Papyri, Jewish
The earliest papyri written by or concerning Jews come from Elephantine on the southern border of Egypt, sixth to fourth centuries BCE ( see Elephantine Papyri). Some light is thrown on Palestine under Ptolemaic rule by the Zenon Archive of the third century CE .
Epigraphy, Jewish
The basic definition of Jewish epigraphy is straightforward: the study of inscriptions written by Jews on stone and other permanent material.
Matchmaker
The Greek term promnestria (occasionally promnestris , proxenetria ) normally refers to a female matchmaker. Her role included making tentative approaches on behalf of a family seeking to arrange a marriage, recommending and reporting on potential spouses, and carrying out negotiations between families.
Archisynagogos
Archisynagogos was a Greek (occasionally Latinized) title used by Jewish synagogue leaders in most of the Roman Empire.

Inscriptiones Judaicae Orientis
Das Problem bei jeder Beschäftigung mit der jüdischen Diaspora stellen die Quellen dar, die aus sehr unterschiedlichen Gegenden, Zeiten und Kontexten stammen. Kleinasien, wie wir es aus der Apostelgeschichte kennen, gehört zu den Landschaften, in denen es besonders zahlreiche jüdische Gemeinden gab. Walter Ameling konzentriert sich auf eine bestimmte Quellengruppe in dieser Gegend, die Inschriften. Diese meist kaiserzeitlichen und spätantiken Tex…

Peace and Mercy upon all your Blessed People’
The mosaic of the synagogue of Apamea in Syria, dated to 392 CE, spotlights a Jewish community at a key moment in its history when, surrounded by outbreaks of anti-semitism and the destruction of synagogues, its members invested substantial resources in their own building. Careful reading of the mosaic inscriptions shows how the mosaic project was organised, and suggests that the female members of the community played a particularly important par…

Jewish Inscriptions of Western Europe
Although there was a substantial Jewish population in Western Europe from at least the first century BC, literary evidence for it before the end of the sixth century AD is very sparse, amounting to a few mainly hostile references by Roman writers and some material of doubtful historical value in rabbinic and hagiographic sources. Knowledge of the Jewish communities of the West is therefore almost entirely dependent on inscriptions, which contain …

Archisynagogoi
The cities of the Roman Empire were, on the whole, plural societies, which had in them significant sub-groups, ethnic, religious, or, indeed, both together — for the two categories were still only sometimes distinguishable. Such an environment carries many resonances for us and it is surprising to realize its neglect as a subject for study. The classical Greek polis had been a theoretically homogeneous institution of look-alike citizens, with out…
Wicked Stepmothers in Roman Society and Imagination
The wicked stepmother is a figure of considerable importance in Roman literature. Juno and Phaedra provided mythological models, and rhetorical training helped to perpetuate the stereotype. There are superficial resemblances to the wicked stepmother of European folklore, but Roman literature concentrates on one particular form of “wickedness”: the stepmother who deprives her stepson of his paternal inheritance, either for her own benefit or her c…
The Sena Tusconsul Tum Gaetulicianum
299 THE SENA TUSCONSUL TUM GAETULICIANUM Manus and Inheritance by DAVID NOY (Reading) 1 When the lex Papia Poppaea of A.D. 9 placed severe restrictions on the share of a deceased spouse's estate which a widow or widower could inherit by will, it was marriage sine manu with which the legislator was concerned. There is no reason to suppose, from any of the surviving texts, that marriage cum manu was dealt with directly. Ulp. Ep. 16 appears to quote…
A Misunderstanding about Roman Divorce Law
The extract from Paul's second book de adulteriis which is quoted at Digest 24.2.9 has been the source of much discussion about its implications for Roman divorce procedure. The text reads: nullum divortium ratum est nisi septem civibus Romanis puberibus adhibitis praeter libertumeius qui divortium faciet. libertum accipiemus etiam eum, qui a patre avo proavo et ceteris susum versum manumissus sit
