Belenus, Cybele, and Attis
There are two interesting cases of the worship of Roman period deities in the north-eastern Italian and Pannonian regions, which in one way or another seem to have survived through the early medieval to modern times. The first is the cult of Belenus, the well-known Celtic and most notably Norican and Aquileian god. The second case is that of Cybele and Attis, the so-called eastern deities, whose cult became highly influential in the mentioned are…
The creation of the province of Dalmatia in light of the recent research
Much of the history of Illyricum, the predecessor of Dalmatia, is obscure and our knowledge limited, but it can be regarded as very likely that at the time of Caesar’s proconsulate no independent and administratively regulated province existed in Illyricum, which must have happened after Octavian’s Illyrian War (35-33 BC); earlier, the main masters of Dalmatia had been the Delmatae. In 59 BC, the administration of Cisalpine Gaul and Illyricum, al…
Roman Funerary Monuments of South-Western Pannonia in their Material, Social, and Religious Context
This book has come about as a result of the project 'Roman Funerary Monuments of South-Western Pannonia in their Material, Social, and Religious Context', unfolding between 2015 and 2018 in the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts under the auspices of the Croatian Science Foundation, with B. Migotti as the project leader and M. Sasel Kos and I. Radman-Livaja as collaborators. 'Roman Funerary Monuments of South-Western Pannonia in their Material…
Bilješka o mornaričkom centurionu Likeju iz Apsora
Nadgrobna stela Likeja (Liccaeus), sina Vejova, centuriona liburne Lucusta, izložena je u lapidariju u Osoru (Apsorus) na otoku Cresu (Crexi). Bila je objavljena više puta, ali ni jedna od tih objava nije uzela u obzir sve raspoložive podatke o mjestu njezina nalaska. Likej i njegov nasljednik Dabal (Dabalus), sin Tritov, nisu pripadali starosjedilačkom stanovništvu otoka, već su mogli potjecati s delmatskog područja. Unatoč tomu, Likej je morao …
From the Tauriscan Gold Mine to the Goldenhorn and the Unusual Alpine Animal Od zlata pri Tavriskih do Zlatoroga in nenavadne alpske živali
Three themes are analysed in the article, which are related under certain aspects to each other. These are the discovery of a rich gold deposit in the land of the Taurisci, mentioned by the Greek historian, Polybius, and the geographer and historian, Strabo; the folk-tale of the Goldenhorn/Zlatorog, in which the search for gold and treasure is reflected; and the third, the peculiar Alpine animal mentioned by the same Greek writers. It could be in…
Belin Belin
As late as the end of the 19th century a tradition concerning Belin was still alive in the area of Tolmin, among the Slovenes there, who regarded Belin as a great healer and believed that with his »key« it was possible to cure blindness. It may be hypothesized that there was a continuity of worship of the Aquileian Belinus/Belenus, through the late Roman period and late antiquity up to the early Slavic period. The Slavs that settled in this regio…
The Problem of the Border between Italy, Noricum, and Pannonia
The boundary stone between the territories of Aquileia and Emona, discovered near Bevke to the southwest of Ljubljana (Slovenia), and most probably dated to the period of Augustus, has confirmed the previously argued hypothesis that Emona belonged to Italy from the very beginning of its existence as a colonia Iulia. Two important arguments speak in favour of an early dating of the boundary stone. It is made of Aurisina limestone, quarried in the …
The Roman conquest of Illyricum (Dalmatia and Pannonia) and the problem of the northeastern border of Italy
The article is a summarized overview of the Roman conquest of Illyria, later known as the Roman province of Illyricum, the predecessor of Dalmatia and Pannonia. Three Illyrian wars and the defeat of the two Illyrian kingdoms (Agron and Teuta, Demetrius of Pharos, and Genthius) led to the establishment of Roman Illyria, which increased with further Roman conquests. After the foundation of Aquileia in 181 BC, the Romans began to penetrate the north…
The ‘great lake’ and the Autariatai in Pseudo-Skylax
Ce passage controversé du Périple se rapporte au fleuve Naron, à la place commerciale située en amont à 80 stades de la mer et à un grand lac (avec une grande île fertile) à l’arrière de l’emporium. Le lac, d’où s’écoule le Naron, s’étend jusqu’aux Autariatai, une communauté illyrienne. Or, aucun lac n’existe en amont du fleuve Naron (Neretva), mais seulement de très vastes marais. Trois hypothèses majeures ont été avancées à ce jour pour identif…
Demetrios of Pharos
Demetrios most probably originated from a (half‐)Greek family, which had settled on Pharos for generations.
Agron, Illyrian
Agron, son of Pleuratos (a common Illyrian name), came from the royal house of the Ardiaioi. In the period before 230 BCE , he reconquered southern Illyria, which had since Pyrrhos belonged to Epirus, and also brought under his dominion Corcyra, Epidamnos, and Pharos.
Teuta, Illyrian queen
Teuta was the second wife of the Illyrian (Ardiaean) king Agron and stepmother as well as regent to his son and successor Pinnes.
Genthios, Illyrian king
According to Appian, the center of the kingdom of the last “Illyrian” king Genthios (early second century BCE ) was different from that of Agron and Pinnes ( III . 9.25); and indeed, as is known from Livy, Genthios reigned among the Labeates (43.19.3), who had the capital near Labeatis Lacus.
Dalmatia
The province of Dalmatia, formerly Illyricum, was named after the Delmatae, who occupied the hinterland of Salona between the rivers Titius (Krka) and Nestos/Hippius (Cetina) on the fringes of the Illyrian kingdom, with their center at Delminium on the Duvanjsko polje plain. Their northern neighbors, the Liburni, controlled the region from the Titius to the Arsia River (Raša) in Istria, including the nearby islands.
Noricum
The province of Noricum comprised southern Bavaria, most of modern Austria, and northern Slovenia.
Illyria and Illyrians
The history of the Illyrians and Illyria, variously understood in modern scholarship, is divided into different phases, of which the first, lasting until the collapse of the Illyrian kingdom, may be explained in terms of (varying) alliances of tribes and peoples of common or similar ethnic background, speaking similar languages.
Pannonia or Lower Illyricum
The inscription AE 1961, 22 from between 54 and 68 AD is not an evidence for the separation of Illyricum into Dalmatia and Pannonia as believed by P. Kovács. In this private dedication to Nero the name Pannonia seems to have been used instead of the official name. There is no evidence that Illyricum Inferius was called Pannonia before Vespasian
The Story of the Grateful Wolf and Venetic Horses in Strabo’s Geography Pripovedka o hvaležnem volku in venetskih konjih v Strabonovi Geografiji
Strabo (the Greek historian and geographer of the Augustan Age) reported that the sanctuary of the Greek hero Diomedes, to whom the ancient Veneti used to sacrifice a white horse, was located in the area of the sacred site at the Timavus River where it flows into the Adriatic. In this passage Strabo also narrated the (aetiological) story of a wolf, which had been saved from the nets of hunters by a well-to-do man. As an act of gratitude, the wolf…
The Festival of Carna at Emona
An elegant funerary stele was immured in the southern wall of the small church of sv. Lenart (St. Leonard) at the village of Spodnje Gameljne (Tafel 8, Abb. 1), some 9 km to the north of Ljubljana (= Emona); in 1997 it was removed from the wall, transported to the National Museum of Slovenia and replaced with an excellent cast
The Noarus River in Strabo's Geography
Strabo is the only ancient author who twice mentioned an elsewhere unknown Noarus River near Segestica (elose to Siscia, present-day Sisak in Croatia). In the 5th chapter of his 7th book he described the European regions situated south of the Danube
The Tauriscan Gold Mine. Remarks Conceming the Settlement of the Taurisci
When the Celtic Taurisci conquered the southeastern Alpine regions some time in the beginning of the 3rd century B.C. and settled in the territories inhabited more or less densely by the Hallstatt period population, they brought with them different cultures and a different way of life
The Embassy of Romulus to Attila. One of the last citations of Poetovio in classical literature
Poetovio, an important Norican settlement on the ancient amber trading route, belonged to the province of Pannonia in the period of its greatest prosperity, and was known from the period of Trajan onwards as colonia Ulpia. As is shown by the Itinerarium Hierosolymitanum (561, 4) and the Tabula Peutingeriana (IV, 20), in the 4th century - undoubtedly after the changes in provincal administration introduced by Diocletian - the city was again attach…
An Unusual Gift for Mithras' Sanctuary in Salonae
In 1884 Bulic published a small moulded altar from Salonae (inscribed surface measuring 28 x 26 cm), now in the Archaeological Museum in Split, which was included by Hirschfeld in CIL III under the no. 8686 (= ILS 3943) and tentatively supplemented as follows
Draco and the Survival ofthe Serpent Cult in the Central Balkans
Religious credences which often have their origin in prehistory are deeply rooted inpeople's minds; beliefs and superstitions manifesting themselves in many ways are usually the last to disappear from daily life. Frequently they survive in a distorted form up to modern times, as anthropologists are well aware
A Latin Epitaph of a Roman Legionary from Corinth
A Roman funerary monument was found in 1970 in the area of ancient Corinth, in a part of the village called Kranion (κράνιον), where no other finds have yet been made. Eventually it was acquired by the Corinth Museum, where it now stands in the portico of the courtyard
