The Rules of the Game in the Study of Ancient History
The Rules of the Game," expounded in ten remarkably bold theses, can easily be read as a synthetic retrospective or introduction to the formidable oeuvre of Arnaldo Momigliano. Indeed, this piece served as the opening chapter to his Introduzione bibliografica alla storia greca fino a Socrate (Florence: La Nuova Italia, 1975), and its subsequent reprints as an independent essay in several Italian journals and anthologies signal its importance for …

The Rise of the plebs in the Archaic Age of Rome
Johann Gustav Droysen zwischen Griechen und Juden
Nach fast vierzig Jahren kehrt Momigliano in diesem Artikel zu Johann Gustav Droysen zurück, den er schon in den dreißiger Jahren gleich zweimal (vgl den vorhergehenden Beitrag*) eingehend behandelt hatte. Diesmal beschränkt er sich auf Droysens eigenes Konzept des Hellenismus, das er einer methodologisch stringenten, wissenschaftlich souveränen, gleichzeitig aber menschlich außerordentlich einfühlsamen Analyse unterzieht. Das Ergebnis ist eine d…

Herodot und die moderne Geschichtsschreibung
In der John Rylands Library in Manchester, jenem neugotischen Tempel der humanistischen Studien, ist mir zum ersten Mal die Besonderheit des lateinischen Epigramms aufgefallen, das am Ende der editio princeps des Tacitus von ungefähr 1473 steht. Das Epigramm ist als solches wohlbekannt, denn es wird im Katalog des British Museum in voller Länge zitiert. Der Drucker Vindelinus de Spira schickt das Werk des fast vergessenen Geschichtsschreibers mit…
Der erste politische Kommentar zu Tacitus
Nur die Gelehrsamkeit, die Weisheit und der Verstand von N. H. Baynes könnten dem Einfluß des Tacitus auf das moderne politische und historische Denken völlig gerecht werden. Da kein anderer Althistoriker unserer Zeit so am Vermächtnis des klassischen Altertums interessiert ist wie Baynes, schien es mir nicht unpassend zu sein, ihm aus meiner piemontesischen Heimat den folgenden Beitrag zur Geschichte des Einflusses des Tacitus zu überreichen. Ei…
Alte Geschichte und antiquarische Forschung
Im 18. Jahrhundert trat eine neue Art des Humanismus mit dessen traditioneller Auffassung in Konkurrenz. Diese neue Strömung kam in Gelehrtengesellschaften auf und war nicht mehr auf die Universitäten beschränkt; sie wurde eher von gebildeten Amateuren getragen als von den zur Lehre Berufenen. Diese Leute zogen es vor, zu reisen statt Textkritik zu betreiben, und im allgemeinen standen für sie Münzen, Statuen, Vasen und Inschriften eher im Vorder…
Ausgewählte Schriften zur Geschichte und Geschichtsschreibung
Die Wissenschaftsgeschichte der Antike und des Humanismus bis zur Moderne war ein von Momigliano maßgeblich gestaltetes Feld. Dieser Band gibt mit zwölf Aufsätzen aus den Jahren 1947 - 1977 einen Quer
Die Historiker der Antike und ihr Publikum
Wenn von griechischen oder römischen Autoren und ihrem Publikum die Rede sein soll, muß man zunächst eine selbstverständliche Unterscheidung treffen. Einige der wichtigsten Gattungen der antiken Literatur — z. B. die epische Dichtung, das Drama, die Redekunst und die lyrische Dichtung (wenigstens in einigen ihrer Spielarten) — waren für eine bestimmte Gelegenheit geschrieben und hatten einen festlichen Charakter. Die epische Dichtung hatte ursprü…
Die griechische Geschichtsschreibung
Wie die Römer sind wir uns bewußt, den Begriff der Geschichte (historía) von den Griechen geerbt zu haben. Wie für Cicero (leg. 1, 1, 5) ist auch für uns Herodot der »Vater der Geschichte«. Geschichtsschreibung ist als Teil eines größeren Vermächtnisses auf uns gekommen, das Philosophie, Mathematik, Astronomie, Naturgeschichte, Bildende Künste einschließt — und insbesondere die wichtigsten Gattungen der Literatur (Epos, Lyrik, Beredsamkeit, Tragö…
Polybios, Poseidonios und der römische Imperialismus
Die griechische Geschichtsschreibung war von ihrer politisch-militärischen Ausrichtung her eindeutig darauf vorbereitet, Rom zu verstehen. Es ist kein Zufall, daß der Grieche Polybios der Historiker des republikanischen Roms geworden ist. Doch ergibt sich daraus die Frage, die sich durchaus nicht auf diesen einen Fall beschränkt, in welcher Weise und wie weitgehend es den griechischen Geschichtsschreibern gelungen ist, eine fremde Kultur zu verst…
Überlieferung und Erfindung bei Ktesias
Nach der eingehenden Behandlung, die Felix Jacoby in Pauly-Wissowas Realencyclopädie den Fragen um Ktesias hat angedeihen lassen, kann man nicht mehr ohne weiteres davon ausgehen, daß der Geschichtsschreiber aus Knidos Überlieferungen der vorangehenden Zeit getreulich wiedergibt, seien sie nun wahr oder falsch.1 Was einzelne Forscher bereits als Verdacht genährt hatten, wurde nun bei Jacoby überzeugend und systematisch bewiesen: Ktesias sammelt n…

The development of Greek biography
"Tracing the growth of ancient biography from the fifth century to the first century B.C., Arnaldo Momigliano asks fruitful questions about the origins and development of Greek biography. By clarifying the social and intellectual implications of the fact that the Greeks kept biography and autobiography distinct from historiography, he contributes to an understanding of a basic dichotomy in the Western tradition of historical writing. This classic…

On Pagans, Jews, and Christians
Arnaldo Momigliano is the greatest contemporary scholar of the history and historiography of classical civilization. M.I. Finley has written in the New Statesman that there is no one alive today who knows the subject as he does. On Pagans, Jews, and Christians is an important addition to his masterly work, bringing together nineteen essays written in the past five years from sources such as The New York Review of Books, The American Scholar, and …
Moses Finley on Slavery
Moses Finley's interest in slavery was a strong component of his interest in the ancient world: it had been fostered both by his teachers at Columbia and by his collaboration with the Frankfurt School in its New York version of Institute of Social Research. The passion, the acumen and the realism of Finley were concentrated on the clarification of the situation of the slaves within the different societies of the classical world. He had been famil…

Two Types of Universal History
Orpheus Philologus
Alien Wisdom
In this classic study of cultural confrontation Professor Arnaldo Momigliano looks at the attitude of the Greeks to four different civilizations - the Roman, Celtic, Jewish and Persian - and analyses their cultural and intellectual interactions from the fourth to the first centuries BC. He argues that in the Hellenistic period the Greeks, Romans and Jews formed a special exclusive relationship and effectively established what until recent times w…

Popular religious beliefs and the late Roman historians
Students of historiography have become increasingly gloomy in their evaluation of the Greek founding fathers of historiography. All the limits, the shortcomings, and the failures of conventional history writing – the histoire événementielle of French terminology – have been laid at the door of Thucydides. Herodotus has escaped obloquy, either because he offered a promise of variety, curiosity, humour and sensitiveness which Thucydides spoiled, or…
Time in Ancient Historiography
Before I get down to those problems about time that seem to me relevant to ancient historiography, I have to eliminate a series of faulty questions, part of which at least derive from an arbitrary introduction of the notion of eternity into the historian's business; for this conception even in the form of eternal return is likely to lead to confusion and errors of various kinds.2 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. To the untut…

The Locrian Maidens and the Date of Lycophron's Alexandra
The tribute of two maidens to the temple of Athena in Ilium was discontinued after the end of the ‘Phocian’ war (346 B.C.). We have for this the evidence of the Epitome of Apollodorus 6. 22 χéων δ τν παρελӨντων μετ τν Φωκiκν πλεπoν ἱκτiδας πασαντo πμoντεσ. In Tzetzes' commentary to Lycophron 1. 1141 the same piece of information is given on the authority of Timaeus (pp. 335–6 Scheer = fr. 66 FHG ), but Wilamowitz, among others, showed that Tzetze…

A New Date for the Battle of Andros? A Discussion
I. The present paper was read as one of ‘Three Notes of Doubt and One of Despair’ at the Oxford Philological Society in June 1948. Generally speaking, there is nothing to be said in favour of publishing an article on a text one is admittedly unable to under-stand. But in this case it has seemed advisable to start a discussion. I am therefore grateful to my friend P. Fraser for having consented to communicate his thoughts on the matter in an appen…

Terra Marique’
The importance of Lycophron's Alexandra for the history of the relations between Rome and the Hellenistic world hardly needs emphasis. The date of the poem depends on the interpretation of 11. 1229–30, where the Romans are described as γῆσ καὶ θαλάσσησ σκῆπτρα καὶ μοναρχίαν λαβόντεσ. It seems, therefore, necessary to inquire whether these lines imply a real world-power of the Romans, as many, following Niebuhr, have said, or whether they repeat a…

Georges Dumezil and the Trifunctional Approach to Roman Civilization
Let us start by paying homage to the immense work which Georges Dumezil, who was born in 1898, has done over an immense territory, inside and outside the cultures we call Indo-European. A formidable linguist, Dumezil, as is well known, has produced enough work on the Caucasian languages to ensure for himself a permanent place in that field. He has virtually saved the evidence of a dying language, Ubykh, which about ten years ago was still being s…

An Interim Report on the Origins of Rome
With three volumes of E. Gjerstad's Early Rome still outstanding we are exactly in the middle of the new phase of the research on the origins of Rome. Other works due to appear very soon (perhaps they will already have appeared by the time these pages are published) include A. Alföldi's T. S. Jerome Lectures on Early Rome and the Latins , R. Werner's Der Beginn der römischen Republik and a new volume by H. Müller-Karpe, the author of Vom Anfang R…

Literary Chronology of the Neronian Age
J. M. C. Toynbee's study ‘Nero Artifex: the Apocolocyntosis Reconsidered’, C.Q. xxxvi, 1942, 83–93, has the double merit of questioning what had never been questioned—the dating of the Apocolocyntosis about A.D. 54–5—and of making many valuable observations on the importance of the Neronia of A.D. 60. But the attempt to transfer to these Neronia the Apocolocyntosis , the Carmina by Calpurnius, the second of the Carmina Einsiedlensia , and, to a c…

Panegyricus Messallae and ‘Panegyricus Vespasiani’
I. Dio Cassius mentions Augustus' plans to conquer Britain under the years 34, 27, 26 B.C. (49, 38, 2; 53, 22, 5; and 53, 25, 2). Dateable literary evidence supports Dio. Before 36 B.C. and after 23 B.C. there is no clear allusion in contemporary poets to any intention or desire to attack the Britons

A Hundred Years After Ranke
About a hundred years ago a student of the University of Berlin would have been able to hear Boeckh lecturing on Enzyklopädie und Methodologie der philologischen Wissenschaften and Droysen lecturing on Enzyklopädie und Methodologie der Geschichte (Historik). He could also hear Ranke, whose Epochen der neueren Geschichte were delivered, not however in Berlin, in 1854
Perizonius, Niebuhr and the Character of Early Roman Tradition
‘The famous Ballad theory of Niebuhr of which we seldom hear now except in connexion with Macaulay's lays’ ... These are the words of Mr. Last's tutor—W. Warde Fowler. When he wrote them, in 1912, Warde Fowler was apparently not aware that the ballad theory had been revived a few years before by an Italian historian who was to exercise a deep influence on Mr. Last. But the ballad theory involves other names—such as Perizonius, Vico, Niebuhr, Schw…
Some Observations on the ‘Origo Gentis Romanae’
I. Two manuscripts of the fifteenth century—Cod. Bruxellensis (Pulmanni), bibl. regia 9755–63 and Cod. Oxoniensis (Bodl. Canon. Class. Lat. 131)—have preserved for us a ‘corpus’ including three pamphlets: (1) the so-called ‘Origo gentis romanae’ (a title, we shall see, not supported by evidence); (2) the ‘Liber de viris illustribus urbis Romae’; (3) ‘Aurelii Victoris Historiae abbreviatae,’ more commonly known as ‘Caesares’. The ‘Liber de viris i…
