British Pattern 1907 Bayonets Marked to the Royal Air Force: An Archaeo-Historical Investigation
A known total of 83 World War One period Pattern 1907 bayonets for the ‘Rifle, Short, Magazine, Lee-Enfield, Mark III’ have pommel markings indicating issue to the Royal Air Force, formed on 1st April 1918. They bear alpha-numeric serial markings best interpreted as stock-taking marks, suggesting a maximum total of 70,000 were allocated for use by that air force. The written sources indicate that from at least 1922 to 1937, bayonets and the rifle…
A Call for Arms! Supplying the Sultan’s Army, 1916-1918
A common feature of Turkey’s principal military-focused museums and of many local ones also, are displays of military equipment used in the First World War and in Turkey’s War of Independence (1919–1923). In many cases these are rifles and bayonets supplied by Germany to the Ottoman Empire during two specific periods: from 1887 to 1903, when Germany supplied all the modern infantry weaponry used by the Ottoman army; and from 1916 to 1918, when Be…
Un engin de torture, une baïonnette à crochets; une arme blanche déshonorée ’: An historical-archaeological evaluation of the Sawback bayonets of the Deutsches Heer
The Imperial German Army (Deutsches Herr) was unique among the combatants in World War One (WW1) in issuing to a proportion of its soldiers a bayonet whose blade back was fashioned as a saw. A common belief developed quickly among the Allies that these sawback bayonets were weapons specifically intended to inflict a particularly vicious type of wound. After setting out the origins of this class of weapon and explaining their real purpose, the two…
Mummies for export? The Repatriation of a corpse from Alexandria to Ancyra in the Roman Imperial Period
An inscription on a sarcophagus of the mid- or late second century AD found at Ancyra (modern Ankara, Turkey) indicates that it contained the repatriated body of an Ancyran who died in Alexandria. While absolute proof is lacking, it seems likely that his body had been mummified to allow for its return. As such, this sarcophagus and its inscription provide a rare reference to a mummy being sent out of Egypt for burial elsewhere
The cohortes Augustae Cyrenaicae
The auxiliary regiments of the Imperial Roman army were as vital to the defensive and offensive capabilities of the Roman Empire as the better-known Roman legions. Initially raised on an ethnic basis through the levy from among Rome’s subject peoples, and then maintained at or near their full strength by conscription and voluntary recruitment, these units of auxilia were often deployed far from their original ‘home’. As such, by analysing where t…
Gladiators at Ancyra
6 Plut.Luc.23.For other gladiatorial shows in Asia Minor in the pre-Imperial period, cf.Cic.Att., 6.3.9, referring to gladiators at Laodiceia, and Phil.6.13, noting a combat between a murmillo and thraex at Mylassa; also Dio 51.7.2-7, reporting gladiators at Cyzicus who belonged to a private school maintained by Mark Antony. 7Despite its lack of an index, Junkelmann 2000 provides the most succinct analysis of the origins, history, weapons, armour…

The Political and Physical Topography of Early Imperial Graeco-Roman Ancyra
In his magistral study of Anatolia in antiquity, S. Mitchell drew attention to the way Rome presided over the process of urbanisation in Galatia specifically through the founding of three new city states at Ancyra, Tavium and Pessinus. He further observed that the political model adopted for this process was the settlement Pompey imposed on Pontus in c. 64 BC, by which that newly annexed territory was divided into eleven poleis, each given an ass…
New evidence from Ankara for the collegia veteranorum and the albata decursio
A tombstone of a legionary centurion found in Ankara proves to be of wider and greater significance than was originally recognised. Not only does it offer valuable evidence for early local recruitment patterns into the Roman legions, but, more importantly, it supplies the fifth recorded reference in the entire Roman Empire for a collegium veteranorum , a fraternity of army veterans; and the fourth known record in the whole epigraphic corpus for t…
The origins and early history of the Pontic-Cappadocian frontier
With an overall length of about 550km, the Pontic-Cappadocian frontier was among the longest in the Roman Empire. It is also the least known, as there is a minimal amount of literary, epigraphic and archaeological evidence available for the location and identity of the province's garrison. In addition, many of the military stations known or believed to have existed on the frontier are now lost beneath the waters of the Keban dam. However, a re-ex…
Trajan: Optimus Princeps
Did Trajan really deserve his reputation as the embodiment of all imperial virtues? Why did Dante, writing in the Middle Ages, place him in the sixth sphere of Heaven among the Just and Temperate rulers?In this, the only biography of Trajan available in English, Julian Bennett rigorously tests the substance of this glorious reputation. Surprisingly, for a Roman emperor, Trajan comes through the test with his reputation relatively intact
