It has thus an exceptional position among the classical review journals and allows familiarization with research and publications in neighbouring disciplines. The reviews address an international readership from all fields in classical studies. The GNOMON publishes reviews in German, English, French, Italian and Latin

Cette étude explore la fonction politique du sacerdoce romain des decemuiri sacris faciundis et leur consultation des libri Sibyllini pendant la période centrale de la République romaine, en se concentrant spécifiquement sur la période de 367 à 104 avant notre ère. S’appuyant sur des études antérieures, cet article soutient que le Sénat romain a toujours maintenu un contrôle fort sur le Décemvirat, et qu’il a par conséquent utilisé ce sacerdoce p…
No Grain of Salt
That Cn. Pompeius Magnus (cos. 70, II 55, III 52) was charged with the Roman cura annonae in September 57 is a fact quite well known to Roman historians and all interested in the history of the late Republic. Although Pompeius' grain commission in many respects represented a novel development, relatively few have bothered to study the fine detail of what happened to be the third and final extraordinary proconsulship of his remarkable career, sign…
Subsidia dominationi
Whereas many aspects of the Augustan age continue to enjoy ongoing or renewed interest, the early careers of Tiberius Claudius Nero (born 16 November 42 BCE) and Nero Claudius Drusus (March/April 38 BCE), Livia’s sons from her marriage to Ti. Claudius Nero ( pr. 42), have not been subject to much discussion or controversy of late. On the one hand, this could, perhaps, be explained in that they were quite young during the formative stages of the s…
Historiography and Civil War
This volume is part of a burgeoning new trend that focuses on the great impact of stasis and civil war on Roman society, including mass violence (Osgood 2006; 2014; Breed et al. 2010; Welch 2012; Wienand 2012; Börm 2013; Börm et al. 2016; Havener 2016; Lange 2016; Armitage 2017; Ginsberg 2017; Maschek 2018; Omissi 2018; and, most recently, Ginsberg & Krasne 2018 ). However we approach the Late Republic – numerous possibilities include ‘crisis’, ‘…
Sulla and the Origins of the Concept of Bellum Civile
In the opening chapter on Sulla and the origins of the concept of bellum civile Carsten Hjort Lange and Frederik Juliaan Vervaet revisit a number of striking and revealing fragments of Sulla’s lost Res Gestae. Embedded in their wider historical and historiographical context, these select fragments – amongst other things – strongly suggest that the term bellum civile came into existence in the immediate aftermath of the civil wars of the 80s BCE a…
The Historiography of Late Republican Civil War
The Historiography of Late Republican Civil War is part of a burgeoning new trend that focuses on the great impact of stasis and civil war on Roman society. This volume specifically concentrates on the Late Republic, a transformative period marked by social and political violence, stasis, factional strife, and civil war. Its constitutive chapters closely study developments and discussions concerning the concept of civil war in the late republican…
On the Military Crowns Awarded after Naulochus
The epic naval battle of Naulochus, one of the watersheds in Caesar Octavianus’ rise to the rule of the Roman world, earned the victor, his subordinate commanders and his soldiers many special honours and distinctions. While some of these are well known and have received considerable attention, others remain obscure or have been largely overlooked. This paper seeks to enhance and deepen our understanding of the military crowns awarded respectivel…

Honour and Shame in the Roman Republic
The Remarkable Rise of the Flavians
The establishment of a monarchical regime by Julius Caesar and Augustus, with its professional army and a salaried and steadily growing imperial bureaucracy created unprecedented opportunities for aspiring members of the equestrian and municipal elites. Suetonius begins his biography of Vespasian by pointing to the humble origins, by Roman standards, of the gens Flavia, describing it as obscure and without ancestral portraits. The Flavians have a…
Last of the naval triumphs
In 29 B.C., after his victories over Marcus Antonius ( cos. 44, 34) and Cleopatra at Actium and in Egypt, Caesar Octavi(an)us, or Imperator Caesar Divi f., as he then wanted to be known, returned to Rome as the uncontested master of the Roman world. He did so in a carefully managed pageant that culminated with his triple triumph on 13, 14 and 15 Sextilis (the month later renamed Augustus in his honour) and the opening of the Temple of Divus Iuliu…
Honor and Humiliation in Apuleius’ Apologia
Apuleius’ Apologia has consistently drawn scholarly attention as an example of soaring rhetoric from the Second Sophistic and for being the only remaining account of a trial for illegal magic from the early Empire. This study opts for a different approach. It uses the Apologia as a window into the culture of Roman provincial high society by examining Apuleius’ motivations for demanding his accusers bring formal charges against him, as well as the…
Crassus’ Command in the War against Spartacus (73–71 BCE)
Late in 72 BCE, Spartacus’ stunning series of victories over the consuls L. Gellius Publicola and Cn. Cornelius Lentulus Clodianus and then the proconsul C. Cassius Longinus (cos. 73) triggered a dearth of candidates for the consular and praetorian elections for 71. This deadlock was broken only when M. Licinius Crassus announced that he would run for praetor, declaring he was prepared to accept the command against Spartacus. Immediately followin…

The Roman triumph was the official victory parade of a Roman general in celebration of resounding military success.
Private and Public Lies
Arrogating Despotic Power Through Deceit
It is fairly well-known that Imperator Caesar Divi filius, and his successor, Imperator Caesar Augustus, skilfully used dissimulatio as a political lubricant for acquiring novel or possibly offensive powers and privileges. This chapter shows that it was par excellence Pompeius Magnus who had already set the historic precedent for these hallmark features of Augustan autocracy and the so-called Principate. Caesar Octavianus repeatedly and emphatica…

Pompeius’ Career from 79 to 70 BCE
Cn. Pompeius Magnus is undoubtedly best known for his great commands of 67 and 66 BCE and his subsequent role as ally, then enemy, of Iulius Caesar. Nonetheless, comprehensive scrutiny of Pompeius’ track record from 79 to 70 BCE reveals that this was perhaps the most remarkable and ground breaking stage of his career. In 78, in the face of yet another civil war, the Senate charged Rome’s first ever eques triumphalis with an independent propraetor…
War in outer space
This chapter argues that both the geographical conditions and the extent of the Spanish theatre of war would deeply affect the nature and impact of the Roman presence in Spain, and this not only during the Second Punic War and its immediate aftermath, but also for the following two centuries. It clarifies the overall constitutional framework of the Roman presence in Spain from 217 to 197 BCE. The chapter focuses on the scope of the constitutive p…
