The Roman Family as Institution and Metaphor after the Civil Wars
This chapter looks at the importance of the family unit in Roman concepts of civil war and the consequences of these ideas for the re-anchoring of the social order in the aftermath of the civil wars of 44-29 BCE.
Os columnatum Again
This article offers a new interpretation of the phrase "os columnatum" ("columned face") in Plautus, Miles Gloriosus 211. Instead of a reference to some form of punishment, it is suggested that the phrase indicates a commemorative dedication set up by the poet Naevius in or around 206 BCE
Vespasian's Apotheosis
In the study of the divinization of Roman emperors, a great deal depends upon the sequence of events. According to the model of consecratio proposed by Bickermann, apotheosis was supposed to be accomplished during the deceased emperor's public funeral, after which the Senate acknowledged what had transpired by decreeing appropriate honours for the new diuus . Contradictory evidence has turned up in the Fasti Ostienses, however, which seem to indi…
Remaking Rome
The rulers of great empires tend to lavish special attention on their capitals. As Suetonius recognized, Augustus was the first to endow Rome with an ornamental splendor that accorded with the majesty of its empire, so much that he rightly could have claimed to have taken over a city of brick and left one of marble. The Flavian Amphitheater can be viewed as a clear departure from the policies of Nero. Whatever dreams Nero or Vespasian might have …
Some of my Best Friends
Long regarded as the locus classicus for Roman antipathy toward contemporary Greeks, Juvenal's third Satire articulates the views of the narrator's “friend” Umbricius, who wishes to escape the flood of immigrants he sees as transforming Rome into a “Greek city.” This article attempts to unpack the relationship between the graecophobia ascribed to Umbricius' persona and the realities of ethnic prejudice in imperial Rome. The inconsistency of his a…
The Vestal Habit
This article reexamines the nature of the costume of the Vestal Virgins, arguing that instead of indicating the ambiguity of their position in relation to standard Roman sexual roles, the clothes they wore consistently emphasized their chastity
James H. Richardson. The Fabii and the Gauls
The concept of exemplarity, through which past acts are evaluated according to their usefulness as models for present conduct, has become a major focus in the study of Latin literature and, by extension, Roman history after the cultural turn. The centrality of this habit of thought for the structuring of Roman social memory is reflected most famously in Polybius's analysis of the aristocratic funeral, in which the commemoration of deeds performed…
Licinius Sura, Lucius
Sura (40?–108? CE ) was one of the most prominent members of the imperial court during the reign of Trajan.
Philhellenism
In ancient history, “philhellenism” refers to the behavior of non‐Greeks (typically Romans) who adopted Greek habits or pursued policies favorable to Greek states. The term derives from the adjective philhellen (”Greek‐loving”), which was deployed by the Greeks themselves to describe foreign rulers, like the Egyptian pharaoh Amasis (Hdt. 2.178), from whom they received benefits. Philhellen also applied to individuals, such as Hieron I of Syracuse…
Corbulo, Gnaeus Domitius
A charismatic and physically imposing general, Corbulo (4 BCE ?‐ 67 CE ; PIR 2 D 141; RE 50) became famous as a commander of Roman armies under Claudius and Nero. His high profile reflects the increasing opportunities for political advancement available to ambitious men of undistinguished ancestry under the Julio‐Claudian emperors, as well as the limitations and dangers that sometimes attended their careers.
Sosius Senecio, Quintus
Senecio (61–115? CE ) was one of the most prominent figures in Roman political and cultural life during the reign of Trajan.
Verginius Rufus, Lucius
When rebellion against Nero broke out in Gaul and Spain in 68 CE ( see Iulius Vindex, Gaius; Galba), Verginius (15–97 CE ; PIR 1 V 284; RE 27 ) was governor of Upper Germany, with three legions at his disposal ( see Germania (Superior and Inferior)).
Frontinus, Sextus Iulius
Frontinus (34?–104 CE ) was one of the most prominent and influential figures in Roman public life from the time of the Flavian emperors through the early years of Trajan's reign.
Reassessing the ‘Cumaean Chronicle’
A biographical digression on the Cumaean tyrant Aristodemus Malacus in Dionysius' Roman Antiquities has elicited widespread speculation about the existence of an early Greek source for events in Italy contemporaneous with the origins of the Roman Republic. The communis opinion about the importance of this hypothetical ‘Cumaean chronicle’ warrants reconsideration on two grounds. First, the events in question fall well before the development of Gre…
