Evolution led humans to bipedalism, but we live in a sedentary society
Evolution led humans to bipedal stance and movement. However, we live in a sedentary society that strongly challenges our willingness to be physically active. We (mis)understand that being at least a Sunday runner could protect us from sedentary-related diseases, but what if this compromises the healthier life expectancy anyway? Citing Paul Gauguin, we know where we come from and what we are, the question arises about where we are going. And also…
The Provincial Imperial Cult in the Levant (Syria, Phoenice, Commagene, Judea, Decapolis, Arabia)
The provincial imperial cult represents one of the most relevant expressions of multiform relationship between provincial communities and Roman authorities especially in the East. During the Roman Principate in Syria, we can enumerate seven administrative districts (eparchies) which occur in connection with this political and religious phenomenon. The complicated question of how the province-wide worship of the Imperial family was organised in Ro…
The Tenchini’s collection
A group of 19th century inmates dead in the prison of Parma are the protagonist of an incredible scientific collection. Lorenzo Tenchini started the creation of this collection and dedicated his work and his studies to its completeness. Anatomist and academic, Lorenzo Tenchini (1852-1906) dedicated his scientific studies to macroscopic anatomy, particularly about central nervous system and its correlation with psychic function. In 1881 he became …
Kaiserkult in den Provinzen des Römischen Reiches
The cultic worship of the Roman Emperor and his family by the province's population was not only a religious but as well a political matter. It further involves relevant aspects in the field of media, social and economic history. With new epigraphic and numismatic sources, the papers in this volume illuminate the imperial cult in the provinces and even outside the empire from its origins to Late Antiquity.
Priest’—‘Eparchy-arch’—‘Speaker of the ethnos’
In the Roman Eastern provinces, the concept and rituals of a province-wide imperial cult were based on a pre-existing tradition of Hellenistic ruler’s divinization and worship. But its formal mise en place was conformed to the new territorial framework of Roman administration: a gubernatorial provincia /ἐπαρχεία appears subdivided into several administrative sub-provinces that were likewise called provinciae /ἐπαρχεῖαι. The cities of almost all k…
Koinon Syrias
Hellenische Poleis, Hellenarchen und koina der Hellenen fern der ‚Heimat‘. Die Hellenen-Titulatur vom Schwarzen Meer bis zur syrischen Wüstensteppe
The use of the Title τῶν Ἑλλήνων ὄνομα as shown by coins and inscriptions was not a culturally-based definition of Hellenic identity but a political/civic identity. A Ἑλληνάρχης for example was the representative of the Hellenes, precisely the inhabitants of the polis, in the koina but the title Hellenes does not have any ethno-cultural affiliation
Personifikationen von provinciae auf den Münzprägungen unter Hadrian
Die Gebietsnamen der Personifikationen auf den sog. Reiseerinnerungsmünzen des Kaisers Hadrian lassen sich alle als Bezeichnungen von administrativen Gebietseinheiten nachweisen. Sie vermitteln etwa im Unterschied zu den in einem offensichtlich militärisch-triumphalen Repräsentationskontext ausdrücklich als ἔθνη veranschlagten Reliefdarstellungen im Sebasteion von Aphrodisias oder den literarisch mit Ethnika bezeichneten Darstellungen von gentes …
