Economy, Frontiers, and the Silk Road in Western Historiographies of Graeco- Roman Antiquity
Although the last few years have seen a surge of publications on Indo-Roman trade and Silk Road exchange, 1 the trans-imperial trade connections of the Hellenistic and Roman Empires have never been central to the field of Graeco-Roman history. The Greeks and Romans were Mediterranean societies. Their involvement in Asia beyond Asia Minor was the result of colonization, annexation, and conquest, but not central to their cultural formation, empire …
Berserks
Berserks, mad warriors scorning wounds and death, constituted an Indo-European warrior style on the same order as wolf-warriors. This study traces their history as far as we can know it, from Mesopotamia to Iceland, from 1300 B.C. to A.D. 1300. Making use of new archaeological and literary sources, the study shows berserks to be a long-lived, cross-cultural phenomenon that lends color and coherence to the early millennia of recorded history.

Michael P. Speidel, Les prétoriens de Maxence. Les cohortes palatines romaines, p. 183-186. Réexamen des bases inscrites du forum de Trajan à Rome publiées par R. Paribeni (NSA, 1933, p. 484-485). Avant les épithètes romana palatina regravées à la place de praetoria figurait également un numéro. Il s'agit donc bien des cohortes prétoriennes auxquelles Maxence a voulu donner un nouveau surnom honorifique
Venus Victrix — Roman and Oriental
The Religion of Iuppiter Dolichenus in the Roman Army
The Pay of the Auxilia
One of Rome's greatest achievements was the successful enlistment of her conquered peoples for the defence of her empire. How much was Roman statesmanship willing to pay for this? Part of the answer lies in the dignity, freedom, and participation which Roman rule granted to these peoples. Another part of the answer will be found in the pay of the auxilia ; for although they were recruited from among the subject nations they matched the legions in…
The Captor of Decebalus A New Inscription from Philippi
A huge tombstone with two reliefs and a Latin inscription accidentally came to light in 1965 in the fields of Grammeni, a village to the north-west of the ancient Philippi in Macedonia (Pl. XIII). The inscription represents the most detailed career of a Roman soldier so far known, providing new information on the structure and functioning of the Roman army. Its hero is revealed as the ‘captor’ of King Decebalus, one of imperial Rome's greatest an…
