This paper presents a methodology for analyzing the religious preferences of the believers in Roman Hispania who worshipped a deity as part of their particular devotion or as part of their state ...responsibilities. The aim of the project is to create an epigraphic corpus, to be kept in archaeological museums, which will allow us to collect this epigraphic evidence in a virtual way. The methodology includes the following steps: creating the database, consulting different epigraphic repositories, visiting the museums to select the epigraphs, and implementing the virtualization techniques. The creation of this digital repertoire (Hispania 3.0) offers not only researchers but also the general public the possibility of approaching their historical past with information in real time. The criterion for the selection of these epigraphs was none other than the dedications made by Hispano-Roman believers, showing the divinity they worshipped, whether they were the dedicators, or the recipients of the inscriptions collected. These characteristics allow us to determine the geographical origin of the inscriptions and the administrative boundaries of the Hispania to which they belong.
Presentamos aquí tres inscripciones romanas, inéditas y presumiblemente procedentes del territorio de la actual provincia de Córdoba, dos de ellas registradas en el segundo volumen de la ...autobiografía de Carlos Castilla del Pino titulada Casa del Olivo. Las dos primeras son de carácter funerario y, al menos la segunda, se acomoda en tipología y contenido a los parámetros usuales de la epigrafía funeraria de la antigua Colonia Patricia Corduba; por el contrario, la tercera, fragmentada, corresponde a un epígrafe de carácter métrico
Analizamos en este trabajo unos documentos gráficos relativos a diversas inscripciones de Acinippo (Ronda la Vieja, Málaga) conservados en la Real Academia de la Historia (Madrid). Estos documentos ...(dos láminas de dibujos y una fotografía) formaban parte del material que complementaba la “Memoria” que, sobre dicho lugar, escribió el cronista rondeño Antonio Madrid Muñoz; sin embargo, no llegaron a incluirse en la publicación de la misma, que vio la luz en 1913, privando a la comunidad científica de unos datos de gran interés para la correcta valoración de los epígrafes en ella registrados
Marginal annotations by Policarpo Palermi, a jurist fom Verona, can be found in a volume of Torello Saraina’s De origine et amplitudine civitatis Veronae, published in 1540 and now kept in Verona ...public library. In this paper we present an edition and study of these marginal notations (additions of Roman inscriptions and corrections of Saraina’s edition and localizations).
Si editano e studiano le postille marginali del giurista veronese Policarpo Palermi ad un esemplare del De origine et amplitudine civitatis Veronae di Torello Saraina (pubblicato nel 1540), conservato nella Biblioteca Civica di Verona. In quest’esemplare, Palermi aggiunse iscrizioni di Verona, correse le lezioni del testo pubblicato da Saraina e ne aggiornò le localizzazioni.
Se analizan las posibilidades del Image based modeling (IBM), como técnica de escaneado 3D de bajo coste para la modelización de inscripciones romanas, a partir del trabajo realizado en el Museo ...Arqueológico Nacional de Madrid sobre una amplia tipología de soportes epigráficos (piedra, bronce, arcilla), con resultados óptimos para la catalogación, estudio y difusión de este tipo de documentación histórica. Los resultados obtenidos permiten obtener inscripciones romanas en 3D que se pueden incorporar a los proyectos de epigrafía digital en curso, permitiendo su acceso a través de ordenadores y dispositivos móviles, sin coste añadido para los investigadores.

The re-conquest of southern Scotland by the army of the Emperor Antoninus Pius was a political act intended to secure his position on the throne. For this event, he took the acclamation 'Conqueror'. ...His soldiers erected large stone slabs to mark their construction of the new frontier and decorated several with triumphal scenes. In these sculptures the soldiers portrayed themselves not only as victorious conquerors but also engineers and builders, celebrating not only the success of their emperor but their own community of soldiers.

Circula, mesmo no meio científico, a ideia de que a cidade de Silves provém de um aglomerado urbano romano, que manteve ocupação durante a Alta Idade Média e resultou na grande Xilb islâmica. Para ...tal contribuiu, numa primeira fase, uma certa historiografia romântica e, nas últimas décadas do século XX, algumas inferências a partir de achados arqueológicos, informação que gostaríamos de sistematizar e analisar aqui, acrescentando novos dados retirados de intervenções arqueológicas mais recentes. Percorreremos as várias correntes de opinião, por vezes abordadas apenas em torno da problemática da génese da cidade islâmica. Deter-nos-emos, com maior acuidade, na análise de alguns referentes que iam no sentido de uma certa corrente defensora da ocupação romana do local da actual cidade, nomeadamente uma inscrição romana que informa sobre a existência, em Silves, de um templo dedicado a Neptuno.
Even in scientific circles, some defend the idea that the city of Silves originated from a Roman urban settlement that prevailed during the High Middle Ages and resulted in the great Islamic Xilb. To this assumption contributed, at first, a certain romantic historiography and, in the last decades of the 20th century, some inferences based on archaeological findings that we would like to study, adding new data obtained from recent archaeological works. We will go through the various currents of opinion, usually approached only in the context of study of the origins of the Islamic city, focusing on some data that led to the thesis of the Roman occupation of the site of the actual city, namely a Roman inscription which mentions the existence of a temple dedicated to Neptune in Silves.
The paper discusses the notion of Frisian presence in both the Roman Britain and the Roman army. It investigates the available Latin sources, which provide us with certain amount of information ...concerning Frisians’ role, significance and distribution during the period of the Roman ruling. Finally, the author tries, on the basis of the available resources, to draw some conclusions regarding the perception of Frisians by both Romans and Brits. All the analyzed materials are taken from the extensive database of the Roman Inscriptions that are to be found in Britain, which is an invaluable source of knowledge of the military tradition of the Roman Empire and the units serving on the Isles. The paper aims at showing the importance of Frisian participation in both Roman invasion and the Adventus Saxonum. It tries to shed a new light on the perception of not only Frisians but all the Germanic tribes.
A magnificent Roman bronze tondo, now in the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations, which displays an elderly male figure, was
excavated in the Ulus area of Ankara in 1947, and identified as a portrait ...of the Roman emperor Trajan. This article rejects this
identification and argues that this is a private portrait of a prominent citizen of Ancyra dating between c. AD 100 and 130. A
fragmentary inscription which contains a decree of the Association of Performing Artists dating to the reign of Hadrian (AD 117-138)
records that one of the benefactors of this association should be honoured with two gilded shield-mounted images, and it is argued
that the Ankara bronze tondo was one of these images. The subject of the inscribed decree, and therefore the person portrayed by the
tondo, was either a well-documented Ancyran cultural benefactor called Ulpius Aelius Pompeianus, or an anonymous contemporary
figure of the Hadrianic period.
En 1878 Villa-Amil y Castro publicó el primer catálogo impreso de los manuscritos procedentes del Colegio de San Ildefonso de la Universidad de Alcalá de Henares. Para su trabajo Villa-Amil dependió ...estrechamente de las catalogaciones efectuadas antes en 1745 y de nuevo en 1800. Recientemente, Paul Oskar Kristeller ha puesto su atención en los manuscritos humanistas de esta colección; la cual es esencial para el estudio del humanismo en la universidad hispana del Renacimiento temprano. Desde este punto de vista se hace necesaria una nueva catalogación de los manuscritos del Colegio de San Ildefonso. Por ejemplo, el volumen facticio MSS 133 contiene once manuscritos de mediados del siglo XV entre los cuales se conserva el único testimonio de una de las obras latinas de Alfonso de Palencia. El objeto de este trabajo es una descripción bibliográfica más detallada de estos once manuscritos encuadernados en UCM BH MSS 133. In 1878 Villa-Amil y Castro published the first printed catalogue of the manuscript collection of the old Colegio de San Ildefonso at the University of Alcalá de Henares. In his work Villa-Amil followed closely the catalogues produced earlier in 1745 and again in 1800. More recently, Paul Oskar Kristeller has focused his interest on the humanistic manuscripts of this collection, as this library becomes essential in the study of humanism in the hispanic universities during the early Renaissance. From this point of view it is necessary a closer examination to the manuscripts belonging to the old Colegio de San Ildefonso. For example, volume MSS 133 contains eleven manuscritpts from the mid 15th century among them a unique testimony of a Latin composition by Alfonso de Palencia. The object of this paper is a more detailed bibliographical description of these eleven manuscripts in UCM BH MSS 133.
