This paper will examine the claims of the excudent alii (‘others will hammer out’) priamel of Aeneid 6.847–53 within the immediate context of the parade's end, where Marcellus, parading the spolia ...opima, is used to exemplify the claims made about fine and speculative arts belonging to the Greeks, and war and the arts of empire to the Romans. It will be shown that certain, highly specific memories of the elder Marcellus are cued by the priamel that run directly counter to Anchises’ claims. The paper will look at how these claims are spoken in character, and driven by specific narrative motives, and it will relate the mismatch of exemplified to exemplifier to certain larger patterns within the Aeneid of things being left unsaid only to stand out all the more by being left unsaid. The paper concludes with a speculative essay on the necessary reductions and revisions that go into the making, and reading, of culturally instrumentalized monuments.
To date, Rome's intervention to the West from the mid-second century BC has not really been looked at with any sense of overview. Instead, there has been an unconnected series of micro-regional ...studies looking at particular areas, from the river Ebro in Spain round to Italy on the land front, and from the Balearic Islands to Corsica, Sardinia and even Sicily as regards the seaborne aspect. In contrast, the aim of this volume is to push the historical and archaeological debates about Rome's expansion beyond these traditional geographical boundaries and the discipline-based previous research. The entire north-western Mediterranean is treated as a micro-region and is addressed using various interdisciplinary approaches. The result is to provide an innovative and comprehensive overview of the north-western Mediterranean in a period of historical crossroads, aided particularly by focusing on the connectivity and integration within this region as two interrelated issues. While Republican Rome enforced itself as an expansive power towards the West, all sorts of polities, military operations and individuals also played a significant role in creating interconnectivity and integration of the north-western Mediterranean into a new hybrid reality. In order to uncover such processes of hybridisation, contributors to this volume were encouraged to focus on the historical, archaeological and numismatic material from several areas within the region, and to incorporate aspects of interdisciplinary methodologies in order to address the region's military, political, social and economic interconnections with Italy, Rome and each other within the overall period.

The Cape of Shabla, located 6 km east of the town with the same name, has a very rich archaeological history of some 2,500 years. The research in this area started quite early, in the late 19th ...century, and became more intense in the second half of the 20th century. In the last two years, Bulgarian archaeologists were joined by a group of Hungarian colleagues and established fruitful cooperation.
In 2017, two Roman bridges over the Drava river were discovered in the municipality of Rosegg (Rožek)/Emmersdorf in Carinthia (Austria). Although the existence of a bridge had been known for a long ...time it could only be identified as definitely Roman after further investigations. In addition, parts of Roman grave monuments and small finds, especially Celtic and Roman coins, have been found at the site within several years.The coin finds are particularly important as witness for the passage and use of the bridges, as they not only provide a chronological framework for the crossing of the Drava river at this point, but they also offer cultural and socio-historical information. According to this, the coins found in the area of the ancient bridges can be interpreted as sacrifices for a safe river crossing. This custom began as early as the late Latène period and was maintained until late Roman times.
This article analyzes one way to make a theoretical sense of the essence of the Roman civic ethics, a constant element of the political struggle in the Roman Republic. Notably, the axiological ...approach, which is an important methodological tool due to the specifics of the Roman political practice, has not been used in historiography to its fullest potential due to lack of conceptualization. This is reflected in historiographical studies: most researchers unanimously emphasize the essential role of the Roman virtues (virtutes) in the Roman political culture. The analysis of the historiographical works showed that philological methods are traditionally used to study the Roman virtues, which serve as a key to answering numerous questions related to the ideas of the Romans. The results obtained revealed that these tools are not sufficient themselves due to the discrepancy between the Roman reality and political rhetoric, in the context of which the virtues are identified. Differences were found between Russian and foreign historiography in the approaches to the analysis of the concepts related to the one under consideration here. The vast potential of using the axiological approach to study the Roman history was outlined. Earlier attempts to get the most of it were critically assessed. To advance the achievements that have been made, the concept of value was clarified and defined in terms of the Roman political context.

Abstract
Portraits of the Roman emperors have been a focal point in the study of the ancient world. However, questions on how this medium developed over time and/or how perceptions of the emperor ...changed over more than four centuries of imperial rule, are constrained by the availability and accessibility of the material. This article introduces the Roman Imperial Portraits Dataset (ripd) to allow researchers to study the portraiture of Roman emperors through a more quantitative approach (Heijnen & Hekster, 2021). The dataset has systematically brought together more than 2,100 extant (i.e. published) portraits of the Roman emperors into a single dataset that can be used for further study. The article also introduces a web application with the aim to allow researchers and interested parties to work with the data(set) in an user-friendly manner.
This paper is concerned with the concept of modern Roman domination in graphs. A Modern Roman dominating function on a graph is labeling such that every vertex with label 0 is adjacent to two ...vertices; one of them of label 2 and the other of label 3 and every vertex with label 1 is adjacent to a vertex with label 2 or label 3. The weight of a Roman dominating function is the value . The minimum weight of all possible Roman dominating functions is called the "Roman Domination Number" of a graph. This dominance can be used in many aspects of life, for example in computer networks, transmission lines, and many others. In this paper, the modern Roman domination of the fan graph and the double fan graph with their complement are determined. Also, it has been determined the the number of modern Roman dominations of the corona of two specific graphs like the corone of two fan graph, two double fan graph ,fan graph and double fan graph and the oppisit of them.

This article furthers recent gains made in applying globalization perspectives to the Roman world by exploring
two Romano-Egyptian houses that used Roman material culture in different ways within the ...city known
as Trimithis (modern day Amheida, in Egypt). In so doing, I suggest that concepts drawn from globalization
theory will help us to disentangle and interpret how homogeneous Roman Mediterranean goods may appear
heterogeneous on the local level. This theoretical vantage is broadly applicable to other regions in the Roman
Mediterranean, as well as other environments in which individuals reflected a multifaceted relationship
with their local identity and the broader social milieu.
Cet ouvrage comble une lacune historiographique et présente une nouvelle approche de l'impérialisme romain à l'époque républicaine en s'interrogeant sur la place qu'occupent les déplacements de ...communautés organisés par Rome dans la construction de son hégémonie en Italie et dans la péninsule ibérique. L'enquête confronte de manière critique les témoignages textuels aux réalités archéologiques afin d'établir un inventaire raisonné des déplacements, classés en deux categories : les déplacements de communautés à l'intérieur de leur propre territoire (deducti) et les déplacements de communautés en dehors de leur territoire (traducti). Elle met aussi en lumière le rôle des déplacements de communautés en tant que double instrument de déracinement et d'intégration au service de Rome dans sa gestion des conflits, à travers une analyse comparative de la manière dont les déplacements sont présentés par les auteurs gréco-latins, du contexte et des conditions dans lesquelles ils eurent lieu, des objectifs visés par les Romains et des conséquences pour les communautés déplacées.
