Abstract
For centuries, the remote site of Bāyir, far to the east in southeast Jordan, in an arid environment, was frequented by nomads watering their herds, thanks to its huge wells. Four Latin ...graffiti from Bāyir area are published or revised and republished here. They provide new evidence of the visits paid to the place by troops from the Roman army.
L’articolo presenta alcune iscrizioni latine provenienti da Ostia e avvistate sui siti web e nei cataloghi di alcune prestigiose case d’asta e gallerie d’arte internazionali. Si tratta per la maggior ...parte di testi già noti alla bibliografia di riferimento e di cui si erano perse le tracce, ma non mancano anche pezzi inediti di significativo valore storico-documentario, come l’urna di Aulus Egrilius Malius Pulcher, edile e pretore del culto di Vulcano non ancora censito, o il coperchio del sarcofago di Lucius Florius Florentinus, eques Romanus ugualmente ignoto.
Falsificazioni umanistiche in aree periferiche: un caso dal Veneto La ricerca esamina un gruppo di falsi epigrafici in lingua latina, trasmessi in forma manoscritta e attribuiti alla città di ...Arzignano, Vicenza. Si tratta di testi costruiti sull’onomastica di iscrizioni genuine e ispirati da rinvenimenti archeologici locali. L’indagine rivela che questi falsi epigrafici ebbero un ruolo significativo nella costruzione della memoria collettiva di alcuni luoghi del territorio vicentino. In particolare, i testi contribuirono alla costruzione di leggende popolari legate all’esistenza di un’arce del dio Giano ad Arzignano, finalizzata a dar lustro alle origini del paese tra il XIV e il XVI secolo. Infine, l’analisi testuale suggerisce che la diffusione e la conoscenza dei testi classici in età umanistica nella provincia di Vicenza fu notevole, anche grazie al lavoro dei maestri di grammatica, probabili autori di questi falsi. Humanistic forgeries in peripheral areas: a case from Veneto This work examines a group of fake Latin inscriptions, recorded by the manuscript tradition, allegedly found in Arzignano, Vicenza, northeastern Italy. These texts were written using names found in genuine inscriptions and were also inspired by local archaeological findings. These inscriptions played a significant role in the making of the collective memory of some places in the Vicenza region. Some of these fakes were used to make up local legends linked to the existence of a fort of the god Janus at Arzignano, which aimed at dignifying the origins of this town, between the XIV and XVI centuries. The textual analysis suggests that the knowledge of the classics in the province of Vicenza, during the age of Humanism, was remarkable, thanks also to the work of grammar teachers, who might have been behind these forgeries.

En Elegías de varones ilustres de Indias se cuentan veintidós inscripciones escritas en latín de autoría dudosa, ya sean algunas del propio Castellanos u otras transmitidas por él. Castellanos ...presenta estos epigramas breves, inscritos originariamente tanto en soporte duro –losas– como en soporte orgánico –corteza de árboles– que buscan hacer perdurar la memoria de hombres y de una mujer valientes que tuvieron una muerte trágica.
En este artículo se propone una aproximación a los epigramas de las Elegías de varones ilustres de Indias de Juan de Castellanos.
In Elegies of Illustrious Men of the Indies there are twenty-two inscriptions written in Latin of doubtful authorship, some may be by Castellanos himself or by others transmitted by him. Castellanos presents a written transmission of these short epigrams, originally inscribed both on hard support –slabs- and on organic support –tree bark-, which are intended to make the memory of brave men and women who died a tragic death endure.
This article proposes an approach to the epigrams of the Elegies of Illustrious Men of the Indies by Juan de Castellanos.
When Augustus died, the imperial cults were wide spread all over the Mediterranean. Considering that point, it is important to recall how the divine and divinizing words were produced to the ...princpeps and the imperial family, and, if these words can be seen as a sincere expression of divinity (even in life) or just a mere adulation form. This is an interpretative study of some Greek and Latin inscriptions, that seeks to establish various elements that make some differences and bring new suggestions to the concept of imperial cults because this religious manifestation was not the only one form of cult with continuations and additions. In fact, it had some marked differences that the evidences could demonstrate with the other ruler-cult forms. The importance of words is unique: they can show literally and figurative the expressions of one person and some individuals. In this point it is important to note that inscriptions can even be exaggerating individuals’ rhetoric and it cannot be forgotten the language-game as Wittgenstein pointed out. Furthermore, the geographical locations and the cultural manifestations are important to note because depending the place, usually it can be found more or less powerful words to the imperial cult. Using the religious and political epigraphical monuments and the literature of the period some ideas can be tracked about the titulature of the imperial cult and the problems that still arise. Keywords: Imperial Cults, Divinity of Roman Emperors, Greek Inscriptions, Latin Inscriptions, Interpretations.
