The article deals with a Roman tombstone discovered in 2008 during the renovation of the façade of the church of St. Peter at Jezero near Trebnje, which mentioned two town magistrates of Celeia, ...Gaius Longinius Severinus, and his son, Longinius Avitus. The circumstances of the discovery are described, as are other worked Roman stones reused in the church wall, the history of the church, the method of presentation and conservation of the monuments, the results of the geological analysis of the stones, and the geophysical investigation of the site. The description of the monument is followed by a textual analysis and historical commentary. The list of town magistrates of Celeia, who were previously attested mostly on inscriptions from the southern part of the province of Noricum, has thus been supplemented for the first time with this newly found inscription from the province of Pannonia
Scholarly work devoted to the contribution of the Armenian language to the Romani lexicon has resulted in the discovery of about fifty loanwords of certain or possible Armenian origin. Some of these ...loanwords are widespread and generally well preserved in a number of Romani varieties. Some loanwords, however, have been found only in few Romani dialects, or even just in one. As has been already shown in the case of Greek loanwords, Southern Italian Romani, a very conservative and relatively under-explored macro-dialect, sometimes preserves early loanwords which in the other Romani varieties have been replaced as a result of contact with other European languages. Dolenjska Romani, too, features some very conservative lexical items, alongside many innovations of Slavic origin. Both Southern Italian Romani and Dolenjska Romani are considered peripheral dialects representing relic areas in the framework of the European Romani. Accordingly, it is possible to posit an Armenian origin for the adverb of Southern Italian Romani válë ‘early, soon, quickly’ and of Dolenjska Romani vále ‘at once’. The article discusses this hypothesis from a phonetic and a semantic point of view, with an emphasis on the historical phonetics of Romani and Armenian.
Sondažna izkopavanja na Gradcu pri Blečjem Vrhu so razkrila, da je bila vzpetina poseljena v več prazgodovinskih obdobjih. Najstarejše najdbe so ali s konca mlajše kamene dobe ali iz bakrene dobe, ko ...je bilo naselje verjetno prvič utrjeno s kamnitim obzidjem. V času horizonta certoških fibul je na ruševinah prvega obzidja zraslo novo obzidje. Debele plasti z železovo žlindro pričajo, da je bil Gradec v tem času pomembno železarsko središče. Nato življenje na Gradcu za nekaj časa zamre. Ponovno je bil obljuden v starejšem delu poznega latena (stopnja Mokronog IIIa). Tudi takrat je bil gospodarski temelj predelava železove rude. Številni odlomki finega posodja in amfora za vino govorijo za relativno blagostanje poznolatenskih prebivalcev Gradca.
The first volume in the Slovenski pravljičarji (Slovene Storytellers) collection of monographs contains tales recounted by Anton Dremelj-Resnik from Petrušnja Vas in Dolenjska. The esteemed ...academician Milko Matičetov has pronounced Resnik the best storyteller he has encountered during his field trips in various Slovene regions prior to his research work in Resia. The material in this book encompasses a rich palette of genres from short humorous folk tales, legends, historic tales, and anecdotes to the epically evolved animal tales and tales of magic. The book is prefaced with an extensive study, written by Anja Štefan, titled O pripovedovalcu, zbiranju in objavi njegovih pripovedi (On the Storyteller and on Collecting and Publishing His Folktales). In order to be understandable for every reader, the narratives have been set on paper in a consistently simplified dialectological system of the language spoken in the region of Dolenjska.
