Palestina, za kršćane Sveta zemlja, oduvijek je zbog svojeduhovne i profane povijesti privlačila znatiželju i pobuđivala različiteosjećaje. Na znatiželji i duhovnosti nastao je i ovaj rad, koji ...jepodijeljen u tri poglavlja. U prvome, koji je naslovljen Helenističkoi Makabejsko razdoblje, autor govori o vladavini dviju helenističkihdinastija (egipatske Ptolomejevića i sirijske Seleukovića) u Palestini,s jedne, te o židovskoj borbi za samostalnost pod vodstvomsvećenika Matatije i njegovih sinova, s druge strane. U drugompoglavlju naslov kojega je Rimska dominacija u Palestini, autoru relativnim podnaslovima obrađuje rimsko osvajanje Palestine iupravu nad njom, bilo da je riječ o rimskim namjesnicima (prefektimaili prokuratorima) ili Herodovskoj kraljevskoj dinastiji, koja jevladala Palestinom kao rimsko savezničko kraljevstvo. U trećempoglavlju, naslovljenom Prvi židovski rat (66. – 70.), autor se baviuzrocima židovske pobune protiv rimske vlasti te njezinu gušenju,u kojemu su rimske legije pod Titovim zapovjedništvom do temeljasravnile Jeruzalem, a jeruzalemski Hram, srce i ponos židovstva,pretvorile u prah i pepeo. Završetak rimskih ratnih operacija dramatičnoje završio padom tvrđave Masade (73. godine). Na krajurada autor se dotaknuo i kršćana, koji nisu sudjelovali u tom ratu,kao i reorganizacije židovstva poslije nestanka Hrama. Na krajudonosi i Kronologiju bitnih događaja.
Palestine, or the Holy Land for Christians, has alwaysattracted curiosity and aroused different feelings because of itsspiritual and profane history, which is the theme of this work,divided into three parts. The first part deals with the Hellenisticand Maccabean Periods, specifically the rules of two Hellenisticdynasties (the Egyptian Ptolemy and the Syrian Seleucid) inPalestine and the Jewish struggle for independence, led by thepriest Mattathias and his sons. The second part, entitled “Palestineunder Roman Rule”, elaborates on the Roman conquestand control of Palestine, whether by the Roman governors (prefectsor procurators) or the Herodian royal dynasty, which ruledover Palestine as a Roman ally. The third part, entitled “The FirstJewish War (66-70)”, deals with the causes of the Jewish revoltagainst Roman rule and its suppression, in which Roman legionsunder Tito’s command destroyed Jerusalem, and the JerusalemTemple, the heart and pride of Judaism, turned to dust andashes. Roman war operations ended dramatically with the siegeof the Masada fortress and its fall in 73. The final part toucheson Christians who did not fight in the war, the reconstructionof Judaism after the Temple’s destruction and a chronology ofimportant events.
Greeks, Etruscans and Romans played extremely important role in the development of the later European civilization. They lived together on Apennine Peninsula for about 1,200 years. Greeks were ...foreigners that colonized southern Italy. Etruscans were either colonists or autochthonous people, although, the question of their origin is still being discussed among scholars. Romans sprung from Latium, central Italy. During their common history Romans spread their rule wider than the Mediterranean, covering the area from British islands to Persia, and from Carpathian Alps to the African deserts. The history and culture of Greeks, Etruscans, and Romans were deeply interwoven, although the ethnic compositions and languages were completely different. Greek and Latin language became elementary for European culture, while Etruscan language, except for a certain bulk of onomastic treasure, is almost unknown. Thus, in spite of long and great scholarly efforts, the origin and character of Etruscan civilisation is vaguely known. However, what is known of Etruscan culture is vital and exist ever still. Thus, from our contemporary position, studying these nations is still worth of our time.
The book discusses the minor settlements that dotted the territory of present-day Slovenia in the Roman period. This geographically diverse territory was crossed by important lines of communication ...and divided between three large administrative units of the Roman state: Italy and the provinces of Noricum and Upper Pannonia. Twenty-six authors wrote contributions on individual settlements in a comprehensive and clear manner roughly following a common concept. The presentation of each settlement opens with its location and name in Antiquity, possible habitation traces from prehistory, mentions in ancient literary texts and documents, and recovered epigraphic evidence. The next, main part offers an overview of the archaeological remains from the Roman period: topography, infrastructure, buildings, cemeteries and portable remains of particular significance. This is followed by the information on the status of a settlement, social standing of its inhabitants, their administrative or military functions, as well as professional or ethnical background. All is brought together in an outline of the historical development of each settlement.
Ujedinitelj ilirskih zemalja kralj Agron umro je 231. godine pr. Kr., a naslijedila ga je njegova supruga Teuta. Oko kraljice Teute narod je kroz minula vremena ispleo predaje koje se pripovijedaju i ...u naše vrijeme. O Teuti se pripovijeda kao najljepšoj kraljici koja je bila kći ljekaruše iz Narone. Prema predajama Teuta je stolovala na Šolti, u Dolu na Hvaru, Svecu (nekadašnji otok Sv. Andrija) kod Visa, Jezeru kod Jajca, Borku kod Širokoga Brijega i Risnu u Boki Kotorskoj. Vrlo brzo je došla u sukob s Rimljanima koji su je porazili. Ilirski vojni zapovjednik Demetrije Hvaranin otkazao je poslušnost Teuti i priklonio se Rimljanima. Prema predajama na Visu Teuta je, ne mogavši gledati kako Rimljani pustoše njezino kraljevstvo, skončala na Svecu bacivši se iz svoje utvrde. U bokokotorskom i drugim krajevima u Crnoj Gori pripovijeda se da je Teuta skončala bacivši se sa stijene iznad Risna. U radu se navodi i interpretira četrdesetak povijesnih i etioloških predaja koje su zapisivane od 2001. do 2017. godine. Te predaje izvorno su zabilježene u Hrvatskoj, Bosni i Hercegovini i Crnoj Gori.
“The Disappearing Tombstone and Other Stories from Emona” is a collection of ten stories about real people, who once lived in Emona or the surrounding countryside. These stories shed light on the ...everyday lives and often highly unusual fates of these people. The eleventh story reveals why the Romans believed that Emona had been founded by Jason and his Argonauts. The myth would lead later historians to believe that Emona was older than Rome.The stories are based on the inscriptions from Roman funerary and other monuments, which are kept the lapidarium of the National Museum of Slovenia and in the City Museum of Ljubljana (MGML). The booklet is partly a result of the EAGLE project (“Europeana Network of Ancient Greek and Latin Epigraphy”) and partly of the programme “Archaeological Investigations” of the Institute of Archaeology ZRC SAZU.
The results of the international collaboration of the three institutions from Austria, Italy and Slovenia (Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt, Università degli studi di Udine and ...Znanstvenoraziskovalni center SAZU, Inštitut za arheologijo of Ljubljana) are being published in the Studia Alpium et Adriae series.New discoveries and the re-examination of old ones is offering new insights into the Roman army and the historical questions related to its presence and activity in the regions of the northern Adriatic and the eastern Alps. The first volume of Studia Alpium et Adriae contains the contributions of twenty-one authors from four countries (Italy, Slovenia, Croatia and Austria) who present the results of their work conducted in recent years within different research groups and projects.
