The author presents the results of a work in progress research, respectively a prosopography on the population attested in the Greek cities of the Black Sea and Propontis (Prosopographia Ponti ...Euxini), focusing in this case (based on the epigraphic sources) on the population of Byzantion. As such, the paper will focus on the epigraphically attested quantitative data on the population of Byzantion, and on the qualitative data, covering the period between the first epigraphic attestations and up to the 3rd century AD. The work includes a prosopographical catalogue with the epigraphically attested population.
Na ulomku luka oltarne ograde iz crkve sv. Martina u Lepurima kod Benkovca prepoznaje se ime hrvatskog kneza Branimira (879‒892). Iako tekstovno manjkavo, ime kneza grafijski vjerno reproducira ime s ...natpisa istog kneza iz Gornjeg Muća, datiranog 888. Otprije je utvrđeno da je oba reljefa izradila tzv. Benediktinska klesarska radionica iz vremena kneza Branimira, što osnažuje ovdje izneseni prijedlog čitanja. Branimirovom vladavinom datiran je gradbeni natpis opata Teodeberta iz iste crkve u Lepurima, objavljen prije desetak godina. Čitanje kneževa imena na još jednom natpisu iz Lepura dodatno precizira vrijeme izrade jednog od ansambla liturgijskih instalacija te crkve, ujedno otvarajući mogućnost da je ista klesarska radionica na obama lokalitetima izvela ne samo reljefe nego i natpisni tekst. To je osmi po redu epigrafički spomen kneza Branimira.
The discovery (or rediscovery) and the archaeological excavation of the medieval Muslim cemetery of Bilet (Tigray, Ethiopia) in 2018, made it possible to study for the first time in the northern ...highlands of Ethiopia, the funerary architecture and burial rites of a Muslim community prior to the 8th/14th century. The data collected in Bilet, important for the knowledge of Ethiopian Islam before the great conquests of the sixteenth century, can now be compared locally to the unpublished corpus of contemporary cemeteries identified in the vicinity of Arra, which delivered important epigraphic material but were not excavated. This first review of the four Medieval Tigrayan cemeteries invites us to consider them in a broader regional context, in Ethiopia but also beyond, in the whole of the Horn of Africa and on the shores of the Red Sea, an area with which the epitaphs of Bilet attest important contacts. This contribution offers preliminary reflections on the materiality of the Tigrayan cemeteries through its lapidary (selection of supports, work, engraving and implementation of inscribed stelae) and architectural aspects (location of the funerary spaces, forms and organisation of grave markers, integration of the stelae within the markers).
The author presents the results of a research on the population of Augusta Traiana. More precisely, it continues the larger collective project Romans 1 by 1, by collecting and interpreting the data ...for the above-mentioned Roman city. As such, the paper will focus on the epigraphically attested quantitative data on the population of Augusta Traiana, and on the qualitative data, covering the period between the first epigraphic attestations and up to the 3rd century AD. The work includes a prosopographical catalogue with the epigraphically attested population.
The paper provides a new reading of a mould-made inscription on the back of two clay statuettes found at the end of the 19th century in the Taranto necropolis of Contrada Santa Lucia and dated ...between the second half of the 1st c. BC and the beginning of the 1st c. AD. The technique of making the inscription, which was imprinted inside the mould after being scratched on the patrix, is not widespread in the Taranto area. The inscription, a Roman anthroponym written in Greek language (a signature), represents an element of complex interpretation, because it remains uncertain whether it is to be attributed to a coroplast or to a workshop owner.
In July-September 2022, during an abnormal drop in the water level of the Danube, near Izmail fortress at the bottom of the river, on a plot of 150-170×10-15 m at a depth of 1 to 1.5 m, local ...historians accidentally discovered three clusters of artifacts: fragments of marble tombstones, fragments of Ottoman ceramics, forged iron elements of rigging, as well as the remains of the hull of a small wooden sailboat and other finds (intact and fragmented cast iron cannonballs, bombs, and a flintlock pistol), which were more or less evenly scattered over the entire designated area.
The purpose of the research paper is to publish and analyze the most interesting and unique complex of artifacts found at the bottom of the river, namely intact and fragmented marble tombstones, both with and without epitaphs.
Scientific novelty. In the course of the research, conducted by the expedition of the Institute of Archeology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, it has become possible to expand significantly historical and archaeological knowledge about the history of the Izmail fortress during the late Ottoman period of its existence, mainly in the 18th – early 19th century.
Conclusions. Thanks to a rare natural phenomenon and the attentiveness of local historians, the collection of Ottoman tombstones from Izmail is augmented with 10 marble objects all at the same time, on which there are four epitaphs. Although only one of them is dated 1749, which, unfortunately, does not extend the chronology of the known epitaphs of 1719-1756, however, the objects contain other, previously unknown historical information. On two slabs, former military men of the Ottoman Porte are mentioned – the shahid and officer Ismail Aga and the nameless janissary of the 12th Orta. From the inscription on the first of them, we learned about Ismail Aga’s father – Emrullah Çelebi, who could have been a resident of Izmail and a teacher at a local educational institution. We should also mention the slab with the names of God, which could have been the amulet of the only preserved mosque in Izmail.
Les poèmes épigraphiques latins – les carmina epigraphica – occupent une place à part dans les études littéraires latines. Cette poésie inscrite sur la pierre des épitaphes, des dédicaces ou sur les ...murs pompéiens est de facto hors du livre, exposée. Cet article examine les processus de publication et de circulation des carmina dans leur contexte originel, puis dans leur réception depuis la fin de l’Antiquité qui les a fait passer de la pierre au livre. Ce faisant, il exploite la pragmatique qui caractérise le carmen latin, l’anthropologie de l’écriture et de la lecture et la critique littéraire moderne pour repenser, à travers les époques, les modalités de publication, le rôle de la fonction-auteur et aussi celui du lecteur. Le fait que les poèmes épigraphiques latins aient été transmis dans des livres, a profondément transformé leur sens et leur réception au sein d’un canon épigraphique, en marge du canon classique. L’historicisation correcte de ces éléments et des notions qu’ils recouvrent est déterminante dans la définition de ce qui fait littérature.
