In the preface to his Strategikos, Onasander identifies the potential readership of his work, besides the addressee Quintus Veranius (cos. 49 CE) : the senators and ταῖς τε ὑπάτοις καὶ στρατηγικαῖς ...ἐξουσίαις κοσμουμένοις (pref. 1). These words are usually understood as a generic reference “ to those who are rewarded by the authority of consul and general”. Actually, some philological and historical clues reveal that Onasander is more concerned with the Roman administrative lexicon than we would expect. Indeed, Onasander’s addressees were probably senators, and specifically consuls and magistrates cum imperio.
Nel proemio dello Strategikos, dedicato al consolare Quinto Veranio (cos. 49 d. C.), Onasandro definisce gli altri potenziali destinatari dell’opera : i senatori e ταῖς τε ὑπάτοις καὶ στρατηγικαῖς ἐξουσίαις κοσμουμένοις (proe. 1). Il passo è solitamente inteso come un’allusione generica “ a coloro che sono stati insigniti dell’autorità di console e di generale” ; in realtà, una serie di indizi di carattere sia filologico che storico rivela come Onasandro sia più sensibile alla terminologia amministrativa romana di quanto non si sia voluto ammettere. Di fatto, i destinatari di Onasandro sarebbero i senatori e, più specificamente, i consoli e i magistrati cum imperio.
Dans le proême du Strategikos, dédié au consul Quintus Veranius (cos. 49 apr. J.-C.), Onasandre définit les autres destinataires potentiels de l’ouvrage : les sénateurs et ταῖς τε ὑπάτοις καὶ στρατηγικαῖς ἐξουσίαις κοσμουμένοις (proême 1). Le passage est généralement interprété comme une allusion générique «à ceux qui ont été investis de l’autorité de consul et de général » ; en fait, un certain nombre d’indices philologiques et historiques révèlent qu’Onasandre est plus sensible à la terminologie administrative romaine qu’on a bien voulu l’admettre. En effet, les destinataires d’Onasandre seraient les sénateurs et, plus précisément, les consuls et les magistrats cum imperio.

Anche nell'ultimo anno si sono moltiplicati i segnali di scomposizione del mondo politico, economico e istituzionale concepito alla fine della Seconda guerra mondiale e definitivamente liberato dalla ...fine della guerra fredda. Intanto, l'avvento di Donald Trump alla presidenza degli Stati Uniti ha introdotto un'inedita tensione tra gli Usa e l'ordine internazionale da loro stessi prodotto. Più in generale, la crescita della Cina e la rinnovata assertività della Russia sembrano preludere a una nuova fase del riflusso dell'impatto occidentale sul resto del Mondo. Soprattutto, una variegata contestazione di legittimità ha investito lo stesso orientamento liberale dell'ordine post-bipolare, con conseguenze sempre più profonde sulla tenuta del tessuto multilaterale della convivenza internazionale, delle organizzazioni internazionali e persino dell'assetto istituzionale dei singoli stati.
Il Rapporto ISPI 2019 s'interroga su questo sconvolgimento, tanto nella dimensione politica quanto in quella economica. La prima parte del volume è dedicata al contesto globale e ai suoi contraccolpi sull'Europa, mentre la seconda si rivolge come di consueto alla politica estera italiana. Testo dell'editore
The Instituto Superior del Profesorado “Joaquín V. González” is a state teacher training institution, located in the City of Buenos Aires. In spite of its symbolic value and of the large number of ...students, the institution represented a rather secondary target for the repression executed by the last Argentinian military dictatorship. If we take into account the national educational community was one of the most attacked by the state terrorism, the experience of the Profesorado turns out to be remarkable. This article goes through the bibliography written about it and provides new elements to analyse the problem: the institutional identity of the Profesorado and the social representations related to being a teacher in Argentina.
The Magazzini Generali, created on the model of the British docks and of the French magasins generaux--and regulated by an Act of 1871--became widespread in major Italian cities, with varying ...success: common purpose was to provide for the custody of the goods, issuing special bonds trade, and to facilitate the meeting between producer and buyer, reducing the time of negotiation.
This paper shows how the geometry of one of Robert Maillart's most intriguing projects, the Chiasso Shed, was created using graphics. Originating in the sixteenth century, graphic vectorial ...equilibrium has been used for studying a wide variety of structural problems. Among other things, it allows a form to be adjusted so that it only encounters axial loads while guaranteeing equilibrium. Here, we see that the general appearance of the structure was determined with reference to a uniformly distributed load, and then concrete was placed along force trajectories. Maillart allowed for some geometric inaccuracies remaining with regard to the way he designed asymmetric loadings to be supported by stiffening members. In so doing, emphasis is placed on efficient axial forces, similar to our modern strut-and-tie approach, in the design of concrete structures.
From antiquity until now, most writers who have chronicled the events following the death of Alexander the Great have viewed this history through the careers, ambitions, and perspectives of ...Alexander's elite successors. Few historians have probed the experiences and attitudes of the ordinary soldiers who followed Alexander on his campaigns and who were divided among his successors as they fought for control of his empire after his death. Yet the veterans played an important role in helping to shape the character and contours of the Hellenistic world.
This pathfinding book offers the first in-depth investigation of the Macedonian veterans' experience during a crucial turning point in Greek history (323-316 BCE). Joseph Roisman discusses the military, social, and political circumstances that shaped the history of Alexander's veterans, giving special attention to issues such as the soldiers' conduct on and off the battlefield, the army assemblies, the volatile relationship between the troops and their generals, and other related themes, all from the perspective of the rank-and-file. Roisman also reexamines the biases of the ancient sources and how they affected ancient and modern depictions of Alexander's veterans, as well as Alexander's conflicts with his army, the veterans' motives and goals, and their political contributions to Hellenistic history. He pays special attention to the Silver Shields, a group of Macedonian veterans famous for their invincibility and martial prowess, and assesses whether or not they deserved their formidable reputation.
