The Roman military diploma from Podgrađe (Asseria)

59 Mato Ilkić HR, 23000 Zadar Sveučilište u Zadru Odjel za arheologiju Obala kralja Petra Krešimira IV, br. 2 [email protected] UDK: 930.271 (497.5 Benkovac) “01“ Izvorni znanstveni članak Primljeno: 9. 3. 2009. Prihvaćeno: 2. 4. 2009. U ovome radu autor donosi podatke o dosad nepoznatoj rimskoj vojnoj diplomi koja je nedavno slučajno nađena na području Asserije, bogatom arheološkom lokalitetu uz mjesto Podgrađe nedaleko od Benkovca. Riječ je o dosta rijetkom epigrafskom nalazu pravnoga karaktera, tj. tek četvrtom natpisu takve vrste s hrvatske obale Jadrana. Aserijatska vojna diploma, premda necjelovito sačuvana, donosi niz vrijednih podataka, osobito važnih za bolje poznavanje rimske vojne povijesti. Izdana je u vrijeme vladavine cara Hadrijana, i to kada je on deseti put obnašao tribunsku čast, što omogućuje datiranje aserijatske isprave u godinu 125./126. Nakon carevoga imena s titulaturom, u toj rimskoj vojnoj diplomi slijedi popis augzilijarnih postrojbi čiji su časno otpušteni vojnici dobili rimsko građansko pravo. Prvo su navedene dvije ale. Slijedi niz od pet kohorti. Potom je ponovno navedena jedna pomoćna konjanička formacija, i to vexillatio equitum Illyricorum/Illyricianis. Zatim slijede podatci o njihovu području službovanja. Riječ je o Donjoj Daciji, rimskoj provinciji čiji je upravitelj tada bio Cocceius Naso. O njemu se malo zna. Kao prokurator u toj rimskoj provinciji poznat je tek odnedavno, i to zahvaljujući diplomama koje su izdane nekoliko godina prije aserijatske. Nažalost, u njoj nisu sačuvani, među inim, i podatci o primatelju vojne diplome. No autor na kraju članka pretpostavlja da je njezin vlasnik možda bio upravo jedan od veterana iz veksilacije iliričkih konjanika. Naime, diploma potječe iz Asserije, liburnskoga grada koji je bio smješten na iliričkome području, prostoru odakle su i bili unovačeni konjanici za tu rimsku vojnu formaciju.This paper contains data on a heretofore unknown Roman military diploma which was recently discovered by chance in the area of Asseria, a rich archaeological site next to the village of Podgrađe near the town of Benkovac. This is a rather rare epigraphic find with a legal character, i.e. only the fourth inscription of this type from the Croatian coast of the Adriatic Sea. The Asserian military diploma, although not preserved in its entirety, carries a wealth of valuable data, particularly important to a better understanding of Roman military history. It was issued during the reign of Emperor Hadrian, at the time he held the post of tribune for the tenth time, which makes it possible to date the Asserian document to 125/126. The emperor’s name with titular on this Roman military diploma is followed by a list of auxiliary units whose honourably discharged soldiers were granted Roman citizenship rights. First two alae are mentioned. This is followed by a series of five cohorts. Then an auxiliary cavalry formation is once more mentioned, the vexillatio equitum Illyricorum/Illyricianis. Data on their region of service follow. This is Dacia Inferior, a Roman province at the time administered by Cocceius Naso. Little is known of him. As a procurator in this Roman province, he became known only recently, thanks to diplomas issued several years prior to this example found in Asseria. Unfortunately, data on the person receiving the military diploma, among other things, have not been preserved. Even so, at the end of the article, the author posits that its owner may in fact have been a veteran of the Illyrian cavalry vexillation. The diploma is originally from Asseria, a Liburnian town which was situated in Illyrian territory, an area whence cavalry troops for this Roman military formation were recruited

For a Discussion About Epigraphic Evidence of the Activities of Byzantium in the Mountainous Crimea in the 6th Century

Introduction. In the basilicas discovered on the Mangup plateau (fig. 3), in the Karalez valley (fig. 1) that begins at its foot and on Eski-Kermen (fig. 2, 1), inscriptions were found, the interpretation and dating of which caused many years of discussion. Some scientists considered them as evidence of the activities of the Eastern Roman Empire in the region in the 6th century, while other specialists doubted both such an interpretation of the inscriptions and their dating. Methods. To substantiate the chronology of the mentioned inscriptions, it is important to consider the formulas and linguistic features contained in them, as well as the stratigraphy recorded during the excavation of temples and the revealed dated closed ceramics complexes. Analysis. The text of the inscription with the name of Justinian I is correlated with the information of Procopius about the construction of the “Long Walls” in the Dory region at the behest of the emperor. Most likely, the inscription reported the construction of one of the “Long Walls” in the Karalez valley at the foot of Doros. It is possible that the stone (fig. 1) with the typical Byzantine graffiti with the formulas ΦΩС ΖΩΗ and κ(ύρι)ε βοήθ(ει...) was inserted into a wall of an apse of the basilica right after its construction in the Karalez valley in the second half of the 6th century. On a stone over the graffiti ΦΩС ΖΩΗ letters of the second graffiti “Ἰς νικᾷ” are cut out which means Ἰ(ησοῦ)ς (Χριστὸς) νικᾷ – “Jesus Christ wins”. In Byzantium the images of a cross with the formula IC XC NI ΚΑ (Ἰ(ησοῦ)C Χ(ριστὸ)C Ν(ικ)Α) appeared at the iconoclast emperor Leo III (717–741) and were distributed in later time. Results. Undisputed evidence of Byzantium’s activity in the region in the 6th century is only the fragment of a plate with a building inscription that means the emperor Justinian I found in a late slab grave at the basilica on Mangup. According to the stratigraphy, revealed in 1938 during the excavations of the Baptistry on Mangup, the graffiti (fig. 3) that caused a long discussion was carved on the back of the cornice in the second construction period not earlier than in the 9th century

11th–12th century old russian glagolitic graffiti inscriptions from Novgorod, No 23–28

Статья вводит в научный оборот несколько глаголических надписей-граффити середины XI – XII века. Публикуемые надписи были выполнены на стенах Новгородского Софийского собора и Георгиевского собора Юрьева монастыря под Новгородом, а также на обломке кости, обнаруженном на Троицком раскопе в Новгороде. Особенный интерес представляют надпись Стръи писалъ слѣпъи ‘Строй писал слепой’ из Софийского собора и глаголические буквы на кости с Троицкого раскопа, выделяющиеся архаичным начертанием. Статья содержит (1) каталог надписей с фотографиями, прорисями и краткими комментариями, (2) палеографическое исследование и (3) поправки и дополнения к ранее опубликованным новгородским глаголическим надписям.The paper offers a publication of graffi ti inscriptions from the walls of the St. Sophia Cathedral in Novgorod and from St. George’s Cathedral of the Yuriev Monastery near Novgorod, as well as on a bone fragment, that was discovered at the Troitski excavation site in Novgorod. The inscription from the St. Sophia reading Strъi pisalъ slěpъi ‘Blind Stroy wrote [this]’ and the bone fragment from the Troitski site inscribed with archaic Glagolitic characters are of particular interest. The paper contains (1) a catalogue of the inscriptions with photos, tracings and brief comments; (2) a paleographic study of the inscriptions; (3) additions, edits, and corrections to previously published Glagolitic inscriptions from Novgorod

Glagoljski natpis u Konavlima

Ovaj natpis posebno je važan jer je riječ o prvom pronađenom glagoljskom natpisu istočno od linije Trogir-Bihać. Po svoj prilici on potvrđuje tezu da je osim sjevernoga puta kojim je glagoljica dolazila u Hrvatsku iz Moravske, postojao i njezin južni put iz Bugarske i Makedonije, pa preko Hercegovine i dubrovačkog područja, prema našim sjevernim krajevima, prema Krku i dalje sve do Svetoga Petra u Šumi, u Istri. Ovim putem uz glagoljicu je u Hrvatsku istodobno dolazila i ćirilica, što potvrđuje i nekoliko ćiriličkih slova na natpisu. Na nešto mlađim, ćiriličkim natpisima ispred crkve Svetog Đurđa u Popovićima, u Konavlima,5 nalaze se i dva glagoljska slova što potvrđuje gornju tezu, ali i dokazuje da je ćirilica na ovim prostorima istisnula glagoljicu već tijekom 13. stoljeća, za raške dominacije
