Interações Culturais e Paisagens em Mudança na Europa (séc. 2º a.C. / séc. 2º d.C.)

In this work we present the contributions of the researchers from various European countries, who met in Boticas at the International Symposium "Cultural Interactions and Landscapes in Change in Europe (2nd and 2nd centuries BC)" took place on 11 and 13 October 2018. Diverse themes and geographical areas are discussed, taking stock of the research carried out on the contexts dating back to the end of the Iron Age and the beginning of Roman times, thus contributing to an updated global reading of this chronological period.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

The Economy of Dürrnberg-Bei-Hallein: An Iron Age Salt-mining Centre in the Austrian Alps

For the first time in English, we present a summary of the international programme of excavation work carried out between 1990 and 2001 in and around the Iron Age salt-mining complex of the Diirrnberg region, south of Salzburg. First we describe the results of excavation in the prehistoric adits, and of work to locate and survey associated settlements. This is followed by a series of specialist reports embracing floral and faunal remains, palaeodiet and parasitology, leather and woodworking and other crafts. The evidence suggests that a complex inter-relationship existed between the Diirrnberg and other communities in the Alpine foreland. It is assumed that the Diirrnberg was under the control of an elite - perhaps a local dynasty whose wealth is reflected in the grave

Coins from Thracian and Lower Moesian Mints from the Viminacium Necroplis of Pećine

During the extensive archaeological rescue excavations of the southern necropoles at Viminacium, at one of them, Pećine, 17 coins were found from provincial issues of Thracian mints, issued by eight mints, and two pieces from Moesia Inferior, originating from one mint. Out of a total of 19 pieces, 11 were found in graves, and the others in the layers of the necropoli

Ein Beispiel der späteisenzeitlichen Orlea-Maglavit Fibel aus der Imre Pongrácz Sammlung

Imre Pongrácz (1849-1903) war Major bei der Honvèd Infanetrie und Militärkommandant des Orșova Hafens. Während seines Lebens sammelte er über 6000 Antiquitäten, die überwiegend vom rechten Donau-Ufer, aus heutigem Serbien, stammen und von den sog. “Schatzjägern” gesammelt wurden. Immerhin fehlt für die meisten Objekte aus der Sammlung eine Fundplatzbestimmung. Ein bedeutender Bestandteil der Sammlung schließt unterschiedliche Fibeln mit ein, darunter auch etwa achtzig späteisenzeitlicher Fibeln. Die hier präsentierte Fibel gehört dem sog. “Orlea-Maglavit” Typ, der während der Späteisenzeit in Gebieten um die Donau auf dem Balkan vertreten war. Obwohl einige “Orlea-Maglavit” Fibeln schon veröffentlicht sind, werden im hiesigen Text einige Aspekte (Tragweise, Geschlechtsbestimmung der Fibelträger usw.) angesprochen, die bisher ungeklärt blieben

Creating Ethnicities & Identities in the Roman World

Questions of ethnic and cultural identities are central to the contemporary understanding of the Roman world. The expansion of Rome across Italy, the Mediterranean, and beyond entailed encounters with a wide range of peoples. Many of these had well-established pre-conquest ethnic identities which can be compared with Roman perceptions of them. In other cases, the ethnicity of peoples conquered by Rome has been perceived almost entirely through the lenses of Roman ethnographic writing and administrative structures. The formation of such identities, and the shaping of these identities by Rome, was a vital part of the process of Roman imperialism. Comparisons across the empire reveal some similarities in the processes of identity formation during and after the period of Roman conquest, but they also reveal a considerable degree of diversity and localisation in interactions between Romans and others. This volume explores how these practices of ethnic categorisation formed part of Roman strategies of control, and how people living in particular places internalised them and developed their own senses of belonging to an ethnic community. It includes both regional studies and thematic approaches by leading scholars in the field

Transtextuality, (Re)sources and Transmission of the Celtic Culture Through the Shakespearean Repertory

This dissertation explores the resurgence of motifs related to Celtic cultures in Shakespeare’s plays, that is to say the way the pre-Christian and pre-Roman cultures of the British Isles permeate the dramatic works of William Shakespeare. Such motifs do not always evidently appear on the surface of the text. They sometimes do, but most often, they require a thorough in depth exploration. This issue has thus far remained relatively unexplored; in this sense we can talk of a ‘construction’ of meaning. However, the cultures in question belong to an Ancient time, therefore, we may accept the idea of a ‘reconstruction’ of a forgotten past. Providing a rigorous definition of the term ‘Celtic’ this study offers to examine in detail the presence of motifs, first in the Chronicles that Shakespeare could have access to, and takes into account the notions of orality and discourse, inherent to the study of a primarily oral culture. The figure of King Arthur and the matter of Britain, seen as the entrance doors to the subject, are studied in relation to the plays, and in the Histories, the analysis of characters from the ‘margins’, i.e. Wales, Ireland and Scotland provides an Early Modern vision of ‘borderers’. Only two plays from the Shakespearean corpus are set in a Celtic historical context – Cymbeline and King Lear – but motifs surge in numerous other works, such as Macbeth, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Tempest, The Winter’s Tale and others. This research reveals a substrate that produces a new enriching reading of the play
