    Karia: A Case Study

    No full text
    We are used to thinking of Karia in southwestern Asia Minor as a separate and identifiable region within the western Anatolian world. Regional scholarship organizes itself around this concept, and can point to ancient sources like Homer or Herodotos as evidence that the Greeks too saw this space this same way. As we shall see, matters are not so simple. A fourteenth-century CE a Byzantine list of bishops includes an entry for “The (bishop) of Stauroupolis, of all Karia”. Stauroupolis was anci..

    A Letter of Septimius Severus to the Lykian League on the Misbehavior of Soldiers: A New Inscription from Choma (Hacımusalar Höyük), Northern Lykia

    No full text
    197 n. Chr. antwortete der Kaiser Septimius Severus auf eine Beschwerde des Lykischen Bundes ĂŒber Soldaten, die Lykier gefoltert hatten. Eine Kopie der Antwort wurde auf einem Stein gefunden, der in einer Kirche in Choma (Hacımusalar) im Norden Lykiens als TĂŒrschwelle wiederverwendet wurde. Severus’ Brief enthĂ€lt eine Zusammenfassung der Beschwerden der Lykier und seiner Abhilfemaßnahmen. Die Lykier bitten darum, dass Soldaten nicht foltern und dass derselbe Soldat nicht nochmals in eine bestimmte Stadt geschickt wird. Severus gibt den Anfragen der Lykier statt und richtet Verfahren ein, um weiteren Missbrauch zu verhindern und den Misshandelten die Möglichkeit zu geben, Beschwerden ĂŒber ihre Misshandlung anzuzeigen. Severus legt die AutoritĂ€t, Folter zu genehmigen, in die HĂ€nde des Statthalters. Der Kontext der Beschwerde und der Antwort ist in der Zeit unmittelbar nach dem BĂŒrgerkrieg anzusiedeln und kann mit den BemĂŒhungen von Severus’ Truppen im Zusammenhang stehen, in Lykien Personen aufzuspĂŒren, die seine Gegner unterstĂŒtzt hatten.In 197 CE the emperor Septimius Severus responded to a complaint from the Lykian League about soldiers who had been torturing Lykians. A copy of the reply was found inscribed on a stone re-used as a threshold in a church at Choma (Hacımusalar) in northern Lykia. Severus’ letter included a summary of the Lykians’ complaints and his remedies. The Lykians ask that soldiers not torture and that the same soldier not be sent again into a given city. Severus grants the Lykians’ requests and sets up procedures designed to prevent further abuse and give those who were mistreated the opportunity to register complaints about their mistreatment. Severus places the authority to authorize torture in the hands of the governor. The context of the complaint and response falls in the immediate aftermath of the civil war and may be connected with efforts by Severus’ troops in Lykia to root out persons who had supported his opponents.En 197 apr. J.-C. l’ empereur Septime SĂ©vĂšre rĂ©pondit Ă  une lettre de plainte de la confĂ©dĂ©ration lycienne au sujet de soldats qui avaient torturĂ© des Lyciens. Une copie de la rĂ©ponse a Ă©tĂ© trouvĂ©e inscrite sur une pierre qui a Ă©tĂ© rĂ©utilisĂ©e comme pas de porte dans une Ă©glise de ChĂŽma (Hacımusalar) dans le nord de la Lycie. La lettre de SĂ©vĂšre contient un compte rendu des plaintes des Lyciens et ses mesures pour y remĂ©dier. Les Lyciens demandent l’ arrĂȘt des maltraitances par les soldats et qu’ un soldat ne soit pas renvoyĂ© dans une ville, oĂč il a dĂ©jĂ  Ă©tĂ© stationnĂ© auparavant. SĂ©vĂšre accĂšde aux demandes des Lyciens et met en place une procĂ©dure pour empĂȘcher d’ autres abus et pour donner l’ opportunitĂ© aux maltraitĂ©s de dĂ©poser plainte des sĂ©vices subis. SĂ©vĂšre met entre les mains du gouverneur le pouvoir d’ autoriser la torture. Le contexte dans lequel la plainte et la rĂ©ponse se situent, correspond Ă  la pĂ©riode juste aprĂšs la guerre civile, et peut s’ expliquer par les efforts des troupes de SĂ©vĂšre de dĂ©tecter des personnes en Lycie qui avaient soutenu ses adversaires

    Regionalism and change in the economy of independent Delos, 314-167 B.C

    No full text
    Gary Reger's highly original book applies modern statistical analysis to the detailed inscriptions at the Temple of Apollo on Delos. These inscriptions, discovered during excavations in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, provide a wealth of information about the business and economic enterprises of the island from 314 to167 B.C.Reger examines the abundant data from the inscriptions and seeks patterns in the production and use of commodities (olive oil, pigs, firewood, barley, wheat) and in fluctuations in rents for real estate. Linking the island's economic history to the larger political scene, he offers a trenchant and overdue argument for an analysis of the Delian economy as a regional phenomenon, not - as others have seen it - as a center of international exchange

    Mylasa and its territory

    No full text
    By the middle of the second century BC, after the Romans had ended the Rhodians’control of Karia and Lykia in 167 BC as punishment for their audacious offer to broker a peace between the Romans and Perseus, king of Makedon, Mylasa had become the pre-eminent polis of south-central Karia. Two important local sanctuaries, that of the indigenous god Sinuri south-east of Mylasa proper and that of Zeus Labraundos to the north, were under Mylasean control. The Mylaseans pursued at least one local wa..

    The Mykonian Synoikismos

    No full text
    According to Ps.-Skylax, Mykonos had two poleis. This evidence was confirmed in the last century when an inscription of the later third century BC was discovered on Mykonos making mention of the synoikismos (as the verb synoikizomai) of its poleis. Synoikismos has several meanings in the Hellenistic period, but in the case of Mykonos the phenomenon seems to be the amalgamation into one of two poleis which had been separate, though possibly connected through a federation or other such arrangement ; this would explain the invisibility of the two poleis outside the island. Despite a number of suggestions, the locations of the poleis are still not certainly determined, though Palaiokastro and modern Mykonos town seem the most likely candidates. Some possible evidence of the impact of the synoikismos on local political and religious life are considered.Selon le Ps.-Skylax, Myconos possĂ©dait deux citĂ©s. Affirmation confirmĂ©e au siĂšcle dernier lors de la dĂ©couverte dans l'Ăźle d'une inscription de la fin du IIP siĂšcle a.C. mentionnant le Synoecisme de ses citĂ©s. Le terme a plusieurs sens Ă  l'Ă©poque hellĂ©nistique mais dans le cas de Myconos, il paraĂźt dĂ©signer l'amalgame des deux citĂ©s, autrefois sĂ©parĂ©es, en une seule, peut ĂȘtre cependant rĂ©unies Ă  l'intĂ©rieur d'une fĂ©dĂ©ration ou par un autre arrangement. Cela expliquerait pourquoi les deux citĂ©s Ă©taient "invisibles" Ă  l'extĂ©rieur de l'Ăźle. En dĂ©pit de nombre de suggestions, la localisation des deux citĂ©s n'a pu ĂȘtre dĂ©terminĂ©e avec certitude bien que Palaiokastro et la ville actuelle de Myconos paraissent les meilleurs candidats. Quelques possibles incidences de l'impact du synoecisme sur la vie politique et religieuse locale sont analysĂ©es.Reger Gary. The Mykonian Synoikismos. In: Revue des Études Anciennes.
