Un supplementum al supplementum: Iscrizioni imperiali di Roma dagli anni ’90 a oggi
Full text linkIn this survey article are collected and discussed most of the imperial inscriptions found in Rome after the pubblication of the last Supplement to CIL, VI by Géza Alföldy in 1996, together with a large number of possible corrections of the already published texts. The contributions are organized according the following schema: Addenda et corrigenda: small corrections, accidental gaps, methodological inconsistencies, texts to be removed. New texts and new studies: new discoveries (including new fragments of old inscriptions), both in archaeological excavations and in archives and repositories, just published (as imperial inscriptions or not) or still unpublished.In this survey article are collected and discussed most of the imperial inscriptions found in Rome after the pubblication of the last Supplement to CIL, VI by Géza Alföldy in 1996, together with a large number of possible corrections of the already published texts.

The Sisciani in the Roman Empire
Full text linkThe article comments on residents of Siscia attested outside the city and its territory. It is based both on corpus of the Roman inscriptions from Siscia and inscriptions found elsewhere in the Roman Empire in which the Sisciani are documented. A few individuals, known from other provincial towns, were employed in municipal and provincial administration, while soldiers of various ranks predominate, legionaries as well as auxiliaries. Among them, soldiers serving in the Praetorian Guard are the best attested.The article comments on residents of Siscia attested outside the city and its territory.

…ne quem magistratum, cui provincia obvenisset, uxor comitaretur (tac. ann. 3, 33, 4): presenze femminili al seguito di magistrati e militari nelle province
Full text linkIn the early Imperial age, a feature, which had already been seen in the period of civil wars, even though sporadically and disapproved, took hold and became almost commonplace: wives increasingly accompanied their husbands who were sent to the provinces on military and civilian duties.
Already with Augustus, but especially with the first and second generation Princes, it was established the custom that the women of the domus imperialis accompanied their husbands engaged away from Rome: the image of a couple united in sharing the daily toils of military life as well as the honours of public ceremonies was functional to prestige and the idea of a potential imperial succession.
Even some Governors’ wives moved to the provinces but not all of them chose to live in the shadows, some entering forbidden areas and subsequently being involved in trial for concussio. The custom of accompanying their husbands inevitably spread also among wives of ordinary soldiers. Despite attempts to revive the old bans, the mos maiorum (Tac. Ann. 3, 33, 4), strenuously defended by the conservatives in tones reminiscent of Cato the Elder, was superseded by the new behaviours promoted by the members of the domus Augusta.In the early Imperial age, a feature, which had already been seen in the period of civil wars, even though sporadically and disapproved, took hold and became almost commonplace: wives increasingly accompanied their husbands who were sent to the provinces on military and civilian duties.

Life on the frontier: Roman military families in Lower Moesia
Full text linkThe epigraphic evidence from four Lower Moesian legionary bases provides information about military-civilian society living along the Lower Danubian frontier zone. The inscriptions on stone originating from these four sites informs not only about the names, age or status of the people living in the border zone, but may be helpful in recreating the emergence of Roman provincial society in the military garrisons. The epigraphic evidence collected from Oescus, Novae, Durostorum, and Troesmis includes only the inscriptions related to the people who were not active soldiers and officers serving in the legions. The aim of the paper is to find out whether the epigraphic evidence may bring any additional information concerning the civilian and military families, ethnic and social composition of the inhabitants living near legionary bases, conditions of life, and the nature of the settlement.The epigraphic evidence from four Lower Moesian legionary bases provides information about military-civilian society living along the Lower Danubian frontier zone.

Ethnic units in the late Roman Army? The case of the equites dalmatae
Full text linkThe article relies on the case study of the equites Dalmatae to analyse the relationships between Late Roman military unit naming conventions and the recruitment patterns of the era. Of special importance is the question of the extent to which the army employed ethnic units, recruited from a particular population and using their own, traditional fighting styles. The conclusions are reached through a combination of historical and onomastic study, with special regard to the possible meanings of the term Dalmatae and the entities and identities it could have represented.The article relies on the case study of the equites Dalmatae to analyse the relationships between Late Roman military unit naming conventions and the recruitment patterns of the era.

Defensive system of ancient city Volubilis. State of research and new perspectives
Full text linkThis contribution presents the first results of two surveys (2014, 2016) in the vicinity of the ancient city of Volubilis, situated in the southern part of the Roman province Mauretania Tingitana. The main purpose was to assess the possibilities of non-invasive research of the forts established by the Romans as part of the defensive system of Volubilis and to investigate the character of the Roman defences on the southern border. Forts were connected with watchtowers which completed the system protecting the territory in question. Many interesting fragments of pottery have been found at those sites, which may confirm Roman presence in many, though not all points. Collected field information as well as the analysis of publications leads to the conclusion that the border defence arrangements at Volubilis might not be considered as a part of a centrally organised limes system, safe guarding the entire province, but as the defensive system of the city and its surroundings.This contribution presents the first results of two surveys (2014, 2016) in the vicinity of the ancient city of Volubilis, situated in the southern part of the Roman province Mauretania Tingitana.

BLASKI I CIENIE BADAŃ POSTKOLONIALNYCH NAD POLSKĄ LITERATURĄ ROMANTYCZNĄ
Full text linkThis paper aims at a synthetic presentation of four representative research practices in the first stage of postcolonial studies concerned with Polish literature of the Romantic period. This is currently one of the key tools utilised in the studies of Polish Romanticism, which proved to offer a considerable scope for revisions, especially with regard to the myth of the Borderlands and Messianism, thus enabling major Romantic ideologies and myths to be redefined in terms of identity. An analysis of research discourses reveals the shortcomings and benefits of the postcolonial method when employed in the studies of Polish Romanticism. On the one hand, an all too rigid application of the tools has led to certain interpretive simplifications of Romantic texts, while on the other the authors of the discussed works were able to conceptualize the identities of Polish Romantic literature anew.This paper aims at a synthetic presentation of four representative research practices in the first stage of postcolonial studies concerned with Polish literature of the Romantic period.

UZUALNE PLURALIA TANTUM WE WSPÓŁCZESNEJ POLSZCZYŹNIE
Full text linkThe article discusses nouns such as frytki, piegi, ścinki; being most often used in their plural form, makes them functionally resemble the pluralia tantum nouns (occurring exclusively in the plural). The author carries out a semantic analysis aimed at determining whether the meaning of a word (in this case) is a factor affecting its grammatical behaviour.The article discusses nouns such as frytki, piegi, ścinki; being most often used in their plural form, makes them functionally resemble the pluralia tantum nouns (occurring exclusively in the plural).

IL CONFLITTO TRA INDIVIDUO E SISTEMA: VERSO LA COSTRUZIONE DELLA NUOVA IDENTITÀ CULTURALE NEL ROMANZO „I GRANDI OCCHI DEL MARE” DI LEONARD GUACI
Full text linkThe aim of the article is to analyse the theme of cultural identity in the novel „I grandi occhi del mare” by Leonard Guaci. Starting from Gioia di Cristofaro Longo’s theoretical assumptions concerning the connection between identity and culture, we stress the influence of Italian culture on the sense of identity felt by the characters who represent Albanians living in the period of Enver Hoxha’s communist dictatorship. The analysis also draws on the theories of scholars such us Hannah Arendt, Homi Bhabha, Dominique Chancé, Giovanni Marchetti, Nora Moll.
