Tripolis on the Maeander under Roman Rule (Cent. 2nd B.C. - 3rd A.D.): History and Epigraphy
No full textThis paper aims at depicting the historical and administrative geography of Tripolis on the Maeander (Lydia, Anatolia) within the Roman province Asia since its institution (129 B.C.) up to the provincial reform of Diocletian (late 3rd cent. A.D.). Tripolis traditionally belonged to the south-eastern part of Lydia, which in the Lykos Valley, and especially along the Maeander’s stream, met and mingled with Caria and Phrygia. The changes of names have an important historical meaning for the city, since the Hellenistic age (Apollonia) up to the Civil Wars of the late 1st cent. B.C. (Antoniopolis, Tripolis). Three wars can be considered as turning points for the Greek cities in Roman Asia: the Aristonicus’ revolt (133-130 B.C.), the first mithridatic war (89-85 B.C.), and the Parthian invasion of Labienus (40-38 B.C.) – these happenings must have involved in some way Tripolis, as they actually did with Laodikeia and Aphrodisias. Some administrative transformations can be detected during the Imperial age: according to the Roman system of juridical districts (conventus, dioikeseis), Tripolis belonged firstly to the conventus of Sardeis (under Augustus), then to Apameia’s (under the Flavians), later to one among the three newly established districts of Laodikeia, Hierapolis, and Philadelpheia (under Hadrian and/or Antoninus Pius). Finally Diocletian divided the province Asia in lesser administrative units: in Late Antiquity Tripolis was therefore ascribed to the province Lydia (capital Sardeis), as is also stated by some official documents of the age of Justinian (6th cent.). Epigraphy and numismatics offer also important data for the history of religious cults in Tripolis

Felix progenies Constantini Aug: alcune osservazioni intorno a RIC VII, Treviri, 442
No full textThis paper aims to provide a different identification of the figures represented on the Felix progenies Constantini Aug reverse of a gold multiple from the mint of Trier, struck in the name of Crispus in AD 324, usually interpreted as showing the empress Fausta flanked by the two elder sons of emperor Constantine, Crispus (son of Minervina, a concubine or the first wife of Constantine I) and Constantine II (born from Fausta, the emperor’s second wife). However, in order to assert and consolidate the dynastic succession of the line of descent from Fausta, the reverse type of this two-solidi piece seems to be referable, in a more convincing way, to the representation of the empress between her two sons Constantine II and Constantius II, the latter raised to the rank of Caesar at the end of November 324, when also the title of Augusta was probably conferred on Fausta
The Autonomy of the Political. Concept, Theory, Form
No full textThis booklet brings together four topical essays on the subject of autonomy and the concept of the political in twentieth century political philosophy, which were presented at a conference at the former Jan van Eyck Academie in 2011. The booklet makes for a very good introduction to a specialised debate with essays by Sara Farris, Dario Gentili, Elettra Stimilli, and Tracy B. Strong. It is presented with a general conceptual introduction by the editors Nathaniel Boyd and Michele Filippini, and followed by a visual exploration of the concept by Luisa Lorenza Corna who is also responsible for the design of the booklet. The essays cover a broad range of subjects, from the Italian workerist tradition (with a particular emphasis on Mario Tronti) to Agamben, the Schmitt/Kojève debate, to a philosophical interrogation of the autonomy of the political more generally. Anyone with a keen interest in this subject will find the booklet a valuable edition, a source of varied thoughts and reflections on the autonomy of the political and its tradition, as well as a critical engagement with its figures and ideas
