Poczet władców rzymskich. Imagines XXX tyrannorum w „Epitome thesauri antiquitatum” Jacopa Strady (1553)
Get PDFIn the work entitled Epitome thesauri antiquitatum by Jacopo Strada, an antiquarian,
collector and numismatist, old coins serve to illustrate the history of the life and reign
of rulers and members of their families. The Epitome is interesting as an example
which reflects the reception of ancient forms in the modern era, both through the
copying of ancient monuments as well as through the representation of content
drawn from ancient literature.
In reference to the Roman rulers who reigned in the 3rd century, the source of
numismatic commentaries featured in the Epitome was constituted by the biographies
of the Augusti, Caesari and the usurpers contained in the collection entitled
Historia Augusta. The compatibility of fragments of this work from Late Antiquity
with fragments of the Epitome is presented by the author on the basis of the coins
of ‘tyrants’ described by Strada: Cyriades, Postumus, Ingenuus, Ballista, Piso, Aemilianus
and Zenobia
Rabies in Europe in 2005
No full textRabies is still present in Europe in 2005. Its incidence in humans remains limited (fewer than 5 human cases per year) through the application of strict prophylactic measures (anti-rabies treatment) and by means of veterinary rabies control measures in the domesticated and wild animal populations. The main indigenous animal reservoirs are: the dog in eastern European countries and on the borders with the Middle East; the fox in central and eastern Europe; the racoon dog in northeastern Europe; and the insectivorous bat throughout the entire territory. Finally, each year, cases of animals with rabies imported from enzootic areas are reported, showing the permeability of borders and traveller’s lack of consideration of the rabies risk. These importations constantly threaten the rabies-free status of terrestrial animals in western European countries and complicate the therapeutic decisions taken by physicians in the absence of information regarding the biting animal.</jats:p
