A New Legionary Epitaph from Venice
No full textThis article presents a fragmentary and hitherto unpublished inscribed funerarystele, which was reused in Venice as an architectural spolium and has recently come to light. The text, written in Latin, is very likely to be the epitaph for a legionary, whose name is unknown since it occupied the part of the inscription that has not survived. Archaeological data and textual analysis suggest that the inscribed stone dates to the 1st - early 2nd centuries AD. It also seems likely that the legionary mentioned in the fragmentary text was a native of Narbonese Gaul who died in Dalmatia or in the eastern Regio X. The inscription can perhapsbe associated with another legionary’s funerary stele (CIL V, 2162), which was reused in the base of the nearby San Vidal bell-tower

No full textOltre la leggenda. Il 421 d.C. nella Venetia
No full textAdottando un approccio critico e una metodologia di indagine interdisciplinare, il saggio intende contribuire al dibattito sul mito fondativo di Venezia secondo la prospettiva della storia antica. In prima istanza, si indagano i dati costitutivi della leggenda della fondazione della città lagunare il 25 marzo 421 d.C. per decostruirla e cercare di spiegarne la genesi, ovvero per smascherarne le falsità in termini di cronologia, identità dei presunti ecisti e cariche da loro detenute, confermando con nuove argomentazioni la sua parziale derivazione dalla tradizione testuale liviana. In secondo luogo, si richiamano le coordinate storiche generali del 421 d.C., un anno per molti versi poco significativo per la macrostoria romana, dominato dalla figura dell’Augusta Galla Placidia. In conclusione, si esamina la situazione storica della Venetia e, in particolare, di Altinum tra la fine del IV e la prima metà del V secolo d.C., alla luce delle fonti letterarie e delle evidenze documentarie, riservando specifica attenzione alle testimonianze epigrafiche di recente acquisizione, che consentono di contestualizzare meglio la valenza storica della regione nel passaggio cruciale fra la tarda antichità e il medioevo.Adopting a critical and interdisciplinary approach, this essay contributes to the debate on the foundation myth of Venice from the perspective of ancient history. First, we deconstruct the legend dating the foundation of Venice to 25 March 421 CE, exploring its genesis and identifying its features as a forgery in terms of chronology, as well as the identity of the putative founders and the offices that they allegedly held. By adding new data to the discussion, we also confirm that the legend was partly inspired by the textual tradition of Livy. Second, we rehearse the general historical coordinates of 421 CE, a year that was dominated by the figure of the Augusta Galla Placidia and that may be considered in many ways insignificant for Roman macro-history. To conclude, we examine the historical situation of the Venetia region including, in particular, of Altinum between the end of the 4th and the first half of the 5th centuries CE, in the light of literary narratives and documentary evidence, paying specific attention to recently discovered epigraphic sources. This new information helps to better contextualise the historical significance of the region in a crucial time between Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
