A note on the auxilia in the Roman province of Pontus and Bithynia
No full textAbstract · Inspired by the 2022 edition of an epitaph dedicated to a soldier of the fourth cohors Cypria died in Sinope, the author ofers
an update on the epigraphic evidence concerning auxiliary cohortes and alae from the province of Pontus and Bithynia. Since it was an
unarmed province, the presence of these soldiers, as well as of legionaries, must be considered only temporary and connected to the
passage of Roman troops towards the eastern border of the Empire. It is worth considering, in this regard, that most of the inscriptions
date to the 2nd or 3rd century. Only those relating to the soldiers of the cohors Cypria seem to be earlier, but they could be connected
with the expedition against Mithridates king of the Bosphorus in the time of Claudius or with the momentary annexation of the Bosphoran kingdom under Nero
Un itinerario religioso alle porte di Brixia: dal santuario di Mercurio in località Sant’Eufemia alle cave di Botticino
No full textStarting from a reflection on the distribution of the dedications to Mercury discovered around Brescia, Author assumes the existence of a relationship between the cult of the god and the economic activities which made prosper the colony Augusta Civica Brixia. He refers in particular to the extractive ones, made in the marble quarries of Botticino or in the iron
mines present in Val Trompia and Val Camonica. The presence, in the area of the quarries, of sacred and funerary dedications relating to the members of the senatorial order of Brixia, could suggest that, at least during the 2nd century AD, they received income from the extraction and the commerce of the extracted material, especially that of stone. Indeed, limestone from
the mining district around Brixia was widely used in the city and exported elsewhere. His use is found in urban architecture and in epigraph
Riferimenti geografici e propaganda nell'Eneide. Una nota su Virgilio, Augusto e le iscrizioni
No full textIn questo contributo, prendendo spunto dai versi dell’Eneide, mi soffermo su alcuni documenti epigrafici, ma non solo, che potrebbero fornire un qualche riscontro ai riferimenti di carattere geografico ed etnico presenti nel poema virgiliano. La selezione riguarderà in particolare quei versi e quelle iscrizioni che, con la citazione di luoghi e popoli, appaiono celebrativi dell’espansionismo territoriale di Roma e di un dominio giunto grazie ad Augusto sino ai confini del mondo allora
conosciuto, come lo stesso principe dichiara orgogliosamente nel cap. 26 delle sue Res gestae

Snacking and obesity: urgency of a definition to explore such a relationship.
No full textTheis is a letter to the Editor, in which we reported the need of a clear definition of “snacking” and “snack” , which are not uniquely defined. According to this, a clear definition of “snack” is expected to appear and to be clearly identifiable in the material and methods section of the papers. Nevertheless, a simple PubMED (www.pubmed.gov) search of the words “snack*” and “obes*,” limited to papers about children from infancy to age 18 years, published in English from April 2003 to April 2006, found 55 references (52 were found in the University Library and not referred here for reason of brevity). Twenty-two (42.3%) of the 52 gave a clear and univocal definition of “snack” according to one of the above mentioned concepts. Four papers (7.6%) gave incomplete definitions based on examples, and the remaining 26 papers (50%) were not defining the “snack” concept at all.
Leaving such a key concept undefined and merely understood by a common, a priori idea seems to be inappropriate in epidemiological and nutritional research and may affect the accuracy of the information offered as well as the validity of the conclusions proposed. We believe that, while waiting for a consensus to be reached among scientists, a strict definition of snack should always be provided in the articles
