    In the first part of this paper, G.L. Gregori draws the conclusions of the meeting organised at the Università degli Studi Roma Tre and dedicated to the epigraphic documentation of Clusium (Chiusi - Siena), retracing the salient points of the speeches of V. Belfiore – R. Massarelli, E. Benelli, G. Caracciolo and M. Braconi. In the second part G.L. Gregori together with G. Estrada San Juan present two sacred inscriptions, found near San Casciano dei Bagni (Siena), in the southern territory of ancient Clusium, in the excavations of a bath complex, offered to Apollo and Fortuna Primigenia, pro salute of senators who had properties in the surrounding area (Erucii and Asinii). These texts offer also the opportunity to reconsider the relationships of some important gentes of Antonine and Severan age, formulating new hypotheses with respect to previous reconstruction

    A note on the auxilia in the Roman province of Pontus and Bithynia

    No full text
    Abstract · 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

    HLA-G orchestrates the early interaction of human trophoblasts with the maternal niche

    Extravillous trophoblasts (EVTs) play a central role in educating maternal leukocytes, endometrial stromal and endothelial cells to generate a receptive decidual microenvironment tailored to accept the semi-allogeneic fetus. HLA-G, a non-classical HLA class I molecule endowed with immune-regulatory functions, is primarily expressed on EVTs lining the placenta and on the naturally occurring tolerogenic dendritic cells, named DC-10, which are enriched in the human first trimester decidua. Decidual DC-10 are involved in HLA-G-mediated tolerance at the maternal-fetal interface. EVTs not only establish a tolerogenic microenvironment through the interaction with maternal innate and adaptive cells but also orchestrate placenta vascular and tissue remodeling, leading to a successful pregnancy. Here, we discuss the potential implications of the HLA-G-mediated cross-talk among the cells present at the maternal-fetal interface, and its role in maintaining a positive relationship between the mother and the fetus

    Un itinerario religioso alle porte di Brixia: dal santuario di Mercurio in località Sant’Eufemia alle cave di Botticino

    Starting 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

    Tradizione manoscritta e citazioni epigrafiche di Ovidio. Una nota su Trist. 1, 3, 25 e Pont. 1, 2, 111 alla luce di alcuni confronti epigrafici

    This paper discusses two verses of Ovid’s Tristia (1, 3, 25) and Epistulae ex Ponto (1, 2, 111), for which the manuscript tradition is discordant. These lines are quoted in three epigraphic documents: CLE 1339 = ICVR, I 3903, CLE 1979 = ICVR, VIII 23529 and CLE 1988 = CIL, VI 37965. How reliable are the quotations in the Latin inscriptions? Do they help to reassess the Ovidian text? The main purpose of this study is to answer such questions, with respect to these particular cases

    Virgilio epigrafico. La prima testimonianza su pietra di Aen. 1, 5-6

    No full text
    This article contains a new quotation on stone of VERGIL Aeneid 1, 5-6 (multa quoque et bello passus dum conderet urbem / inferretque deos Latio genus unde Latinum). Given its paleographic and stylistic peculiarities, the inscription – of unknown origin – may be dated to the 2nd or early 3rd century AD. A systematic survey of the literary occurrences of these two lines is also given, together with a review of the other cases of epigraphic citations from Virgil longer than one line, either taken out of context or adapted to a sepulchral referenc

    Riferimenti geografici e propaganda nell'Eneide. Una nota su Virgilio, Augusto e le iscrizioni

    No full text
    In 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
