Tétel Szabadon hozzáférhető Henrik Finály and Roman Dacia: The Contributions of a 19th Century Hungarian Po-Lymath to the Development of Roman Provincial Archaeology in Transylvania(2017-08-15) Petruţ, DávidBy any standards Henrik Finály was a true polymath, his overarching interests ranging from mathematics to classical studies, modern linguistics and literature, economics, medieval studies and archaeology. Although he was among the first Hungarian antiquarians to pursue systematic scholarly investigations of Roman Dacia, his contribution in this field has been unfairly downgraded in the intervening years, and his name almost erased from the research history of the province. The main goal of the paper is to provide a comprehensive insight into, and a critical overview of the early stages of Roman Dacia studies through the work of Henrik Finály in the social, political and cultural context of 19th century Transylvania.Tétel Szabadon hozzáférhető Jungfrauen in Waffen: Camilla Virgo, Iuturna Virago(2017-08-15) Köves-Zulauf, ThomasThe paper starts with the analysis of the ambiguous figure of the “Italic Amazon” Camilla in the Aeneis . Two main factors are analysed, the role of the spear in the life of this “armed virgin” and her relations with natural surroundings, especially with rivers like the Amasenus and with lakes and marshes generally. Both prove to be fateful. The second factor is also noticeable with the other armed virgin of the Aeneis , Iuturna, who emerges as an upgraded and contrasting parallel to Camilla. Iuturna virago shows similarities with another famous virago of Latin literature, the Paluda virago of Ennius, and this gives an opportunity to evoke other women of the Roman tradition in connection with rivers and marshes, a phenomenon which proves to be a suitable topic for future exanimation.Tétel Szabadon hozzáférhető The Ambiguous Arms of Aeneas(2017-08-15) Fratantuono, LeeVirgil subtly connects the scene of Dido’s discussion with her sister Anna about the new Trojan arrival Aeneas, and the later first arrival of the Trojans in Latium. By a careful corre-spondence between the two passages, Virgil portends the dark amatory rationale behind the sub-sequent outbreak of war in ItalyTétel Szabadon hozzáférhető Hieroglyphs in Greek Magical Texts?(2017-08-15) Németh, GyörgyThe paper examines hieroglyphs and magic signs resembling hieroglyphs attested in Greek and demotic magical texts.Tétel Szabadon hozzáférhető A gold lamella for ‘Blessed’ Abalala(2020-07-08) Kotansky, Roy D.This article examines a previously unpublished gold lamella of unknown provenance, datable on palaeographical grounds to the 1st century BCE, give-or-take a half century, either side. The tablet preserves three words written in Greek letters that may contain a GrecoPersian formula of protection in the afterlife for its bearer, Abalala, a name of pre-Islamic extraction. The study compares the formula with those on a number of shorter ‘Orphic’ gold lamellae to show that the tiny piece represents a ‘ Totenpaß’ for the beneficent dead, rather than a protective charm (phylactery) with the usual voces magicae , although the distinction between magic words and meaningful text is not always clear in such instances.Tétel Szabadon hozzáférhető Die Haut des Satyrs: Marsyas und Apollo(2020-07-08) Darab , ÁgnesThe essay proceeds from the observation that out of the surviving literature of antiquity only one poet, Ovid pays significant attention to the tragic fate of Marsyas. Both the Fasti and the Metamorphoses relate the tale. The narrative in Metamorphoses only focuses on the naturalistic description of the punishment, the flaying of Marsyas. The interpretation of this account within even wider contexts leads to the proposition that Marsyas’s tale is the self-reflection of the elegiac poet Ovid, and as such it becomes a key narrative within Metamorphoses .Tétel Szabadon hozzáférhető Acrostic shit (Ecl. IV 47-52)(2020-07-08) Adkin, NeilThe cacata -acrostic ( Ecl . IV 47-52) is considered accidental, as being inconsistent with the dignitas of this “Messianic” Eclogue . It is however possible to demonstrate that Virgil employs such acrostics on other occasions with the object of undercutting such political panegyric. The intentionality of this cacata -acrostic is further buttressed by clues in the lines it spans as well as by winks tipped in other parts of the poem. Pointers to this acrostic are also embedded in the foregoing third Eclogue , especially in the section devoted to Pollio, dedicatee of Eclogue IV. Problematic passages in both these Eclogues are elucidated by the presence of the cacataacrostic.Tétel Szabadon hozzáférhető The Lombars' Move into Italy(2020-07-08) Pósán, LászlóThe present study disputes stereotypes in historical scholarship related to the Lombards’ move into Italy and takes a position contrary to those common views. It calls into question the idea that the Lombards entered Italy as ruthless conquerors and holds the view that they moved into Italy from Pannonia not unlike the foederati in the late Roman Empire on the basis of an agreement concluded with the Romans. The author disputes the idea that King Alboin set out on this journey together with all his people in a single move in the spring of 568, and maintains on the grounds of various logistical considerations that the Lombards migrated to Italy in a number of groupings (so-called farae ) stretched over a longer period of time and along diverse routes.Tétel Szabadon hozzáférhető Bemerkungen zur öffentlichen Sklaverei in Pannonien(2020-07-08) Zimonyi, ÁkosThe monograph of Alexander Weiß on public slavery in the cities of the Roman Empire based on Greek and Latin inscriptions shed light on the role and functions of the public slaves, arguing that they had a much larger role in the administration of the provincial cities than previously thought. Weiß intended to collect all epigraphical data on public slavery, although he could not study some smaller corpora in Pannonia, like IlJug or the Corpus of Greek inscriptions found in Pannonia (CIGP). A new collection of inscriptions from Aquincum (Tituli Aquincenses) and new inscriptions offer a great opportunity to reexamine the epigraphical data of Pannonia on public slavery, and examine whether the public slaves of Pannonia fit into the administrative categories listed by Weiß, or might reveal new functions.Tétel Szabadon hozzáférhető Quis est nam ludus in undis? (Virgil, Eclogue IX 39-43)(2020-07-08) Adkin, NeilThe undis -acrostic that has recently been discovered in Eclogue IX 34-38 has proved problematic. The present article argues that the acrostic’s point is the etymology of litus as the place where these “waves” do not “play” (39: ludus ), but “strike” (43: feriant for synonymous but exceedingly scarce lidant ). This acrostic is accordingly hot-potato politics, since it pertains to the land confiscations round Virgil’s “wave”-begirt Mantua. The poet also provides endorsement in the form of an unidentified onomastic.Tétel Szabadon hozzáférhető The Question of Life and Death by Cicero and Macrobius(2020-07-08) Tóth, OrsolyaTo Cicero’s Somnium Scipionis Macrobius prepared a Neoplatonic commentary in Late Antiquity. On the grounds of these two works and Cicero’s other political or philosophical writings and letters this study seeks an answer to the question what similarities and differences can be demonstrated between the two authors’ way of thinking as regards the nature of the virtues, the issue of vita activa and vita contemplativa , the meaning of life and the necessity of voluntary death.Tétel Csak a leíró adatok érhetők el Die letzte Zeile der phrygischen Inschrift von Veziran(2020-07-08) Simon , ZsoltThis paper provides a new grammatical and lexicographical analysis of the last line of the Phrygian inscription from Vezirhan based on its Greek version. As a by-product, the system of the medial verbs in Phrygian is also discussed.Tétel Szabadon hozzáférhető Ito Pater, Eracura and the Messenger: A Preliminary Report on a Curse Tablet from Aquincum(2020-07-08) Barta, AndreaThis paper publishes a new curse tablet from Aquincum. While the letter-forms are well-preserved, the text requires interpretion through linguistic analysis aided by analogies with other curse tablets and literary sources.Tétel Szabadon hozzáférhető Tropes and figures as arguments in textual criticism?(2020-07-08) D. Tóth, JuditIn the first part of my paper, I present the so-called first homilies of St Gregory of Nyssa delivered in praise of the forty martyrs of Sebaste ( Mart Ia and Ib ) from two separate angles: on the one hand, focusing on how they can be related to stays of the Cappadocian Father in Sebaste and, on the other hand, identifying what sorts of internal arguments of textual criticism are cited when an effort is made to identify when they were delivered. By giving an overview of the most important research findings, I provide a basis for my query concerning whether certain tropes and rhetorical figures as well as rhetorical-stylistical-poetical solutions could be typical of specific time periods and genres in the oeuvre of the church father and, thereby, serve as arguments of textual criticism for identifying the dates for composition of his works. Using the opening lines of Mart Ib , I focus my investigation on the banquet -simile connected to the figure of yesterday/then and today/now , primarily in the epideictic speeches of the bishop of Nyssa. My conclusion is that this is a valid question, while the text analyses confirm the conventional date (383) identified for the production of Mart Ia and Ib .Tétel Szabadon hozzáférhető Epigrafía pública y defixiones: paradigmas (y paradojas) del Occidente Latino(2020-07-08) Sánchez Natalías, CeliaThis paper falls into two main sections. The first deals with the defixio and its traditional definition as an example of so-called private inscriptions. Unlike public epigraphs, which were monumental, crafted by professionals, intended for display, and had (mainly) a commemorative function, defixiones (whether written by magoi or amateurs) are usually considered to be among Antiquity’s most private texts. Nevertheless, curse tablets and public inscriptions share a very important feature: both contained messages meant to endure. This specific feature brings us to the second section of this article, which discusses the influence of public inscriptions on curse tablets: to what extent are defixiones a reflection of monumental epigraphy? Aspects such as the ordinatio of the text, the media employed or the way they were displayed (even inside a tomb) are analyzed in this regard. In an attempt to answer these questions, three publicly displayed curse tablets are discussed in depth.Tétel Szabadon hozzáférhető Das Bildprogramm der Meleager-Platte aus dem Seuso-Schatz(2020-07-08) Gesztelyi, TamásThere are eight distinct love stories on the Meleager plate of the Seuso treasure. In four of them hunting plays an important role. The main theme of the depicted stories is allprevailing love, the emotion that is the motivating force in human life. An ancillary theme of the stories is hunting, which can be interpreted in a concrete as well as a figurative sense. Hunting is an aristocratic pleasure but at the same time it represents the exercise of virtues, too, in which even females can participate, cf. the scenes with Helene and Atalante. Although there is no need to look for a topical event to feature the motif of love, it is tempting to determine the contemporary function of the treasure as a wedding gift. We are inclined to believe that Seuso, the well-off owner of the treasure, must have been given this unique silver tableware as a wedding gift some time around the beginning of the 5th century.Tétel Szabadon hozzáférhető Early Christian archaeology in Hungary between 2010 and 2016(2020-07-08) Nagy , LeventeIn 2010 the Department of Archaeology at the University of Pécs witnessed the establishment of Christian Archaeology, a new M.A. subject that did not exist in Hungary before. Shortly after the launch of Christian Archaeology in Hungary, in 2012 the department started a new research project in collaboration with the Department of Christian Archaeology, University of Vienna, under the title Frühes Christentum in Ungarn . This contribution is a presentation of the most important events and research-results in Christian Archaeology in Hungary between 2010 and 2016. Recent publications of the Roman provincial archaeologists, migration period archaeologists and patristic philosophers and theologians are also taken into account.Tétel Szabadon hozzáférhető A Coptic magical name in a Pannonian phylacterion(2020-07-08) Fehér, BenceA silver lamella was found in Aquincum (1927/28), in a burial site which could be easily dated to the latest Trajan or early Hadrian era, but it was published defectively, misread and misinterpreted. Several attempts at re-interpretation in the 1990s and 2000s succeeded only partially. The reading I propose contains distinct textual units beginning with characters (among them hieroglyphs), and a Coptic magical logos (παχνουφις). In my opinion, the phylacterion was meant to give protection in the next world, and the writer of the spell was well acquainted with the Egyptian magical traditions.Tétel Szabadon hozzáférhető The Cup of Gaius Valerius Verdullus found at Arcobriga (Monreal de Ariza, Zaragoza)(2020-07-08) Baratta, GiuliaIn this paper I present two fragments from a fine walled ceramic vase found in Arcobriga that are part of the production of Gaius Valerius Verdullus , and I advance some views regarding the restoration of the epigraphic text that characterizes it.Tétel Szabadon hozzáférhető Notices épigraphiques et onomastiques (Dacie romaine) (I)(2020-07-08) Dana, DanThis paper republishes 12 Greek and Latin inscriptions from Roman Dacia, in most cases with illustrations. Previous readings are improved and more ghost-names are removed. These inscribed monuments and objects (some of them, in the category of instrumentum inscriptum ) are explained in their series or contexts, pertaining to the military milieu or the cosmopolitan side of the province.
