Claudius Aelianus’ Varia Historia and the tradition of the miscellanyJohnson, Diane Louise 11 1900 (has links)
Claudius Aelianus was recognized by Philostratus and the author of the Suda as a
participant in the literary and intellectual movement of the Second Sophistic. Philostratus'
biographical sketch in the Lives of the Sophists, however, makes it clear that Aelian did
not perform publicly as did the other sophists whom Philostratus described; Aelian's
retiring and scholarly nature is emphasized by Philostratus, who implies that Aelian's
choice of literature over performance followed a pattern established by Demosthenes and
Cicero.
Most scholarship on the Varia Historia during the past 150 years addresses the
question how Aelian made his collection, i.e. what sources he accessed. This directly
reflects modern use of the Varia Historia as a quarry from which to mine information
about the ancient world. Such scholarship must conclude that Aelian was not a modern
research scholar with the goals, techniques, and readership of the modern "scientific"
historian.
What then were his goals, techniques, and readership? The Varia Historia cannot
be fairly assessed without taking into account its membership in the genre of the
miscellany. The Imperial miscellanist concerns himself with a specific subset of traditional
literature: the material which supplements the standard literary education and may be
termed polymathic. The miscellanist assumes a readership with whom he shares certain
educative goals: specifically, further detailed education in literature beyond the primary
level, including further work in the encyclic artes and a general increase in detailed
information "for its own sake." Because the miscellanist adopts the stance of a mature
amateur scholar gathering data for a younger reader, he reveals a patronizing tone in his
collection. The data the miscellanist offers his reader is presented in a manner
characterized by rroiKiXia or "variety"; as such it reflects the Imperial attitude toward the
cultured person's correct use of leisure.
An analysis of passages from the Varia Historia reveals that Aelian conceives his
reader as a young person currently in the process of acquiring paideia. In his miscellany
Aelian has provided this reader with material that conveys a moral message at the same
time that it provides models of the correct way to respond to traditional literature. / Arts, Faculty of / Classical, Near Eastern and Religious Studies, Department of / Graduate

Beyond the Periyar: A History of Consumption in Indo-Mediterranean Trade (100 BCE – 400 CE)Simmons, Jeremy A. January 2020 (has links)
This dissertation draws inspiration from one of most iconic exchanges across the Indian Ocean in antiquity: that of Indian spices for Roman gold coins on the Periyar River in Malabar. While previous scholarship has outlined how these goods arrived at various entrepots like that on the Periyar, the larger impacts of Indian Ocean imports within new socio-cultural environments have yet to be explored. "Beyond the Periyar" articulates these impacts from a new perspective, the commodities themselves and the rippling patterns of consumption and industries that contribute to or arise from their importation. Roman coins changed functions as they changed hands, and surviving specimens often show the multiple stages of their long lives as objects through physical adaptations by Indian consumers. Their superficial design further held aesthetic value, provided useful idioms for Indian die-cutters, and inspired an industry of high-quality imitations. Indian spices like black pepper, cinnamon leaf, and ginger contributed to Roman culinary and cosmetic practices, as attested by Roman authors and associated utensils. These products have been discussed in the context of notions of “luxury” in reactionary texts—however, such critiques must be balanced against larger considerations of literary genre and known economic factors like prices vis-à-vis real wages. A hive of human activity throughout the Indian Ocean world underpinned these acts of consumption, which often stands behind the veil of consumer apathy. Human agents range from the investors financing transoceanic ventures and the traders manning oceangoing vessels, to state interests and regional security personnel, to the processors, craftsmen, and vendors who marketed these products to consumers. When we look beyond the Periyar, the consumption of long-distance imports appears not as a marginal force, but as a transformative component of ancient economies and societies with a far wider reach than previously assumed.

Inventing Roman Bithynia: Rural Cultures and Identities in the 1st-3rd Centuries CESokolowski, Deborah January 2022 (has links)
This dissertation is a cultural history of Bithynia, a province of the Roman empire located in northwestern Turkey, in the 1st-3rd centuries CE. In Bithynia, rural settlements dominated the landscape, such that we might speak of cities as “islands” among the countryside. There is substantial evidence for the cultures of these people, in some 1,400 monuments which were carved with text and image primarily for religious and funerary purposes. This dissertation studies these inscriptions in order to write a fuller cultural history of Bithynia. It argues that cultural divides between rural and urban were in fact very permeable, and moreover that geographical boundaries between Bithynia and her neighbor, Phrygia, were also quite fluid. Yet at the same time, cultural differences between the two regions, as well as within Bithynia itself, can also be detected.
