This thesis is a commentary on lines 1-650 of Prudentius’ hymn to the martyr Romanus. Although printed in modern editions as the tenth poem of Prudentius’ Peristephanon, a collection of poems on various martyrs, certain features of the work in form and content differentiate it from the rest of the collection. These features include its length (1,140 verses; almost twice as long as Peristephanon 2, the second longest), its title, its place in manuscript transmission, the fact that the city where Romanus’ martyrdom takes place is never mentioned, and the inclusion of long sections of anti-pagan invective. This commentary aims to investigate its singularity and attempts to establish how it fits into Prudentius’ oeuvre. In the commentary proper I provide a general philological and historical elucidation of the text. I particularly focus on language, on identifying and interpreting allusions, and on discussing themes that recur in Prudentius’ works as well as contemporary and earlier literature. In the Introduction I offer an overview of the life and works of the poet; the dating; the textual transmission; other extant sources on the martyr Romanus and the relationship between them; the question of whether this poem belonged to the collection of the Peristephanon; and generic and particular influences on the poem from both Christian and secular literature, which are often combined in the text in interesting ways. The exploration of all these aspects of the text together with the close reading offered in the commentary itself contribute to a fuller understanding of this remarkably complex work.

What should a catalogue of archaeological material contain? This book is a comprehensive index of 210 lamps from the Roman fort at Gerulata and its adjoining civilian settlement. The lighting devices were excavated during the last 50 years from the houses, cemeteries, barracks and fortifications of this Roman outpost on the Danube Limes and span almost three centuries from AD 80 to AD 350. For the first time, they are published in full and in color with detailed analysis of lamp types, workshop marks and discus scenes. The first chapter describes the history of Roman Pannonia and the archaeological record of Gerulata. Three successive catalogues - of the lamps, of the stamps, and of the iconography - illustrate the material thoroughly. An inquiry into the lamps' function as grave goods is presented, followed by four studies focused on the statistical analysis of types, the organization of the lamp industry, signs of personal ownership, and the cultural significance of lamplight in a provincial milieu, respectively. Together, they paint a picture of a community on the edge of the Empire and its use of artificial light in both life and death. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

la ricerca si propone lo studio della figura di Lucio Quinzio Cincinnato, paradigma di vir Romanus della prima età repubblicana, e della sua gens di appartenenza, la gens Quinzia, lungo tutto l'arco della sua esistenza. Scopo del lavoro è quello di decodificare come è stata costruita nel tempo, da parte della cultura romana, la figura esemplare di Cincinnato, evidenziando gli eventuali aspetti storici della sua vicenda e le possibili stratificazioni storiografiche e “ideologiche” successive che ne hanno fatto un personaggio paradigmatico della storia di Roma. / The research aims to study the figure of Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, a paradigmatic vir Romanus of the early roman Republic, and his belonging clan, the gens Quinctia, throughout its existence. Aim of the work is to decode how it was built over time by the roman culture, the exemplary figure of Cincinnatus, highlighting any historical aspects of his story and the subsequent historiographical and "ideological" layers that have made it a paradigmatic character of the roman history.

This work deals with roman building terracotas in the area between Vindobona and Brigetio and along Danubian Limes. The first part describes manufacturing of roman bricks, inscriptions, marks and stamps which are used on them. Second part summarizes finds of roman bricks alongside roman buildings on limes romanus. In the third part is considered metodology of research, also there is a focus on Petrological analyses and support of computer software. In this section are tested new ways of comparing of brickstamps with the help of morphometry and accurate measuerment of the stamps. Last part focuses on production and distribution of building material mainly trough river roads. In the end I calculated needed ammount of building material along with the time of production and the time of transportation to the roman forts.
