No one will deny that the Principate meant an overall rearrangement of the
Roman traditional power structures, particularly for the political and social
actors who needed to relate themselves to the new regime after surviving the bloodshed of the civil wars. Through tradition and custom, some wealthy women deserved social appreciation for their discreet involvement in certain activities which also contributed to the stability and survival of Rome. The new political and diplomatic visibility shown by the women from the Augustan household somehow echoed the position progressively acquired by the matronae since the beginning of Rome’s history. Although female mediation became a new resource at the disposal of such influential women who successfully used it, this was hardly an invention from the Augustan Age, but a reinvention mostly based upon tradition.

In a thought-provoking book published in 1976, Charles Ebel suggested that large areas of Hispania—particularly Hispania Citerior—and southern Gaul (Gallia Transalpina, the future Narbonensis) had been militarily, politically and even economically interconnected long before Pompey’s intense activity in Gaul during the Sertorian War. In this chapter I will contend that Ebel’s perceptions of the relevance of regional connectivity in the north-western Mediterranean due to Rome’s military needs are essentially correct, but not entirely for the reasons and for the chronology originally put forward in his celebrated book.

Traditionally, Latin terms such as civitas stipendiaria and stipendiarii have served, in modern scholarly works, to define Roman provincial subjects as regular and permanent taxpayers to the Roman Republic. However, this paper argues that alternative meanings for stipendiarius-not always related to Roman Republican taxation-may be uncovered from our literary and epigraphical evidence. When such texts are analysed in terms of their historical background, both the political and military dimensions of Roman Republican tax terminology appear to emerge.

This beautifully written and thought-provoking book addresses a fundamental question in Rome’s history of the Middle and Late Republic, and that is the relation between politics and the treasury during the core period of its empire building, or as its title more cogently puts it: power and public finance. It is indeed true that James Tan’s volume –partly based upon his own PhD dissertation (2011) but thoroughly updated and enlarged thereafter- provides the reader with much more than what he has originally intended to discuss according to his long Introduction. As a matter of fact, what he has finally accomplished is to rewrite some relevant chapters of Rome’s Republican history, through the particular looking glass of the financial perspective of an ancient Mediterranean polity fully engaged in a quest for hegemony.

on the policy of alliances proposed by the faction currently in power. In order to better understand the situation, several case studies from mainland Greece, the Aegean islands and Asia Minor (Delos-Athens, Cos-Rhodes, Pergamum and Heraclea Pontica) have been considered.

En un episodio muy conocido del inicio de las Guerras Mitridáticas, situado en el año 88 a.C. y en ocasiones llamado las ‘vísperas efesias’, Mitrídates VI Eupátor rey del Ponto (c.120-63 a.C.) incentivó y planificó el asesinato masivo de la considerable población de origen romano o itálico (Rhomaioi) que residía en las póleis de la provincia romana de Asia, recientemente invadida por sus ejércitos, en lo que supuso el inicio de una larga confrontación entre Roma y el Ponto durante el siguiente cuarto de siglo. Según confirman varios textos, el rey promovió y coordinó la matanza masiva de entre 80.000 y 150.000 de esos Rhomaioi . Diseñado y ejecutado con precisión el ataque se produjo en toda la región exactamente en el mismo día, muy probablemente gracias a la ayuda de espías pónticos y en estrecha colaboración con la población local de muchas ciudades y de algunas islas de la provincia romana de Asia, aunque fracasó en Rodas y en otras pocas ciudades . Es nuestra intención en este artículo ahondar en una de las posibles motivaciones que condujeron a Mitrídates a promover ese ataque. Pretendemos confrontar los datos ya conocidos sobre el alcance de la masacre con ciertas informaciones procedentes del epígrafe efesio que contiene el reglamento sobre la recaudación del portorium o télos en toda la provincia, y cuyo apartado más antiguo ha sido fechado pocos años después de estos hechos, aunque en realidad haya fosilizado prácticas documentadas en las décadas precedentes.

Des termes cornme praefectus praesidii ou 'phrourarchos'; ont, parmi d'autres, été employés pendant la République pour se référer aux responsabilités confiées a un représentant officiel romain chargé d'une garnison dans une ville, indépendarnment de son rangoLes garnisons ont entretenu un lien de plus en plus étroit avec la logistique de l'armée romaine, et aussi avec la conduite de la politique extérieure. Ces chefs de garnisons ont pu parfois agir en instruments politiques de l'impérialisme romain visa -vis des villes pérégrines dont ils avaient la charge. Abstract.-Terms such as praefectus praesidii or 'phrourarchos'; among others, have been used in order to describe the duties of the Republican officer in charge of a garrison settled in a town, independently of his personal status. A close link between garrisoning and the logistics of the Roman army and, up to a certain point, foreign politics has been equally established. In fact, those garrison chiefs may have played an active political role on behalf ofRoman Imperialism, whilst facing the non-Roman towns they were in charge of. Mots-clés.-Praefectus praesidii,phrourarchos, deditio, logistique romaine, garnison républicaine.

For millennia catastrophes, whether those caused by nature, or by human violence, have impacted on historical societies. In the Graeco-Roman world, as nowadays, the immediate consequences of such disasters only anticipated subsequent measures applied by the public authorities, or whoever was in charge thereafter. This volume originated in a workshop funded by a Spanish research grant.
Two theoretical chapters deal with the actual meaning of catastrophes for the ancients, as well as how distorted our view of the remote past may be when applying modern terminology such as ‘humanitarian crises’ to events in the ancient world. The following chapters seek to explore such topics as collateral damage in war, earthquake recovery, breakdown of interstate relations, deportation, and postwar policies implemented on defeated societies.

La historia de la presencia romana en la Península Ibérica, desde el desembarco en Ampurias con motivo de la Segunda Guerra Púnica (218 a.C.) y hasta la caída de Numancia (133), es la historia de su ejército, de sus acciones y de los daños colaterales. De acuerdo con el registro histórico, a los períodos de intensa actividad bélica siguieron otros de menor intensidad, en función de los resultados irregulares de una guerra que no fue planeada para ser tan larga como finalmente resultó. La República hizo un esfuerzo extraordinario para mantener a sus ejércitos en pleno funcionamiento, independientemente de su composición interna, de las necesidades logísticas y de una economía de guerra que consideraba a los indígenas como botín o potenciales reclutas auxiliares. Durante todo este período, las regiones de Hispania de más temprana pacificación, y en particular la costa del NE y su zona de influencia, jugaron un papel clave no sólo en relación con la logística militar, sino también con la capacidad de integración de las poblaciones locales al nuevo orden romano. Como se ha puesto de manifiesto recientemente en la monografía de F. Cadiou sobre el ejército romano en Hispania (Hibera en Miles de Terra, Madrid 2008), el establecimiento de guarniciones estuvo más relacionado con la necesidad de asegurar las líneas de suministro hacia los frentes de guerra interior que con el mantenimiento de un control político de los pueblos vencidos. De hecho, las bases romanas en el NE no sólo habrían cumplido tal propósito de manera eficiente, sino también habrían tenido un papel destacado en la organización del período de hibernada de las tropas, al final de las campañas anuales. Sin embargo, desde la caída de Numancia hasta el inicio de las guerras sertorianas (82), se detecta un hiato en la evidencia literaria sobre actividades bélicas, a excepción de casos aislados contra celtíberos y lusitanos. Este trabajo pretende aportar algo de luz a este panorama, en particular gracias al análisis, en su propio contexto histórico, de dos sitios arqueológicos (El Camp de les Lloses, Tona, Barcelona; y Montero 1, Camarasa, Lérida), que aportan información destacada sobre la estrategia de implantación militar romana en una de las áreas peninsulares de control inicial. Según los resultados preliminares, ambos sitios podrían haber sido puestos avanzados, relacionados con la logística y el reclutamiento. Su morfología, su cronología específica y período de actividad limitado, así como su cultura material muestran interesantes indicios para el estudio de la estrategia de implantación y del contexto general militar de la Hispania Citerior, a finales del siglo II a.C.
