Excerpt: ...he became governor of Southern Spain--a fact which is made quite clear by the papyrus--were disregarded, partly owing to the statement of Orosius (v. 4) that Fabius in his consulship (i.e. in B.c 142) fought against Viriathus, partly owing to an inference from Appian, Iber. 67, where the opening words Tou d" Cvhwos Itovs Kui/i-j piv S d8cpbs Ai/hxuu'oo $d/3iof Mdfcipot StpoviKtavos (Ai/nXiai6t MS.) rjkBtv iv rf)v arpaTtyyiav SuiSoot have in connexion with the preceding events been supposed to refer to B.c. 142. To leave for the moment the question which year Appian meant by Toc V$n-or frour, his account of Fabius Servilianus' achievements accords well enough with that of Livy. It is true that the successes of Fabius in Appian's account seem to belong to the later rather than to the earlier part of his governorship, but it is not difficult to suppose that Appian omitted to record some trifling successes such as the capture of Baccia mentioned by Orosius (/. c), probably one of the urbes which were expugnatat according to Epit. 53; cf. 11. 171-2. Two campaigns are implied by Appian, as is more clearly stated by Livy; but Appian does not call Servilianus consul. Where the facts known from Livy conflict seriously with at any rate the present text of Appian is in the events which took place between the departure of Fabius Maximus Aemilianus and the arrival of Fabius Maximus Servilianus. The governorship of Aemilianus is expressly stated by Appian to have lasted two years (Iter. 65). Aemilianus was consul in B.c. 145, and that the years of his governorship were B.c 145-4 is unquestionable; cf. Epit. 52 tantumque timoris is hoslis intulit ut adversus cum consulari opus esse/ et duce et exercilu. The disaster to Plautius...

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1904 edition. Excerpt: ...if KoiWior in Ibcr. 66-7 is a corruption of Aovaot or KauciXtor, there will be no conflict between Livy and Appian as to the predecessor of Fabius Servilianus. Dismissing therefore the supposed Quinctius, there still remains the governorship of Southern Spain for B.C. 143 to be accounted for. The passage in Appian referring to Aemilianus' successor Kourou Ylo/xniuv ACXou is obviously quite corrupt. The insertion of Tov before ASXov (Schweighauser, followed by Mendelssohn) does little to mend matters. There is no point in the mention of the father's praenomen and there is clearly a confusion in the text between this person and the KwWu nojiT7jio ACXu mentioned mlber. 76. That Q. Pompeiuswas consul in B.c 141 and succeeded Q. Metellus as governor of Northern Spain in the same year (cf. 1. 174). His cognomen was Rufus, so that editors bracket AffXp in ch. 76. In any case this Quintus Pompeius cannot be the successor of Aemilianus in B.c 143, and the best course seems to be to fall back on the statement of Valerius Maximus (ix. 3. 7, v. sup.) that Q. Metellus governed utramque Hispaniam. Seeing that Aemilianus governed both provinces for two years, there is not the least difficulty in supposing that his successor did the same for one, but that in the second year a separate governor was sent to the Southern province. On this hypothesis we would suggest that Kourou no/imji'ou AvXou in Jber. 65 is corrupt for Kotmov KnixtX/ou MTiXXou, and that the following words 6 Si dS(p6s atrov Ma i/ior At'/uXtaitSr, which are simply omitted by editors, really contained a reference to the brother of Q. Metellus, L. Metellus. The sentence is in that case incomplete and the lacuna may well have supplied some details about the events of B.c 143-2...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presents 200 hitherto unpub. astronomical texts & horoscopes written in Greek on papyrus, which were excavated a century ago in the rubbish heaps of Oxyrhynchus, a district capital of Roman Egypt. Through these documents we obtain the first coherent picture of the range of astronomical activity, chiefly in the service of astrology, during the Roman Empire. The astronomy of this period turns out to have been much more varied than we previously thought, with Babylonian arithmetical methods of prediction coexisting with tables based on geometrical models of orbits. Editions of the texts are accomp. by facing translations & explanatory & philological commentaries. The intro. provides the first comprehensive treatment of astronomical papyri, explaining their contents & purpose, the underlying astronomical theories, & strategies for analyzing & dating them. Tables & graphs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How an ancient rubbish dump has given us a unique view of life 2,000 years ago In 1897 two Oxford archaeologists began digging a mound south of Cairo. Ten years later, they had uncovered 500,000 fragments of papyri. Shipped back to Oxford, the meticulous and scholarly work of deciphering these fragments began. It is still going on today. As well as Christian writings from totally unknown gospels and Greek poems not seen by human eyes since the fall of Rome, there are tax returns, petitions, private letters, sales documents, leases, wills and shopping lists. What they found was the entire life of a flourishing market-town - Oxyrhynchos ( the `city of the sharp-nosed fish' ), - encapsulated in its waste paper. The total lack of rain in this part of Egypt had preserved the papyrus beneath the sand, as nowhere else in the Roman Empire. We hear the voices of barbers, bee-keepers and boat-makers, dyers and donkey-drivers, weavers and wine-merchants, set against the great events of late antiquity: the rise and fall of the Roman Empire and the coming of Christianity. The result is an extraordinary and unique picture of everyday life in the Nile Valley between Alexander the Great in 300 BC and the Arab conquest a thousand years later.
