Extract

This survey is intended primarily to assess the impact on Roman studies in general of recent work in Roman epigraphy — whether newly published inscriptions, revised editions, or texts that have been reconsidered or newly analysed in the light of specific themes. We mean to draw attention to those epigraphic studies that make a significant contribution, in particular, to Roman history. Hence the considerable space we devote below to the newly published Senatus Consultum on Cnaeus Piso, of which any future study of the reign of Tiberius (or of the relations between senate and emperor in the early Principate) will have to take account. Other highlights include a centurion's own reflections (in verse) on his unit's building works at Bu-Njem in Tripolitania; a major revision of the inscribed texts of Roman laws; the first known letter of Lucullus; and a new text from Messene orchestrating the city's responses to the death of Augustus. At the same time, in this introduction, we note one or two developments in recent epigraphic practice. Though these aspects are necessarily more technical, we include them in order to help readers to find the epigraphic data they might need (publication is increasingly diverse, and in an ever wider range of media); and then to assess the texts, the dates, and the conclusions the epigraphists are offering. ‘What you get’ in epigraphy is not necessarily ‘what you see’.

20 Among the improvements we note especially an explicit set of criteria for the inclusion of Greek inscriptions and a list of the authors of each notice. The number of entries has risen from 1,044 in 1990 to 1,945 m 1992; much of this increase is due to funeraries. Note also J.-M. Lassère, Tables générales de l'Année Épigraphique VIIe série (1961–80) (1992).

There are also some thematic compilations, especially New Documents Illustrating Early Christianity, ed. G. H. R. Horsley, and The Bulletin of Judaeo-Greek Studies (neither confined to inscriptions).

26 See the proposals in Horsley, G. H. R. and Lee, J. A. L., Epigraphica 56 (1994), 129–69Google Scholar; some of which are ugly and confusing, and seem unnecessary departures from the familiar: BE is, for example, proposed for Bull.ép.

31 Alföldy, G., ZPE 94 (1992), 231–48Google Scholar, with AE 1992, no. 1034 for some detailed criticism. Analogous cases are Alföldy's proposed restorations of the dedicatory inscription of the temple of Mars Ultor (Studi sull'epigrafia (above, n. 7), 30 = AE 1992, no. 161) and of the Flavian amphitheatre (ZPE 109 (1995), 195226Google Scholar) at Rome; and similarly that for the amphitheatre at Tarragona by A. Beltrán Martínez and F. Beltrán Lloris, El anfiteatro del Tárraco (1991), 61–5 no. 5 = HAE 880; see Hispania Epigraphica 4 (1994)Google Scholar, no. 842. For another startling and speculative reconstruction (of AE 1985, no. 50), Alföldy, ibid., 127 = AE 1992, no. 182; formerly taken to refer to Vipsania's property in the ager Vaticanus, he turns it into Drusus' epitaph for his mother, A.D. 20.

32 A case in point — but outside our period — is the new Hamaxitos copy of the Athenian Standards Decree, which seems decisively to support Mattingly's arguments about the dating of fifth-century Athenian imperial texts (SEG 1988, 1251 with Mattingly, H., Klio 75 (1993), 99102CrossRefGoogle Scholar).

33 ed, M. H. Crawford .), Roman Statutes (1996)Google Scholar. The criteria of selection are given at 1, 2–4. The epigraphically-attested texts are in vol. 1; nos 1–36, of which twenty-five are mere fragments, are Republican. Vol. 2 contains leges known from literary sources (the XII Tables are pp. 555–721, no. 40); cf. D. Flach (ed.), with S. von der Lahr, Die Gesetze der frühen Römischen Republik (1994), with another version.

35 ‘Die Zahl republikanischer Inschriften wächst jeden Tag’, so Solin, H., Arctos 25 (1991), 146–7Google Scholar, prefacing his critical remarks on commonly-employed dating criteria. Texts from the very early period remain of course extremely rare and — beware the Lapis Satricanus — extremely difficult to interpret. A fascicle of Lampas 29,1 (Jan.–Feb., 1996)Google Scholar is devoted to the Lapis Satricanus, with conflicting interpretations by J. de Waele, D. J. Waarsenburg and H. S. Versnel (English summaries); note also Levi, M. A., RIDA3 22 (1995), 195219Google Scholar.

The colleges included clerks from all the different types of apparitores, and evidently co-existed with the more familiar decurial system; they are not heard of after the Augustan period.

46 The text also reveals that the usual assumptions about the representation of cities and ethne in the Council must be revised. On Roman arbitration of disputes after 168, Scuderi, R., Athenaeum 79 (1991), 371415Google Scholar.

Ferrary, Philhéllenisme et impérialisme (1988), 189–90 and n. 228. A major value of the article is to remind us of the role that supplements have played in the interpretation of the text.

48 cf. also R. M. Kallet-Marx, Hegemony to Empire (1995), esp. chs 1–3, stressing the low level of Roman intervention in Greece 144–88 Knoepfler, B.C. D., MH 48 (1991), 252–80Google Scholar, argues on the basis of SEG 26:1034–5 that Eretria may have been pro-Roman during the Achaean revolt; also remarks on L. Mummius and the Greeks.

49 Habicht, C., MDAI(A) 105 (1990), 259–68Google Scholar = SEG 40:736, to be referred to Manlius Vulso's verdict in favour of Samos in 188 B.C. (I.Priene 41.4–7 etc.). P. Bruneau has defended his plausible view that I.Délos 1778, on a statue-base to Roma, is to be dated c. 150–125 B.C., BCH 115 (1991), 379–86Google Scholar. Note the first volume of the Index to the inscriptions of Delos: J. Tréheux, Inscr. de Délos, Index 1: Les étrangers à l'exclusion des Athéniens de la clérouchie et des Romains (1992).

51 See our last survey, JRS 83 (1993), 134Google Scholar; Ferarry, J.-L., CRAI (1991), 557–77Google Scholar, on SEG 39:1243, with an important discussion of the rights of civitates liberae in the period 130–110 B.C. in the context of the decree for Menippus (1244).

52 Sanders, G. D. R. and Catling, R. W. V., ABSA 85 (1990), 327–32Google Scholar = SEG 40:657.

53 Vinogradov, J. G. and Wörrle, M., Chiron 22 (1992), 159–70Google Scholar, with important remarks by Ph. Gauthier, Bull.ép. 1993, no. 377.

54 cf. Plutarch, , Sulla 19.9–10Google Scholar; Camp, J.et al., AJA 96 (1992), 443–55CrossRefGoogle Scholar = SEG 41:448 = M. Sève, Bull.ép. 1993, no. 96. For an honorific inscription to Euphranor, son of the Rhodian Damagoras who distinguished himself in the same war (Appian, Mithr. 25; Plut., Lucull. 3.89Google Scholar), see Kontorini, V., Chiron 23 (1993), 8399Google Scholar. The son may well be the Rhodian navarch who defeated the Egyptian fleet before Alexandria, in 48 B.C. (Bell. Alex. 15.1–5Google Scholar; for his fate, 25 –3–6).

55 Sayar, M. H., Siewert, P. and Taeuber, H., Tyche 9 (1994), 113–30Google Scholar. The round letters seem to have been formed with dividers, a technique rare in late Hellenistic epigraphy (e.g. IOlymp. 530, 64 B.C.) but increasingly affected by late Republican cutters in Italy.

57 The letter of ?Sulla, which includes the very unusual formula κατὰ τὴν πα[ρ]άκλησιν τὴν Λευκόλλου (‘according to the recommendation of Lucullus’, ll. 5–6), would date from 85 B.C. If Mopsuestia had not yet been sacked then, Justin's dating (40.1.4, 2.3) of the Parthian invasion to 86 can hardly be right (p. 128), and Appian, Syr. 48 and 70 (83 B.C.) must be preferred.

95 The components of that army are spelled out in detail: (a) the soldiers of the province of Raetia; (b) the Germaniciani (presumably those controlled by Postumus as ?governor of Germania Superior; (c) populares (perhaps the local populations).

96 So bearing out the view of J. F. Drinkwater (The Gallic Empire: Separatism and Community in the North-Western Provinces of the Roman Empire A.D. 260–274, Historia Supp. 52 (1987), 26) that ‘although Postumus revolted after the capture of Valerian I, he did not rebel because of this humiliation to Roman arms’; this view is supported also by a reconsideration of CIL VIII.12294 = 23877 = ILTun 665 (a ‘prosalute’ of Valerian, from Bisica, Afr. Procos.), confirming that Valerian is there ascribed nine regnal years — which, if not merely an error, suggests that he was still considered, at least in some places, Augustus after 10 December 260: Dupuis, X., MEFRA 104 (1992), 269CrossRefGoogle Scholar no. 12 = AE 1992, no. 1814. For the Iuthungi, see also below p. 237.

97 Lavagne CRAI 1994, 440–1; Drinkwater, op. cit. (n. 96), 89, citing the literary references. There remains considerable dispute on the exact chronology: Lavagne believes that the Iuthungi and Alamans invaded together and that the battle of Milan, in early spring 260, was what caused the Iuthungi to move back north to be caught at Augsburg by Genialis and Postumus in April; Bakker thinks that Gallienus defeated the Iuthungi on 24–5 March in Raetia, and defeated the Alamans at Milan in the latter part of 260.

100 Both bronzes were found through illegal exploration in the late 1980s; the findspot of frg. B is unconfirmed, and it may come from near El Tejar, prov. Córdoba. Four tiny fragments under four other sites are also known; a seventh, from Martos, is suspected by A. U. Stylow (at pp. 35–7).

101 Diplomatic copies of A, B on pp. 10–30; list of variants, 67–70. A is arranged in four cols with a heading in larger letters presumably added at Irni (cf. p. 126); the letters were painted before being incised. B, in two columns, is much less completely preserved; instead of a heading, the first three lines of the text are written in larger letters.

102 The remainder, ll. 165–73, concerns the arrangements for publication — unlike the Tab. Siarensis, not in Italy nor in the coloniae, but in the celeberrima urbs of each province, and ad signa in the legionary winter-quarters — a sure sign of the need to placate the soldiery. It ends, 11. 174–6, with a subscriptio by Tiberius authorizing the placing of the SC in the state archives. The document thus synthesizes at least seven or eight different senatus consulta passed on the same day.

103 The commentary on Tac., Ann. 3 by A. J. Woodman and R. H. Martin (1996), takes full account of the find.

105 Ann. 3.14.4; cf. 16.1. But the Senate, of course, did know the arguments for the defence, and the letters between Germanicus and Piso.

106 The Senate was also the prisoner of its earlier decisions concerning Germanicus, in particular the SC that preceded the Lex Valeria Aurelia.

107 Here the text makes its sole reference to the story that Piso had murdered Germanicus, putting the charge into the dead man's mouth (27–8); cf. Tac., Ann. 3.14.1.

108 Cn. Calpurnius Piso iun. is advised to change his praenomen (on similar cases, Solin, H., Tyche 10 (1995), 185210Google Scholar), but essentially neither son is held responsible, or hindered in his career, and each is to receive half of Piso's sequestered property, with the chief exception of an estate in Hillyrico, which is to become Imperial because of the intolerable behaviour towards the neighbours on the part of Piso's freedman and slaves (ll. 85–90). Munatia Plancina is condemned but forgiven because Livia has intervened for her (ll. 109–20).

109 On general issues: see Eck, W.

110 Eck, op. cit. (n. 99), 71–107.

111 This necessitates a change to the text of Tacitus, Ann. 3.16.5 (M. Piso to Cn.).

114 viz. M. Pompeius M.f. Teret. Priscus (Eck, op. cit. (n. 99), 92); and C. Arrenus C.f. Gal. Gallus. Another witness, L. Nonius Asprenas, son of cos. suff. A.D. 6, already gives his tribe as Pomptina — the earliest previously-known evidence for the change of tribe of this family was IRT no. 346. ‘Aulus', the quaestor principis mentioned in Tiberius’ subscriptio, is probably the Aulus Plautius cos. suff. 29, who conquered Britain (important remarks on his family and career, 103–6). Copy A of the SC also gives the praenomen of Vibius Serenus, procos. Baet., as N., which means a change to the text at Tac., , Ann. 2.30.1Google Scholar.

115 Tacitus, , Ann. 2.77.1Google Scholar, mentions only Domitius Celer among Piso's advisers. The SC describes them as ‘omnium maleficiorum socii ac ministri’ (ll. 120–1). Although senatorial Visellii and Sempronii are known, they may be taken to have been equestrians.

116 Eck, op. cit. (n. 99), 231, warns, however, against the assumption that this praetor was responsible for carrying out the judgement after all trials for maiestas. It is not clear whether interdictio means simply banishment or, as most recent commentators have supposed, is a periphrasis for execution. Eck inclines to the former.
