Autores: García Ruiz, María del Pilar (Autor de correspondencia)Revista: EMERITAISSN 0013-6662 Vol.89 N° 2 2021 págs. 335 - 360ResumenThis article is a comprehensive study of the meaning of consulship in the writings and political activity of Emperor Julian (331-363 AD). The consulship was probably the only Roman institution deemed worthy of recognition by the philo-Hellenic ruler. In the Panegyric in Honour of Empress Eusebia, Julian ponders the excellence of the Republican consulship as a form of government that could put an end to the excesses of tyranny, an issue that Claudius Mamertinus and Libanius echo in their consular speeches addressed to him. Being Augustus, Julian was inspired by the ancient consular ceremonies of Republican times to banish the symbols of the Constantinian monarchy and promote the symbolic value of the consulship to encourage the troops marching towards Persia.

Autores: García Ruiz, María del PilarRevista: CUADERNOS DE FILOLOGIA CLASICA. ESTUDIOS LATINOSISSN 1131-9062 Vol.41 N° 1 2021 págs. 75 - 96ResumenEste artículo tiene por objeto examinar desde el punto de vista historiográfico y literario el capítulo 11 del libro 22 de las Res Gestae de Amiano Marcelino. El principal suceso es la matanza del obispo Jorge de Capadocia a manos de una masa enfurecida. A diferencia de las restantes fuentes antiguas, Amiano Marcelino sitúa el hecho fuera de su contexto cronológico y lo vincula con la condena y muerte de Artemio, antiguo general de Egipto. Se tienen en cuenta los conceptos que Guy Sabbah llamó `técnicas de argumentación¿, una serie de recursos retóricos con los que el autor de las RG dosifica la información en pro de una `argumentación latente¿. El análisis de los textos en esta clave interpretativa permite vislumbrar de qué manera Amiano salvaguarda la imagen de Juliano como juez justo.

Autores: Sánchez-Ostiz Gutiérrez, Álvaro (Autor de correspondencia)Revista: PHILOLOGUSISSN 0031-7985 Vol.165 N° 2 2021 págs. 273 - 294ResumenThis article proposes an interpretation of Claudian's preface to his Panegyric for Mallius Theodorus that places the poem in the communicative context of its recitation and in the literary frame of the panegyric. An analysis of the political messages in both poems, the panegyric and its brief ,paratext', reveals that the preface consistently uses the myth of the two eagles of Jupiter to indicate symbolically that the new consul is still upholding ,genuine' Hellenic culture in the West. This interpretation illustrates how Claudian's poems for the new consul of 399 assume the Greek cultural heritage to be a part of the Roman identity and that they play a significant role in the poet's agenda between 397-400, by progressively unveiling the anti-Byzantinism of the Western court.

Autores: Blanco Pérez, AitorRevista: HISTORIA - ZEITSCHRIFT FUR ALTE GESCHICHTEISSN 0018-2311 Vol.70 N° 1 2021 págs. 116 - 132ResumenThe political communities of western Asia Minor produced an enormous amount of inscriptions under Roman rule. For the period between AD 260 and 280, however, the epigraphic habit falls dramatically and this situation largely continues in the 4th and 5th centuries. The aim of this paper is to analyse the phenomenon in the transitional Tetrarchic age, when a notable increase in testimony, particularly milestones and texts related to the new regime (e.g. 'Edict of Prices'), can be observed. My study of continuities and changes concludes that the propagandistic efforts under the Tetrarchs did not ultimately coincide with a full reactivation of civic epigraphic culture and this new scenario should remain fundamental for our assessment of Late Antiquity in the region.

Autores: Blanco Pérez, AitorTítulo: Salvo iure gentium: Roman Citizenship and Civic Life before and after the Constitutio AntoninianaRevista: AL-MASAQ: ISLAM AND THE MEDIEVAL MEDITERRANEANISSN 0950-3110 Vol.32 N° 1 2020 págs. 4 - 17ResumenThis article explores the relationship between Roman citizenship and the maintenance of civic life as an essential factor for the continuity of urban centres in the eastern Mediterranean between the imperial period and Late Antiquity. Augustus had already specified that Roman citizens from Cyrenaica had to provide local contributions (???????????) in their cities of origin as Greeks. Marcus Aurelius and Commodus later remarked in the Tabula Banasitana that those enfranchised were not granted a reduction in the taxes paid to the Roman people and fiscus because ?the laws of the community remained intact? (salvo iure gentis). I argue that an analogous clause is conceivable in the Constitutio Antoniniana of Caracalla in AD 212. Taking Asia Minor as a case study and focusing on the cities of Termessos and Aphrodisias, I seek to assess the role of these new Roman citizens in the preservation of their places of origin during the third century.

In each case the textual testimonies and the solutions adopted in the critical editions by Lang (1881) and Torres (2018) are considered. A text is proposed for each case on the basis of the etymological and allegorizing method employed in the treaty.

Autores: Sánchez-Ostiz Gutiérrez, Álvaro (Autor de correspondencia)Revista: EMERITAISSN 0013-6662 Vol.87 N° 2 2019 págs. 317 - 339ResumenThis paper proposes that some structural discontinuities in the latest book by Ammianus can be explained because those sections were added to a first version of the text in a subsequent phase of composition and therefore do not depend on the main source: the digression on the Huns and Alans in XXXI 2, some sections of military narrative (XXXI 6.7-8, 8.7-8, 15.10 and 13) and the physiognomic note at the end of Valens' obituary. These sections are not entirely integrated into the narrative flow and add points inconsistent with the main arguments in the book XXXI. This helps better understand the historian's literary technique and some apparent inconsistencies in the last book of the Res Gestae.

Autores: Torres Guerra, JoséRevista: AITIAISSN 1775-4275 Vol.8 N° 2 2018ResumenWhoever wants to read Cornutus's Summary of the Greek Theological Traditions must still employ the old and controversial edition published by C. Lang in the Bibliotheca Teubneriana in 1881. My contribution first analyses the multifarious problems which vitiate Lang's edition. Its principal (and obvious) defect is the editor's proclivity to identify as interpolated many passages of the text without an objective reason. Once that the possibility of rescuing Cornutus's ipsissima verba ¿ as Lang intented ¿ is discarded, I present the materials on which a new critical edition of the Summary should be based. For this purpose it is underlined that the stemmatic analysis of Cornutus's forty manuscripts published by P. Krafft in 1975 must be taken as a point of departure. Then, some critical decisions by the new Cornutus's editor are proposed in relation to the linguistic form of the the transmitted text. It is likewise discussed the kind of conjectures that can be proposed to improve Cornutus's text as it is read in the manuscripts.

Hay, de un lado, un incremento exponencial del volumen de la producción científica en todos los órdenes (especializada o divulgación de más o menos calidad), y, de otro, una exigencia cada vez más perentoria de justificación de los estudios, una exigencia que afecta especialmente a las llamadas Humanidades. Bajo la doble presión de la proliferación y la justificación, los géneros ya venerables de la literatura académica que servían como invitación y/o introducción a los diferentes estudios...

Autores: Sánchez-Ostiz Gutiérrez, ÁlvaroLibro: Emperors and Emperorship in Late Antiquity: Images and NarrativesISSN 9789004446922 2021 págs. 112 - 135ResumenThe chapter is a narratological examination of three excursus in Ammianus' Res Gestae, that explain astronomical phenomena, and indirectly deal with Constantius' and Jovian's responses to premonitory signs. The historian implicitly contrasts them with Julian's reaction to divination, especially during the Persian campaign of 363. Those sections further specify the authorial voice of the historian and shape the narrator's idea of emperorship. The enquiry also underscores that Julian's centrality in Ammianus' narrative is disclosed in contrast with the other imperial characters: so, the depiction of Constantius II, Jovian, Valentinian, and Valens requires that of Julian, whereas the narrative of Julian only makes full sense in the interaction with the other characters

Autores: Sánchez-Ostiz Gutiérrez, ÁlvaroTítulo: Character education at any age? Cicero on the lifelong pursuit of intellectual and moral virtue 1Libro: Literature and character education in universities: theory, method, and text analysisISSN 9781003162209 2021 págs. 65 - 81ResumenCicero regards character education both as a main goal of the intellectual life and as an important basis for rhetorical training of the young elite, in line with the Isocratean oratorical tradition of liberal arts. In contrast, several points from his works belonging to different periods and literary genres underscore that liberal studies are suitable for any age. This chapter analyses how Cicero stresses in three of his works (In defence of the poet Archias, On the orator and On old age) that character education for the good man, i.e. the ideal orator and philosopher engaged in public life, is not only a task for initial stages of instruction but also should encompass a lifelong habit of cultivating intellectual and moral virtue. Cicero¿s viewpoints in this respect could shed some light on the aims of contemporary core curricula, the mission of teachers involved in such programs and recent debate on the habits of lifelong learning.

Autores: Blanco Pérez, AitorLibro: Legal engagement: The reception of Roman law and tribunals by Jews and other inhabitants of the EmpireISSN 9782728314652 2021 págs. 159 - 174ResumenVisits by Roman emperors provided provincials with exceptional opportunities to present their pleas. Epigraphic evidence from the high imperial period and particularly the 3rd century CE sheds light on this process of petition and response. The aim of the present paper is to study these inscriptions in order to understand the application and reception of Roman justice in the eastern provinces of the empire. Particular attention is devoted to noteworthy testimonies, such as the bilingual minutes from Dmeir (Syria), the petition of Skaptopara in Thrace, and related texts from Lydia. The essay will argue that the presence and legally binding decisions of emperors such as Diocletian could transform the perception of Roman rule among local populations, including the Jews.

Autores: Torres Guerra, JoséISSN 978-84-9171-390-6 2019ResumenEste libro presenta una visión panorámica de los más de 1500 años de literatura griega, la primera literatura europea. Desde el drama, la lírica y la narrativa, hasta la filosofía, la historia y la oratoria, cada género antiguo tienen su sitio en la vida de aquella cultura, y cada ocasión distinta de la vida colectiva tiene su propio género. Se recorren los periodos arcaico, clásico, helenístico e imperial para examinar las obras más importantes de la literatura griega antigua, sobre todo las creaciones que han dejado una huella clásica en la tradición literaria. Asimismo, se presta atención especial a los descubrimientos más recientes logrados a través de papiros y otros materiales. Esta introducción es una obra básica de consulta para estudiantes e investigadores del mundo griego antiguo, así como para todo el público interesado por la literatura y las raíces de nuestra tradición cultural.
