Abstract

The rugged, mountainous landscapes dividing the Parthian and Roman Empires routinely served as an arena for military campaigns and violent conflict between empires competing for territorial expansion. Local alliances were cyclically forged, broken, and mended, yet these interactions are rarely represented in the archaeological record. How were military campaigns conducted in the Caucasus frontier? How did foreign soldiers interact with local communities? This chapter examines the case study of an unusual first century CE burial that integrates aspects of both Roman and Parthian funerary practice and is associated with large-scale feasting events at the site of Oğlanqala in Naxçıvan, Azerbaijan. By integrating osteological and isotopic analyses with a regional approach to funerary practice, this chapter sheds light on underrepresented local experiences and intersectional identities in response to Roman campaigns.
公元一世纪帝国边疆的丧葬习俗与地方互动
将帕提亚帝国和罗马帝国分隔开来的崎岖多山的地形经常成为帝国之间争夺领土扩张的军事战役和暴力冲突的竞技场。地方联盟是周期性地形成、破裂和修复的,然而这些相互作用很少在考古记录中得到体现。高加索边境的军事行动是如何进行的?外国士兵如何与当地社区互动?本章考察了一个不寻常的公元一世纪墓葬的案例研究,该墓葬整合了罗马和帕提亚丧葬实践的各个方面,并与阿塞拜疆Naxçıvan遗址Oğlanqala的大型宴会活动有关。通过将骨骼学和同位素分析与殡葬实践的区域方法相结合,本章揭示了对罗马运动的回应中代表性不足的当地经验和交叉身份。
