Ancient Greek historians wrote about marvellous weapons dedicated in sanctuaries, and they mentioned trophy monuments erected on the battlefield, whose role was to delight the war Gods who helped the victorious army to defeat their enemies. The research of ancient trophy monuments needs to go back in time for the most important sources (archaeological proofs and literary evidences) regarding the first trophies from history. This paper is an attempt to reiterate the issues of the trophies, including their resemblance with the human body.","PeriodicalId":244215,"journal":{"name":"Revista CICSA online, Serie Nouă","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125788250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, whereas the economic dependence of ancient towns (viewed as consumer centres) on the resources of their surrounding rural areas is also stated, in order to supplement this theory sketched by Moses Finley four decades ago the phenomenon of separation between the urban centre and its traditional hinterland in 5th century Athens is investigated, as a direct consequence of sea trade, of the new public and private income sources and especially of the access to new arable land, other than that of Attika. The main reason of this evolution is represented by the Athenian maritime supremacy in the Aegean, which boosted the means of the Athenian elites and demos alike to acquire wealth.","PeriodicalId":244215,"journal":{"name":"Revista CICSA online, Serie Nouă","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126056239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An iconographic investigation of the representation of the god Fufluns on Etruscan mirrors, the category of archaeological sources that will be the main focus of this paper, will indicate that, within the research on the issue of the juxtaposition of Greek and Etruscan characteristics in the creation of the image of this god, an important number of purely Etruscan elements should be emphasized since they allude towards a powerful Etruscan contribution and (re)interpretation of certain aspects of this deity. Among the results, we can include not only the powerful chthonic attributes of Fufluns- Dionysus himself, but also of his retinue and of his companions, as well as his connection to purely local companions or the appearance of certain mythological episodes of a most probable Etruscan origin, episodes seemingly unacknowledged throughout the Greek world.","PeriodicalId":244215,"journal":{"name":"Revista CICSA online, Serie Nouă","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121661163","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among them, some tried to explain the causes of Romanian corruption and usually reached a fatalistic conclusion. My article focuses on the theories of historical origins of Romanian corruption. The first is the transition period from communism to democracy, which first brought societal anomy and the arbitrary or discretionary redistribution of power and resources. This state of affairs revealed older corrupt practices, but also encouraged more subversive corruption configurations. Another theory refers to the communist practices and values. I make an observation on the contradictory nature of corruption in this era: Corruption had a negative effect on the communist state, but it led to the achievement of ambitious results through the informal network. There is also a question I ask: is it possible for corruption to be legitimate when the government becomes illegitimate? The last theory on the origin of Romanian corruption is the experience of Balkanism and Orientalism and I try to discuss the scientific fairness in analysing corruption by referring to a historical moment that does not recognize it as such.In the years of communism, folklore has stood for an important propagandistic instrument for remodelling the thought patterns of the masses. Censorship tucked away any form of creation that was not in accordance with the process of building socialism. My approach proposes a critical analysis, from an anthropological perspective on the setting up of new life songs and a representation of how folklore was used for propaganda purposes in the years of communism.","PeriodicalId":244215,"journal":{"name":"Revista CICSA online, Serie Nouă","volume":"169 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132590035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
