For Virgil, Catiline is obviously a villain and a symbol of civil strife. This attitude however doesn't extend to other members of the gens Sergia since their legendary ancestor Sergestus in spite of his somewhat questionable behaviour during the funerary ship race, is still depicted as one of Aeneas' main and most loyal companions. Thus Virgil possibly wanted to show that the Sergii shouldn't be blamed for Catiline's crimes and that they too can be good citizens and loyal servants to the state just as Sergestus was to his leader.","PeriodicalId":331199,"journal":{"name":"Ancient World and Archaeology","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114170838","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}

BC up to the beginning of the II cent. AD. The author considers that the client kingdoms were not buffer states from the current viewpoint. In Strabo’s and other ancient authors’ consideration those kingdoms were the organic parts of the Roman Empire. Mutual relations between Rome and the client kings were created on the basis of traditional relationship of patronatus and clientela. The system of client kingdoms was formed during the rule of Augustus. The founder of Principate in the course of his internal and foreign policy leant on the vassal kings, many of whom during their youth lived, brought up and educated in Rome. The Roman henchmen who took their thrones in the neighboring states, as a rule, not for long kept the power in their hands: usually they were overthrown by the leaders of local elites. Those client kings, who ruled inside the frontiers of the Roman Empire, generally coped well with their responsibility: in peacetime they provided the rule of law in their kingdoms and in case of war supplied the Roman troops with everything necessary. Nevertheless, Augustus’ successors eliminated the most of client kingdoms, having replaced the principle of vassalage by the practice of direct control. That policy was being realized as part of a general trend towards strengthening of the imperial power. As a result by the beginning of the II cent. BC many client kings lost their thrones, and their kingdoms were turned into provinces of the Roman Empire.","PeriodicalId":331199,"journal":{"name":"Ancient World and Archaeology","volume":"314 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115022760","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}

His main mistake was common to the Romans, who underestimated the capabilities of horse archers. It was the brilliantly realized combined use of horse archers and heavy cavalry that ensured the Parthians victory at Carrah. However, the significance of this victory should not be overestimated. It did not lead to a radical restructuring of international relations in the East. And the slogan \"revenge for Crassus\" becomes relevant only a decade and a half after his death.","PeriodicalId":331199,"journal":{"name":"Ancient World and Archaeology","volume":"123 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123340307","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}
