It asks how the military community functioned on a day-to-day basis while living in an oasis environment. The study makes use of the extensive epigraphic material recovered at the fort. It includes not only 150 ostraca but also a poem documenting the travails of life in the desert, written by the commanding centurion and placed in the encampment’s bathhouse. Analysis of the available evidence identifies three immediate and persistent vulnerabilities that the occupation of Gholaia precipitated—namely, the oasis’s inadequacy to feed its residents, an insufficient supply of wood to meet the population’s demands, and the presence of endemic disease. It finds that the garrison was able to limit the danger imposed by the challenges, but not solve them on a permanent basis, through modifications to the normal practices of army life found at any legionary encampment in the empire. In so doing, the institution and operation of these behaviors on the part of the soldiers acquired newfound significance. The climatic context of the desert oasis imparted an immediacy to the performance of everyday life by making mere existence at the fort so perceptibly arduous.","PeriodicalId":36675,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Late Antiquity","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66953007","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}

Chalmers","doi":"10.1525/sla.2022.6.2.217","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1525/sla.2022.6.2.217","url":null,"abstract":"This article treats the intersection of a “peripheral people”—specifically Samaritan Israelites—with scholarly narratives of disaster concerning Late Antiquity. A disaster is not so much a one-off event as an ongoing series of collective experiences, patterned and repatterned in the movements of bodies and through shared—if unstable—narrative. This article, leaning into this phenomenological complexity, attends to the shared discourse of disaster as a practice of scholarly fields concerned with the study of Late Antiquity. I highlight a scholarly tendency to rely on disaster and its related tropes as it scripts the history of a group often classified as peripheral: Samaritan Israelites. In the case of the Samaritans, rich and varied evidence from Late Antiquity is compressed into a dominant portrayal of a group set on a collision course with the Roman Empire. Examining how this compression happens equips us to better identify the powers of historiographical curation, especially with respect to groups perceived as historical (and/or present) minorities, in shaping narratives. In this article, I ask both a historical question—when and whether disaster struck—and a historiographical one—what does it mean for disaster to provide us with a historiographical vocabulary at all, and to which groups do we tend to apply it?","PeriodicalId":36675,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Late Antiquity","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66952661","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}
