Focusing on Timgad in the Severan period as a case study, it mainly engages with the city plan and its streets, the public buildings that lined them, and their honorific inscriptions. Based on top-down and bottom-up processes, it highlights how the built landscape was staged to create a memory of the urban space and its development, but also how the inhabitants themselves were able to contribute to fostering this memory through everyday urban practices.","PeriodicalId":40059,"journal":{"name":"Libyan Studies","volume":"53 1","pages":"129 - 141"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49134882","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}

During the Phoenician-Punic era, this site was described as a city/urban establishment with a harbour known as ‘Gaphara’. In late Roman times its name was most likely changed to ‘Minna Villa Marsi’, as the Marsi family of the aristocracy of Leptis Magna probably built a luxury residence (villa) and exploited the port to export olive products from its estates in the hinterland of Leptis Magna. In the Middle Ages, the site underwent another toponymic change to ‘Ras Chacra’ and became an official maritime station (port) on the shipping lanes. In the late Middle Ages, the ancient toponym ‘Gaphara’ reappeared again with a slight distortion as ‘Gasr Jafara/Djefara’. This last name was known when the site was already ruined and abandoned.","PeriodicalId":40059,"journal":{"name":"Libyan Studies","volume":"53 1","pages":"70 - 83"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47848209","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}

By looking at the transformations in the town's civic centre from the Mauretanian to Roman imperial period, the aim is to assess how the layout and function of public spaces and buildings were reshaped to respond to new ideas of monumentality. A range of research methodologies are applied to address this question, including architectural, archival, and archaeological analyses, as well as the use of 3D digital modelling. The case study of Sala is of particular importance, as it shows how certain pre-Roman monuments were kept in use within new public contexts, and how imperial-style, urban and architectural features were introduced in the town as part of trends that can be recognized across North Africa and the Roman Empire more broadly.","PeriodicalId":40059,"journal":{"name":"Libyan Studies","volume":"53 1","pages":"97 - 116"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46784470","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}

In this paper a specific find from Tomb A is presented, as it is a rare example of a Mithraic relief from a private funerary context. The find has only previously been published for the translation and presentation of the inscription; however, an analysis and interpretation of the relief together with the inscription has never been tackled. The very fragmentary lid is made of white marble, presenting a very lively iconographic sequence of Mithraic schemata, in combination with a metrical inscription within a central tabula ansata. The find context is particularly monumental and is characterized by two Temple Tombs built in ashlar masonry located on the plateau of Ain Hofra overlooking the wadi (canyon) and the fertile terraces below. This multidisciplinary article looks at the iconographic elements, the epigraphic implications and the monumental context of the Mithraic reliefs.","PeriodicalId":40059,"journal":{"name":"Libyan Studies","volume":"53 1","pages":"16 - 36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42448095","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}

{"title":"Response to Saul Kelly's review of FLYING OVER ZERZURA: ITALIAN MILITARIES IN SEARCH OF THE UNKNOWN By Roberto Chiarvetto, Alessandro Menardi Noguera and Michele Soffiantini","authors":"Roberto Chiarvetto, Michele Soffiantini","doi":"10.1017/lis.2022.10","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/lis.2022.10","url":null,"abstract":"344). L’auteur annexe à son travail, sa traduction du S. Denis 17, revue et corrigée par Valérie Fauvinet-Ranson (345–348). La question du paganisme tardo-antique est également au centre de l’article de Christophe J. Goddard qui se concentre sur les cérémonies publicae. La mutation des témoignes littéraires, épigraphiques et juridiques sur l’organisation de ces fêtes pousse l’auteur à remettre en question l’idée selon laquelle la pietas païenne se serait privatisée puis aurait disparu du champ public des cités tardo-antique de la pars occidentalis de l’Empire (349–377). Le premier article du dernier chapitre de l’ouvrage, rédigé par Arbia Hilali, expose le témoignage de certains soldats qui ont développé un certain goût pour le martyre, avant d’examiner le débat qu’a suscité ce comportement identitaire au sein des communautés chrétiennes de l’Afrique romaine tardive (381–398). L’article suivant nous décrit fort bien l’évolution sémantique du terme martyr (μάρτυς), qui dès le II siècle, prend un sens typiquement chrétien. D’après Francois-Xavier Romanacce, l’Église antique n’a pas défini le martyr, pas plus qu’elle n’a distingué entre les individus persécutés pour leur foi, ni conçu de procédure visant à leur reconnaître un titre spécifique. Cette absence de définition institutionnelle ne doit rien à une méconnaissance des outils juridique et encore moins à un manque d’intérêts pour les martyrs. Mais elle s’explique selon l’auteur, qui suit ici la démarche de l’historien américain Glen Bowersock, par la place croissante accordée aux martyrs dans le quotidien des différentes communautés chrétiennes de l’Empire romain (399–439). Vient par la suite l’article de Steeve Bélanger qui analyse les significations «d’être chrétien» au temps d’Augustin selon le sermon Dolbeau 26. Prêché par l’évêque d’Hippone en 404 lors les Calendes de janvier, probablement à Hippo Regius ou à Carthage, ce sermon, le plus long des sermons augustiniens, a permis à l’auteur de décortiquer la méthode augustinienne pour influencer le comportement de ses ouailles dans un contexte festif en rappelant les significations «d’être chrétien» dans une société en métamorphose (467–487). L’ouvrage se termine par un article de Julio Cesar Magalhães de Oliveira qui, dans la continuité de sa thèse soutenue sous la direction de C. Lepelley, analyse la mobilisation populaire dans les conflits religieux en Afrique vandale (489–495). Suivent par la suite une annexe, composée de trois sous-parties, qui offre au lecteur une idée générale sur la bibliothèque et les archives de Claude Lepelley déposées à la MSH Mondes de l’Université Paris-Nanterre (517–519); une bibliographie mise à jour du grand historien français (539–550) et un article, encore inédit en français, de C. Lepelley qui faisait l’objet d’une conférence donnée à l’École française de Rome le 5 février 2002 (521–537).
