What follows is not at all new. Many have identified Roman historical and historiographical roots, connections, and even parallels with Greek history and historians. 1 What follows reiterates those connections, explicitly by assessing how Herodotus presented his inquiries to his Greek audience, laying the foundations for the discipline of historia, and then by examining specifically the story of the Fabii at the Cremera in Livy, Dionysius and Diodorus. Through this one historical example, I hope to show that the roots of genuine historical thought can be found in the sources of our sources for early Roman traditions. Despite the fact that these traditions appear in works written much later than the events they describe, the nature of the stories preserved in our extant accounts suggests similar historiographical roots and interest as those preserved by Herodotus for the Greeks in the stories he told in his Histories.","PeriodicalId":41516,"journal":{"name":"Antichthon","volume":"51 1","pages":"21 - 32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2017-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1017/ann.2017.4","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41979389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Richardson","doi":"10.1017/ANN.2017.7","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/ANN.2017.7","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract While the general absence of Rome’s nobility from the traditions of the regal period has often been noted, the nobility’s prompt appearance at the beginning of the republican period has elicited little comment. This paper argues that the nobility’s appearance is more significant than its earlier absence, precisely on account of its very promptness and also because the nobility appears primarily with the consulship. Given the special importance that the consulship later came to have, following the emergence of Rome’s office-holding nobility, these circumstances inevitably raise questions about the value of the early consular fasti, and indeed even about the whole premise on which the early fasti are based, namely that the consulship was established immediately after the expulsion of the kings. It is argued here that this premise is anachronistic, and that the early consular fasti are unreliable and often tendentious; it is further argued that this premise is also responsible for some of the confusion surrounding the mysterious consular tribunate. The consular tribunate was a magistracy about which ancient writers quite clearly knew very little, and their ignorance and the inconsistencies in what they had to say about the tribunate inevitably undermine their claim to possess better and more detailed information about earlier times.","PeriodicalId":41516,"journal":{"name":"Antichthon","volume":"51 1","pages":"77 - 100"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2017-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1017/ANN.2017.7","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46348980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Marshall","doi":"10.1017/ann.2016.1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/ann.2016.1","url":null,"abstract":"In the first half of the 1960s there were several groups putting forward proposals to establish a wider-based, academic organisation to promote Classics and Ancient World Studies. There had been in existence for many years state Classical Associations, based on the model of, and affiliated to, the U.K. Classical Association, but these were, and still are, comprised of a different range of members – academics, schoolteachers, and interested persons from the general public – and, being located primarily in the state capital cities, they had a local orientation. What the new groups were looking for was a more ‘professional’ organisation which would be attractive to academics, and in particular they focussed on the desire to set up a national academic journal to promote their disciplines of Classics and Ancient World Studies. To some extent university Classics staff had been offered support from a body called AULLA (‘Australasian Universities Language and Literature Association’), which had been formed in 1957 and which, as its name implied, covered both Australia and New Zealand. AULLA met in Congress every 18 months to two years in either Australia or New Zealand. The Congresses regularly had a Classics Section, with a local convenor who arranged for the giving of papers by university staff offering them. AULLA also published a journal, AUMLA, which arose out of the Australasian Universities Modern Languages Association (the forerunner of AULLA); the name implies its orientation, and the journal was not seen as an entirely congenial location for articles on Greek and Roman topics, though such did appear from time to time. Ancient Historians had been partially catered for by the Australian and New Zealand Association for the Advancement of Science (ANZAAS). It was a more powerful organisation – it did have the word ‘Science’ in it, after all – because it had the ear of government. It met in Congress every year or so at a host university; occasionally there would be a section for Archaeology (mainly Australian) or for Ancient World Studies, but it would depend on someone from the host university taking on the role of organising such a section. There was no publication to which staff in universities could submit articles, though abstracts of papers presented at ANZAAS Congresses could be collectively published afterwards. One of the groups which met in the 1960s to create a new organisation was convened on the initiative of the enthusiastic but eccentric Godfrey Tanner, from Classics in the (then) University College of Newcastle. Under his guidance an organisation called ‘The N.S.W and A.C.T. Joint Committee’","PeriodicalId":41516,"journal":{"name":"Antichthon","volume":"50 1","pages":"i - vii"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1017/ann.2016.1","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"56965358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tan","doi":"10.1017/ann.2016.6","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/ann.2016.6","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract The censors of 154/3 commissioned a stone theatre which was almost completed when it was demolished on the exhortations of P. Cornelius Scipio Nasica. The sources suggest that this destruction was as late as 151 or 150. Though an array of scholars has seised on Nasica’s claims that a theatre would soften Rome’s moral strength, there has been no satisfactory explanation of this peculiarly long delay between commencement of construction and final demolition. Something must have happened between 153 and 151 which would explain the late objection. This article proposes that Nasica’s awakening was spurred by the death of the princeps senatus and pontifex maximus, M. Aemilius Lepidus. The vacuum left by his death led Nasica to ‘audition’ for the role as Rome’s new leading voice. To demonstrate his worthiness, however, he needed a cause, and the widespread refusals to serve in the Spanish campaign of 151 offered just such an opportunity. Nasica seised upon the most shocking political crisis of the times – the refusal of young men to enlist – in order to parade his guardianship of Rome’s moral worth, and the destruction of a costly and undoubtedly popular theatre constituted the bravura performance he needed.","PeriodicalId":41516,"journal":{"name":"Antichthon","volume":"124 1","pages":"70 - 79"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1017/ann.2016.6","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"56965719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Papadodima","doi":"10.1017/ann.2016.4","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/ann.2016.4","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract In accordance with its notoriously rich plot, Phoenician Women explores diverse aspects of fear that affect, and are thematised by, various parties at different stages of the plot. 1 Against the background of a virtually ‘irrational’ and inescapable divine necessity (treated as a source of dread in itself), Euripides presents the play’s central crisis as being largely determined by rational and controlled decision-making, within an array of moral disputes that enter the scene. The agents’ decision-making standardly comprises diverging, conflicting, or inconsistent attitudes towards fear and related emotions, such as shame (in both past and present). The rhetoric of fear thus reflects and further highlights the characters’ conflicting viewpoints, as well as Euripides’ trademark tendency to toy with his audience’s expectations and assumptions about ethical values and what is ‘right’. This article argues that his approach is substantially different from the Aeschylean treatment of the same myth (Seven against Thebes). By offering a concrete and abstract treatment of the situational anxieties over war and familial feud, Euripides’ rhetoric of fear ultimately shifts the focus to the complexities and contradictions of human motivation.","PeriodicalId":41516,"journal":{"name":"Antichthon","volume":"50 1","pages":"33 - 49"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1017/ann.2016.4","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"56965496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
