Decorated pottery from the end of the Romanisation period in the Como region The ‘ugly ware’ of the age of Romanisation has the characteristic of presenting a series of very widespread types of decoration; within this general category, the area of Como is distinguished by specificities: the prevalence of globular vessels without rim and very simple decorations that are frequently repeated. The study of vases that have never been published and the re examination of vases that have already been pu blished allows us to find many similarities and to increase comparisons; they are dated from the Augustan to Tiberian periods and are usually of low quality. With great probability, it can be assumed that there were pottery factories in the area.

The paper in the first place introduces the figure of Guido Sutermeister and his fundamental work. The second part offers a concise summary of the data relating to decorated coarse ware gathered from a preliminary survey of the collections of the Guido Sutermeister museum in Legnano and from a consideration of what has already been written upon the subject to date.

In this paper we present three Latin inscriptions preserved in San Millán de los Caballeros, one of which is a carmen epigraphicum of which we give a new reading and interpretation; it has a text on two different sides, constituting an exceptional support. We publish two other unpublished inscriptions, one of them, a monogrammatic chrismon. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper is dealing with 194 Aucissa brooches from 27 sites in the Roman province of Pannonia, based on the results and methodology of international archaeological and historical research. Aucissa fibulae, as costume items, are one of the leading artefacts of the early imperial period, initially used mainly by soldiers (sagum), and are therefore an important archaeological source for the Roman expansion, occupation and Romanisation. In Pannonia 98% of the Aucissa fibulae were recovered from settlements, mainly from the early layers of military forts and later towns. The material of the fibulae is bronze, there is only a single known item being silver-plated. The formal, technological and chronological analysis of the Aucissa fibulae in Pannonia is followed by a costume, historical and archaeological analysis. The Aucissa brooches in Pannonia can be dated from the beginning of the 1st century A.D. to the first decades of the 2nd century A.D. The earliest types (subtypes A242.1,2,3) are found in military forts along the Roman expansion trail. The Aucissa brooches come from the areas of the East–West military expansion route (the Drava-Save interfluve, Siscia, Sirmium, Gomolava), the North–South expansion route to the Danube (Amber Road, Salla, Savaria, Carnuntum) and the Danube limes (Brigetio, Matrica, Rittium). The smaller number of later types of fibulae (subtypes A242.4,5,6) found in the interior of the province of Pannonia (vici) indicates a process of Romanisation of the local population (Bátaszék, Csákberény, Mezőörs). The Aucissa brooches can also refer to cultural and trade relations with the Barbaricum (Púchov culture); they can indicate the movement of the Roman army (Devín, Mušov) and also the mobility of people (Veresegyház, Szeged). In some places Aucissa brooches later appeared in the clothing of civilians and women (Emona). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article highlights the importance of transliteration in the field of machine translation, correct writing of personal and place names, and information retrieval. It provides an overview of various approaches, models and methods available in the field of transliteration. It shows the types of transliteration methods. The article also highlights the principles taken into account during the process of transliteration. It shows advantages and disadvantages of the proposed transliteration methods for different languages. It explains the accuracy of mentioned transliteration techniques through transliterated words. It is noted that proposed transliteration methods for one language may not be significant for others. Moreover, it may not be enough to apply only one method in the field of direct and backward transliteration of languages with different graphemes and phonemes. Therefore, different transliteration techniques have to be combined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

L’histoire de techniques en Afrique Proconsulaire est une « parente pauvre » [Amouretti (1987), 9], bien que de nombreuses études aient traité de l’économie africaine antique avec ses deux secteurs principaux : la céréaliculture et l’oléiculture. Au cours de ces études, devant la nécessité de respecter la démarche de travail et la chaine de production, il y a eu des études sur les matériaux de transformation, en mentionnant les types les plus célèbres. Malgré cela, et avec les quelques travaux récents, la situation est toujours ambiguë, d’où le recours à des approches typo-chronologiques pour comprendre l’introduction des quelques types en Afrique proconsulaire.

The article discusses the presumed functions of the provincial Roman mortarium discovered in the ‘princely’ grave in Poprad-Matejovce. The vessel may have served as a container for some unspecified food, as a component of a feast accompanying a funeral ceremony, or it may have been used as a lamp. In both cases, the strong influence of Roman culture on the population of the southern zone of Barbaricum at the end of antiquity is evident. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The study of the relationships between funerary practices and historical changes in Sardinia between the late Republican age and the early imperial age poses complex problems, due to the interaction of the different cultural traditions of the island, especially the Norh African one of Punic influence and the Roman-Italic one. The purpose of this contribution is to analyze how this cultural syncretism is reflected in Sardinian funerary archeology

The reinterpretation of some sites in Alicante (Spain) as castella from the Roman civil wars of the 1st century BC shows the early presence of Italic population in Iberian Contestania. On the basis of this evidence, we reflect on Ilicitan style painted Iberian pottery produced at this time, considering that it imitates forms and decorations from the Italic world.

The Crasto de Soure pairs up among the archaeological sites linked to protohistory and Romanisation of the Mondego lower basin. However, despite the interventions made and the supposed relevance of the archaeological settlement, only the preliminary news of the first archaeological excavations carried out in 1987 and 1990 are known. These were the most extensive works carried out at the site and provided a significant set of artefacts that have remained partially unpublished. In this regard, rather than reporting new findings at the site, this paper aims to explore the data gathered in those campaigns. A special focus is given to the study of material remains, which constitute the fundamental element to link the site to what will be a turning point in the occupation of this territory - the end of the 1st millennium BC.

Purpose: The problem of information loss inherent in the romanisation of Chinese, Japanese and Korean names is examined together with the problems it poses both to librarians who record book information and to library users who search for resources written in East Asian languages in a catalogue containing only romanised transcriptions. Methodology/approach: Firstly, we describe the writing systems used to write Chinese, Korean and Japanese, the romanisation standards for these languages, and the institutions providing authority data in Latin script. We then analyse the procedures for romanising East Asian proper names and then retrieving their original written form, and identify cases of information loss and irreversible transformations. As a case study, we present the difficulties encountered by librarians and users in the Library of the Department of Asian Studies of the Faculty of Arts at the University of Ljubljana (part of the Central Humanities Library and as such using the COBISS system) when using only romanised data to organise and search for library holdings in East Asian languages. Results: Information loss occurs in all methods of romanisation of Chinese, Korean and Japanese proper names presented in the previous sections. In the case of the Library of the Department of Asian Studies, this is a burden to both librarians and library users. Research limitations: We analysed the problem of the irreversibility of East Asian script romanisation in theory and in a case study involving one library; a more detailed analysis of other cases of Latin script catalogues hindering the management and use of library holdings in non-Latin scripts could be the object of future research. Originality/practical implications: This is the first analysis of the problem of information loss in romanised catalogues of East Asian library holdings in Slovenia, with a proposal for a possible solution using the Unicode standard.

The Roman strategy of establishing their rule in the Province of Dalmatia was implemented systematically and following an established pattern. It was based on four separate processes: the first process is pacification, the second is colonisation, the third is urbanisation, and the fourth is Romanisation. The main role in the implementation of these processes was with the Roman citizens and soldiers-veterans. They were the creators of both political and cultural lives in the Province of Dalmatia. Roman citizens were elected as members of the ordo decurionum, ediles, duumvirs, procurators, protectors and other officers. It was via them that the Empire authorities established full control over the subjected populations in newly-conquered regions, with clearly defined political and cultural objectives. Such a strategy was particularly present in the course of the Republican and Early Empire Ages. After that, the Empire began to weaken, coupled with the decline in its influence on both political and cultural developments of life and work in the Province of Dalmatia. This development lasted until 476 A.D., i.e., until the fall of the Western Roman Empire.

En el presente artículo se traza un panorama diacrónico de la historia material de la Qart Hadašt púnica y la Carthago Nova romana (actual Cartagena, provincia de Murcia, España), analizando en particular sus más destacados hitos y fases de su monumentalización urbana y arquitectónica entre los siglos III a.C. y el III d.C. Para ello resulta esencial la información proporcionada por lamoderna tradición historiográfica y los resultados obtenidos en las últimas décadas por la arqueología urbana y subacuática, en particular en las áreas arqueológicas del teatro romano y del Molinete, que han permitido obtener amplias secuencias ocupacionales de la ciudad histórica, desde sus inicios hasta la actualidad. Estos resultados completan el panorama conocido hasta la fecha de la ciudad púnica, definida por su elevado grado de helenización, y de la romana, caracterizada por las fundaciones republicanas en la acrópolis y el proyecto urbanístico-arquitectónico de edad augustea, así como por el fenómeno de la etnicidad urbana. Además, el registro arqueológico constatado recientemente en el Molinete obliga a redefinir la ciudad del siglo III, cuya situación de crisis y decadencia urbana deben ahora matizarse. This article gives a diachronic account of the evolution of the Punic Qart Hadašt and the Roman Carthago Nova (modern Cartagena, province of Murcia, Spain), especially focusing on the most significant landmarks in the process of architectural and urban monumentalisation undergone by the city between the 3rd century BC and the 3rd century AD. For this, historiographical information will be combined with the urban and underwater archaeological data collected in the last few decades, particularly in the areas around the theatre and Molinete, which have uncovered long occupational sequences that cover the whole history of the city. This work has greatly contributed to increasing our knowledge of the Punic city, which was a highly Hellenised enclave, and also of its evolution in the Roman period, including the Republican foundations in the acropolis, the urban-architectural project launched in the Augustan period and the reflection of ethnicity upon the urban structure. In addit ion, recent excavations in Molinete have demonstrated that the notions of crisis a nd urban decadence must be revised, forcing us to rewrite the history of the city in the 3rd century.

A series of projects by Gwynedd Archaeological Trust has identified two significant sites on the island of Anglesey. The first is a trading settlement on the shore of the Menai Strait which provides evidence for a hitherto unknown level of Romanisation in the remote west of the province. The second is a late first- to early second-century fortlet on the northern coast of the island that probably functioned as both a navigational aid and a point of strength at a landing place. The presence of a fourth-century watchtower on Carmel Head was also confirmed by excavation and its role in the late Roman coastal defence system is considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The work is a study on Ancient Rome and Dacia covering three major aspects: economy, social life and religion. The economic aspect comprises the following: agriculture, crafts, and trade. The social life: family life and social structure. In the case of Rome, the study particularly underlined minting, whilst for the Dacians, the study described the most important citadels from Orăştie Mountains. An important part of paper is religios life, who is directly correlated with the social life, both for Ancient Rome and Dacia. Naturally, towards the end of the work presented Dacian romanisation and especially the contribution of Dacians and Romans to Romanian Christianity. On a practical level, the work tries to answer two essential questions: where do we come from and where do we head to? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
