THE REFLECTION OF PERSONAL AND COLLECTIVE TRAGEDIES IN ANCIENT SOURCES. 2.COLLECTIVE TRAGEDIES IN ROMAN EPIGRAPHY
Abstrak
<p>The present research, though a stand-alone from many points of view, is the second part of our enterprise dealing with the reflection of individual and collective tragedy in Roman epigraphy. While the first part took into consideration individual tragedies, with death occurred by the hand of <em>latrones</em>, bandits or pirates, the current investigation is focused on what we have defined as traces of collective tragedies. By collective tragedies we understand those events which touched a larger sector of the population, resulted especially following attacks of enemies, or wars. Responsible for these acts of violence is especially the ‘other’, which falls in to the category of ‘barbarian’, or enemy. The Dacian wars, the Marcommanic wars, the Parthian expeditions, were some of the military events which lead to large scale acts of violence, and which left epigraphic traces of collective tragedies.</p>
