Insensatez y sentimientos
Claudia N. Fernández
El presente trabajo se propone explorar las características de un personaje típico de la comedia griega del s. IV, cuyo nombre -o sobrenombre-, construido por el componente léxico φιλ (“amor”, “atracción”, “obsesión”) adosado al objeto hacia el cual ese amor va dirigido, da nombre a numerosas obras. Nos concentraremos en una selección de fragmentos de comedias medias, que analizaremos tomando como modelo el precedente de Filocleón, de Ranas de Aristófanes, que, como estos personajes, manifiesta también una ferviente y exclusiva inclinación afectiva que impacta de modo directo en su excéntrico comportamiento.

Il tetrarca e sua madre Romula. tra strategia promozionale e azione politica di Galerio
Marilena Casella
ABSTRACT
The tetrarch and his mother. Romula between Galerius’ promotional strategy
and political action
The aim of this paper is to highlight how the memory of Romula, mother of the tetrarch Galerius, does not have an autonomous character, but draws attention only if linked to her son, a man with an exceptional destiny: the scanty information about the woman, drawn from a few literary sources, among which a prominent place is occupied by Lactantius, is in fact functional in clarifying aspects of the character and politics of the future Caesar and later Augustus. A portrait is emerging from the sources is therefore now of Romula/Semele, now of Romula/Olympiad: her traits are stereotyped, built on the basis of rhetorical or historiographical tradition, which drew on both the myth of the twins and that of Alexander the Great with regard to Augustus’ birth.

Pro hebraicis exemplaribus et lingua: carta latina inédita de Benito Arias Montano a Gilberto Genebrardo (BNE, Ms. 149)
Antonio Dávila Pérez
Este artículo presenta la primera edición crítica y traducción a una lengua moderna de una carta latina del humanista español Benito Arias Montano (ca. 1525/1527‐1598), director de la Biblia Políglota de Amberes, al orientalista francés Gilberto Genebrardo (1535‐1597). El escrito es una apología de la lengua hebrea y de los originales hebreos de la Biblia. En el estudio introductorio el autor expone los antecedentes de dicho documento sin fechar, contextualiza la carta en el conjunto de la correspondencia de Arias Montano y propone una datación de la misma. La importancia de esta carta radica en el hecho de que constituye una pieza clave para reconstruir tanto la polémica recepción de la Biblia la Políglota de Amberes como el debate más general suscitado en la filología bíblica del siglo XVI entre defensores y detractores del original hebreo
de las Sagradas Escrituras.

Le ambiguità di un reliquiario. Il «braccio di s. Ermolao» nella pieve di Calci (Pisa)
Francesco D'Aiuto
This paper offers a new reading of a Greek inscription engraved on the silver reliquary of the so-called «arm of St. Hermolaus», an object that has been preserved in the romanesque Pieve of Calci (near Pisa) since the 12th century. The reading of this inscription, usually regarded as the product of an uneducated hand, has always proved difficult. Recently, Gianfranco Fiaccadori went back to supporting the interpretation of the inscription as a rough attempt to repeat the very same text (i.e., «The arm of St. Hermolaus») as that of another inscription written on the reliquary. Furthermore, he formulated the hypothesis that the unskilled hand could be that of a non-native Greek speaker perhaps of Armenian origin, noting some similarity of the letter-tracing to Armenian alphabetic forms. However, in this article I set out to demonstrate that the peculiarity of the letter forms can be explained entirely within the rules of Greek paleography and specifically according to Middle-Byzantine epigraphic usage. By applying these method, an alternative reading of the inscription emerges, namely «<Relic> of the servant of Christ (?) Pantoleon», shedding a new (though not unambiguous) light on the relic itself. Since the inscription read in this way appears to attribute the relic to St. Panteleemon, rather than to his co-martyr St. Hermolaus, various contrasting hypotheses can be raised about this apparent confusion, bearing on the relic’s history and ultimately on the question of its doubtful authenticity.

Linee privilegiate di contatto ed espansione delle élites dei centri italici nei territori alpini
Leonardo Gregoratti
Abstract
Nel periodo tra la tarda età repubblicana e il principato di Augusto l’area nella quale si esercitava l’influenza politica ed economica di Roma si estese notevolmente su vasti territori sia a nord quanto a sud delle Alpi orientali. Già in età repubblicana in seguito alle campagne militari di Cesare, commercianti nord italici si erano mossi verso oriente trasferendosi nell’insediamento transalpino di Nauportus al fine di utilizzare le opportunità offerte dai fiumi Ljubljanca, Sava e Danubio. Nel corso del I secolo d.C., la città di Emona, anche essa parte della X Regio, rimpiazzò Nauportus come punto di entrata in Italia delle linee di comunicazione con le province orientali. Questo contributo cerca di chiarire le connessioni delle gentes aquileiesi con gli insediamenti transalpini di Nauportus ed Emona cercando di stabilire se i cambiamenti nella gerarchia di importanza degli insediamenti influenzarono l’attività e l’importanza delle famiglie coinvolte.
From the last decades of the republican period and the beginning of the Augustean rule Rome’s political control had extended over large territories both north and south of the Oriental Alps. During the period of the late Republic already, following Caesar’s military campaigns, north-italic settlers and traders moved eastwards in the transalpine settlement of Nauportus, on the eastern side of the Alps, in order to exploit the trade possibilities provided by the rivers Ljubljanica, Sava and Danube. In the 1st century AD, Emona, a town also belonging to the X Regio of Italy, became the prominent centre in the connections with the Eastern provinces taking quickly the place of Nauportus as the terminal of the oriental trade routes before the Alps. This short contribution aims to shed light on the family connections and on the presence of different Aquileian (and other north Italian) families east of the Alps, in particular in the centers of Nauportus and Emona, trying to establish whether the increase of importance of the latter affected the economic activity and the importance of the Aquileian families involved.

“YONDER LIES YOUR HINTERLAND”: RHODES, BAKER AND THE TWISTED STRANDS OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN ARCHITECTURAL TRADITION
J.M. Claassen
This article considers the various strands that make up the classical architectural tradition in South Africa. In the last quarter of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth, under British rule the tradition of the Palladian style for civic buildings and of Graeco-Roman building styles for institutions of higher learning reflected the imperial ideals of South Africa’s political overlords. This was the tradition in which Sir Herbert Baker had been trained and which he encountered when he reached South Africa late in the nineteenth century. South African architecture would have been less rich without the strong influence of Cecil John Rhodes’ admiration for indigenous Cape Dutch architecture on Baker’s architectural taste. This architecture was strongly rooted in another aspect of the classical tradition. During Dutch economic and imperial rule, the northern European style of classicistic or baroque gabling on perpendicular buildings had at the Cape been translated into the gables of sprawling low buildings. Illustrations show earlier examples of classical styles at the Cape, including examples of the second classical strain (via Holland and Germany) in South African architecture, so much admired by Rhodes. The article continues with an examination of some of Baker’s best known buildings that show a blending of these two strands. It ends with some thoughts on the durability of the Classical tradition and neo-classical vestiges in post-colonial (and postapartheid) South Africa.

Raptos combinados: uma possibilidade de resistência feminina na Grécia Antiga
Sandra Ferreira dos Santos
A intenção deste trabalho é propor uma interpretação para as diferenças encontradas em cenas de rapto, presentes em vasos gregos do período clássico. Apesar de cenas com esta temática serem bastante comuns, algumas não seguem o padrão ortodoxo das cenas de violência e de rapto, levantando dúvidas sobre a natureza do ato. Ao analisarmos estas imagens podemos aventar a possibilidade de que se tratasse de raptos combinados, nos quais havia a anuência da moça raptada, uma vez que, ao contrário das imagens mais ortodoxas, as cenas não apresentam os signos próprios de violência e de contrariedade e, em alguns casos, sugerem intimidade e aceitação.

Tacite et la fortuna des Flaviens: notes sur le passage des Histoires 2.1.1
José Mambwini Kivuila-Kiaku
No pensamento de Tácito, o sucesso dos Flavianos era uma conseqüência direta da atuação da fortuna nos assuntos humanos. Já que em Tácito esse termo é polissêmico e se encontra no centro da interrogação histórico-filosófica do pensamento desse historiador, parece-nos importante, por um lado, delimitar o pensamento exato de Tácito na passagem das Histórias 2.1.1 e, por outro, determinar o tipo de fortuna implicada aqui, para precisar o que esta passagem traz para a compreensão do reinado dos Flavianos.

O Imperador Teodósio e a cristianização do Imperio
Maria Sonsoles Guerras
Em 380 o imperador Teodósio promulga o edito de Tessalônica no qual reconhece o cristianismo como religião oficial do Império. A esse edito seguem-se outros, sempre reforçando o primeiro, condenando o paganismo e as heresias e punindo até com a perda dos direitos civis aos que não professassem o cristianismo. Assim a religião passa a ser também, questão de estado. Surge o “cesaropapismo” que faz parte de toda a política medieval. Nosso objetivo é, portanto, analisar a interferência de Teodósio, através da legislação, no domínio eclesiástico e sua contribuição na cristianização do império.
