“…A própria criação das colônias parece ter contado com a participação direta de habitantes prévios das comunidades afetadas. Esses às vezes parecem ter incluído famílias nobres locais, cujos integrantes parecem continuar ocupando posições de destaque após a colonização (Bradley e Wilson, 2006;Roselaar, 2011). Por outro lado, é difícil negar que as colônias atendessem a interesses geopolíticos romanos em alguma medida, como, por exemplo, interromper canais de comunicação entre populações hostis (Giampaola, 2000).…”

“…Vestígios materiais são fundamentais, na medida em que podem revelar continuidades e rupturas em padrões de assentamento, modos de ocupação e uso da terra, níveis de urbanização, artesanato e manufatura, arquitetura, cultos religiosos, alimentação etc. Ao mesmo tempo, as inscrições em pedra e metal produzidas pelas populações não romanas da Itália podem nos oferecer dados cruciais sobre mudanças na organização política, práticas de culto e identidades em decorrência da conquista romana (Terrenato, 1998;Roselaar, 2011). O que fontes arqueológicas e inscrições não oferecem, entretanto, são narrativas dos comportamentos, das decisões e dos posicionamentos das comunidades não romanas diante da ascensão inicial do poder romano, em uma resolução cronológica que seja minimamente satisfatória.…”

Resumo: As discussões sobre o imperialismo romano vêm se atendo aos primeiros momentos desse processo, na Itália dos séculos IV e III a.e.c. Devido à natureza fragmentária das fontes, é difícil entender como o começo da expansão romana foi percebido pelos agentes históricos envolvidos, especialmente por aqueles que vivenciaram o lado mais brutal do processo. Entre esses estavam as comunidades semiurbanizadas das montanhas da Itália central, chamadas imprecisamente de “samnitas” nas fontes greco-romanas. Embora os relatos historiográficos antigos disponíveis sejam tardios e romanocêntricos, podem servir de base para delinear aspectos de como essas comunidades teriam enxergado sua própria subordinação: propõe-se que esses agentes históricos podem ter mantido uma forte e talvez anacrônica percepção de sua própria independência.

“…At the same time, Kalle Korhonen believed that there was no information suggesting either an inflow or an outflow of Greek-speaking settlers in the early Imperial Period and quoted only a few examples of Greek-Sicilian tombstones beyond the island [44]. Nevertheless, it should be emphasised that the colonisation of towns initiated by Octavian Augustus prompted the migration of Latin-speaking people, including many thousand veterans and their families [45].…”

Antiquity - Including the “East” as “Western Identity”

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The chapter presents new studies of a material culture, recently excavated within ancient town Akrai/Acrae, south-eastern (SE) Sicily, and shed light on the rich history of acculturation and assimilation of the local traditions with Eastern Mediterranean cultures (e.g. Greek, Aegean, Cyprus, and Levantine). The Akrai/Acrae, founded by Syracuse and being for centuries a part of Syracusan Kingdom, after the Roman conquest in 212 BC, similarly to many other Sicilian urban centres, became a part of Roman province. From the very beginning, the links with the East in this region are evident, both in the legal rules adopted here (e.g. lex Hieronica) and in the religion (e.g. cult of Cybele), but above all in the iconography and in the material culture. Many finds (e.g. pottery, terracotta figurines, glass, lamps, and jewellery), discovered within the excavations between 2009 and 2020), are an excellent confirmation of these long-distance relations throughout the town’s history. These cultural implications and imports embraced mostly the Eastern Mediterranean producers and suggest strong economic and other contacts of the population of south-eastern Sicily with the centres in the East.

“…Pensabene (1979: 218-19) saw the veiled terracotta heads as characteristically Roman artefacts that spread out with Roman colonization. Yet they also could have been a wider Latin fashion, especially since many of the colonists who went to Apennine Italy in the fourth and third centuries BC would have come from Latium, and not Rome specifically (Roselaar, 2011). 26 Whatever the case, the unveiled heads in Apennine sanctuaries further suggest how local tastes and 23 To be sure, mobility and manual labour would have been important spheres of activity all over Italy.…”

“…Between the fourth and second centuries bc , Rome's hegemony came to encompass practically all of Italy. The impact of this process on the lives and culture of Italian communities has been greatly debated (for example, Terrenato, 1998; van Dommelen, 1998; Terrenato, 2001; van Dommelen, 2001; Roth, 2007: 9–38; Roselaar, 2011; Roselaar, 2012a; Roselaar, 2012b). Much of the discussion has centred on the concept of Romanization and its utility.…”

Moulding Cultural Change: A Contextual Approach to Anatomical Votive Terracottas in Central Italy, Fourth–second Centuries Bc

This article demonstrates how a contextual approach to material culture can help us think about the link between Roman hegemony and cultural change in Republican Italy. It does this by focusing on a particular set of artefacts — anatomical votive terracottas — that have been seen to indicate the spread of Roman and/or Latin culture in central Italy. Although the use of anatomical terracottas may have begun in the vicinity of Rome, communities in central Italy actively engaged with these artefacts according to their own cultural dispositions. Such signs of local agency are especially visible in the way that worshippers in the Apennine areas of central Italy favoured votive terracottas depicting legs, feet and hands, instead of reproductive organs, which were more popular in the Tyrrhenian zone. These findings emphasise the key role of local cultural practice in shaping the effect of accelerated political change on the micro-level.
