Senatores populi Romani
Keine menschliche Geschichte ohne Personen. Die Antwort der Wissenschaft war die Biographie und die Prosopographie. W�hrend jene Einzelpersonen untersucht, stellt diese Personengruppen in den Mittelpunkt. Das �lteste Forschungsunternehmen dieser Art, die Prosopographia Imperii Romani, unternimmt in diesem Band trotz ihrer hundertj�hrigen Geschichte eine neue Art methodischer Untersuchung ihres Quellenmaterials: Nicht die Personen selbst stehen im Mittelpunkt, sondern die Art, wie Personen sich in ihrem historischen Kontext pr�sentieren oder von anderen pr�sentiert werden. Aus der Perspektive verschiedener Disziplinen: der Alten Geschichte, der Arch�ologie, der Philologie, wird nach dem medialen Bild der h�chsten Fuehrungsschicht des Imperium Romanum, des Senatorenstandes, gefragt. Dabei entfaltet sich die komplexe soziale Kommunikation in einer Welt vor den modernen Massenmedien. Mit Beitr�gen von Werner Eck, Henner von Hesberg, G�za Alf�ldy, Dirk Erkelenz, Dietrich Boschung, Brigitte Ruck, Francisca Feraudi-Gru�nais, Marie-Th�r�se Raepsaet-Charlier, Ruurd R. Nauta, Olli Salomies, Christopher P. Jones, John Scheid:, J�rg Ruepke, Matth�us Heil.
Roman Rule and Jewish Life
Hannah M Cotton’s collected papers focus on questions which have fascinated her for over four decades: the concrete relationships between law, language, administration and everyday life in Judaea and Nabataea in particular, and in the Roman world as a whole. Many of the papers, especially those devoted to the Judean Desert documents of the 2nd century CE have been widely cited. Others, having appeared in less accessible publications, may not have received the attention they deserve. On the whole, rather than addressing the grand narratives of world or national history, they look at the texture of life, seeking to provide tentative answers to historical questions and interpretations by paying fine attention to the details of literary and, especially, documentary evidence. Taken together they illuminate fundamental, often legal, questions concerning daily life and the exercise of Roman rule and administration in the early imperial period, and especially, their impact on life as it was lived in the province and the period where Roman and Jewish history fatefully intersected. The volume includes a complete bibliography of her publications.
