Distortions In The Historical Record Concerning Ager Publicus, Leges Agrariae, And The Gracchi, 2011 Xavier University, Cincinnati, OH
Distortions In The Historical Record Concerning Ager Publicus, Leges Agrariae, And The Gracchi, Maria Therese Jeffrey
Honors Bachelor of Arts
In this thesis, I examine some tales of the earliest leges agrariae as reported by Livy and Dionysus because the motifs they employ in telling these stories are seen in the Gracchan tales as well. In addition, no discussion of the Gracchi is complete without some consideration of what kind of land they aimed to redistribute and who would benefit. Plutarch and Appian do not go into detail about ager publicus or previous leges agrariae and secondary scholars might unconsciously ignore them in turn. Therefore, I examine ager publicus and leges agrariae for a fuller understanding of the importance of …

Law, Philosophy, And Civil Theodicy: An Interpretation Of Plato's Epinomis, 2011 Ouachita Baptist University, Department of Political Science
Law, Philosophy, And Civil Theodicy: An Interpretation Of Plato's Epinomis, Steven Thomason
Presentations and Lectures
Scholars have mostly neglected Plato’s Epinomis. To my knowledge no one has attempted an interpretation of the dialogue as a whole in recent memory. In part this is because some scholars have argued that the Epinomis was not written by Plato. However, this is not the opinion of many prominent Plato scholars of the last century and a half. For example, George Grote, Paul Friedlander, A.E. Taylor, and Paul Shorey all considered it an authentic Platonic dialogue. Additionally, its authenticity was hardly doubted by ancient commentators. The main argument made for its not being authentic is not interpretational but alleged …
Shame And Conflict - Lysis's Philosophical Akrasia, 2011 Utrecht University
Shame And Conflict - Lysis's Philosophical Akrasia, L. Albert Joosse
The Society for Ancient Greek Philosophy Newsletter
We will see a conflict within Lysis between his newly stimulated love for wisdom and his habitual self-restraint. Born and raised an aristocrat, Lysis experiences conflict when his mind is enticed outside its wonted limits. What he experiences is, in fact, shame of himself: he notices that part of him falls short of the ideal he has been brought up with and to which part of him still adheres. His is a philosophical akrasia.
Cassius Dio's Livia And The Conspiracy Of Cinna Magnus, 2011 Connecticut College
Cassius Dio's Livia And The Conspiracy Of Cinna Magnus, Eric Adler
Classics Faculty Publications
The dialogue between Livia and Augustus about the conspiracy of Cinna Magnus (Dio 55.14-22) subtly undermines Livia, portraying her clemency as Machiavellian, in a manner consistent with Dio’s view of powerful women.

Lies, Lyres, And Laughter: Surplus Potential In The Homeric Hymn To Hermes, 2011 Butler University
Lies, Lyres, And Laughter: Surplus Potential In The Homeric Hymn To Hermes, Christopher Bungard
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
This paper seeks to reevaluate scholarly responses to the laughter in the Homeric Hymn to Hermes. Using Zupančič's recent work on comedy, I argue that Hermes intentionally exploits surplus potentials that emerge from splits in the perceived unity and completeness of Zeus's cosmos. Through surpluses (a tortoise-lyre, a baby cattle rustler, a baby master of legal speech), Hermes is able to attain his place among the Olympians. The laughter of the audience is one final expression of this acceptance of Hermes and his potential.

Concepts Of Intellectual Property In The Roman Tradition, 2011 San Jose State University
Concepts Of Intellectual Property In The Roman Tradition, Erin Guldiken, Marianina Demetri Olcott
Dr. Marianina Olcott and Erin Guldiken
The current study concerns concepts of intellectual property in the Roman tradition first century BCE through forth century CE. It complements a previous study published in the Journal of the Copyright Society of the USA (Summer 2002, vol.49, No.4) which dealt with ancient Athenian concepts of intellectual property. The current study as in the earlier study of the Athenian tradition shows that ancient concepts of intellectual property are remarkably similar to modern concepts, as embodied in American case law (Title 17) and guidelines on plagiarism formulated by the modern academic establishment. Our plan of investigation is as follows: First we …

The Identity Of Late Barbarians: Goths And Wine, 2011 University of Richmond
The Identity Of Late Barbarians: Goths And Wine, Walter Stevenson
Classical Studies Faculty Publications
Wine, symbol of civilization in the Mediterranean for millennia and still a profound cultural marker in Europe today, is not often associated with the Goths.1 But there is evidence allowing us to add this Northern European barbarian people to the tapestry of ancient wine production2 at the same time that they were beginning to cultivate the first European barbarian literature with the translation of the Bible into the Gothic language.
Sculpted Symposiasts Of Ionia, 2011 University of Richmond
Sculpted Symposiasts Of Ionia, Elizabeth P. Baughan
Classical Studies Faculty Publications
Statues and statuettes of reclining banqueters were dedicated at several Ionian sanctuaries during the sixth century B.C.E., beginning with the Geneleos Group at the Samian Heraion. Though common for small bronze and terracotta sculpture, this figure type is not otherwise attested in monumental dedicatory sculpture and is rare as architectural decoration elsewhere in archaic Greece. This article explores the social implications of this Ionian sculptural tradition, which paired the luxury of the reclining banquet with bodily corpulence, in light of archaic poetry and Samian history. The short-lived trend of reclining banqueter dedications may be understood as a locally specific type …
The Senatus Consultum Ultimum And Its Relation To Late Republican History, 2011 University of Puget Sound
The Senatus Consultum Ultimum And Its Relation To Late Republican History, Scott Shump
Summer Research
The Late Roman Republic was a period of internal violence and social instability. In response to these crises, the Senate repeatedly passed the senatus consultum ultimum, the ultimate decree of the Senate. This decree empowered magistrates to protect the state through extralegal powers. This decree manifested itself during this period as a method to preserve the power of the traditional elite of the Roman Senate through casting social, political and economic problems as military threats, justifying violent resolution. Thus, the senatus consultum ultimum is a significant aspect of Late Republican politics and serves as a case-study for the symptoms …
Intuitive Virtue In Plato, Augustine, And Gandhi, 2011 University of Denver
Intuitive Virtue In Plato, Augustine, And Gandhi, Brian Timothy Keady
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In this study, I argue that Plato, Augustine, and Gandhi hold in common the view that (1) in order to develop understanding of ultimate reality one must--in addition to engaging in contemplation of that reality--engage ethically in the practical world, and (2) in order to engage ethically in the practical world, one must also seek to understand ultimate reality through contemplation.
Much of what is original in the dissertation emerges at the level of the sub-theses I present in support of these ideas. I examine (1) and (2) in Plato by offering a reinterpretation of his conception of dialectic--the practice …
Captivating The Captors: Re-Defining Masculinity, Identity And Post-Colonialism In Plutarch's Parallel Lives, 2011 University of South Florida
Captivating The Captors: Re-Defining Masculinity, Identity And Post-Colonialism In Plutarch's Parallel Lives, Andrea Lea Pittard
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
This thesis investigates 1st-2nd century CE biographer and philosopher, Plutarch's, manipulation and construction of gender ideals in three sets of his Parallel Lives, Coriolanus and Alcibiades, Pelopidas and Marcellus, and Phocion and Cato the Younger in which he presented his particular version of the ideal man and route to manhood. Plutarch discouraged traditional paths to gaining masculine status and simultaneously promoted a type of masculinity that benefited other aspects of his identity, particularly promoting his social and economic position and ethnicity. He asserted throughout that martial men were not in control of their emotions and therefore were incomplete men. …
The Hippocratic Corpus And Soranus Of Ephesus: Discovering Men's Minds Through Women's Bodies, 2011 University of South Florida
The Hippocratic Corpus And Soranus Of Ephesus: Discovering Men's Minds Through Women's Bodies, Megan Michelle Slaughter
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
This thesis addresses what cultural influences and social circumstances shaped the works of the Hippocratic Corpus and Soranus's Gynecology. This thesis will illustrate how these medical texts are representative of how women were viewed by men in Classical Greece and Early Imperial Rome, respectively. It deals additionally with how these gynecological works in turn impacted the way in which society viewed and treated women. In particular, these medical writers' changing views of the act of conception shed light on the differing attitudes of their cultures. Thus far research on these time periods and works has focused too narrowly on one …
