Extract

Like the survey of 1981, this is the product of a team: Reynolds is responsible for the introduction and sections II–VI, Beard for sections I, VII–IX and XI, Roueché for section X. Reynolds has, as previously, acted as editor; it is planned that from the next survey in 1991 Beard will take over this role.

1 In preparing this survey, we have again received valuable help from friends and colleagues: in particular, Robin Cormack, Michael Crawford, John Crook, Catherine Edwards, Mark Hassall, Keith Hopkins, Andrew Poulter, Simon Price, Susan Sherwin-White and Greg Woolf (who also undertook much of the burden of final correction with remarkable good humour). The British Academy generously provided financial support for Beard to attend the International Epigraphic Congress in 1982.

2 One volume of its papers, Acta of the Athens Epigraphic Congress 1982 (1984), has appeared.

3 Thus on epigraphy and the senatorial order (1981), Spanish epigraphy (1981), the epigraphists B. Borghesi (1981) and L. Bruzza (1984), the epigraphic museum (1983), epigraphy and municipal life (1985); one on epigraphy and the passage from the classical to the medieval world is announced for 1986 and another on new juristic inscriptions for 1987. News of the activities of AIEGL is regularly published in the journal Epigraphica.

14 This background partly explains the controversy surrounding many aspects of these texts; for it is impossible to get access to the objects themselves (for comparison of letter forms, etc.). A rubbing of just one of the decrees has been published (ASNP 12 (1982), pl. 16); otherwise we rely entirely on transcriptions and verbal description.

15 The main publication, by G. Nenci et al., ASNP 12 (1982), 771–1103, provides full details of the complicated publication history of the documents; see also, for bibliography and concise analysis, SEG 32. 914. No date carries complete assent (nor is it absolutely certain that the documents form a homogeneous group), though most of those who have studied the texts suggest a third-century date for most, if not all, of them. See, for example, Nenci, ibid., 1069–77. The content of the documents is briefly as follows: I and II, record of Entella's friendship and alliance with (a) the Erbitaioi and (b) the Geloans; III, settlement of civil strife at Nakone; iv, honours to Ti. Claudius Antiatas; v, thanks to those who have assisted in famine; vi, vii and viii, renewal or formation of isopoliteia with three local communities.

16 loc. cit., 993–1032. Ti. Claudius is otherwise entirely unknown.

Note also the possibility that the inscribed text is essentially a native version of the agreement; the Latin is awkward and there is more stress on the person of the governor than might be expected in any official (even on-the-spot) document.

34 For instance, I now wonder whether the erection of representations of the gentes defeated by Germanicus (frag. 1, 11. 9–11) was the stimulus for the representations of the ethne defeated by Augustus which were erected on the façade of a building connected with the imperial cult at Aphrodisias. See J. Reynolds, ZPE 43 (1981), 317–27, cf. AE 1982, 892; Bull. Ep. 1982, 356 (and below, section VII).

Underlying the work of Sailer and Shaw is the further problem that they do not explain their definition of ‘funerary text’—for post-mortem honorary inscriptions set up in public places may be liable to reflect more limited relationships than those actually on tombs.

193 Though one should note certain problems with the evidence from the tablets of Jucundus. Illiteracy is not stated as a reason for parties not writing themselves (as it was, for example, often in Egypt). Harris assumes that those represented on receipts by intermediaries were illiterate. Sometimes, no doubt, this was the case; but cultural factors must also have played a part. The fact that none of the five women concerned wrote herself might tell us more about women's social position than about their literacy.

197 The ‘sense of audience’ involved some confidence in the future. So MacMullen argues (p. 246): ‘In the exercise of the habit, people (I can only suppose) counted on their world still continuing in existence for a long time to come, so as to make nearly permanent memorials worthwhile’.

199 JRS 74 (1984), 181–99. A further example of ‘symbolic’ writing may be some of the electoral programmata of Pompeii. Franklin, op. cit. (n. 91), has argued from a careful study of the dipinti that there were (at least in the last years of Pompeii) never more than two candidates for the office of duumvirate. If he is correct (for some doubts see Ling, art. cit. (n. 91), 208–9), then, as Harris realised (art. cit. (n. 192), 104), the function of the election ‘posters’ is not the utilitarian one of encouraging people to vote.
