The so-called città dipinta is a wall painting found under the Baths of Trajan on an triple arch at the entrance of a monumental building whose identity and function still are unclear. This article discusses the representation of the two ports above and under the image of a city which is the only extant figure of a group that consisted in at least two, maybe four connected images. It focuses on the originality of this figure showing an empty although ideal city and its two empty ports. This emptiness is unique in Roman landscape painting. Its also points out the pictorial stereotypes the images of the ports rely on and brings parallels to paitings preserved in the Vesuvian area. It then discusses the topic and documentary value of the images of the two ports, both fortified. They seem to illustrate two different kinds of ports: above, a narrow port with shipsheds, which seems to provide the image of a port of war, while the one under the city, along roofed houses, seems to be a port of trade, both without a single ship. These form a complementary portual figure. This also provides us with the first pictorial occurrence of a feature described only in post-antique texts, whose existence was nevertheless suggested by several clues : the entrance channel could be covered by a vault and closed by a device.
所谓的citt dipinta是在图拉真浴场(Baths of Trajan)下发现的一幅壁画,位于一座纪念性建筑入口处的三拱形上,其身份和功能仍不清楚。这篇文章讨论了两个港口在一个城市形象的上面和下面的表现,这个城市形象是一个由至少两个,也许四个相连的形象组成的群体的唯一现存的形象。它的重点是这幅图的独创性,它展示了一个虽然理想但空荡荡的城市和它的两个空荡荡的港口。这种空性在罗马山水画中是独一无二的。它还指出了港口图像所依赖的图像刻板印象,并将其与维苏威地区保存的绘画进行了比较。然后讨论了这两个港口的主题和文献价值,这两个港口都是坚固的。它们似乎说明了两种不同类型的港口:上面是一个有船棚的狭窄港口,这似乎提供了一个战争港口的形象,而城市下面的一个,沿着屋顶的房子,似乎是一个贸易港口,都没有一艘船。它们形成一个互补的虚图。这也为我们提供了一个只在后古代文献中描述的特征的第一次图像出现,尽管如此,它的存在还是有几个线索表明:入口通道可能被一个拱顶覆盖,并被一个装置关闭。

The present paper proposes a new classification of the lost Latin historiography of the third to fifth centuries. Its chief objective is to take into account the entirety of the evidence for the lost historical writing in Latin in this period, including the material that has to date that has been marginalised or has escaped scholarly atten- tion altogether. Moreover, the new classification yields a significant amount of new information on late ancient Latin historiography.

One of the most important epigraphical findings from Dodona is a slightly damaged bronze plaque with an Athenian dedication of spoils from the naval victory over the Peloponnesians. Author recapitulates old arguments for relating this inscrip- tion to the double victory of Phormio near Rhium/Naupactus in 429 BCE and adds new ones. He rejects the traditional view that the choice of distant Dodona as the place of advertisement of the Athenian victory was dictated by the inaccessibility of Olympia and/or Delphi due to the Peloponnesian War. Instead, he argues that it was a deliberate act of propaganda aimed at the cities and tribes of the northwestern Greece, conceived and carried out by Phormio.

This paper aims to study the meaning of the words ‘Latin’ and ‘Latium’ in Augustan poetry, and the ways in which it overlaps with the meanings of ‘Rome’ and ‘Roman’, or ‘Italia’ and ‘Italian’. Its goal is to try and examine in which cases these words become synonymous, and offer possible explanations for this phenomenon, be they historical, religious, or literary.

A reading of Macrobius’ passage (Sat. III 6.10–11, where the temple of Hercules Victor in Rome is mentioned) shows that this text is an incoherent collage; the use of the word commentum, which must be restored in accordance with the manuscripts, shows that Macrobius’ (and Servius’) source did not himself believe as true the improbable story of Octavius Herrenus, the flautist turned merchant, who would have founded the cult of Hercules Victor. The origin of the Achaean war justifies that Mummius Achaicus established this Tiburtine cult in Rome.

As we see from Ennius, the praenomen alone can be used by a Greek addressing a Roman; as we see from Lucilius, it can be also employed by a Roman greeting a philhellene in jest. At the beginning of Cato Maior, Cicero quotes the passage of Ennius, but those words when addressed by him to Atticus acquire a similar function as those mentioned by Lucilius.
