The aim of this article is to propose an historical analysis of the fragment FGrHist 128 F3 (= Strab. XV 3, 21) of the historian Polykleitos of Larissa. Polykleitos reports mostly administrative and economic news on the Persian Great King’s activity and testifies to a new approach to the study of the Persian Empire and its tribute system compared to Herodotus: these are complex evidences clarified in the light of the Aristotelian reflection on the oikonomia and the politics of Macedonians in Asia.

The analysis of the conserved section of the first book of Velleius’ Roman History allows the reinterpretation of its alleged universal nature. Its so-alled universal contents can be reinterpreted as an excursus in order to introduce the complex chronological system of the Roman history. In this way, the whole work can be interpreted as a canonical work of Roman historiography, with the regular structure and key motives that pervaded the genre.

Isocr. 18 could have hired Isocrates, and the speaker of Lys. 21 and Eryximachus could have hired Lysias as speechwriters for their rhetorical skills. However, it is probable that Isocrates’ choice to criticize the former colleagues of Isocr. 18 in his speech could have led the other two trierarchs to ask for Lysias’ help. This fact highlights the tensions between the elite when Athens was defeated in the Peloponnesian War. This antagonism between the trierarchs could be the beginning of the logographic competition between Lysias and Isocrates.

This article tries to make a point about the question of Pudentilla’s dowry and the role that it played in Apuleius’s self-defense in his Apology. After having examined the type of evidence showed by Apuleius in the law court, the order in which it is presented and the function it has in the oration, we proceed to examine the question of the dowry. This is linked to the circumstance of a wedding celebrated in the isolation of the country and not in town, an unusual, though not illicit custom. From Apuleius’s evidence, we can deduce that the rhetorician will base his defense on the concepts of Pudentilla’s self-mastery and freedom of choice; moreover we can assume that the dowry had been fixed according to the dotis promissio and not the dotis dictio regulation.

In this essay, I argue that the terms anarchia and anarchos had become associated with critiques of democracy before the final quarter of the fifth century BCE. I begin with a review of archaic and early classical uses of the term, with a particular focus on two instances in Aeschylus’ Oresteia. I then examine Euripides’ two uses of anarchia/anarchos, one in Hecuba and the other in Iphigenia at Aulis. In each case, we see that the concept of anarchic behavior is associated with democratic bodies; that charges of anarchia are laid by characters who engage with critiques of democracy throughout the dramas; and that the term itself is embedded within discourses that are laden with the language and rhetoric of anti-democratic discourses found in Thucydides, Herodotus, and the Old Oligarch. Given that Euripidean references to anarchia are embedded within terminology that was already current in contemporary anti-democratic thought, I conclude that the concept of democracy’s ‘anarchic’ tendencies had already been developed by the final quarter of the fifth century BCE.

In this paper, I explore the educational and political dimensions of pleasure in Plato’s philosophy. The main texts analysed are the Republic and the Laws. Plato shows clearly the significant role that pleasure plays both in individual human lives (from birth to death) and in society. Importantly, this makes it possible to judge the moral condition of both the individual and the state, and to philosophically justify this judgement.

The article analyses the origin of two rubrics of Justinian’s Digest: De in diem addictionem (D. 18, 2) and De lege commissoria (D. 18, 3). A hypothesis on the creation of these rubrics and relative titles is envisaged: the Digest compilers would have decided (probably in the final phase of the sampling, in an attempt to bring the structure of the Digest into line with the material available to them) to disaggregate a ‘complex’ title D. 18, 1, already formed, extracting passages from it to form two new titles, which are the subject of the research.
本文分析了查士丁尼《文摘》中两个标题的起源:De in diem addictionem (D. 18,2)和De lege commissoria (D. 18,3)。对这些标题和相关标题的产生提出了一个假设:《文摘》的编纂者可能已经决定(可能是在抽样的最后阶段，试图使《文摘》的结构与他们可以获得的材料一致)将一个已经形成的“复杂”标题D. 18, 1分解，从中提取段落形成两个新标题，这是研究的主题。

Exercises based upon the Aesopian μῦθος (προγυμνάσματα) were common in imperial schools of rhetoric. Being educated in such schools, Gregory of Nazianzus dealt with the fable: clear evidence lies in his oeuvre, where fable items are indeed widespread. By analyzing these items, the article aims to study why Gregory used and adapted them to Christianism (i.e. why he Christianized them).
以伊索寓言中的μ ο θος (προγ ο μν α σματα)为基础的练习在皇家修辞学中很常见。在这样的学校接受教育后，纳齐安祖斯的格列高利处理了寓言:在他的作品中有明确的证据，寓言的物品确实很普遍。通过分析这些条目，本文旨在研究格列高利为什么使用它们并将它们适应基督教(即为什么他将它们基督教化)。

Since their discovery during the archaeological excavations managed on the Athenian Acropolis in the XIX century, many bronze vessels fragments of the archaic and early classical period weren’t carefully studied, leaving unknown this important class of materials. The recent analysis of a great part of these pieces (more than one thousand) allowed recognizing the more common shapes, their style and decoration, defining the characteristic of a local production, to which we can now attribute many pieces found in different, even far, places.

Eratosthenes arrested Polemarchus, following the orders of the Thirty to seize the money of the metics, and then he brought him to the Council, where he was condemned to death without a proper trial. Eratosthenes could not deny that he had arrested Polemarchus but he hoped to be acquitted by distorting the recent past, which the jurors ignored in all its details. An examination of the questions and answers of Lysias and Eratosthenes, and an assessment of their arguments shows that Lysias was right to regard his opponent as guilty, but the latter still had chances to be acquitted.
