Lo studio traccia le linee dello sviluppo della superficie in diritto romano. L’istituto sorse tra secondo e primo secolo a.C., in conseguenza di rilevanti mutamenti demografici e urbanistici e fu probabilmente modellato sulle concessioni vettigali. Inizialmente, la superficie fu basata sul contratto di locazione a tempo determinato e poi anche su quello a tempo indeterminato (ovvero in perpetuum) e i superficiari conduttori furono tutelati mediante l’interdictum de superficiebus, modellato su quello de loco publico fruendo. Poiché nel corso del tempo, sul finire del primo secolo a.C., si ammise nella prassi la possibilità di costituire diritti di superficie mediante compravendita, legato e donazione, la tutela interdittale non fu più sufficiente e così, forse tra primo e secondo secolo d.C., il pretore inserì nell’editto la tutela reale per via di azione, a vantaggio di tutti i superficiari, con l’eccezione di quelli che fossero meri conductores ad modicum tempus. Si esaminano tutti i tipi di azioni decretali in factum che il diritto romano conobbe a vantaggio dei superficiari.

A lo largo de sus tres siglos de historia en la época imperial romana, la función principal de la Guardia Pretoriana fue la protección de la figura del emperador allí donde este se encontrara, ya fuera actuando permanentemente como su escolta y guardia personal en el palacio imperial o como última línea de defensa en el ámbito militar. Pero como cuerpo de élite del ejército romano acantonado en la capital del Imperio también se les encomendó el mantenimiento y, en su caso, restablecimiento del orden allí donde fuera necesario. Así, la Guardia Pretoriana se conformaría como una de las piezas clave en la historia imperial romana como uno de los actores principales no solo a nivel militar sino también a nivel político, papel este último muy alejado de las funciones iniciales para las que fue creada pero que poco a poco fue cobrando especial relevancia tanto por su cercanía a la figura de los sucesivos emperadores como por su acantonamiento en la capital imperial. Consciente de su poder, no fueron pocas las ocasiones en que los pretorianos utilizaron su posición e influencias para dirigir y aprovechar los habituales cambios políticos en la cúspide del poder . Pero, aun siendo menos conocida, no sería menor la importancia bélica que en los campos de batalla protagonizarían los pretorianos en numerosas ocasiones como unidad militar y que a la postre les consagraría como uno de los pilares fundamentales del régimen imperial prácticamente desde su creación, en tiempos de Augusto , hasta su desmantelamiento llevado a cabo por el emperador Majencio.
Como cuerpo de élite del ejército, reconocidos como los mejor entrenados y preparados como demostraron en no pocas ocasiones, y en base a su especial misión recibían una paga superior al del resto de soldados; y su tiempo de servicio era varios años menor, por lo que resultaban ser la envidia del resto de unidades militares y en particular de aquellos que servían en el limes del imperio . Es por ello que trataremos aquí de realizar un estudio esquemático sobre su formación, estructura, actuaciones, etc. con el fin de ahondar en el conocimiento de esta institución muchas veces denostada por algunas de sus intervenciones.

David Walker noted that particular reverse types for dupondii and asses of the reigns of Hadrian and Antoninus Pius were particularly common in the Bath Spring assemblage. Sam Moorhead has added another coin of Faustina II to this list. David Shotter summarises the information about an issue of Nerva which also appears to have a British Association.

Breve estudio de las monedas hebreas que forman parte de la colección numismática del Museo de la Casa de la Moneda de Madrid

This article contextualizes some one hundred mid- to late 5th century solidi and two hundred silver coins found in the grave of King Childeric in Tournai, Belgium. We argue that the coins in the grave must have been assembled for the specific purpose of the burial rite and that some of the participants in the burial rite were allowed to look at the coins before the grave was sealed. We argue that they were capable of identifying the various coins because they were literate and familiar with Roman iconography. It follows that the solidus hoard together with the other coins is a meaningful composition that has been manipulated for ideological purposes by Clovis himself. The coins must hence be explained in a manner that takes Clovis’ ideological motives into consideration as the grave and its contents run contrary to all usual explanations.

L’indagine svolta ha permesso di fare apparire come meglio condivisibile, tra le varie prospettive in tema di origine della compravendita consensuale romana, quella secondo cui essa sorse come istituto sganciato dalle radici del ius civile. In tal senso, almeno, depongono due ordini di considerazioni. In primo luogo, l’ipotesi sostenuta si può argomentare sulla base del passo di Paolo conservato in D. 18.1.1 e in D. 19.4.1pr.-2, dal quale emerge la convinta opinione del giurista classico, secondo la quale la compravendita consensuale doveva essere qualificata iuris gentium nel senso che i suoi caratteri fondanti erano emersi prima nel ius gentium e, solo successivamente, da esso erano stati recepiti nel ius civile (e non invece nel senso che, come viceversa accaduto per la traditio o per la stipulatio, essa fosse sorta nel ius civile e quindi fosse stata estesa ai rapporti con i peregrini). In secondo luogo, l’opinione può essere motivata sulla scorta di alcune osservazioni di dettaglio, che sono state sviluppate, da cui è sembrato emergere con sufficiente nitidezza che i Romani, in materia di compravendita con i peregrini, a partire da una certa epoca in poi, che si deve probabilmente collocare nel terzo secolo a.C., abbiano ritenuto non più soddisfacente il modello che avevano seguito fin dall’età arcaica. Tale modello arcaico era stato basato su quella che abbiamo potuto definire l’estensione “nei limiti del possibile” della disciplina civilistica ai casi di compravendite che intervenivano tra Romani e stranieri. Si trattava di un’estensione difficoltosa e a tratti anche illogica, dovuta al fatto che il diritto romano era stato pensato solo per la comunità dei cives: solo i Romani potevano avere la proprietà delle cose; solo ai cives era accessibile la mancipatio e pertanto solo per loro aveva senso compiuto la distinzione tra res mancipi e res nec mancipi; conseguentemente, solo per i cives poteva dirsi che esistesse una garanzia automatica dall’evizione in caso di vendita (reale) di res mancipi (in quanto tale garanzia derivava dalla mancipatio). L’estensione “nei limiti del possibile” di una siffatta disciplina ai rapporti di compravendita tra Romani e stranieri aveva prodotto un regime complesso, ma anche spurio e in gran parte contraddittorio, che infine apparve insoddisfacente, ciò che costituì la premessa per il suo superamento.

We study seven coins of Roman republican and imperial period related to the construction of the Via Augusta in Tarraconensis (Hispania) (Font de la Figuera, Valencia, Spain). Four were placed at the base of the road when it was being built and another three on the occasion of a reform. After his study in which dealt with aspects of monetary circulation and metrological among others and be determined to they have been selected and deposited ex professo, probably within rituals acts which are scanned their possible motive and parallel.
Se da a conocer el hallazgo de siete monedas de época romana republicana y altoimperial relacionadas con la construcción de la Vía Augusta en la Tarraconensis (Hispania) (Font de la Figuera, Valencia, Spain). Cuatro se colocaron en la base de la calzada cuando esta se estaba construyendo y otras tres con motivo de una reforma. Tras su estudio en el que se abordan aspectos de circulación monetaria y metrología entre otros, se puede determinar que fueron seleccionadas y depositadas ex profeso, probablemente dentro de actos rituales de los que se analizan sus posibles motivos y paralelos.

The standardization process of Asian civic silver coinage that took place during the Augustan Age finds its origins in the attitude that the Roman administration adopted towards civic issues right from the institution of the Provincia Asia in the 120s BC. Through our study of Asian autonomous silver issues, we will demonstrate that Romans were much more involved in the silver coinages of the Asian cities than any previous power dominating the area, as is suggested by the Roman names present on these issues and the evident decrease in the number of cities issuing them after the Roman province of Asia was instituted. Another element hinting at Roman intervention is the fact that the circulation of autonomous silver issues was limited to Caria and Rhodes, regions which were bestowed freedom and special privileges after the First Mithridatic War and maintained these privileges even afterwards. Asian autonomous issues only became fully integrated into the local monetary system during Augustan times through their linkage to the denarius and the cistophorus standards, but this process had already started during the course of the 2nd century BC. After a brief introduction of Augustan policy towards Asian non-autonomous silver coinage, this paper will provide a survey of the changes in the production and circulation of Asian autonomous silver issues under Roman dominion up to the Augustan Age, and will show how these changes were deeply intertwined with a gradual increase in Roman political control over the province of Asia from the beginning of the Roman period.

The discovery of twelve denarii found individually between 1985 and 1991 at New Fordey Farm, Barway, Soham in Cambridgeshire complements finds of aurei and denarrii at the same location reported in 1958, 1979, 1981 and 1984. The presence of associated pottery sherds, and progressively decreasing wear from oldest to youngest coin, identify this as a disturbed hoard of at least 451 coins (the total found to date) with a closing date of AD 180 in the reign of Commodus (AD 180–92). This paper describes the most recent finds and places them in the context of the earlier reports and what is known of Roman activity in the immediate vicinity, before considering possible reasons for their deposition.

and Keywords This chapter attempts to convey some of the complexity surrounding the study of coinage and the economy in Roman Britain. Using the wealth of new data provided by the Portable Antiquities Scheme, it explores the potential role(s) of coinage in Romano-British society and re-evaluates current theories of monetization over the 400 hundred years of Roman rule. In doing so, it challenges the applicability of a prevailing 'evolutionist' model, which situates monetization as one aspect of a wider process of acculturation or Romanization and suggests new ways of interpreting numismatic data.

The aim of this paper is to analyse, through evidences provided by archaeological layers, the circulation of Roman Republican
asses in the ancient Venetia et Histria. In the first half of the 2nd cent. BC these issues underwent a long-lasting circulation,
which in some cases can be found until the 1st cent. AD. This phenomenon needs to be observed in its principal steps in order to
better understand the monetary circulation in the X Regio between Roman Republic and Empire times. The correct dating of the
archaeological layers from which these coins come from is another problem that has been discussed. Thanks to data drawn by the
most recent excavations carried out, especially in the area of ancient Aquileia, it is possible to observe, for example, that a more
intense circulation of Republican asses occurs most probably during the Early Augustan age. In many cases this tendency can be
dated a century after their issue, following a pattern in monetary circulation suggested by a demand of small change just before
the Augustan monetary reform. Comparing the results with other areas, situated nearby, the same phenomenon can be observed.

In 75 B.C.E., two events affecting the tribuni plebis occurred: their right to stand for further ofﬁce, previously interdicted by Sulla, was restored; and the praetor’s tribunal was moved away from the Comitium and the Rostra, a main area of tribunician activity. This essay attempts to locate, link, and interpret these events within a broad social and historical context.

Seit der Nennung eines Grenzgebirges namens Kετιον ὂρος (Cetius Mons) in der Geographike Hyphegesis des Claudius Ptolemaeus (um 150 n. Chr.) zwischen den beiden Provinzen Noricum und Pannonia Superior wurde vielfach versucht, dieses genauer zu lokalisieren. Spätestens seit der Monographie Geza Alföldys über Noricum (London 1974) hat sich in der Forschungswelt der Trugschluss festgesetzt, es handle sich dabei nur um den Wienerwald.
Dieser Artikel möchte den Weg, der zu diesem falschen Schluss geführt hat, nachzeichnen und das Ergebnis korrigieren.
