“… 11 Mitchell 1993: 219–20; Kokkinia 2012: 116–17. I follow the reading of the letter ( IvE 1491) first advanced by Kokkinia (2003) and favoured by Coleman (2008), which has the emperor joining, rather than chastising, the city in commending the patron, though I do not dismiss the conflicts between popular desire for spectacular versus imperial preferences for architectural benefactions that seem to underlie the reading followed by Kalinowski 2002, Zuiderhoek 2007 and Eck 1998.…”

Commemoration and Élite Benefaction of Buildings and Spectacles in the Roman World

Current scholarship on élite munificence in the Roman Empire often sees architectural benefactions as being at least partially driven by the élite desire for personal commemoration. I use juristic opinions from theDigestand other textual evidence related to building gifts to argue that there was an ancient understanding of the physical and symbolic ephemerality of architectural benefactions. In contrast, I present legal and epigraphic evidence to argue that there was an explicit expectation for gifts of spectacles and monetary distributions to be lasting memorials for their donors, and that the perpetuation of identity was also a motivating factor in the euergetic choice of a spectacle.

Fresh Water in Roman Law: Rights and Policy

Fresh water came from a variety of sources, streams and springs as well as aqueducts. Much of the Roman law on fresh water concerns its supply, regulating rights to use it with a variety of legal institutions from public and private law (e.g. ownership, servitudes, interdicts). The study of fresh water has usually followed the legal categories, segregating the public water supply from water that was private property, and consequently segregating different types of evidence. In this paper varied evidence is analysed using the ‘bundle’ approach, an analytical framework from legal scholarship on rights in the environment, in which water rights are not monolithic but are represented by component rights, including rights of access, withdrawal, management, exclusion and alienation. Analysing component rights in fresh water reveals significant continuities in the Romans' regulation of it and the impact of this regulation. Although there was no centralized water administration in the early Empire, Romans took a systematic approach to regulating fresh water based on consistent working principles and policy priorities.
