“…Dans ces montures étaient fixés ou sertis des disques de verre très fins. Ces miroirs pourraient avoir été destinés à l'usage de la toilette féminine mais on constate qu'ils sont très modestes et il s'agit plutôt d'objets symboliques dédiés à des divinités de la lune comme Séléné et Aphrodite comme l'indiquent les inscriptions (Barruol 1985). Des objets similaires se rencontrent fréquemment en Gaule romaine comme en Allemagne et maintenant, donc, à Paphos même, mais ils sont encore inédits (tombes nos MP 3508 et MP 3515).…”

The city of Nea Paphos is the only ancient city of Cyprus to have preserved much of the painted decoration of its buildings and tombs and the following paper aims to present a fresco that has recently come to light in one of the cemeteries of the city. The newly found painting was discovered on the right-hand side of the entranceway to the funerary chamber of a tomb of Hellenistic and Roman date and may be part of a larger decoration that has been destroyed. A human figure, possibly a young man, is depicted inside a frame created by branches bearing pomegranates. The figure is holding a fruit and is turned to his right, possibly towards another person. Behind him, an open mirror hangs from the wall over something that looks like a funerary monument. Although fragmentary, the scene depicts features that have a deeply symbolic meaning observed for the first time in Paphos. It presents an opportunity to examine new funerary iconography and discuss issues concerning afterlife beliefs in the ancient city.

Latinization, Local Languages, and Literacies in the Roman West

2024

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This volume explores Latinization, local languages, and literacies in the Roman West, focusing on the Iberian Peninsula, Gaul, the Germanies, and Britain in the later Iron Age and Roman period. We use a combination of various sets of evidence and an interdisciplinary—historical, archaeological, sociolinguistic, and epigraphic—perspective to uncover local voices. The results and arguments draw on the importance of context, local communities, and regionality. We consider the factors relating to the uptake of Latin, tracking ‘differential Latinization’ and revealing the probable survival of local languages, alongside, or even to the exclusion of, Latin in some communities in the non-Mediterranean areas. By including everyday writing in their epigraphic evidence, the contributors reveal regionality also in the varieties of Latin used and disparities in engagement in both the epigraphic habit and broader literate practices. Cautious use of previous research and new data enabled us to describe types of literacies, and to move away from debates on provincial percentages of literacy or from generalizations about urban–rural literacy, to contemplate social, chronological, and geographical complexity—essentially a socio-literacy approach following sociolinguistic methodology. Throughout the book we grapple with the ‘characterful’ data sets available to us, whose careful treatment enables the exploration of a range of themes vital for understanding provincial life.
