Lanalyse tien compte de quelques exigences mthodologiques, parmi laquelle la plus importante semble tre ltat de conservation des pices. Il est bien connu que, dhabitude, la plus grande partie des statuettes sont, dans le moment de la trouvaille, en tat fragmentaire et seulementtrspeuxsontentiresoupresquecompltes.Lafragmentation est considre par certains spcialistes comme un rsultat dune action rituelle,dedestructionintentionnelledelastatuette,quandonconsidrait que la respective figurine a accompli son rle destin au cadre dune crmonie (CHAPMAN 2000; GHEORGHIU 2005, p. 137144.).

De rgle, les parties fragmentes sont en lieux diffrents (GAYDARSKA, CHAPMAN, ANGELOVA 2005), par suite de la mthode de fragmentation par le coup (GHEORGHIU 2005, 142). De mme, nous ne pouvons exclure ni le cassage accidentel dune statuette, soit par une manipulationinattentive,soitparunaccident,ycomprisdanslemoment deladestructiondelagglomrationosetrouvaitlapice.Ladeuxime situation pourrait expliquer, ventuellement, la prsence de quelques statuettes entre les restes des habitations incendies.

Dans lhabitat de Isaiia on a fouill, en tout, 11 habitations et 64 fosses, dont huit constructions et 47 fosses ont appartenu lhabitat Prcucuteni(fig.1).Danslasurfacefouillejusquprsent(environ1200 m2)(URSULESCU,TENCARIU2006,24)onatrouv59destatuettes,dont 26 entires et 33 fragmentaires.

Offering a vast registration of statutory marks, the ornament has both the role of setting off the physical traits of a person and the role of displayingthebearersreputation.Eachcommunityselectivelyappealsto its own material resources, first to the local ones and then to the others, whichcomefromexchanges,andthatswhytheornamentconstitutesan extremely diverse aspect of the material culture (BONTE, IZARD 1999, 529530). Considering the raw material they were made of, we can distinguishmanytypesofornamentssuchasthosemadeofgold,copper andothermaterialsthanthepreceedingones.Ifforthefirsttwotypesof ornamentswetriedtoincludethepiecesthathavebeenpublishedsofar inRomania,usingtablesandmaps,thisthingwasimpossibletodoforthe ornaments made of bones, shells, teeth, rocks etc. because of the great numberofdiscoveries 1 . Supplementarydataforstudyingornamentscanbeofferedbythe decorated anthropomorphous representations, especially for those made of clay (for the way the ornaments were worn) (COMA 1995, 94). Regarding their function,besides their role in clothing and displaying of thestatute,there arealsointerpretations which correlatesthe adornment of the statues with gods, resulting the sacred function of the ornaments (GIMBUTAS1991,228;MONAH1997,199).

Aeneolithic,atthesametimewiththemetallurgyofcopperandduetothe progress it recorded. The first gold object known within the Romanian area is a gold wire discovered in 1945, at Glina (the Vidra phase of the Boian culture) (COMA 1974a, 17), but the Aeneolithic goldsmiths craft appearstogetherwiththeornaments.Duetoitsrarityandtothequalities of this material, gold has been used even since its discovery, for making ornamentsandprestigegoods. Regardingthenumberandthedistributionofthegoldornaments (appendix 1, map 1) one may see that the discoveries are reduced and unequal distributed within the area of our country. In all, from the data thatwehave,weknowalmost4550goldobjects 3 ,mostofthembeing ornaments, distributed in three cultural areas: Gumelnia (phases A2 and B2), Cucuteni (phases A and AB) and Bodrogkeresztr, partially contemporary. On the present area of Romania there have been found fewer and less varied gold objects in comparison to the neighbouring areas. Gold ornaments were discovered in different conditions: sites: Gumelnia (COMA 1974a, 15; 1974b, 181), Vidra (COMA 1974a, 15; 1974b,181),Ariud(COMA1974a,16),SultanaMaluRou(ANDREESCU et alii 2004), TraianDealul Fntnilor (H. DUMITRESCU 1961, 70), necropoles: VrtiGrditea Ulmilor (COMA 1995, 75, 91; 1974b, 184), CminPodu Crasnei (NMETI 1988, 123126), Ostrovul Corbului (ROMAN, DODDOPRIESCU 1989, 1718), deposits: Brad (URSACHI 1991, 335386; 1992, 5176) in association with other pieces, Sultana (HLCESCU 1995, 1117) only gold objects, and, possibly, Moigrad (HOREDT 1977, 289293), accidental: Oradea (COMA 1974a, 17), Trgu Mure(COMA1974a,16). It is interesting the discovery of many gold ornaments (beads, plates) in a cave dwelling (Petretii de JosPetera Ungureasc); together with these pieces an oven was also discovered, and this makes the discoverersbelievethat there wasaworkroom where such objects were made(LAZAROVICIetalii2004;2006,259261).

The number of the gold objects is higher if we consider the Aeneolithic pieces with doubtfulculturalborderingfromtheMoigradtreasure.

Themostfrequentornamentsarethependants;eveniftheybelong tosomespecialcultures,theyarerelatedbetweenthemfromatypological point of view, having as an origin the Southern types which come from Anatolia and Greece. The pendants had, most of the times, a magical apotropaic meaning (DUMITRESCU 1974, 268; ANDREESCU 2002, 71), but because of their significant values, we believe that the meaning of somesymbolsofthesocialstatutecannotbeexcluded. The big number of ornaments within Gumelnias area might be explainedthroughtheimportsfromasoutherncentreofgoldprocessing (which would explain the richness of the pieces from the South of Danube) due to the distance relatively reduced from this, but Eugen Coma considered that the respective pieces are of local production (COMA1995,72)4 .Thesameopinionsreferringtotheexchangeortothe localproductionexistinthecaseofisolatedappearancesontheterritory ofMoldavia,intheCucuteniarea,but,ifweacceptthelocalproductionof these pieces, the problem of the gold deposits for their production is questioned (H. DUMITRESCU 1961, 8485); the presence of the big gold idols within the Bodrogkeresztr area may be explained through the monopoly on the gold deposits from Apuseni mountains which was excercised by the bearers of this culture (LUCA 1999, 4); maybe the chemicalanalysesofthegoldpiecesfoundinRomaniawouldexplainthe problemoftheoriginandtheprocessingofthese,but,intheirabsence,we havetobesatisfiedonlywiththeassumptions. Copperornaments The use of copper is certificated in the late Neolithic, but it is possiblethatthismaterialhadbeenusedevenearlier.Wecantalkabouta copper metallurgy only since the early Aeneolithic, when bigger objects whicharemoredifficulttomake,appear(SANGMEISTER1975),suchas the bracelets from Agigea (COMA 1990, 89) (Hamangia culture) or TrguFrumos(URSULESCU,BOGHIAN19971998,1617;URSULESCU, BOGHIAN, COTIUG 2005, 217260) (Precucuteni III).

Copper ornaments come from: sites (level of culture, dwellings, complexes), a big number of pieces, typologically different, deposits/treasures,tombs(singleorinnecropoles),isolatedfindings. From a typological point of view, one can distinguish more categories 5 : Bracelets:curvedwithsuperimposedends,open,close,whichcan be assembled: Scnteia (MANTU, URCANU 1999, 17), of unknown shapes (in this category there are the bracelets whose type cannot be recognizedanymore)(appendix2).Inmostofthecases,thebraceletsare madeofcopperwires(havingaround/circular,eliptic,planoconvexcut), ofroundbarsorofsheetcopper.Thebigbraceletsmighthavebeenworn bythegrownupsattheirwrists,asitisprovedbysomefindingswithin thefuneraryinventories(Giurgiuleti)(HAHEU,KURCIATOV1993,102), and the small ones were for children. Bracelets were discovered in sites (Scnteia, Trpeti, Cucuteni, Izvoare, Trgu Frumos), deposits (Brad, Ariud,Hbeti)orintombs(Agigea). Chronologicallyspeaking, theearliest bracelets are fromtheearly Aeneolithic(PrecucuteniandHamangia)buttheyappearinAeneolithicin otherculturesorregions(map2) 6 :CucuteniTripolie(indifferentstages), Gumelnia, Petreti, HerculaneCheile Turzii, Coofeni. The biggest concentration of copper bracelets (of different types) can be seen in Cucuteni area, on the eastern side of the Oriental Carpathians, a region which can indicate a production centre (perhaps on the basis of the existence of the deposits from Blan or Sndominic, or of other deposits

Pendants/Amulets: anthropomorphous, with full discs (round, elliptic,convexdiscs),buttondiscs,enviolon,simplependants(apendix3). Copper pendants were mainly found in CucuteniTripolie area (map 3), but these pieces which had gold and bone replicas were spread on a bigger area which included the centre and the south east of Europe.

In Romania, the oldest samples are those found at Glina (Boian culture, Vidra phase) (NESTOR 1928, 110143), TraianDealul Fntnilor (Precucuteni III) (MARINESCUBLCU 1974, 51) and Trgu Frumos (URSULESCU, BOGHIAN 19971998, 16) (Precucuteni III), but they appear during the whole period of Aeneolithic. On map 5, one can notice three concentrations: in PrecucuteniCucuteni area (on the eastern side of the Oriental Carpathians), in BoianGumelnia and Slcua areas. In most of the cases, the rings appear in association with other copper objectsandtheirconcentrationsseemtoindicatetheproductionareas(or maybe the level of researches?). The rings were found in sites: Malna (MARE 2002, 262), Trgu Frumos (URSULESCU, BOGHIAN 19971998, 16), Hbeti (Vl.

Besides the copper ornaments mentioned above, there are others: buttons, earrings, columns (appendix 6, map 6), which have the same aestheticfunction. Ornamentsfromothermaterials Weonlymakeheresomeobservationsabouttheornamentsmade ofothermaterialsthangoldandcopper,withoutclaimingthefactthatwe wanttorejoinallthediscoveriesofthesametype(appendix7);forsucha measure it is needed the sustained effort of more researchers from more sidesofthecountry. Typologicallyspeaking,weclassifiedtheseornamentsin:bracelets, pendants, rings and beads. The materials used for making these ornamentsarediverse,themostusedonesbeingshells(weidentifiedsix typesofshells),bones,horns,stagandboarteeth,marble,limestoneand othertypesofrocks,plantsseeds(Lithospermumpurpureo)andothers. The bracelets were mainly made of Spondylus shells and not so often of Pectunculus pilosus and Ostrea, of marble: in the Cernavod necropole (BERCIU 1966, 82) and of bone in the Brilia necropole (HARUCHE2002,6970).Usingmapsforplacingtheseartefacts(map7) one may observe their appearance in the area of southern cultures (Hamangia, Boian, Gumelnia and Cernavod I), as a result of their spreadingarea,but,also,asaresultofourresearchdeficiencies. The pendants of many types and shapes are made of more materials (appendix 7), such as: shell (Spondylus, Pectunculus pilosus, Ostrea, Unio crassus), bone, marble, boar and stag teeth,and their copies. Besides the cultures mentioned above, pendants were also found in the areaofotherAeneolithiccultures,suchasTurdaandCucuteni(map7). The rings were found in more areas and cultures, mentionning herethosemadeofbonefromthetombsoftheBoianculturebearers. The beads are the most spread ornaments probably because they were made easily than other ornaments. We can distinguish a great varietyofmaterialswhichthebeadsweremadeof:shells,bones,different rocks (marble, limestone, amber), plantsseeds (true deposits of Lithospermum purpureo), boar and stag teeth.

Le mobilier funraire masculin de lge du Bronze dnote le contrle sur le pouvoir social, rflt,spcialement,danslesarmes:haches,hachesdecombat,sceptres, ttes de masses (TUREK 2008), etc. Dans plusieurs cultures de lge du Bronze de lEurope, les armes reprsentaient les emblmes dune socit patriarcale et guerrire. Pourtant, il nest pas exclut que la tombe appartienne une personne de sexe feminin ou un enfant. Dans cette situation, il sagit du lieu denterrement dun membre dune famille avec un statut social privilgi.

Limitation de la couture sur le dos des exemplaires mtalliques, couls dans des moules bivalves, est aussi charge de significations. cause du manque des pices mtalliques ou mme dans leur prsence, mais cause du dsir de joindre la nouveaut avec les plus vieilles traditions, on est arriv la cration de ces combinations dlments ornementaux. La mise en vidence de cette bavure a ncssit un effort suplmentaire de la part de lartisan, parce que les roches dures se travaillaientdifficilement.

Il tait plus populaire la campagne, o les paysans linvoquaient comme protecteur de leurs fermes et de leurs villages (LEGRAND1963,13921393).

Mn tait considr le matre du monde vgtale et animale, une divinit de la fertilit et de la reproduction, un matre des vivants mais aussi des morts (CUMONT 1909, 93). Il avait des attributs thaumaturgiques et oraculaires, avec des significations chthoniennes et ouraniennes en mme temps.

En ce qui concerne les appelations du Mn quon peut les rencontrer dans les temoignages littraires, on retiens Mn Pharnakou, mentionn par Strabon, rpandu dans les regions de lAlbanie du Caucase,laPhrygie,etPisidie(GographieIII,31),MnPhrygiosmentionn parLuciendeSamosatepourlazonephrygienne(Lucien,Zeustragdien, 8,42)etSabaziosMndansunescholiedeProclustoujourspourlaPhrygie (SANTORO1974,184185;DEBORD2005,1385) 5 .Lesinscriptionsddies au dieu, ainsi que les monnaies, prsentent une varit remarquable, donnant limprsion dune existance en ralit de plusieurs divinits locales vnrs sous le mme nom (par exemple, Mn Labanas, Mn Axiottenos, Mn Tiamou, Mn Tyrannos). Ses pithtes spcifiques peuvent tre divises en plusieurs catgories indiquant le nom du fondateur du sanctuaire (Artemidorou, Apolloniou, Epikratou, Diodotou, ou mme Pharnakou) ou les attributs et les fonctions du dieu (ouranios, katachthonios, phosphoros, epekoos, patrios, soter, ploutodotes, aniketos, tyrannos) (LABARRE, TALIALAN 2002, 273). Lpiclse dorigine lydiennetyrannos,matre,etplustardcelledemenotyrannus(TURCAN 1990, 83) utilises peut tre pour lidentification avec Attis, selon la suggestion de Lane souligne la qualit de dieu Mn comme divinit universelle,toutpuissant,matre du mondecleste (ouranios),terrestre et souterrain (katachthonios), qui donne de la richesse aux communauts humaines(LANE1990,21622163).Danscederniercas,commeprotecteur du monde de laudel, Mn Tymoleites et Mn Katachthonios taient invoqus comme protecteurs des monuments funraires. On utilise souvent dautres formules qui atteste la qualit de dieu invincible: invictus,aneiketos,saxigenusoupetraeites(CNRDMI,21;VANHAEPEREN POURBAIX1983,242)demmequeMithraparexemple.Mntaitencore vu comme un dieu des anctres, fait dmontr aussi par lutilisation de lexpression ho patrios theos dans quelques inscriptions de la colonie romaine de lAntioche de Pisidie ou propator dans une lettre marqu sur pierreSardes(LEVICK1970,3947).

Plus problmatique est le cas de lpiclse askaenos ou askaios quon trouve partout sur les monnaies de Sardes ou sur les inscriptions pisidiennes et pamphyliennes, et encore dans les tmoignages littraires (Tmoignages) qui peuvent indiquer soit des liaisons avec le monde iranien (VAN HAEPERENPOURBAIX 1983, 239245), soit une certaine intention de propagande faite par les autorits romaines, hypostase soutenue au dbut par Lane et, plus rcemment, par Salzmann (LANE 1990, 21712173; SALZMANN 1980, 261290; contra LABARRE, TALALIAN2002,273).Nousconsidronsqueladeuximevarianteestla plus crdible. Dabord au moins deux autres inscriptions montrent la mmeintention.LinscriptiondcouverteparEski[ehir,surlemplacement delaanciennevillephrygienneDorylaeum,atddieunMnItalikos, uneallusiontrsclairepourlaliaisonentrelemondeanatolienneetcelle romaine (LANE 1975, 235239; LANE 1990, 2171). La deuxime inscription,quimontresurtoutunecertaineliaisonavecleculteimprial, etaussilimplicationdanslorganisationetlefinancementduculteestune lettre adress probablement pendant le rgne du Commode par le prtre Hrmogens, fils de Dmtrios, de Sardes, qui administrait les biensdutempledudieuancestralMnAskenos,appeliciMnAskaenos propator, au gouverneur de la province dAsie, le proconsul Arrius Antoninus.Letextedelinscriptionprsenteuneimportanceconsidrable parce que cest la premier fois quon rencontre Mn comme un dieu mystres.

Endeuxime lieu,pour revenir au casde lpiclseaskaenos, je ne crois pas que lpithte mentionne est un driv de ashkenaz, malgr les paralllismes avec le monde indoiranienne (VAN HAEPEREN POURBAIX 1983, 239242), et plutt je pense quil fait rfrence lutilisation par les Romains, pour la propagande, du mythe de leurs origines troyennes qui commence tre utilis de plus en plus ds le rgne dAuguste. Ilnestpas le seul casde ce genre.Ontrouve la mme motivationidologiqueparladoptiondesromansducultedelaGrande Mre phrygienne des dieux, Cyble ou Magna deum Mater Idaea. On insistait ainsi sur la parent entre les romans et les populations anatoliennes sur la base de lhypothtique de descendance des Italiques du fils dAeneas, Ascanius (SCHACHERMEYR 1929, 281303; BRIQUEL 1991, 407448, 479488; WAINWRIGHT 1959, 197213; DMGR 107, 468). Cette ralit avait une double finalit: tout dabord de faciliter lintgration et une cooptation des populations locales pour assurer la loyautdeceuxcietensuiteelleconstruisaitunejustificationidologique assez solide pour le droit lgitime des Romains du domination, de gouverner le monde entier comme on trouve de manire explicite dans lneidedeVirgile(GALINSKI1967,619633;NIELS2001,223240;JONES 2001,179186;CHAISEMARTIN2001,187206). Mn est prsent partout dans les inscriptions avec caractre votif, ou sur les autels, les colonnes, bases de statuettes, reliefs rupestres, plaques en bronze, monnaies, etc. dcouvertes partout dans le monde anatolien,aussiquAthnes,Rhodes,Thassos,etenDacie(DMGR,543), maisquelquefoissurlapparencedesvarianteslocales,parexempleMn Pharnakou de Cabira du Pont (SARTRE, 325). Selon Strabon, quelques temples ddis au dieu lunaire taient dresss aussi dans la rgion de lAlbanie enCaucase(Tmoignages) (Gographie XII, 3,31).On sait aussi quAntoninus Caracalla, en installant son campement militaire dhiver EdessaavantdecommencerunecampagnecontrelesParthesilestallen Msopotamie, Carrhae (Karrhai) ou Harran daujourdhui (LLOYD, BRYCE 1951, 77111; GREEN 1992, 2228) pour prier et pour faire des

Selon le tmoignage dAmmianus Marcellinus, le temple msopotamien de ce dieu lunaire local existait encore au temps de lempereur Julien lApostate (Tmoignages: Selene) (Ammien Marcellin, ResGestaeXXII,3,2).

Starting from the first half of 2nd century AD, a great number of Romancitizens,aswellasofnonRomanisednativesperegrinesfrom theprovinceofDalmatiaandotherancientIllyrianareas,inanorganised form, mainly as groups, as a planned action of the Roman state, fled to minebasinsandothereconomicallywellknownregionsofRomanDacia. Most of them were settled on Transylvania, mainly on rich region with gold of Apusen Mountains, on the area between the centres of Apulum (nowadays Alba Iulia), of Alburnus Maior, with a greater concentration onthelastone,andofAmpelum(nowadaysZlatna).Inthiscaseaboveall, weshouldconsiderspecialisedminers,wholivedintheseregionsasreal colonists and they left their everlasting traces, for this reason it was writtenmanyatimeaboutthem,withinframeworkofdiscussionsonthe mines in general or in particular (DAICOVICIU 1958, 259 ff.; MROZEK 1968,307ff.;GARAANIN1968,2627;SNTIMBREANU,WOLLMANN 1974,240ff.;RENDIMIOEVI1989,751ff.). Epigraphic material about this problem under discussion is of an outstanding importance, for the fact that data in them are linked with Illyrian anthroponomy, which shows scale of migration, level of Romanising and arriving of colonists, they offer significant information aboutthewayoflifeingeneral,includingthetypeofsettlements,aswell associal,economicalandspiritualstate. About the level of Illyrian emigration to Dacia, the linguistic and onomasticdatashow,asA.Sntimbreanu,V.Wollmanhavepointedout, that these provincial elements of colonisation into this province, besides

GreekOrientalelement,weremorenumerous.AccordingtothemIllyrian anthroponyms are 120 in total and 70 of them are from Alburnus (SNTIMBREANU, WOLLMANN 1974, 241), and among them 4042 havetodowithnamesthatwecomeacrossincerates,whileotherswith stone monuments (DAICOVICIU 1958, 260; SNTIMBREANU, WOLLMANN 1974, 245). S. Mrozek points out that among these 70 names, even 65 certainly are Illyrian, while 5 others are doubtful (MROZEK 1968, 311312). This fund of Illyrian names from Alburnus Maiormeansthat62%ofthesenameshavebeenfoundinDacia,andthis shows that this was the greatest Illyrian centre of this province (DAICOVICIU1958,260;MROZEK1968,312).Ontheotherhandthetotal number of Illyrian names found in the entire province, according to the authorMacreais4%whatisverysmallone,andherebyallmeansshould consider Romanisation of Illyrianperegrine names, respectively spreadingoutandappropriationofRomannames,whichhasresultedthe percentage of Illyrian names and together with them, number of emigrants,andthisshouldbemuchgreater 3 . AsfarastheoriginofIllyriancolonistsisconcerned,theproblemcan betreated,forthetimebeingonlyinoutlines,asonepartofthesepersons andgroupsstillremainunknown.Butfromtheotherside,thegreaterpart has been documented with the name of appropriate tribe or of the town theyemigratedfrom.Henceforth,intheminezones,firstofallhavebeen mentionedPirustaeetBaridustae,andthelatteroneswhotookacastellum emigratedfromthetownofBaridumofDalmatia(DAICOVICIU1958,260 261, nt. 14; MROZEK 1968, 313; SNTINBREANUWOLLMANN 1974, 246, nt. 9). They were followed by the others, like Sardeates and a populationfromthetownofAequum(itluk,closetonowadaysSinj)and Splonum (certainly Komin, close to nowadays Plevlje) of Dalmatia (DAICOVICIU 1958, 262, n. 25, 264, n. 28; MROZEK 1968, 313, n. 2930). According to hypothesis of the scholar R. Vulpe some emigrants should have been from Scirtones tribe as well (MROZEK 1968, 313, n. 30.) And

amongallthese,itseemsthatinminingzoneofAlburnusMaior,Pirustae were those that made the most important group of Illyrian population, becausetheirnamewasalsoidentifiedintheirtwotraditionalsettlements, of one fortress and one suburb socalled Vicus Pirustarum, founder and inhabitants of which were they themselves (DAICOVICIU 1958 260263; MROZEK 1968, 312313).. In the last one according to S. Mrozek only earliesttimesoftheactivityofminesthispopulationwasalone,whilein the year 159 of our era it was also inhabited by a Latin population (MROZEK1968,313) For this Illyrian population, known in the first place for its great miningskills,itisveryinterestingthatitisstilldisputabletheirspreading territoryinIllyrida,andaboutthisthereexistvariousopinions.Thisway, C. Patsch locates them in Northern part of Albania, in the area around LezhaandDukagjinregionandthatofMirdita,whereG.Alfldylocates them as well (DAICOVICIU 1858, 260, n. 5; ALFLDY 1965, 57). At the same time A. J. Evans thinks that they spread out in northern part of Montenegro, around Plevlje (Municipium S...), and the same thinks M. Garaaninaswell(EVANS,1883,38ff;GARAANIN,GARAANIN1967, 97).Whereas,S.Mrozekpointsoutthatthispopulationundoubtedlyisof Dardanian origin, which in ancient times was known as a place rich in gold, and which according to Plinius records Darda is rich in gold 4 . Perhapsevenitsnamecomesfromtheworddardh(pear=Lat.pirum)( GEORGIEV 1957, 160; RUSSU 1960, 479; MROZEK 1968, 313, nt. 27). As farasthisisconcerned,weshouldpointoutthosetombstones(stelaeand cippi) of Dardanias territory and of Municipium S... (where are located Pirustae) according to the stylistic aspect of treatment of relief which clearly bears lines of autochthonous art, are very close to each other (Cf. CERMANOVIKUZMANOVI 1978, 325330; DOBRUNASALIHU 1987, 200202), and this goes in favour of the abovementioned thesis. Otherwise, in Dacia in quite another centre, called RomulaMalva (nowadaysReca)inOltenia,afterfindingtwomonumentsofcult,isalso

proved presence of this great IllyrianDardanian population. We have to do with two votive plaques with figural presentation on relief and inscription:oneofthemisdedicatedtotwopersonsofDardanianorigin, with civility, but with unknown anthroponomy because of damages of inscription; the second one, another person also with civility (TUDOR, VLADESCU 1972, 183 ff), who, what is more important, as a cognomen bearstheIllyriannameDardanus 5 ,whichiscomposedbyethnonymand thisalsoshowshisethnicbelonging 6 .Aswecansee,thesetwofragments also document emigration, respectively Dardanian colonisation in Dacia, whereundoubtedlytheycameintothiscentreingreatergroupsandwho were attracted by mining riches (TUDOR, VLADESCU 1972, 188). The timewhentheemigrationtookplacewedonotknowforcertain,butwe cansupposethatitwasdoneduringfirstyearsofRomaninvasioninthe north of Danube, when in Dacia took place a strong overflowing of emigrantscolonistswhoarrivedfromIllyrianareas.Itisveryprobable that in this centre in parallel with Dardanian group, emigrated other Illyrianpopulation,aswell(TUDOR,VLADESCU1972,189). Onomasticanalysis,respectivelyanthroponomyshowsthatIllyrians whoarrivedintothisprovincewereRomanisedabit,whereaccordingto S.Mrozek,only13peoplecomeouttoberomanisedinthecentrewhere was present a greater number of these names Alburnus Maior what means that 1/5 of the fund of this group of names (MROZEK 1968, 214).

traditional epichoric closed socalled castella, as we have seen before, as: K(astellum) Baridusta(rum), K. Ansum, K. Avieretium, K. Artum etc. 8 , and also other types of dwellings formed according to the model from their fatherlandaswell,asitisthecasewithVicusPirustarummentionedearlier formed as a suburb of Alburnus or as a village close to this town 9 . All these dwellings have a great importance because they speak for strong connectionsofIllyriancolonistswiththeirfatherlandevenafterarrivalin Dacia 10 . This is also documented by the presence of socalled principes dalmati,whichisanoldformofIllyriangoverning,wheretheypresented leadersoftribeswhichstoodonheadofabovementioneddwellings 11 . Hence, it is obvious that both these elements indicate very well common points of Illyrian colonists in mining region of Ampelum Alburnus in Dacia and Central and Southern Dalmatia where from arrived the emigrants. In this case it is important to point out that organisationaswellascontrolofexploitationofmineswasdonemainly according to Dalmatian model, where the first procurator goldsmith (procuratoraurariarum)asearlyasinthetimeofTraianwastransferredto DaciaandDalmatia.This,inparallelwithgreatnumberofIllyrianminers who emigrated in this region, speaks about the level of preservation of Dalmatian tradition in exploitation of gold mines, where surely existed ironmines,aswell(DAICOVICIU1958,260,ntt.910;SNTIMBREANU, WOLLMANN 1974, 246). Preservation of integral ethnic Illyrian unity is alsoseeninunitingmembersofcertaintribeinsocalledcollegia,asisthe case of community of Baridusts (collegium Baridustarum), which was organisedonlybyinhabitantsofthetownofBaridum,who,aswestated, were dwelling in the castellum with the same name in mining zone of Alburnus (Cf. DAICOVICIU 1958, 261; MROZEK 1968, 316317, nt. 42).

Otherwise,collegiawerecorporateofdifferentcharacter,atthefirstplace professional,whichusuallywereincludedsmallconcessionaires,andthen funeralswhobesidesunitingofinhabitantswithLatinnames,inparallel with those Illyrians and Greeks, they included those emigrants from a certain place. Besides our case, there appears the socalled collegium Galatorum composed by emigrants of Asia Minor. This way, emigrants from different countries formed certain communities 12 .In certain communitiesshouldhavebeenunitedeventhosewhocultivatedreligious cultsofacertainarea 13 . About the cults and religion it is of interest the fact that among inscriptionsofthisprovincewecomeacrosssuchones,whichdocument bearing and respecting of certain Illyrian gods from the fatherland of dedicator, and this speaks about preservation of native tradition in this field of spiritual culture. We have to do with two votive plaques from abovementioned RomulaMalva on which are carved goddesses. Nevertheless, as on thefirst plaque, relief is damaged, we cant say who the Goddess is. While,as far asthe second one is concerned, for the fact that Goddess relief is preserved very well, of great help is dedication Dardanicae on her head, in tympanum. This inscription shows that the plaque is dedicated to a syncretic Goddess who personifies dedicators fatherlandDardania.Thus,wehavetodoherewiththeGoddessoftheir fatherland Goddess Dardania (Dea Dardanica) (TUDOR, VLADESCU 1972, 183 ff., figs. 12), which even in Dardania has been documented iconographically and epigraphically 14 .

part of socalled Gods of Fatherland (Deae Dii Patriae) (TUDOR, VLADESCU 1972, 188, ntt. 713). This exvoto which belongs to the first part of 3rd century was found in an important place of cult, like temple, chapel etc., andthisspeaksabout theimportance ofthis Goddessin this centre, where were also formed communities (collegia) divided with professionalorreligiouscharacter,atthefirstplaceintendingtopreserve theirethnicalbeing(TUDOR,VLADESCU1972,189).Undoubtedly,there shouldhavebeen,atleastanotheroneDardanianwithreligiouscharacter, andevidenceforthiscouldbethisplaque. Besides epigraphic material, for preserving Illyrian traditions in Dacia in the field of spiritual culture speak certain type of necropolises andgroupoftombsinaspecificwayofburying,foundinseveralcentres of Transilvania, where Illyrians emigrated, and which M. Garaanin locates in the necropolises of the type of Mala KopanicaSase found in certain areas ofwideIllyrianterritory, andwhich belongonlyto Illyrian ethnos 15 . Among these tombs, the greatest is necropolis of the mountain Corabia between centres of Ampleum and Alburnus Maior, which entirely belong to this type 16 . This speaks of great role that emigrants wereplayinginthisregion,atthefirstplaceasspecialisedminers,whatis documented with epigraphic material as well, where on inscriptions of thesetwocentredonotappearThracianDaciannames,butoncontrary, to a great extent appear Illyrian names (DAICOVICIU 1958, 265; MROZEK 1968, 311). These data undoubtedly prove the existence of a separate colony in this region and which was connected with this necropolis (GARAANIN 1968, 25). Similarly to this, is the necropolis Cinci in the region of the Iron mine of Teluic, where all tombs, besides one, belong to this type, and this shows that even here the Illyrians

Whilst, on the contraryinbothnecropolisesofApulum;CeleiandStradaBiilor,aswell asofUrsoieofAntiquecentrePorolissum(Miogradofnowadays)tombsof this type do not present the only one type, but there are present other types as well. And among them the most interesting is necropolis Celei, wheretombsofthistypearedividedinaspecialplaceofnecropolisand they present clearly a divided group, which can be explained only as a result of presence of various ethnic elements, also of the Illyrian, who made up the population of this centre. This is present in Porolissum as well(GARAANIN1968,26). Such results has also reached D. Protase, who points out that in tombs of places Bote and Vulcoi, which are between centre Zlatna and RoiaMontan,atthefirstplaceareburiedIllyriansDalmats(PROTASE 1971,107). As far as juridicalsocial state from these inscriptions is seen as S. Mrozek points out that they undoubtedly were peregrines who won the right of trading (Ius commercii) who as such they formed a group of free inhabitants,whobesidesdwellingintheregionofmines,theypossessed slavesaswell(MROZEK1968,315).Thisfactshowsthattheyappearasa slaveholdingstratumaswell,andwhatismostinteresting,asD.Rendi Mioevi points out, even despite peregrine status, which they had for a longtime(RENDIMIOEVI1989,760761).Andinrelationwiththis, wecomeacrosscaseswhenevenaslavebearsanIllyrianname,andthis showsthattheymightbelongedeventothatsocialstratum.Thiswaywe have to dowith a part, which, aswe are informed by C.Daicoviciu, did hardlabourasslavesorcommonworkers, andas such, by livingapoor life,theydidnotleave anyinscriptions(DAICOVICIU1958,265).Inthis case, we should point out the case of a cerate, where three mentioned persons: seller, buyer and slave, as to their anthroponomy they are Illyrians 17 ,whatspeaksclearlythattheymighthavebelongedtodifferent social strata. Some of them who belonged to higher stratum became importantpersonsinpoliticaloradministrativelifeofprovinceofDacia,

In the other case from RomulaMalva both of decuriones (dedicators of Dardanica Goddess) who are of Dardanian origin, they have whole civility (TUDOR, VLADESCU 1972, 186). This high position that they took in society speaks at the same time about their economical situation, respectively about their economical prosperity; some of inscriptions document about their economical and financialprosperity,andinthiscasesomeIllyrianleadersofsmallenterprises hadworkerswhowerepaidfortheirwork(Cf.MROZEK1968,315). Thisstructureofsociopoliticalandeconomicalactivityspeaksinfavour ofthestatementofS.Mrozek,accordingwhomthatallcolonistswhoarrived onminingzones,theIllyriansaswell,werenotminers,buttheywerepersons whocarriedoutvariousactivities.Inthisway,aswehaveseensofar,wecome across businessmen who did financialbanking business, trading with slaves etc., while for a part of them we do not know about their qualifications (MROZEK1968,311;SNTIMBREANU,WOLLMANN1974,246). Taking into consideration all we have said so far, we can conclude that from these immense valuable data, we can draw significant results abouttheIllyriansinDacia,pointingoutnotonlythelevelofemigration and scale of Romanising, but also their way of life there, in general. Starting from socialeconomic situation of individuals and groups who emigrated, as an important component of outliving, from these inscriptions,aswehaveseen,they(wehavetodowiththeelementwhich is dealt in these materials) were well accommodated in a new area and theyeventookandheldsolidpositionsinthesociety.Someofthemeven weretakingpartinpoliticallifeashighfunctionaries,andsomeothers,by actively taking part in different profiles of mining works, became managers of enterprises, what also enabled them to have economic welfareandwiththisaprestigeinthemilieuwheretheylived.Thiswas

of influence that, despite preserving the status of peregrine for a long time, they appear as a slaveholding stratum as well. Nevertheless, in spiteallthesesocialeconomicachievements,whatismoreimportant,they present themselves to be quite traditional, respectively they strongly preservedtheiridentity.Thisisseenintheirpreservingtheancientwayof life, as by respecting forms of autochthonous settlements with forms of Illyriangoverning,aswellaselementsofspiritualculture,whatisseenin the specific way of burying and bearing and respecting cults of autochthonousgods.Therefore,wecanstatethatwithemigration,which they did it mainly in an organised way, in groups, Illyrians in this province present themselves as a specific element, different from the others.

Introductoryremarks Onecanrarelyfindaseriesofcognatesassignificant,forboththe Old Germanic domain 1 and for the postancient history of Southeast Central Europe, as the ban family of cognates, to be found in Romanian

I will apply the label Old Germanic (O.Gmc.) to idioms spoken during a period of about one millennium, that is, approximately the period between the motionoftheBastarnaetowardstheLowerDanube(3rd2ndcenturiesBC)andthe eventual disappearance, by assimilation, of Gothic, Gepidic, and Langobard identitynuclei(7th8thcenturies).

and in several neighbouring languages. 2 It may now appear as quite surprising that (as far as I know) no one has at least suggested an Old Germanic origin for those ban cognates. 3 Such a situation was, in my opinion, caused by the fact that some earlier etymological explanations regarding the ban family were considered to be definitive solutions, so theybecameakindofetymologicallegendstransmittedfromauthorto authoruntilthepresentday. 4 Thoselegendsencouragedaperpetuationof confusingreferencesandmissinglinks,whichcouldhavebeensolvedby newapproachestootherwisewellrecordedlexicalmaterials. ViewsonthepositionandoriginofRomanianban The most important facts about the Romanian terms ban feudal titleofnobilityandbancoin,moneyaretobefoundinthefirstvolume of Micul dicionar academic (MDA 2001, s.v. ban), in Ciornescus etymological dictionary of Romanian (2001, s.v. ban), and especially in Schuberts book on Hungarian loans in neighbouring languages (1982). TheauthorsofMDAcautiouslypresentRmn.banasawordofunknown etymology, and they only compare it to obvious relatives in neighbouring languages. 5 Most other authors indicate borrowing from those languages into Romanian, an idea that is untenable, as I will demonstratebelow.Toaddtotheetymologicalconfusion,authorssuchas Tiktin (1903, s.v. ban) and Rosetti (1986, 384) unhesitatingly indicate a Hungarian origin for Rmn. ban feudal title. In his turn, Ivnescu (2000, 429) first states that the Romanian term under discussion stands for a SerbianCroatian element adopted by all speakers of DacoRomanian,
IplacedRomanianfirstforreasonsthatwillbecomeapparentinthefollowing demonstration. 3 The only exception I know about is Ciornescus proposal (not exactly acceptableseebelow)ofaGermanoriginonlyforRmn.bancoin,money,not forthewholefamilyofwordsunderdiscussion. 4 In regard to Romanian etymologists, for much too long they have focused almost exclusively on the Latin heritage of their own language, and have been quitecarelessaboutRomanianwordsofnonLatinorigins. 5MDA(loc.cit.)givescf.Hung.bn,Serb.ban(and,Imayadd,cf.Bulg.ban).

then he considers (IVNESCU 2000, 429) that ban feudal title has a double origin: Hungarian and Serbian. 6 In regard to generally accepted views on the primary source of ban, most significant details are to be foundwithCiornescuandSchubert. Ciornescu (2001, s.v. ban) takes into consideration the fact the SoutheastCentral European term ban (Latinized in medieval documents as banus) was known especially as title of a count who acted as a representative of kingly power in southern areas of the kingdom of Hungary(namelyinareasdesignatedasbanatusinHungariandocuments in Latin). Subsequently, in the mid14th century, Romanian princes of Wallachia (ara Romneasc the Romanian Country) often added the title of ban of Severin, of Mehedini, of Oltenia, or of Craiova to their owntitleofdomn(<Lat.dominus).Asanillustrationofapeculiarsituation, I will mention that, in a Wallachian document of 1486 (in Old Church Slavonic), published by Hasdeu (1983, 161), two coexistent bani of Craiova are recorded (upan Dimitru and upan Djatko); and an identical situation(ofparallelbani)isreflectedinanotherWallachiandocument, in Romanian, issued in 1602 (HASDEU 1983, 160). 7 Romanian historians commonly mention the title of ban as borne by the boyar who acted as governor of Oltenia, and finally by the one who had the highest rank at theprincelycourtofWallachia. In regard to the primary source of the term ban, Ciornescu (loc.cit.)adoptsageneralizedopinionofhistime(thefourthfifthdecades ofthe20thcentury):ItappearstobeaMongolicword,probablyAvaric. Cf.Mongolbajanrich,wealthy.Thesameauthorgoesonbymentioning that the term under discussion was first recorded in tenthcentury Byzantine Greek, as , and that Hungarians appear to have take over (from whom?) both title and institution, and to have transmitted them to Romanians and Slavs. Although Ciornescus views, in the case

underdiscussion,didnotaddmuchtothe(mistaken)traditionalones,at least as regards Rmn. ban money, coin he had his own idea about a possibleGermanorigin(asIwillpointoutsomewherebelow). GabriellaSchubertsassumptions NumerousandvaluabledetailsaretobefoundinSchubert(1982, 252257). Schubert (like Ciornescu and others) assumes that both Slavs andRomaniansborrowedbanfromtheHungarians;buttheverymaterial given by her (loc.cit.) makes that direction of borrowing appear as doubtful. Schubert(1982,252)presents Hung. bn ascomingfromtheOld Croatian bn master, 8 first recorded in 1063, in a document of King Kreimir. Then she takes into consideration (SCHUBERT 1982, 256) the possibility that the function of banus (a Latinized variant) may have existedwithCroatiansbeforethecomingoftheHungarians;however,she assumesthatitwasasdesignationofaHungarianVerwalterthattheterm ban subsequently spread to South Slavs and to Romanians. That may be true, regionally, but it does not explain the whole spreading (and productivity)ofbaninSoutheastEurope;nordoesithelponeverymuch in establishing the actual age of ban in that area. In regard to the etymology of the term under discussion, Schubert, like others, wrongly assumes that Old Croatian bn comes from Baian, the name of an Avaric ruler of the latter half of the 6th century (SCHUBERT 1982, 252), thenshedecisivelyproposesthefollowingevolution:Avar.Baian>Croat. ban>Hung.bn(thisspreadthenintheBalkans,asnameofabearerof royal authority and as designation of an official position) (SCHUBERT 1982, 257). Schubert does not explain by what kind of shift a name of a khagan of the Avars came to produce a term meaning master (in Croatian), and royaladministrator(in Hungarian andother languages),
Schubert(1982,252)justmentions,andimplicitlyrejectsanetymology(Dcsys) according to which Hung. bn comes directly from Altaic bajan. Even less credible than that Altaic solution is the one that supposes a derivation of Serb. Croat. ban (and, ultimately, of Hung. bn) from Turk. bay rich man, an etymologyassumedbyDeutschesUniversalwrterbuch(DUW),2001,s.v.Ban.

nor by what phonetic alterations /bajan/ became /ba:n/ or /ban/. Also, there is an etymologically and chronologically confusing aspect in Schubertspresentationofafurtherdevelopmentofban.Shefirstpresents (SCHUBERT 1982, 253) Bulg. ban as one word with two meanings: 1. Banus,Statthalter,Frst;LeiterderVerwaltungeinesbestimmtenGebietes in der Zeit des Feudalismus auf dem Balkan; 2. Kleine Kupfermnze, neuerdings ein Hundertstel des rum. Lej[actually, leu]. To the latter she immediately adds that, as name of currency, O.Bulg. (frequently occurringinBulgarianfolklore),wasfirstrecordedinthe10thcentury(that is, about one century before Old Croatian bn). But as designation of currency, Schubert believes, the Old Bulgarian word under discussion must have come from the language of the 7thcentury Turkic Bulgars (jedoch wohl aus der Sprache der Bolgarotrken). After that assumption, in subsequent passages (1982, 255 and 256257) Schubert rathersurprisinglyindicatesthatbancoinfirstreferredtoatypeoflocal currency issued bythe banus ofSeverin (in todaysSouthwest Romania), andthatitbecameausualterminRomanian,throughwhichitpartially (teilweise) entered Bulgarian too. I consider that it would be less confusingtoassumethattheabovementionedtenthcenturyO.Bulg.ban (> todays Bulg. ban small coin) had one and the same ultimate (non Turkic) source as Rmn. ban small coin, money and as the latters correspondents in other Southeast European languages. Along the same line, if we accept Schuberts assumption that ban coin derives from the titleofacertainbanus(seealsobelow),wemustalsoassumethatsucha derivationtookplacebeforethe10thcentury,whensmallcoincame to be recorded in Old Bulgarian. Under such circumstances, on the one hand (etymologically) we must definitely reject the idea that ban may derive from the Avaric anthroponym Baian; but on the other hand (historically)weareforcedtogoasfarbackbackintimeastheperiodin which exactly the abovementioned khagan ruled over Avars, Slavs and marginalRomans(or,already,Romanics).

From a geohistorical standpoint, it is not surprisingthatitismainly in LatinwrittenHungarian documentsof the Middle Ages where we can find banus and banatus side by side (for instance,withmyitalics:eodemEmerico de Zapolya, Dalmatie, Croatie et Sclavonie regnorum nostrorum et prefato Nicolao de Wylak, Machovensi banis, honore banatus Zeuriensis vacante, in a document issuedbyMathiasrexin1466asgiveninRUSU1989,268).Also,itisnot surprisingthattheLatinsuffixedbanatussurvivedasnameofaprovince (Banat, now divided between Serbia and Romania) in an area that once was a central part of Gepidia, whose powercentre was Sirmium (todays SremskaMitrovica).

There hardly is anything written in Gepidic. 10 As for Gothic, 11 it left at least one element that indicates the existence of an Old East Germanicpredecessorofban(asajuridicaladministrativeterm),namely a West Romance echo of a Gothic compound *bannwda. That term appears to have been used in the language of the Visigoths who, after havingmovedwest,establishedtheirownstateformationinthesouthof todaysFrance,aroundTolosa(Toulouse),intheearly5thcentury.Outofa placename recorded (in the 12th century) as Banoida in that region, Gamillscheg (1934, I, 352) credibly reconstructed Goth. *bannwda, whose meaningherenderedbyacorrespondingGermancompound,Bannweite. We can easily compare the latter to Germ. Bannmeile nhere Umgebung einer Stadt, in der besondere Vorschriften galten (see Fr. banlieu below), as well as to other German compounds with the same initial element: Bannfluch mit einer Verfluchung verbundener Kirchenbann, Bannkreis Einflussbereich, or Bannwald (Schutz)wald (gegen Lawinen), in dem kein Holz geschlagen werden darf (all extracted from Deutsches Universalwrterbuch,2001).Moreover,itisalsoO.Gmc.bannthataccounts notonlyforamultitudeofderivativesandcompoundsinWestRomance languages (see below), but also, in my opinion, for the whole Southeast Europeanbanfamilyof words that hasbeen untenablyreferredeither to thenameofKhaganBaian,ortovariousAltaicorTurkicterms. 12 WhenGamillschegreconstructedGoth*bannwda,hediditonthe basis of wellrecorded Old Germanic terms, such as O.

1961, s.v. bann), or O. H. Germ. ban (Gebot unter Strafdrohung, Acht, Bann in the glossary of WALDNER 1970). The solid position of that term on Germanic ground is proved by the fact that it still occurs in practically all modern Germanic languages. 13 Also, at times of Germanic domination, the same term (together with some of its derivatives) was imposed on speakers of Romance and it became part of their usual vocabulary. (We can also imagine numerous contexts in which, while being gradually assimilated by Romance majorities, Germanic communities continued to use some of their own terminology.) Gamillscheg(1935,279)mentionsawholeseriesoftermsofOldGermanic origin, among which outstanding are Alpenromanisch bannir 14 and Galloromanisch bannire (gerichtlich vorladen), both from a Frankish verb*bannjan. In his panRomance dictionary, MeyerLbke included an article (1935, 933a) on Romance terms based on bann (frnk.) Befehl unter Strafdrohung.AccordingtoMeyerLbke,thatFrankishtermrepresents the origin of the French and Provenal ban (therefrom borrowed in Old Italian and Old Spanish, as bano).

The last term should be viewed in connection with a certain conflation observed by Gamillscheg (loc.cit.), namely the one that brought together the Latinized Germanic terms bannum Bann and bandum Fahne (cf. Goth. bandwa sign, token in Kblers dictionary). 15 Themostvisibleresultoftheconflationunderdiscussionisaseries of Romance terms of Old Germanic origin, such as the ones included in Battisti/ Alessio 195057. That dictionary gives the Italian terms bannire and banno separately, as dialectal variants of the betterknown bandire (annunciare pubblicamente e solennemente) and bando (decreto, condanna, esilio). Worth mentioning is that, besides bando/ banno and bandire/ bannire, the same Italian dictionary includes bano governatore dun banato, a SerbianCroatian loan that also occurs as title in front of personnames (as in ban Sansovino, or bam Sanudo). Battisti and Alessio (19501957) indicate no Germanic origin for the SerbianCroatian source wordofIt.bano,andnoetymologicalrelationshipbetweenbanoandbanno.

Romancelanguage,Iwillpreventapossibleobjectionofaphoneticorder at this point. One might be tempted to say thatRmn. ban can be only as old in Romanian as Slavic loans such as hran and ran, since, like the latter, ban does not show a change typical of certain words inherited by Romanian from Latin. It is generally known that the sequence /an/, in a stressedposition,became/n/(later/n/)intheverypassagefromVulgar Latin to Romanian (see IVNESCU 2000, 206). Thus Romanian has ln wool from Lat. lna, and it has pgn pagan from Lat. pagnus). However, as Ivnescu shows (loc.cit.), a Latin word like annus year produced Romanian an (not *n or *n), since in the period in which Romanian was in the making, Latin double consonants were still double. 16 Therefore, if during the same period (approximately between the 5th century and the 7th) an Old Germanic bann with a vowel /a/ followedbyanemphatic(double)nasalenteredthelanguageofproto Romanians, that loan could remain with the form ban (not *bn or *bn), justasLat.annusremainedwiththeforman. The long vowel of Hung. bn deserves at least a short comment, sinceitsquantityisobviouslydifferentfromthatoftheshortvowelofO. Gmc. bann. In my opinion, the very quantity of Hung. bn indicates that thetermwasnotborrowedbynativespeakersofHungariandirectlyfrom a Germanic idiom, but through the intermediation of a language (either

However, foraclearerunderstandingoftherelationshipbetweenthoseGermanisms of French and Spanish and the protofeudal roots of the Southeast European ban (which became bn in Hungarian) we should review the basicopinionsontheultimaterootsofO.Gmc.bann.

SecondcenturyBC Romanswereshockedtoseethattheirstrangeopponents,theCimbriand the Teutoni, hanged their prisoners, drowned the horses of the latter, threw the spoils of war into the water or destroyed them (WOLFRAM 1995,28).InapreroyalJewishcontext,Samuel(thepriestjudge)tellsSaul thattheLordhathrejectedtheefrombeingkingoverIsrael,sinceSaul did not wipe out the Amalekites together with all their possessions, in keepingwithGodscommandment(1Samuel15).Iinsistonthatepisode also because I found something remarkable in Luthers translation of it. WhereasKingJamesVersionsaysthattheAmalekitesshouldhavebeen utterlydestroyed,tosacrificeuntotheLord,inLutherswordswhatSaul was expected to do (about the Amalekites and their whole fortune) was den Bann vollstrecken execute the commandment. With his keen sense ofhisownlanguage,LutherchoseexactlyGerm.Bann,initsmostarchaic sense, to express the notion of divine commandment transmitted to mortals through the voice of a priestjudge. The Bible gives us lots of details about howGodsvoicecouldbeheardbychosenhearers,whothenactedas speakers whose voices made Gods will known to both kings and commoners of Israel. There also is sufficient information on how early Germanicsreceiveddivinecommandments,asIwillpointoutbelow.

ReportsoncertainearlyGermaniccustoms Theearliestinformation aboutGermanictriballifedoesnot come from the Germanics themselves, but from Greeks and Romans, who initiallyconsideredGermanicbarbarianstobejustanotherkindofCelts. 26 When the Mediterranean world came to feel the impact of the earliest Germanic intruders (first the Bastarni in the Southeast, then the Cimbri and Teutoni in the Southwest and Centre of Europe), the GreekRoman world became interested mainly in the militarypolitical dynamics of thoseintruders.Forinstance,inthesecondcenturyB.C.,Polybios(XXVI, 9) refers to the Bastarni of his time 27 only in regard to their potential as alliesofKingPhilipVofMacedoniaagainstRome.Aboutacenturylater, as conqueror of Gaul, Caesar could gather more detailed information about the Germanic way of life, which he presented in contrast with the Celtic one. 28 One special merit of Caesars celebrated Conquest of Gaul is that,inpassagesdedicatedtoGermanicopponents,theemperortobedid not observe only militarypolitical features, but also religious ones. For instance, Caesar mentions that (after Ariovistuss Suebi unexpectedly retired from a battle) he was told, by some prisoners, that the German matrons,whousedtodrawlotsandemployothermethodsofdivination todecidewhetheritwasadvisabletojoinbattle,hadpronouncedthatthe Germans were not destined to win if they fought before the new moon (II, 2).

I find it difficult to decide whether it was the Gemanic priest, or king,orchiefwhohadmoretodowithinterpretationandimpositionofa banntypeofregulationsduringthelongperiodinwhichBastarni,Goths and Gepids became, in turn, dynamic factors in the history of Southeast Europe. I am inclined to believe that, under circumstances in which Germanics acted as Herrenvolk among populations with other religious beliefs than their own, social aspects (to be observed by both Germanic masters and nonGermanic subjects) became more important than observance of auspices and divine commandments. Thus the archaic notion of bann must have been gradually secularized (the process continuingunderearlyfeudalcircumstances). 29 In regard to the Germanic socialjuridical customs of his time, Caesar (in his De bello Gallico) makes a contrastive presentation. First he describes the social stratification of the Gaulish Celts, whose common people were treated almost as slaves by the two privileged classes,
WhereasintheGermanicworldofCaesarstimethetermbannmostprobably stillwasclose,semantically,toLat.fs(divinecommandment),atthetimewhen Goths and Gepids strove to build their own state formations bann must have come to correspond semantically rather to Lat. is, which in imperial Roman times referred mainly tolay justice. Nevertheless we should notneglect the fact that, in very early Latin, not only fs, but also is and lex had religious implications(seethoseLatinwordsaspresentedinERNOUT,MEILLET1985)

DICULESCU (1922, 35) finds a solution to what others regarded as a confusing situation, namely that Cniva (who did not even belong to the GothicroyalfamilyoftheAmali)wasmentionedasrexatamomentwhen the actual king of all the Goths, Ostrogota, was still alive.

AcertainfootnoteinIvnescu(2000,79)deservessomediscussion at this point. That note centres on the epithet of judex that was repeatedly attached, in ancient historical writings, to the name of Athanaric(theVisigothicrulerwhovainlytriedtostoptheinvasionofthe Huns into what is now Eastern Romania and the Republic of Moldova). Ivnescu chose to criticize Vasile Prvan and to adopt a (hardly tenable) opinion expressed by Radu Vulpe. Prvan (1911) considered that Athanarics position of judex must have reflected some kind of continuation of a Roman juridical institution that survived north of the DanubeafterthewithdrawaloftheRomanadministrationandarmyfrom theprovinceofDaciainthe3rdcentury.ButVulpe(1957)rejectedPrvans viewandstatedthattheapplicationofthetitleofjudextoAthanaricwas due simply to the similarity in form between that Latin term and Goth. iudanschiefofthewholepeople(inVulpesinterpretation).Myopinion isthatneitherPrvannorVulpe(followedbyIvnescu)wereright.Onthe one hand, Athanaric, a fourthcentury heathen Visigothic ruler, had no reasontoimitateRomanjuridicalofficers;ontheotherhand,heprobably did not have the title of iudans, which, at that time (as manifest in WulfilasBible,ofthesame4thcentury),couldbeusedasatranslationof Gk.basileus.Basically,AthanaricspositionmusthavebeenthatofanOld Germanic magistrate, similar to the ones mentioned by Caesar, and to the ones that I consider as having something to do with the earliest meanings of O. Gmc. bann. Nevertheless, the historical context was already quite different from that of Ceasars time. Both Rome and the Germanic world had changed. As for the latter, in the 4th century the border between military and juridical functions must have vanished, so therenolongerwasanycleardistinctionbetweenthesphererepresented by bann and the one represented by harjatuga. In support of such a statement, I will quote from what Bosworths dictionary of Old English gives under heretoga (the leader of an army or a people, a general; dux, consul).AmongBosworthsillustrativeexamples(loc.cit.),therearetwo remarkablequotationsfromOldEnglishbiblicaltexts,inwhichMosesis

We may deduce that, at that time, the title of banus was already applied to outstanding vassals of the Hungarian king, especially in Croatia and Southern Hungary(cf.DUWDeutschesUniversalwrterbuch,s.v.Ban).

The situation of fourteenthcentury Transylvania, ruled by representatives of Hungarian kings, is reflected in Latinwritten documentswhichoftenmentionthetitleofbanus,asattachedtonamesof highpositioned royal governors and members of royal councils. For instance, in a royal decree issued under King Lajos the Great (Lodouicus rex),in1361, 34 twomagnificentmenwithbanuspositionsarementioned, namelyNicolaodeZeechandNicolaodeMachow[Mava].But,inthesame period, other documents present persons with a banus title of a much lower rank. One such document, issued in the same year of 1361, mentions the death of one Peter [son] of the banus (Petrus Bani), who hadlivedinthevillageofOzd(intodaysMurecounty);anditwasalso in 1361 when a similar document was issued pro magistro Nicolao, filio quondamSymonis,banideDorlaz.ThevillageofDrlos(recordedasDorlaz firstin1317)isnowintheSibiuCountyofRomania,anditisnotknown to have been the seat of any banus comparable in importance to those of Dalmatia, Croatia, Mava, or Severin. One interesting aspect manifest in the lastmentioned Transylvanian document is a shift of title, from one generation to another: the father was known as banus, whereas the son bore the title of magister. It appears that the father had been just a local peacetime administrator of justice among the inhabitants of Dorlaz (= Drlos).ThepositionofSymondeDorlazprobablywasmuchmoremodest than the position of the two parallel fifteenthcentury bani of Craiova mentionedbyHasdeu(1983,161seeabove).

Hungarian.Thefactthat,inveryearlytimes,banwasawellknownrank in Romanian villages is proved by the very presence and spreading of village names based on ban all over Romania. Since Transylvania produced earlier written documents (in Mediaeval Latin), it is not surprising that such village names were first recorded in that province: the earliest appear to be (according to Sucius toponymic dictionary) the namesoftwovillagesintheSlajCounty (central Transylvania),namely Ban and Bnior (the latter being a diminutive of Ban). Both were recorded in 1213, as villa Bani, and villa Ban, respectively. The latter is important also because, in a document of 1341, it was indicated as inhabitedbyWallachians,thatis,Romanians(possessioolachalisBantheluke accordingtothesameSuciudictionary,s.v.Bnior). 36 By its early written records, Transylvania has a special place in regardtopropernamesbasedonban.ButotherregionsofRomania,forall their lack of early historical documents, also show a multitude of such names, recorded in more recent times. Foremost among the Romanian placenames that deserve attention in this discussion is Insula Banului (literallytheBanusIsland),anislandoftheDanube,onwhichtheruins ofanearlymedievalfortressarestillvisible(cf.ANGHEL1972,68);that fortresswasthepowercentreofthebaniofSeverin,whowerequiteoften mentioned in mediaeval documents.

In its final part, Sucius dictionary also includes recorded names of subsequently vanished villages, such as BanTolmcs (in Criana) 1559, and Banesti(inBanat)1690.SuchrecordssuggestthatvillageswithnamesoftheBan series may have been more numerous in the past. The earliest of them must originallyhavebeen,Ipresume,centersofjuridicalauthority. 37 The Banatian village name Bnia practically renders the articled form of the common noun bnie; and Bnie is also a Romanian family name (see CONSTANTINESCU1963,s.v.Ban).

Nevertheless, the very richness of the Romanian onomastic family Ban, as well as other facts raise serious doubts about such traditional views. We should, for instance, be very cautious about statements such as thr ones to be found in Constantinescus onomastic dictionary, under Ban, where that name is presented as frequent in the onomastics of Romania and of neighbouring countries, after the Hungariannameofarank,whichwasextendedtothatofabordermark (banat) in countries to the south [], beginning with the 12th century. However, it is also Constantinescu (1963, s.v. Ban) who gives the following quotation from Nicolae Iorga: Moldavian toponyms that derived from this term [ban] are numerous enough, although the institution of bnie is of a very recent date in Moldavia. Constantinescu tries (unconvincingly) to solve that confusion by assuming a massive transferofBannamesaspartoftheintermittentflowofRomaniansfrom Maramure (a Northern Transylvanian region controlled by Hungary in feudal times) to Moldavia. 40 But, as I have already stated above, no

But, like Iorga before him, Constantinescu does not overlook the fact that Banu (or Banul, in its articled form) occurs in

credible explanation for the origins of ban and Ban can be reached if we confine ourselves to the times of advanced feudalism, and to the traditional AvaricHungarian etymology of the term under discussion. 41 At this point, some more things should be said about ban money, coin too. Fromtitletocurrency As mentioned above, according to Schuberts presentation (1982, 253) Old Bulgarian appears to have contained one single word ban with twomeanings:1.banus,governor,2.smallcoin.InregardtoRomanian, most lexicographers have assumed that it has two separate words, ban feudal title of nobility, and ban money, small coin, division of the leu [Romaniancurrency].Abouttheoriginofthelatter,Romanianspecialists havehadopinionssimilartotheonesexpressedbySchubert.Forexample, in his history of Romanian, Ivnescu (2000, 429) advocates the following opinion formulated earlier by Mihescu: the term ban coin must have entered Romanian after the invasion of the Mongols (1241); as a consequence of that event, the Hungarian currency disappeared, and (approximately after 1270) both in Hungary and in Romanian territories there began to circulate a type of currency known as denarius banalis or ban, minted by governors (bani) of Slavonia, who were vassals of the

Such problems of chronology and of precedence remain for others to solve. What I can say at this point is that the connection between ban feudal title and ban money can hardly be denied, and that both the former and the latter show very old age on Romanian grounds. 44 Also, in regard to the use of both ban feudal title and ban money in the Romanian principalities after the 14th century, I have foundthe two terms side by side in a Romanian document of 1603 (HASDEU 1983, 170 my italics): fostau dat popa Stanciul n mna

IwillnowreturntoCiornescuandtowhatappearstobehisdim intuitionofaGermanicoriginofRmn.ban.Ciornescuwasnotinfavorof a relationship between ban feudal title and ban money, which are treated as two distinct words in his dictionary. Rather intriguing is that whereas he (as mentioned above) joins the traditional opinion about an Avaric origin of the former term, in the case of the latter he has very peculiar views and gives surprising details. Among other things, CiornescumentionsthatthereisnotonlyBulg.bansmallcoin,butalso apluralformbaniusedbyMeglenoRomanians.AsfortheoriginofRmn. ban coin, money, Ciornescu openly rejects the connection with ban feudal title (as proposed by Hasdeu and Tiktin), and he prefers to consider that the term is of unknown origin. Nevertheless, the same authorimmediatelyadds:

Probably what we have in this case is the Germanic word ban, M.Lat.bannusproclamation,banns,whichcametomean,among many other things, fine for crimes against authority, or contribution paid to the feudal lord (cf. the 7th12thcentury examples in Niemeyer 823). The change of sense might be explained through the necessity of paying fines by cash, in a period in which currency was not usual. What remains to be clarified is the way of the borrowing; it was probably done via Hungarian. 46

In rough translation: the sum of twenty thousand aspers in cash has been given by Stanciul the priest to the hand of Hrizea the porter and to his wife SamfiraandtothebanusAndreiuthemonk. 46 The final part of the statement is confusing, taking into consideration that among the examples given by Ciornescu (loc.cit.) there is a Hung bny coin, presentedbyhimasaborrowingfromRomanian.

Had Ciornescu insisted on the M.Lat. bannus connection, and on the capital semantic sphere of feudal authority, rather than on the finepaidbycash,hecouldhave drawnamorecredibleconclusionon the origin of both ban money and ban feudal title, whose source is undeniablyOldGermanic. Peculiarmeaningsandderivations Whereas in Western Romance the acquision of an Old Germanic bann mainly via Mediaeval Latin bannus (bannum) has been generally assumed (as reflected in dictionaries), the similar acquisition of the same OldGermanictermintheLateVulgarLatinusedinSoutheastEurope,or inprotoRomanianisamoredifficultproblem.Toblameforthatsituation ismainlythelackofdocumentsfromtheperiond(5th7thcenturies)during which Romanian was being shaped as a distinct historical language. Nevertheless, even in the absence of documents, Romanian provides, by itself,sufficientindicationsinthematterunderdiscussion.Severalcluesto thevery old age ofbanin Romanian have alreadybeen mentionedsee, for instance, the numerous Romanian propernames of the Ban family discussed above. Besides those, and besides the series of derivatives transparently derived fom ban coin, money, there is a multitude of Romanianderivativesfromban,suchasbneaswifeofabanus,bneasc name of a Romanian folk dance, bni to grant the title of banus to someone, bnie jurisdiction or residence of a banus, bnior boyar of a ranklowerthanthatofabanus,etc.(alltobefoundasseparateentriesin MDA,I,2001). There also is, in Romanian, a seemingly separate term, a verb whose obsoleteregional meanings I consider to be of capital importance for this demonstration. The verb is given in MDA as bni, with three meanings (the first marked as obsolete, the other two as regional): 1. to negociate;2.nottoleavesomebodyinpeace;3.torepent.MDApresents that verb neither as derived from Rmn. ban, nor as based on Hung. bn feudal title, but on the Hungarian verb bnni. The dictionary gives no meaning for the assumed sourceword, so I may take into consideration twoHungarianverbalradicalsthatareseparatelygiveninKelemen1964:

bn (in its unsuffixed form), with the meanings to regret, to feel remorseful, and bn/ik to behave in a certain way (with somebody), to treat (somebody) in a certain way, to handle. As I will demonstrate below, the meanings of those Hungarian terms reflect more recent semanticshifts(towardsmoregeneralabstractmeanings),whichmeanta gettingawayfromthesemanticsphereoftheactualOldGermanicsource term bann. Rmn. bni (especially by its first and second meanings) and several other Romanian related terms (see below) show correspondence with that Old Germanic semantic sphere, whose principal reference is to anarchaicjuridicalsystem. In her presentation of the correspondents of Hung. bn, Schubert (1982) misses several important things. First, although she assumes (p. 161) a transfer such as Hung bn(ni) > Rmn. bnui to suspect (argwhnen), 47 she proposes no connection between the latter and the family of bn feudal title. Also, she does not mention the existence of Rmn.bnitonegociate,nottoleavesomebodyinpeace,torepent(asa relative of both ban and bnui). Moreover, after having finished her presentationofcorrespondentsofHung.bnfeudaltitle,Schubertpasses to those of Hung. bnt to bother, mistreat, hinder, plague (behelligen, mihandeln, behindern, plagen) without assuming that, etymologically, she actually remained on the same ground (that is, on the ground of etymological relatives of Hung. bn feudal title). As Schuberts states, bnt (first recorded in Hungarian in the 14th century) appears to be a
I will not insist here on the fact that Schubert and other specialists (see especiallyPUCARIU1976,275andROSETTI1986,383)perpetuatedanopinion according to which the Romanian infinitive ending ui has its origin in South Slavicovat.Thelatterissupposedbyarathercomplicatedlogictohavebeen appliedtocertainHungarianverbsthatenteredRomanian(cf.Rmn.bnui,bntui) only after having passed through South Slavic.

The existence of a Friulan term (of Old Germanic origin) with a form like bant and a meaning like banishment can be a good startingpointforanexplanationofHung.bnt.AsfortheRomanianverb bntu(1stpers.sg.indic.pres.bntui,withinitialstress),thattermcannot possiblycomefromHungarian,forseveralreasons.

SchubertdidnotassumeanyetymologicaltiebetweenHung.bntitleof nobility and Hung. bn to regret (which she sees as basis of bnt); but such a tie results from the very illustrative material given in Schubert (1982, 257258). In that respect, obviously juridical senses are visible in both SerbianCroatian and Romanian correspondents of Hung. bnt. The source and original meaning of the latter could be clarified by mere reference to Serb.Croat. bantovati molestare, impedire, a term that was recordedinkroatischenRechtsverordnungenseitdem15.Jahrhundert according to Schubert (1982, 257). The same author (1982, 257) mentions other old SerbianCroatian terms of the same lexical family: bantovanje molestia,vexatio,impedimentum;bantovateljvexatorand(simplestbut notleast)bantamolestia. 51 Semantically, Rmn. bntui is a quite complex term, and it shows more similarity to SerbianCroatian bant correspondents than that to Hung.bnttobother,mistreat,hinder,plague(supposedlyderivedfrom bn to regret). Rmn. bntui (first recorded at the beginning of the 17th century)hasthefollowingmeanings:tobother,haunt(aboutevilspirits), pester, pillage (about invaders), ravage, damage, put to trial, punish. (Amongotherthings,DEX,s.v.bntui,givestheRomanianobsoleteoath S m bntuie Dumnezeu! May God punish me!) The word under discussion has several important derivatives: bntuial impediment, plunder, trial, temptation, bntuire persecution, trouble, sorrow, pillage, devastation, damage, and bntuitor oppressor. The earliest recorded meaningsofRmn.bntuirevealaconnectionbetweenthatwordandthe lexical family represented by Romanian bni, bni, bnui (see above), as well as bnat (commonly presented as based on Hung. bnat sorrow).

That connection is sustained not exactly by the (obviously more recent) RomanianmeaningsthatcorrespondtoHungarianones(mistreat,bother, regret), but rather by the obsolete meanings that correspond to the juridical sphere observed by Schubert in the case of the abovementioned SerbianCroatian lexical family. Here are those early meanings of the Romanian terms under discussion, as given in a dictionary of 17th18th centuryRomanian(COSTINESCUetal.1987mytranslations):(1)bnat accusation, imputation, reprimand, remonstrance, suspicion(besides the more recent meanings of sorrow, regret, remorse, anger, trouble, spite); (2)bnitopunish(besidestonegociate,andbesidestograntsomeone thetitleofbanus,ameaningusuallypresentedasbelongingtoaseparate, homonymic term); (3) bnui same asbni; (4) bnui to suspect (besides to regret, to envy, to get angry);(5) bnuial suspicion (besides regret, remorse). In fact, even in presentday Romanian bnui and bnuial stillrefer to thenotion of suspicion(juridicallytoo). And, in this context, we should not forget about the abovementioned Rmn. bntui,whichiscurrentlyusedwiththemeaningstohaunt,toroam,but which earlier meant to bother, damage, put to trial, punish, 52 as presented in MDA. Without the abovementioned old meanings we would not have any clear arguments in favour of a connection between, on the one hand, Rmn. ban feudal title (with its deduced reference to a pre and protofeudal juridical system of Old Germanic extraction) and, on the other hand, the old juridical meanings shown by the Romanian terms presented above. If they were mere borrowings from Hungarian, they would show the more generalabstract meanings (regret, remorse, sorrow)oftheirHungariancorrespondents,whichappeartoreflectmore recentsemanticshifts. 53

Generalconclusions Whatresultsfromthedemonstrationaboveis,firstofall,thatthe Germanic bann category of terms developed from primitive Indo European ones that referred to very archaic religiousjuridical notions. Suchtermswerespecifictotimesinwhichcommandmentsandlawswere believed to be transmitted by divinities to humans, through the voice of exceptional (or professional) individuals. In course of time, such individualswereinturnmedicinemen,prophets,priestkings,andtribal magistrates. The last two stages represent the times during which the actual Germanic Vlkerwanderung began. When mere destruction and plunderwasreplacedbyprofitableconquest,Germanictribalmagistrates (probably still having some religious prestige too) came to dominate not only the life of their own tribes, but also the life of nonGermanic populations that came under Germanic control. Such was the period in which nonGermanics of CentralEastern Europe became familiar with andadoptedGermanicjuridicaltermsofthebannfamily. AterritorywiththenameofBanat(madeofanOldGermanicroot plus a Latin suffix, at) survived through the Middle Ages into modern times exactly in the DanubianCarpathian area once covered by the kingdomoftheGepids.ThereforeonecanassumethatLatinizedformlike banus and banatus were already in use among speakers of Vulgar Latin (and/or of protoRomance) in areas controlled by the Gepids. However, we cannot exclude other Germanic idioms (such as those of the Goths, Langobards,orVandals,orevenoftheearlierBastarnae)assourcesofthe banandbanttermsthatweretosurviveinCentralandSoutheastEurope. Those terms can have been perpetuated by local populations after the destructionoftheGepidickingdom,thenthroughthetimesdominatedby Avars and Slavs. When they moved south, the ancestors of SouthSlavs, notably those of the Serbians and the Croatians, must have borrowed (from preSlavic populations of DanubianCarpathian regions) Germanisms of the ban and bant types, which became bases for peculiar
juridical meanings) at the time of the earliest contacts and exchanges between RomanianandHungarian.

Of course, there is a series of deficiencies if we take into account the level of researchesondifferentmattersofthisdomain,buttheyaretheresultofa lackofinformationandnotofmethodologicalmistakes.Moreover,asthe author remarks, over the last years, due to new researches, new dates seem to contribute to the framing of a general picture of the domestic industry in the Roman province. A second part of this study reflects analyses regarding the exploitation of the natural resources (salt, stone), orereductionandmetalworking(plumb,bronze,goldandsilver),stone workshops,buildingmaterialsandceramicsproducingworkshops,bone, horn, glass and semiprecious stone working, and also aspects hard to reconstitutelike theweavingandskindressinghouseholdworkshopsor the quotidian habitat.

AnaCtina,ThepottersfromPotaissaandtheirceramicsproducts(pp. 123150), renders the image of this important pottery centre reflected in the local terra sigillata production, stamped ceramics, paterae handles (alreadyanalysedbyV.RusuBolinde),Dragendorf39shapes,antefixes and lamps.

Norman A. Doenges, Pollentia. A Roman Colony on the Island of Mallorca,BARInternationalSeries1404,Oxford2005,73pp.,ISBN184171 8459. The publishing, in the prestigious collection BAR IS, of a monograph dedicated to a well known Roman city, fully justifies a brief presentationoftheauthorsmainworksandalsotheobservationsraised by the lecture this volume. The admirable work of Doenges must be underlinedfromthebeginning,butalsothefactthatduetosuchstudies, whichgatherdifferentarticlespresentedonotheroccasions,weareableto clarify the general picture of the urban life in the Empire. The contributions concerning the ancient topography, thenewarchaeological researchmethods,thestudyofthematerialdiscoveredandtheanalogies offered by this very useful in researching sites less well preserved, whichrevealarichinventory,unfortunatelyoutofaclearstratigraphical context represent defining elements for monographs of this type. Pollentia seems to successfully subscribe to such a list, the only minus representing, in the authors opinion, the presentation of the archaeologicalmaterial,extremelyconciseinmostofthecases. The volume contains four chapters and a bibliography, all precededbyaTableofContents,ListofIllustrationsandPreface.Chapter1.

endswithaseriesofdiscussionsinregardtothesizeofthecityandthe measures taken by the government for protecting the archaeological site (ThesizeofPollentia,Governmentprotection). Chapter 2. The Forum of Pollentia, on pp. 1322, begins with a general overview followed by a presentation of The Capitolium, which reflectsaverycloseanalogyatCosa(themiddleofthe2ndcent.B.C.).On the base ofthe Arretinian sigillata fragments the time of its building was established in the Augustus age, but its ceasing date is not clear yet, although some areashave surviveduntilthe5th cent.A.D.The Northeast Temple or Monument is another structure that brings up functionality questions. In the authors opinion, its shape reminds of a monument pedestalandthediscoveryofahorsehead,comingfromastatuarybronze group, seems to underline this presumption. But, in spite of this morphologicalargument,accordingtowhichtheplatformshouldfitsuch amonument,theauthordoesntbringanyclearanalogiesinthismatter.It isaboutTheEastTemple,asmallsizedbuilding,andTheOpenAreaofthe Forum, with its altar (in Doenges opinion, reflecting analogies with Ara dellaReginafromTarquiniaandthealtaroftheCapitoliumfromCosa)or rostrum (by its first discoverers). As concerns the Forum from Pollentia, this ceased to exist during the 4th cent. A. D. At the same time the four tabernae from the Western side were burnt. This chronological frame is alsotheterminusofthenumismaticinventory,thelastcoinsdatingbackto Valentinian(378383)andTeodosius(383387).Containingmorethanthe 200gravesstudiedbynow,thenecropolisfromForum(ForumNecropolis) atteststhreeburyingtypes:insimplehole,gravescoveredbythinmarble plates and cista/ cist graves made of marble plates or covered by earth mounds.

Chapter3.Themostconsistentpartofthisstudy,TheDarthmouth College Sector, on pp. 2349, represents the area researched to the North West from the Forum, not too far from the Capitolium. Effected under Darthmouth College and Bryant Foundations aegis, the researches from this place started in the summer of 1986, for the purpose of studying a cisterna. The main places discovered were grouped in two complexes: WesternUnitandEasternUnit.Threerooms,notedV,X,Y,andTheWest Streetbelongtothefirstcomplex.Threeunidentifiedcoinsandasestertius from Severus Alexanders period were found in the last mentioned area. But the archaeological inventory is enumerated without specifying its stratigraphical context or showing any drawings, on categories or quantities (e.g. two bronze rings). However the authors contributions concerningthecitystopographyareveryinteresting;afterananalysisof the plans and measurements from this area and Sa Portella, Doenges established that the city was built in standard insulae of 87 Roman steps (26.00m). Room Y is considered a taberna that had connections to Room X, representing the same time a working place and deposit. Although its stratigraphyisaccuratelydescribed,theceramicisconcisely(onlyitstype) and insipid enumerated: hand worked (Talayotic), Campanian B, ArretinianterrasigillataandterrasigillataGallica,AfricanAandC.Therest of the inventory, selectively mentioned, by the principle of special interests,isnotaccompaniedbydrawingsoranalogiesandphotosofthis are quite rare. This should be remarked so much the more as the archaeologicalinventoryisrichandvarious.So,thestratigraphyofthese discoveries, clear in most of the cases, would have offered an excellent comparanda for other places of the Empire. The same situation is encounteredinthecaseofthediscoveriesfromRoomXandV:therewere discovered lots of metal artefacts, typologically varied, unfortunately just mentionedandonlysomeofthemaccompaniedbyphotos.TheEastUnit,a complexruinedsomewherebetween270and280A.D.ispresentedinthe samemanner.

topography.Accordingtothis,theareasresearchedduringthelastyears wereRoomZ,WestStreet,RoomA,B,TheLateFortificationWallandtheLate Room South of the Capitolium. However, Doenges made a general presentation of these discoveries without pointing too much to the inventorybroughtout. H. B. Mattingly is the one that signs Chapter 5. Pollentia: History andCoinage,presentingalongthepp.6069thenumismaticdiscoveriesof this site. From the statistical point of view, the coins number 10 foreign samples belonging to the Republican age (Foreign coins of the Republican period), 22 Roman Republican samples (Roman Republican Coinage), 4 foreign samples belonging to the Imperial age (Foreign coinage of the Imperial period) and Roman Imperial samples (Augustus Nero, 4 coins; Vespasian Commodus, 103 coins; Septimius Severus Carinus, 104 coins;DiocletianConstantiusII,12coins;ValentinianTheodosius I,4 coins). Bibliografia, on pp. 7173, ends this interesting volume, which stands for a valuable model of presenting the results of researches. We may pass over several minuses concerning the manner of presenting the archaeological inventory if we take into consideration the punctual characterofthisworkandthefactthatitrepresentsanewcontributionon thelistofmonographsdedicatedtotheimperialcities.
