The Republic

ABSTRACTThe provincial coinage of the Roman Empire has proven to be a rich source for studying civic experiences of Roman rule, but the coins struck outside Rome during the expansion of the Roman Republic have, by contrast, received relatively little attention. This article aims to begin redressing this neglect by exploring the active rôle of coinage in conceptualizing and representing Roman Republican power. A variety of approaches to this neglected material are employed in order to highlight its potential as a source. Ambiguity, iconology, and entanglement are used as frameworks to explore case studies from across the Roman Republican world, from Spain to Syria. This approach to coin imagery under the Republic reveals the complexity and variety in which the Roman presence, and Romanimperium, was represented before the advent of the Principate.

The Battle of Lepanto, celebrated as the greatest triumph of Christendom over its Ottoman enemy, was soon transformed into a powerful myth through a vast media campaign. Lepanto – or rather, the varied storytelling and the many visual representations that contributed to shape the perception of the battle in Christian Europe – is the main focus of this book. In a broader perspective, Lepanto and Beyond also gathers reflections on the construction of religious alterity and offers analyses of specific case studies taken from different fields, investigating the figure of the Muslim captive in reality, artistic depiction, and literature. With different themes related to the Republic of Genoa, the authors also aim to redress a perceived imbalance and to restore the important role of the Genoese in the general scholarly discussion on Lepanto and its images.

The Republic

Ancient Rome is a powerful metaphor in the western imagination. It is very much alive today. The Roman Republic inspires images of democracy and the empire is the very epitome of decadence. The collapse of this, the greatest of empires, is a parable. The Progressive Era opened with overt imperial ambitions and ended with the collapse of Woodrow Wilson's plans for a Pax Americana. Throughout this period, the symbol of Rome was explicitly used to justify or condemn expansion, warn of the dangers of immigration and commercialization, attack America's enemies, and praise the nation's allies. To figures as diverse as Kaiser Wilhelm II, Henry Adams, and Theodore Roosevelt, Rome was both a model and a warning. Politicians, historians and other commentators saw America as heir to the Roman legacy. Race theorizers claimed that Americans were either the modern Romans or the descendants of the Barbarians—promoters of ordered modernity or champions of individual democracy.

The Impact

This article belongs to a forthcoming special cluster, “Contention Politics and International Statebuilding in Southeast Europe” guest-edited by Nemanja Džuverovic, Julia Rone and Tom Junes. This article looks at the impact of one of the recent waves of mobilization in the Republic of Macedonia, the “Citizens for Macedonia” platform, over policy outcomes that originally derived from the movement actor. Furthermore, the text highlights the crucial role of the international community in shaping and implementing the policy outcomes, playing the role of international statebuilders in the process of reintroducing of democracy in the captured Macedonian state. The theoretical framework and the literature review present an attempt to bridge contemporary works on social movement studies with those on democratization and international state building. A lot of emphasis is also put on the peculiar political opportunity structure, and the difficult and movement-unfriendly conditions in which the citizens’ platform operated. On the other hand, the article tries to show the gains and losses of a coalition between an established political party, and a loose horizontal network of citizens and citizens’ organizations that advocate for rule of law and protection of human rights. The central conclusions that can be extrapolated from this work are the strong and committed claims by the movement, articulated through various repertoires of action, but also the active role of the international community, which presented a conditio sine qua non, bringing down the regime led by former PM Nikola Gruevski and freeing the state institutions previously occupied by the political parties in power.

Youth is an important figure of the national movement because youth are the pillars of national development and the future State of Indonesia. However, one of the problems facing Indonesia today is the involvement of youth in radicalism and terrorism. Answering this problem, this research uses normative juridical research methods with a statutory and conceptual approach. This research shows the need for the role and responsibility of youth in tackling radicalism and terrorism. The active role of youth is a reflection of moral strength, social control and agents of change in the development of the nation and the State of Indonesia, while the responsibility of youth can be carried out with masohi militancy efforts. Masohi militancy is a youth attitude that reflects resilience, enthusiasm and passion to cooperate with each other in tackling radicalism and terrorism in Indonesia which is realized through “Panca-P” namely Pembangunan kepemudaan, Pelayanan kepemudaan, Penyadaran pemuda, Pemberdayaan pemuda and Pengembangan pemuda (Youth Development, Youth Services, Youth Awareness, Youth Empowerment, and Youth Development).

Sustainable Economic Growth

The purpose of the research is to substantiate the scientific concept of the role of tax revenues in ensuring sustainable economic growth of the Republic of Kazakhstan. In accordance with the set task, the following tasks were solved in the study: to study the theoretical aspects of tax revenues and its impact on economic growth; to analyze and give an objective assessment of tax revenues. The methods of statistical, comparative, and factor analysis were used, and a historical, systematic, and comprehensive approach to the presentation of the material were applied. In analysis of findings and results, certain provisions were used from the practice of the Department of State Revenue for the city of Almaty and the Public Association "Chambers of tax consultants of the Republic of Kazakhstan". The scientific novelty of the research is that on the basis of a theoretical study of the current state of taxation, possible directions for increasing the degree of impact of the tax system on economic growth are justified. The following is the rationale for the place of taxes in the system of factors of economic growth. It is noted that taxes can play not only a negative, but also  a  positive,  and  even  an  active  role  in  changing  the  dynamics  of economic growth; the values and structure of tax revenues for regions and the country as a whole are analyzed. Theoretical and practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of using the obtained scientific results in the activities of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan and its structural subdivisions, the tax authorities at various levels, the Ministry of national economy of Kazakhstan. This research, being fundamental, can be used as a basis for training specialists in the field of Finance and taxation.

Forensic Rhetoric

The formalization of procedures and the codification of laws that would reach their height and sophistication in the Roman Empire were already under development in the Roman Republic. In addition to being a period of rapid legal development, especially in the refinement of judicial procedures, the Republic was also a period in which law was an intensely rhetorical activity. Advocates, who were often instructed in oral and literate rhetoric through training in declamation by sophists, recognized that persuading both jurors and public audiences was a way of securing legal verdicts and political influence. The “influences” that led to stable, inscribed laws were often the consequence of extensive argument, deliberation, and, on occasion, warfare. Roman forensic rhetoric, both oral and literate, was thus a dynamic activity in interpreting, arguing, and making law as well as a source of political power in the Republic.

Legitimate State

This paper offers a challenge to the conventional view of the lex sacrata which the Romans believed to have accompanied the establishment of the plebeian tribunate. According to most scholars, the lex sacrata was not technically a lex (law), but was rather an oath sworn by the plebs, enjoining them to protect the persons of the tribunes and to punish with death anyone who should harm the holders of this office. Originally it was only this oath that gave the tribunes their power, which developed into a true office of the Roman state only gradually. This interpretation serves as one of the major props in the widely-held interpretation of the early Roman Republic as being characterized by a “struggle of the orders” in which the plebeians formed a revolutionary “state within the state,” separate and distinct from the legitimate state, which was controlled by the patricians. By reexamining the sources for the traditional interpretation of the lex sacrata, this paper shows that all of the evidence suggests that the lex sacrata which guaranteed the inviolability of the plebeian tribunes was, in fact, a law of the Roman community, and that there is little if any support for the “oath” interpretation. With this understanding, a major prop in the communis opinio about the early Republic is undermined. Finally, the paper offers an alternative hypothesis for the role of leges sacratae in the development of the Republic.
