Although kingship was vital for a barbarian society to survive on Roman soil, it wasn’t a uniform or even monarchic institution. Different types of kingly figures fulfilled functions, mainly military. The third-century author Dexippos remarked that the leading strata of barbarian societies did not lag behind kings in respect to dignity and fortune (týche). However, popular literature argues that commonness was what guaranteed the existence of Gothic identity, although without their own kings the Goths and their traditions would have disappeared long ago.

There is no book that states the grammatical attribute of tamizh literature more elegantly than Tolkāppiyam. Tolkāppiyam is one of the oldest Tamil literature which was written in the third century by Tolkāppiyar. Tolkāppiyar divided Tolkāppiyam into three chapters: letters (Eḻuttu), word (Col), and meaning (Poruḷ). The first chapter is letters (Eḻuttu). The noun (Eḻuttu) is made out of the verb (ezhu). Even though the word ezhu can come with various meanings, in this case it indicates something that has taken shape. Tolkāppiyar has divided the grammar of letters into two different types: The First (Muthal) and The Dependant (Charpu). The First type letters can be divided into two more types which are vowels (Uyir) and consonants (Mei). The vowels (Uyir eḻuttu) also can be divided into two types called (kuril) which produce short sounds and (nedil) which produce long sounds. The consonants have their own types, which are (Valliṉam), (Melliṉam) and (Iṭaiyiṉam). Valliṉam letters produce hard sound while melliṉam consonants produce soft sound and iṭaiyiṉam consonants produce medium sound. Moving on from the The First letters type, The Dependant type letters can be divided in three types: (Kuṟṟiyalukaram), (Kuṟṟiyalikaram), (Āyutam). Besides Tolkāppiyar, Agathiyar also have described the grammar of tamizh literature very precisely. Agathiyam which written by Agathiyar describes grammatical features of letters (Eḻuttu), word (Col), meaning (Poruḷ), consecration (Yaappu), team (Ani).

Methodological Approaches

The writings of Roman jurists from the first until the third century AD show different methodological approaches to law. These differences do not only occur between different jurists, but can be found within the work of one juridical author. Since the nineteenth century, the historical analysis of these writings has tried to reveal common structures and methodological assumptions that may lie behind different types of these legal writings. This task is complicated by the state of transmission of the writings that have essentially been passed down on us within the Justinian Compilation, i.e. in an abbreviated or even mutilated form. Keeping in mind the possible alterations, one can nevertheless try to unite different writings under a common heading. This chapter explores the different groups into which the works of these jurists may be classified from the viewpoint of a narrative analysis of law.

Generic Difference

In the second half of the third centurybceRoman historical epic (notably that written by Naevius and Ennius) and Roman historiography (notably that of Fabius Pictor) came into being at roughly the same time. Whether and in what ways these two literary forms may have mutually influenced each other in their early development is a matter of debate, but it is obvious that there are both similarities and a generic difference, demonstrated by the use of prose or verse respectively and the accompanying style. Such characteristics enable a distinction between different types of narrative, even if the same events in Roman history are covered.

Important Means

The recognition of topoi, i.e. traditional formulae, is an important means of musical analysis. To illustrate this, the paper discusses the types of the battaglia and the pastoral in Bach’s Cantata Halt im Gedächtnis Jesum Christ, and briefly enumerates different types of allusions to jazz in 20th-century compositions by Stravinsky, Milhaud, Blacher, Tippet, and Zimmermann. Then it raises the possibility of an analysis of topoi in Bartók’s music in four main categories. It considers Bartók’s musical quotations from Bach to Shostakovich; the chorale as special topos appearing in Mikrokosmos, in the Concerto for Orchestra, in the Adagio religioso of the Third Piano Concerto; the topos-like employment of the tritone; and finally the idea of a Bartókian Arcadia in the Finale of Music for Strings, and the integration of bird song in the Adagio religioso.

The Subject

Translocation – Transformation is an ambitious contribution to the subject of mobility. Materially, it interlinks seemingly disparate objects into a surprisingly unified exhibition on mobile histories and heritages: twelve bronze zodiac heads, silk and bamboo creatures, worn life vests, pressed Pu-erh tea, thousands of broken antique teapot spouts, and an ancestral wooden temple from the Ming dynasty (1368–1644) used by a tea-trading family. Historically and politically, the exhibition engages Chinese stories from the third century BCE, empires in eighteenth-century Austria and China, the Second Opium War in the nineteenth century, the Chinese Cultural Revolution of the mid-twentieth century, and today’s global refugee crisis.

Key Issues

This chapter discusses the key issues surrounding Perpetua’s life and her narrative, the Passio Sanctarum Perpetuae et Felicitatis. It introduces the most perplexing circumstances around her life and times: the authorship of her Passio (which is written in at least three different hands); her life and family; the conditions of her martyrdom and of martyrdoms during the pre-Constantinian period; the status of martyrdom texts as personal, social, or historical documents; whether persecutions can be historically verified or were exaggerated by the Christians and others; and the afterlife of Perpetua and her text in writers from the third century to contemporary times. The introduction lays out the arguments for these thorny issues and tries to find a reasonable position on each one.

Total Lack

In this chapter, papyrus letters sent from superiors to their inferiors are studied on the basis of test cases ranging across the Graeco-Roman period in Egypt, from the third century BCE to the third century CE. This correspondence is drawn from four archival groups of texts: the archive of Zenon; the letters of L. Bellienus Gemellus and the letters of the sons of Patron; and the Heroninus archive. The letters are usually short, full of imperatives, and characterized by the absence of philophronetic formulae. Recurrent themes of the correspondence are urgency, rebukes, orders, and interdictions, and there is an almost total lack of polite phrases.

Late Roman

This chapter begins by considering what made the late Roman state distinctive from the early Empire, exploring the political developments of the later third century, in particular the military, administrative, and economic reforms undertaken by the tetrarchs. It then explores the presentation of the war between the tetrarchy and the British Empire of Carausius and Allectus (286‒96), taking as its core sources Pan. Lat. X, XI, and VIII. These speeches are unique in the panegyrical corpus, in that two of them (X and XI) were delivered while the usurpation they describe was still under way, the third (VIII) after it was defeated. In this chapter, we see how the British Empire was ‘othered’ as piratical and barbarian, and how conflict with it helped to create the distinctive ideology of the tetrarchy.
