The most significant change that occurred with the growth and expansion of Roman power in the Greek world was the piecemeal introduction of Roman names towards the end of the Hellenistic age, and, in due course, with the bestowal of Roman citizenship, the very different onomastic formulae of which led to varieties in terminology, as the Greek-speaking population was increasingly affected by the system of nomenclature employed by the Romans, and bestowed in due course on them. This chapter focuses on the changes that occurred in the traditional Greek system of ethnic forms and usage. The discussion covers multiple civic ethnics and the establishment of Christian communities in and after the fourth century.

The Children, Young Persons, and Their Families (Youth Courts Jurisdiction and Orders) Amendment Act 2010, which came into effect on 1 October 2010, could be considered the most significant change to the Children, Young Persons, and Their Families Act since its introduction in 1989. The new Act has two main functions: it extends the jurisdiction of the Youth Court and gives the Court a new range of orders. This paper analyses s 14 of the new Act which extends the jurisdiction to 12 and 13 year old serious and recidivist offenders. The paper assesses what problem Parliament was trying to address with this amendment. It argues that the change in jurisdiction could be said to be motivated by populist politics rather than addressing a known change in child offending. The paper then explores how s 14 changes the underlying assumptions about the level of responsibility we attribute to children. It then recommends that serious and recidivist offenders continue to be dealt with by the Family Court. The paper acknowledges, however, that changes could be made to strengthen the Family Court's existing powers to ensure children are dealt with more effectively.

LABURPENA: Oro har naturagune babestuen eta bereziki Parke Nazionalen arloko eskumenen banaketatik abiatuta, eta gure ordenamendu juridikoan dagoen koordinazioahalmenetik abiatuta, Estatuaren koordinazio-lana areagotu ahal izateko elementu guztiak aztertzen ditugu, hori baita Parke Nazionalei buruzko berehalako lege-erreformako aldaketa nagusia. Estatuaren koordinazio-lana handitu ahal izateko sartutako elementuen zentzua, erabilgarritasuna, eraginkortasuna eta konstituzionaltasuna aztertzen dugu lan honetan. Gure ustez gure ordenamenduarekin koherenteak ez diren alderdiak ere adierazten ditugu, eta legegileak horren aurrean jarraitu beharko lukeen bidea erakusten dugu. RESUMEN: Partiendo del reparto competencial asentado en la materia de los espacios naturales protegidos, en general, y de los Parques Nacionales, en particular, y del concepto y ejercicio de la potestad de coordinación existente en nuestro ordenamiento jurídico, analizamos la batería de elementos que llevan a incrementar el papel coordinador del Estado, que consideramos constituye el cambio más trascendental de la inmediata reforma de la ley de Parques Nacionales. En este estudio analizamos el sentido, la utilidad, operatividad y constitucionalidad de los elementos introducidos para aumentar el papel coordinador del Estado. Al mismo tiempo, señalamos aquellos aspectos que consideramos que no son coherentes con nuestro ordenamiento y apuntamos el camino que tendría que seguir el legislador al respecto. ABSTRACT: On the basis of the allocation of powers regarding the protected natural spaces in general and National Parks in particular, and the concept and exercise of the power of coordination which exists in our legal order we analyze a set of elements which lead to promote the role of coordination by the State, which we consider to be the most significant change in the immediate reform of the Act on National Parks. We analyze in this study the meaning, the utility, operativity and constitutionality of the elements introduced in order to promote the role of coordination by the State. At the same time, we note those features that we consider that are not coherent with our order and in that regard we show the path to be followed by the legislator.

Of Greece

The arrangements made in ancient cities for the management and use of water varied over the extent of the Greek world, depending on local topography and geology. They also varied by time period. In the absence of detailed whole-site studies, we can no more than suggest some of those differences. Our method will be to examine one early city and one late, looking for similarities and differences. The chosen examples share the useful (for us) feature of having been destroyed, so that their ruins preserve a set of arrangements not diluted by later habitation. The examples chosen are Olynthos in northeast Greece, destroyed at the end of the fourth century B.C., and Pompeii near Naples in southern Italy, destroyed in A.D. 79. A description of each will point out features that are typical for that time period, and we will conclude with a direct comparison of the two water management systems. Olynthos (Fig. 13.1) is located in northeastern Greece, at the base of the left peninsula of the set of three which also includes Mount Athos. Geological maps of the area (Institute of Geology and Mineral Exploration, “Geology of Greece” series (1:50,000), Athens, Greece, ca. 1984) show that a large limestone massif terminates just to the north of the site, and could be tapped for its karst waters. Indeed, a pipeline was found coming southward for five miles (D.M. Robinson, 1935, 219 ff and fig. 12; Robinson and Clement, 1938), from the springs near Polygyros and from northeast of the church of Hagios Nicolas. More traces of the line were observed in the plain. In Volume II of the Olynthos excavation reports (Robinson, 1930, 12), the line is thought to be sixth century because of some fragments of black-figure vases found with it in the dig, yet in Volume XII this aqueduct was declared fifth or fourth century because of its beautifully cemented joints with mortar of pure lime with a little silica (Robinson, 1946, 107). The line is described as having pipes about 3 inches thick (.45 centimeters), and therefore is probably a pressure pipe.

Abstract Democratic Athens seems to have been the first place in the Greek world where there developed systematically a positive theorising of kingship. Initially this might seem surprising, since the Athenians had a strong tradition of rejecting one-man-rule. The study of kingship among the political thinkers of the fifth and fourth century has not received much scholarly attention until recent years, and particularly not the striking fact that it was democratic Athens, or at least writers directing themselves to an Athenian democratic audience, that produced a positive theorising of kingship. The aim of this essay, then, is not only to show how the political language around kingship became a way of forming definitions of what democracy was and was not, but also (more significantly), among some fourth-century intellectuals, of shaping new ideas about what it could be.
