La population dans le milieu rural d'une province péripherique de l'Empire romain
The Roman province of Moesia inferior, covering northern Bulgaria and southeastern Romania, was gradually integrated into the Roman Empire through various methods of territorial occupation. Soldiers and veterans played a crucial role in the interaction between Roman colonists and the local population, particularly in terms of epigraphic practices. Natives were not only recruited into the Roman army but also partially or fully integrated into its structure. The book primarily adopts an epigraphical approach while also considering archaeological aspects. The author aims to identify the origins of individuals mentioned in rural inscriptions and to understand their presence in Moesia Inferior's countryside. Following a brief review of historiography on Roman rural structures, the author explores the demographic origins within the rural contexts of key cities in the province. The work examines the roles of veterans as landowners, their political influence in rural life, local soldiers of rural descent in the Roman army, and the dynamics of landlordship in the countryside. Additionally, it addresses "mixed" names in the rural area, highlighting Roman-native interactions in onomastics. The analysis culminates in discussing the impact of Roman colonization on the rural milieu and its significance in the broader Romanization process of Moesia Inferior.
Dieser Band befasst sich mit einem wichtigen Aspekt des griechisch-römischen Altertums: der Migration in Beziehung zu Akkulturation und Kolonisierung. Diese drei komplementären Prozesse im Osten des Mittelmeerraumes und im Balkanraum für die helenistische und die römische Zeit wurden bislang besonders in linguistischer und epigraphischer Hinsicht untersucht.
This book treats the slavery problem in the Roman provinces in the Balkan-Danubian area (Dalmatia, Pannonia, Dacia, Moesia) which corresponds with territories of former communist countries (Hungary, former Yugoslavia, Romania and Bulgaria). This problem was partially treated before 1989, but from the perspective of class struggle between the slaves and their masters. The work is structured in two main parts: one deals with imperial freedmen and slaves, the other with private freedmen. The difference between these two categories is essential: the imperial freedmen and slaves are officially employed in important bureaus of the emperors‘ offices and their material and social status is often very high, while the private freedmen who could overcame their juridical status through wealth and municipal honours were only a few. In comparison with other western provinces of the Roman Empire, the social status of freedmen in the Illyrian provinces is not essentially different. The specific features of this social category in the studied area is given by the functions occupied by the imperial freedmen and slaves in administrations (especially in mining administration, which was a particularity for provinces like Dacia, Dalmatia or Moesia Superior).

Die historische Demographie der römischen Welt genießt in den letzten Jahren große Aufmerksamkeit in der althistorischen Forschung. Dies hat seinen Grund nicht zuletzt in der häufigen Erklärung historischer Entwicklungen und Prozesse durch demographische Umstände. Insbesondere ist hier an die Entwicklung der Bevölkerungszahlen in einem gegebenen Raum zu denken. Darüber hinaus werden auch Fragen der Eheschließung, des Geschlechterverhältnisses, der Sterblichkeit und anderes mehr thematisiert. Lucretiu Mihailescu-Bîrliba legt mit seiner Arbeit nun eine profunde Untersuchung der demographischen Gegebenheiten im römischen Dakien auf der Grundlage der epigraphischen Überlieferung vor. Breite Berücksichtigung findet ferner der anthropologische Befund aus dakischen Nekropolen. Nach einer ausführlichen Würdigung des Forschungsstandes analysiert der Verfasser die Lebenserwartung und Altersstruktur, die Sterblichkeit, die demographischen Umstände der Eheschließung, Fertilität und Familienstruktur im römischen Dakien. Gesonderte Betrachtung unter demographischen Fragestellungen finden einzelne gesellschaftliche Gruppierungen, namentlich die lokale Oberschicht, die Soldaten und die Sklaven.
