Romans 1 by 1. An insight into the population of Roman Dacia and Moesia Call name: Projects for Young Research Teams - RUTE -2014 call

Abstract:

The aim of Romans 1 by 1 is to construct the first complete population database for a well delimited geographical area of the ancient world, focused on the epigraphic sources from the Roman provinces Dacia, Moesia Superior and Moesia Inferior and to bring forth a novel overview on the attested population of this region. The ground-breaking nature of this scientific endeavour resides in its “pilot” character: for the first time in relation to ancient sources, we will establish a set of best practices rules and a viable metadata for a population database (a prerequisite instrument of our research), have the possibilities of longitudinal (diachronic) studies, cross-sectional (section in time) analyses, linkage and network studies. The `high risk – high gain` character of the project resides in its ambition of not only exhaustiveness (within the limitations imposed by the sources, of course), but as well of implementing new methodologies in researching ancient population; its interdisciplinary character links it with digital classics, as well as with historical demography and sociology, thus having the potential of producing valuable results for the research of Roman antiquity.

Our project aims at accomplishing two major goals for the study of ancient population: constructing the metadata for the database and presenting a series of studies regarding the characters nominally attested in provinces Dacia and Moesia.

Written Heritage of the Roman Civilization in Northern Romania Call name: Exploratory Research Projects - PCE-2011 call

Abstract:

The current project aims to achieve a complex, interdisciplinary analyze on the written culture, society and heritage of the northern Roman Dacia (Dacia Porolissensis).

The main scientific purpose of our research is to reconstruct, having the epigraphs as a solid starting point, the Roman civilization of Dacia Porolissensis, in as many aspects and regards as possible. Thus, we hope to fully bring the epigraphical research from Romania at the scholarly and scientific level of nowadays Europe, as well as to better understand the realities of the Roman Period in this limes province. The results will be relevant for anyone who studies general Roman history and culture. Most of all, they will be indispensable and sometimes starting points for the future development of certain auxiliary sciences, such as palaeography, glyptic, onomastics, prosopography etc. and of specific areas of research of the Roman civilization (army, population, religion, law etc.).
