In retrospect it has been easy to assume this. Indeed a profound shift in the degree to which politics came to depend upon the patronage of the leading house can clearly be traced in the primary sources. But did this alter what we choose to call the lawful 'constitution' of Rome? 2013-05-22T01:20:09.830Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25650 2013-05-21T02:20:08.535Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25623 28 page(s) 2013-05-19T23:30:17.682Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25586 13 page(s) 2013-05-16T08:11:23.405Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25587 7 page(s) 2013-05-16T08:11:20.951Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25588 55 page(s) 2013-05-16T08:11:19.352Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25593 30 pages(s) 2013-05-16T08:11:10.962Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25600 77 page(s) 2013-05-16T08:10:46.984Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25601 108 page(s) 2013-05-16T08:10:43.462Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25602 The status of the Malay lexical element in Tetum is contextually parallel to that of the Portuguese lexical element in Malay itself: a superstratum transformed into an adstratum by the advent of a new imperialism and a new superstratum (Dutch for Malay and Portuguese for Tetum). What principally distinguishes Malay and Tetum is the fact that the former, given its more westerly situation on the fringe of the Asian continent, had already been exposed to two potent linguistic influences: Sanskrit, the medium of Hinduism, and Arabic, the language of Islam. Before the fifteenth century the vocabulary of Tetum was entirely indigenous except for an infusion of Old Ambonese words. Whereas the Portuguese influence on Malay was merely one in a series of substrata (Sanskirt and Arabic elements always remaining numerically more important than the Portuguese component), the impact of the Malay superstratum in Tetum was great, reflecting as it did the introduction of a technologically more advanced culture into the island. Moreover, all the historic influences on Malay were condensed in this body of loanwords (apart from the last layer, that of English), with the result that before the mid-nineteenth century whatever there was of Sanskrit, Arabic, Persian, Hindi, Tamil, Chinese and Dutch in the vocabulary of Tetum had entered through the single door of Malay. 2013-05-16T08:10:40.760Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25604 This article examines the Timoric (Timorese Austronesian) language called Welaun by its own speakers and Bekais by its neighbours. It is spoken in five hamlets of the suco of Leohitu south of Balibó, on both sides of the East Timorese-Indonesian border. Some Bekais speakers also live in Cová and Balibó. In the past misclassified as a dialect of Tetum (the vernacular of Balibo), Bekais is actually a distinct Timoric language, structurally intermediate between Belunese Tetum and Dawan and is all that remains today of a language that appears to have spoken in a much wider tract of north-central Timor. Bakais was not only displace by Tetum, advancing from the high kingdom of Wehali in the south, but has been strongly influenced by it.Bekais is of particular interest because of the numerous archaisms in its vocabulary: Celebic lexemes of demonstrable Butonic origin which, given their fundamental nature, contribute to ruling out any possibility that the remarkable similarities between the Timoric languages and those of South-Eastern Celebes are due to contact phenomena. As a descendant of the original Celebic language introduced to Timor at least a millennium ago (‘Old Timorese’), Bekais shows in its vocabulary few of the later Ambonese and Malay elements that transformed Tetum, Dawan and Kemak. Like Tetum and unlike Kemar, it appears to have been little influenced by its pre-Austronesian substratum. 2013-05-16T08:10:31.924Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25606 19 page(s) 2013-05-16T08:10:28.518Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25605 70 page(s) 2013-05-16T08:10:23.750Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25510 Bookreview of 'The Reliefs of the Chapel of Nebhepetra Mentuhotep at Gebelein', by Marochetti, E.F.

As far as we know, Pannonian identity first appears in the written sources as an outsider’s depiction of the indigenous communities living in what will become Roman southern Pannonia and northern Dalmatia. After the Roman conquest, the narratives of Pannonianess become more complex and develop into what we can today see as a set of different outside labels, and internal self-perceptions relating to the roman province(s) of Pannonia, their regions, and individual communities. The focal point will be, in tune with this whole volume, Pannonian narratives from the southern parts of the province. It is impossible to treat Pannonian identities here in full detail – such an encompassing study would need a whole monograph, rather than just a single chapter. What we offer here is more an outline of the different identity-narratives rather than a full and thorough exploration of all available sources. 2013-04-11T11:45:19.089Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:21963 11 page(s) 2013-04-11T11:45:09.335Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25139 18 pages(s) 2013-04-11T11:23:08.540Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25140 9 pages(s) 2013-04-11T11:23:02.980Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25141 11 pages(s) 2013-04-11T11:23:02.611Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25133 14 page(s) 2013-04-09T00:10:04.469Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:24981 1.

We identify it as belonging to a genre designated as Hodayot or Thanksgiving Hymns. Its original Sitz-im-Leben (life-setting) is difficult to resolve and its function is much debated, but we propose that it was adapted and liturgically used in community worship. Specifically, it was most likely sung at the annual ceremony when new members were initiated into the community and existing members renewed their commitment. The ceremony is described in 1QS, hence the hymn’s inclusion in the “Community Rules”. The hymn reveals a highly ritualized religious life which was not merely internally spiritualized, but physically performed. It is through hymns like this and the ceremonies with which they were associated that the Qumran community was able to construct and bolster its unique identity. 2013-04-08T13:29:10.313Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25086 19 pages(s) 2013-04-08T13:28:28.445Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25081 16 pages(s) 2013-04-08T13:28:26.398Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25080 19 pages(s) 2013-04-08T13:28:23.321Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25082 17 pages(s) 2013-04-08T13:27:54.652Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25088 11 pages(s) 2013-04-08T13:27:51.491Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25085 11 pages(s) 2013-04-08T13:27:49.927Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25084 24 pages(s) 2013-04-08T13:27:41.714Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25087 14 pages(s) 2013-04-08T13:27:37.259Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:25123 2 pages(s) 2013-04-08T13:21:32.320Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:17749 Modern historical scholarship has always accepted, more or less suspiciously, the stories of the arrival of the Croats, and more generally, the arrival of the Slavs in post-Roman Illyricum in the treatise De administrando imperio, as codified reflections of historical realities. Criticised and praised, they have never been fully rejected. The stories of Constantine Porphyrogenitus simply appear too good to be rejected, taking into account the lack of written sources which deal with this region between the 7th and 9th centuries. Therefore, it is not surprising that generations of archaeologists and historians have put valiant efforts in order to “prove” and “illustrate” them in the positivist framework. However, analysis of the narratives reveals Constantine’s stories of the Croat arrival as nothing but a hi-stories, pseudohistorical narrative constructions, based upon historical memories manipulated through oral tradition by certain social groups from the region. These were inserted into the manual on foreign politics and geography, which was developed in the framework of Byzantine high culture of the 10th century. We cannot claim that there is no historical reality in those hi-stories of the arrival from the DAI. Unfortunately, it is even more difficult on the basis of the existing sources to claim that one might have a key for their deciphering and distillation from the identity- and narrative-discourses and memories of the past, in which are they embedded. 2013-03-28T02:27:49.014Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:18072 New methodological approaches to the study of the earliest Croat identity. 2013-03-28T02:27:47.738Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:24192 18 page(s) 2013-03-28T02:27:42.810Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:24395 Book review of 'Spomenici VII. legije na području rimske provincije Dalmacije [Texte imprimé] = Monuments of Legio VII in the Roman Province of Dalmatia' by Domagoj Toncinic, Split : Arheološki muzej u Splitu, 2011, ISBN 97895376330703. 2013-03-28T02:27:41.357Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:24939 Staff record for Research Data Management 2013-03-28T02:23:46.310Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:24941 Staff record for Research Data Management 2013-03-28T02:23:42.718Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:17762 10 page(s) 2013-03-25T02:30:07.630Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:24978 Research Data Collection of Dr Peter Keegan 2013-03-25T00:00:21.796Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:24974 Research Data Collection of Dr Brent Nongbri 2013-03-24T23:50:15.735Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:24847 This chapter considers the psycho-spiritual benefits of being known by God. Biblical-theological investigation of the notion is supported by attachment theory and a psychological understanding of the self. It concludes that secure attachment to the Transcendent One, being known by God as His child, supplies a strong sense of a valuable and lovable self. Similar to the human parent-child relationship, such attachment can lead to a healthy sense of significance, offer an effective source of comfort in dispiriting circumstances, and give moral direction. Receiving one's identity as a relational gift, rather than solely striving for it as an individual achievement, is an attractive alternative to the identity angst of a postrmodern world where a stable and secure sense of self can be so elusive. 2013-03-20T11:13:08.153Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:24810 7 page(s) 2013-03-18T04:01:28.434Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:24811 The Ptolemaic mammisi was a small chapel adjacent to a larger temple, dedicated to the child-god of the local triad. Rituals celebrating the mystery of the divine birth of this child-god were· held in the mammisi. Each mammisi was associated with a unique program of worship, dominated by the main temple complex with which it was associated. All Ptolemaic mammisis shared distinctive architectural features which included, but were not limited to, papyrus-bundle or palm-featured columns, Hathor-headed capitals, screen walls and a columned ambulatory surrounding the central sanctuary and associated halls (Arnold 2003, 33). The interior of the mammisis were decorated with detailed scenes depicting the mystery of the divine birth and texts outlining the rituals that were performed there. By the end of the Ptolemaic period, mammisis appeared in the majority of Egyptian temple complexes and played a significant role in daily cult and annual festivals. 2013-03-18T04:01:22.766Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:24818 18 page(s) 2013-03-18T04:01:09.969Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:24620 10 page(s) 2013-03-11T21:12:02.872Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:24619 This article has its origins in some reflections on an earlier era in a rather different world. But they do eventually lead to Australia and to the processes of globalization which are such a salient feature of contemporary life in Australia. Here I want to explore something of the creation of private collections of ancient Greek coins in Australia and their subsequent fate. At first glance this topic would appear to have a distinctly local ring to it, that perhaps jars with the theme of'Hellenism in a Globalised World'. But the import of ancient Greek coins into Australia can be understood in terms of a long held European practice of collecting antiquities (and in particular coins), that was encouraged by Hellenism. In this context collections of ancient coins came to represent the acquisition of an education which privileged knowledge of the classical world (Bowen 1989). In the Renaissance, coins were collected as bearers of authentic (and securely dated) portraits and thus valued as a means of providing direct contact with the great men of antiquity (Haskell 1993; Weiss 1973; Stahl2009). The vast numbers available meant that (in contrast to other sources of images - such as statues) coins could be collected by many people, and not only in Italy or Greece but throughout Europe. 2013-03-11T21:12:00.309Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:24623 The presence of Christians in Central Asia in the Late Antiquity late antique and medieval periods represents a forgotten episode in the history of Christianity. It is perhaps surprising to find Christians of the Byzantine-rite contributing to this history given their remoteness from the patriarchates of the Eastern Mediterranean. The patriarch of Antioch in particular seems to have appointed bishops to Central Asia, although it is not always clear where their sees were located and when they became merely titular appointments. These minority Chalcedonian communities are mentioned in a variety of Greek and Arabic sources and survived in this distant region in spite of changes in the ethnic and religious hegemony. Recent archaeological discoveries have endorsed the textual references to their settlement, but many questions relating to their identity still remain unanswered. 2013-03-11T21:11:57.480Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:24621 When A.E. Zimmern wrote of the Greek commonwealth, he meant the fifth century Athenian empire; but the expansion of the Greek-speaking world under Alexander the Great makes it better to associate the idea of a Greek commonwealth with the global Greek civilization of the post-Alexander world. The impulse, in the Hellenistic kingdoms to look for validation and legitimacy to long-established Greek institutions and values, is illustrated in this article with reference to Posidippus' Hippika. In the text examined here, a horse-racing victory at Delphi by one of Ptolemy II's most trusted friends is celebrated. 2013-03-11T21:11:54.462Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:24660 Book review of 'The senses and the English reformation', by Milner, Matthew, (St Andrews Studies in Reformation History), Farnham, Ashgate, 2011, ISBN 9780754666424. 2013-03-11T21:10:52.256Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:22192 Book review of The Ancient Near East: An Anthology of Texts and Pictures, James B.

In a modem study by the Egyptian Department of Agriculture the cultivated land was divided into five classes, number one being the most productive. Not only is Class I laod the most dominant in Middle Egypt, but it is not found anywhere else in Upper or Lower Egypt? Although the topographical features of the Delta have almost certainly changed in the last five millennia, we have no reason to think that the same applies to Upper Egypt, except for minor changes to the course of the Nile. The wealth of the region is certainly reflected in the tombs of the provincial governors and other higher officials who served in the middle provinces, where architectural grandeur and magnificent decoration are common. Most of the cemeteries in middle Egypt were excavated and recorded from the end of the 19th to the mid-20th century, and the resulting publications constitute an essential part of the primary evidence on which our studies of the texts, art, architecture, administration and daily life rely. Although incomplete, particularly in details, the work of the early Egyptologists is invaluable and we will always be grateful to them since some scenes and inscriptions they recorded have been partly or totally obliterated or damaged as a result of gradual deterioration or modem vandalism. 2013-03-06T08:01:18.173Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:24577 18 page(s) 2013-03-06T08:01:18.173Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:24581 10 page(s) 2013-03-06T08:01:17.103Z ]]> http://www.researchonline.mq.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/mq:24580 The UNESCO World Heritage List acknowledges the historical significance of the vast region of ancient Thebes, in Upper Egypt c. 700 km south of the modern capital Cairo (fig. 1),1 located on both shores of the Nile and encompassing the large temple complexes of Luxor and Karnak on the east and the most extensive known ancient necropolis on the west bank.
