Abstract:

The war of the Romans with King Pyrrhus of Epirus was a kind of borderline that conditionally divided the history of Roman republic into two main periods. Many modern researchers follow the concept of the Greek historian Polybius, who considered the expulsion of the Epirus king from Italy as the start of the gradual establishment of Roman hegemony in the Mediterranean. The further expansion of Rome, first to the South of Italy, and then outside – to Sicily, was accompanied by an internal political struggle between two groups in Roman society, one of which defended the agrarian development of R

Abstract:

Summary In relation to King Pyrrhus of Epirus, a great number of studies have analysed his different military campaigns, but very few have focused on the political and economic aspects of his reign. Based on a series of references taken from literary accounts, we seek to demonstrate how the internal organisation of the Kingdom of Epirus under Pyrrhus was similar to that of other contemporaneous Hellenistic kingdoms, replete with a Court consisting of a large number of the king’s friends and companions. Using certain archaeological evidence, especially funerary remains, we seek to reflect the e

Abstract:

Pyrrhus, the ruler of Epirus, led an expedition against the Roman Republic and in defense of Tarentum in 280 B.C. He commanded inadequate and accidentally collected sea forces, as argued by Plutarchos of Cheronea, Pausanias, Appianus, Iunianus Iustinus and Diodorus Siculus. During the crossing to Sicily, Pyrrhus came into confl ict with Carthage, avoided clashing at sea with a larger Punic fleet of 100 ships thanks to a clever maneuver, and entered Syracuse afterwards. At the Grand Harbor, he captured 120 warships (κατάφρακτοι ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι) and 20 ships (ἄφρακτοι εἴκοσι), with his fleet’s str

Abstract:

The Ethnic Character of Ancient Epirotes and MacedoniansThe inhabitants of Epirus and Macedonia were treated as “barbarians” by ancient Greeks (so Hecataeus of Miletus, Herodotus, Thucydides, Ps.-Scylax, Ps.-Scymnus, Strabo, and others). According to Plutarch (Pyrrhus I 3), the intensive hellenization of Epirus started with Tharrypas’ reign in the end of fifth century BC. According to Strabo (VII 7.8), ancient Epirotes and Macedonians spoke the same language but some of them were bilingual. This means that the original language of Epirotes and Macedonians was non-Greek, but they used Greek in

Abstract:

Some regions of Ancient Hellas, located on the border of the barbarian and Greek worlds and lagging behind in political and cultural terms, sought to prove their «Greek» origin in one way or another. This was especially true of the royal dynasties, which, deriving their genealogy from mythical heroes, thereby substantiated their claims to Greek origin. A similar example is the Molossian dynasty of the Aeacids, ruling in Epirus, which traced its origins to the mythical hero Neoptolemus, son of Achilles. This happened at a time when Epirus and the ruling dynasty emerged from the historical shado

Abstract:

In 281 BC, Pyrrhus was visited by an embassy of Tarentum and by the representatives of the Samnites, Lucanians and Bruttians. For the King of Epirus, Italy and Sicily meant a new prospect for his career, since the delegates undertook the obligation to give under his command a powerful army, composed of 300,000 infantrymen and 20,000 horsemen. Protecting Tarentum against the Roman aggression was only the official reason of his Western campaign. In Italy, he became the leader of a coalition consisting of Tarentines, Samnites, Lucanians and Bruttians. As a result of this position, he had to consi

Abstract:

By the starting years of the First Punic War, the accounts of the ancient literary tradition about Rome’s involvement in maritime affairs are scarce and lack the necessary clarity. The first two Roman-Carthaginian treaties from 509 and 348 B.C. mention navigation bans for the Roman ships; however it is very likely for the two agreements to refer to the trading vessels. The year 311 B.C. records the official foundation of the Roman naval force by the establishment of a double naval magistracy, duumviri navales. This bright start has not led to a remarkable development of the Roman fleet. A squa

Abstract Historical evidence highlights that regions characterized by the convergence and cohabitation of diverse cultures serve as primary drivers of development. Nowadays, the southern region of Albania stands as a vivid and enduring example of this phenomenon throughout history. Arguments that speak of integrative and at the same time differentiating processes in terms of cultural and ethnic identity include mythology and historical milestones such as Dodona, Pyrrhus of Epirus and Alexander the Great, to figures like Ali Pasha Tepelena and cultural hub of Voskopoja.

Pyrrhus of Epirus, a renowned Hellenistic warrior-king, was born in 319 BCE. While the exact day and month of his birth remain unknown, this paper endeavors to deduce the most plausible date using a synthesis of historical context, cultural practices, biological reasoning, astrological symbolism, mathematical estimation, and military tradition. Through exhaustive examination, this paper posits that the most likely birthdate for Pyrrhus is March 23, 319 BCE. This date aligns with his martial legacy, spring fertility symbolism, the timing of ancient campaign cycles, seas

Abstract:

Dodona in Epirus was reputedly the oldest oracle in ancient Greece. The oracle and its sanctuary were dedicated to Zeus Naios, whose local consort was Dione Naia. References to the oracle go back to the Homeric epics, from which we hear of the Selloi (or Helloi), the prophets who were said to sleep in the sanctuary with unwashed feet (Il. 16.233-35), or of the sacred oak that spoke oracles with the voice of Zeus (Od. 14.327-28 = 19.296-97). In later periods, sources refer to oracular responses being derived from the sound of the wind passing through the leaves of the sacred oak or from the mov

After the death of Alexander, the Great in 323 BCE at Babylon, his generals, friends, family, and even secretaries would fight for decades to control the spoils of his newly forged empire. Eventually a series of Hellenistic kingdoms would carve up his empire stretching from Western Greece to Northern India. For nearly 300 years after his death Alexander’s successors would fight a series of titanic and seemingly never-ending wars with each war simply leading into the next. The Seleucids and Ptolemies would fight six Syrian Wars and never manage to fully conquer one another, Pyrrhus of Epirus wo

Przedłożony artykuł stanowi próbę przedstawiania genezy politycznego związku Pyrrusa z Antygonem Monofthalmosem i Demetriosem Poliorketesem w schyłkowym okresie wojen diadochów, a także konsekwencji zaistniałego mirażu. Pyrrus miał szczęście dorastać w czasach, gdy jego rodzinne związki z Aleksandrem Wielkim czyniły z niego intratną partię do rozszerzania wpływów dynastycznych. Mo- mentem przełomowym w poszukiwaniu protektora dla działań Pyrrusa był jego powrót do Epiru (307 p.n.e.) z dworu władcy Taulantiów – Glaukiasa.

Abstract:

Artykuł dotyczy problemu działalności urbanizacyjnej podjętej przez Pyrrusa w Epirze. Autor rozpatruje te kwestie na podstawie przypadków dwóch miast leżących w przeciwległych rejonach starożytnego Epiru: Bronikidy na południu i Antigonei na północy tej krainy. Rozpatrzenie tych dwóch przypadków wymaga odmiennych instrumentów badawczych. Założenie Beronikidy zostało poświadczone w źródle literackim, podczas gdy powiązanie leżącego na północnych obrzeżach Epiru miasta Antigoneia z działalnością Pyrrusa jest jedynie konstrukcją współczesnej nauki, nie mającą bezpośredniego oparcia w literackim m
