de Romanis Book 1: dei et deae (De Romanis, 1)

Product Information

In the Roma language, "rom" means husband/man, while "romňi" means wife/woman, and thus "roma" means "husbands/people". Some theories suggest that the ancestors of the Romani were part of the military in northern India. One modern theory states that during the invasions of Mahmud of Ghazni, defeated soldiers were moved west with their families into the Byzantine Empire, between AD 1000 and 1030. [9] In addition to pepper, De Romanis says, exports included both local products – ivory, pearls, spices such as malabathron – and those from other parts of India, including semi-precious stones, silks and the aromatic root nard. “These attest to commercial relationships nurtured with the Gangetic valley and east Himalayan regions.” As a secondary school Latin teacher myself, who teaches a relatively wide ability range within quite limited curriculum time, I do wonder whether there is enough of a ‘reward’ or ‘pay-off’ for students for the heavy investment in grammatical learning required for success on this course. However, I can see that many Latin teachers would welcome de Romanis as appropriate and useful for their students. Where BS is primarily concerned with the Mediterranean, the monographs of Federico de Romanis and Kasper Evers draw attention to its connections with the Indian Ocean world. Both argue that the Mediterranean's internal connectivity did not prevent the intensive circulation of people and goods between the Roman world and the Indian subcontinent. Footnote 17 Harnessing the heuristic potential of connectivity, they elucidate links between the Mediterranean Sea and Indian Ocean. In doing so, they demonstrate how much researchers can reveal of the Roman world's wider connections when they decentre Rome. Simultaneously, they add to a growing volume of work on Indo-Roman links. Footnote 18 The author Ralph Lilley Turner has theorised a central Indian origin of the Romani, followed by a migration to northwest India, as the Romani language shares a number of ancient isoglosses with Central Indo-Aryan languages in relation to realization of some sounds of Old Indo-Aryan. This is lent further credence by its sharing exactly the same pattern of northwestern languages such as Kashmiri and Shina through the adoption of oblique enclitic pronouns as person markers. The overall morphology suggests that Romani participated in some of the significant developments leading toward the emergence of New Indo-Aryan languages, thus indicating that the proto-Romani did not leave the Indian subcontinent until late in the second half of the first millennium. [4] [5] Origin [ edit ] The initial arrival of Romani outside Bern in the 15th century, described by the chronicler as getoufte heiden "baptized heathens" and drawn wearing Saracene-style clothes and weapons ( Spiezer Schilling, p. 749).

De Romanis is broken down into two volumes. The first, dei et deae, is based around the gods and aspects of Roman religion, and the second, homines, focuses on Rome's history. The first thing to strike about this course is the ‘meatiness’ of it: the amount of learning material which it provides. Anyone teaching from this course will not go wanting for both cultural and language resources. The structure of the course is built around five strands, and each of the chapters follows this format: an ‘Introduction’, which provides cultural context to the theme of the chapter; ‘Sources to Study’, which each include four different ancient sources; ‘Questions for Discussion’; ‘Core Language’, containing the new language material for the chapter; and ‘Additional Language’, with further practice activities designed for a range of abilities. There is an impressive amount of material contained both in the cultural sections as well as the language sections, and particularly the ‘Additional Language’ section provides a lot of varied activities for language reinforcement. The structure of the chapter sections and the amount of material means that teachers will have to ‘curate’ the material a little more in a classroom environment, but as the authors themselves suggest in the teacher's guide, it is unlikely that one class would do all the available exercises.Daubner's view has a lineage. He cites Ramsey MacMullen's claim in Romanization in the Time of Augustus that Roman and Italian civilians ‘moved or lodged where they pleased, while fitting in not too badly’. Footnote 43 This opinion is similar to that of Robert Errington, who in 1988 argued that the ‘peaceful penetration of Greek social and state institutions by Rhomaioi’ had favourably transformed Greek economic, social and cultural institutions, on the one hand, and Roman and Italian identity on the other: ‘[they] often remained in their chosen Greek city so long and lived there with such enthusiasm that they obtained local citizenship’. Footnote 44 An earlier generation of historians includes Edward Gibbon, Francis Haverfield, René Cagnat and other colonial-era writers who saw Rome's presences overseas as essentially beneficial. Not coincidentally, their narratives resemble that of some Romans. ‘In fact’, Cicero declares in the Verrines, ‘our Roman businessmen ( negotiatores) are linked with the Sicilians in the closest way by daily interaction, material interests, common sense and friendly rapport’.

A General Association of the Gypsies of Romania was established in 1933 with the holding of a national conference and the publication of two journals, Neamul Țiganesc ("Gypsy nation") and Timpul "time"). An "international" conference was organized in Bucharest the following year. [27]

de Romanis seemed heaven-sent to help me!"- Jo Lashley, Lead Latin tutor at Wolsey Hall, Oxford. Read case study here. By the 14th century, the Romanis had reached the Balkans and Bohemia; by the 15th century, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal; and by the 16th century, Russia, Denmark, Scotland, and Sweden. [27] (although DNA evidence from mid-11th century skeletons in Norwich suggest that at least a few individuals may have arrived earlier, perhaps due to Viking enslavement of Romani from the eastern Mediterranean, or liaisons with the Varangians [35]).

The Romani people, also referred to as Roma, Sinti, or Kale, depending on the subgroup, are an Indo-Aryan ethnic group that primarily lives in Europe. The Romani may have migrated from what is the modern Indian state of Rajasthan, [1] migrating to the northwest (the Punjab region of the Indian subcontinent) around 250 BC. [1] Their subsequent westward migration, possibly in waves, is now believed to have occurred beginning in about 500 AD. [2] It has also been suggested that emigration from India may have taken place in the context of the raids by Mahmud of Ghazni. As these soldiers were defeated, they were moved west with their families into the Byzantine Empire. [3]
