Document Details : Title: The Narbonensian Colonial Elite - 1958-1995 Author(s): BURGERS, P. Journal: Ancient Society Volume: 28 Date: 1997 Pages: 89-106 DOI: 10.2143/AS.28.0.630071 Abstract : It is the purpose of this article to see what new evidence has come to light since 1958 to further substantiate Syme’s claim that «Rome lived on imported talent». Considering the scope of the article it seems best to focus on one of the areas outside Italy that first produced new senators and equites: Gallia Narbonensis. In the first section I shall summarize the early history of the province. The second consists of two parts: first, I will recapitulate the evidence for senators and knights from Narbonensis available in 1958, and then I shall present the evidence that has been recovered since the publication of Tacitus and Colonial Élites. |
