Macedonia in the Roman Empire. The Formation of a Provincial Society

罗马人在对珀尔修斯国王的战争胜利后采取的措施几乎完全废除了前马其顿精英阶层，这种情况与罗马其他省份非常不同，在这些省份，支持罗马人的团体通常可以毫无问题地接管政府。研究的主题是公元前2世纪和1世纪马其顿地方社会的发展。马其顿人--马其顿人、希腊人、色雷斯人、伊利里亚人、亚洲人、意大利人和罗马人--形成了一种总体身份，这导致马其顿，但也在亚洲和叙利亚，导致了公元2世纪马其顿的文艺复兴。我调查了广泛的来源和整个省，而不考虑现代边界，因为在一个证据稀少的时代，复杂的发展不能以单一类别的来源来解释。我调查的一些重点是：1.战胜马其顿军队后的罗马立法，2.罗马殖民地和殖民者融入地方景观，以及3.奥古斯都时代，它首次以铭文和建筑的形式为新的省级精英提供了充分的证据，而在过去的半个世纪里，我们错过了这些证据。主要问题是描述一个正常运作的社会是如何从马其顿国家和社会的废墟中崛起的，以及我们如何区分这个辽阔省份按时间和地区不同的进程。

The measures taken by the Romans after the victorious war against king Perseus brought with them the nearly complete abolishment of the former Macedonian elites, a situation which is very different from all the other Roman provinces where usually groups which supported the Romans could take over the administration without problems. The topic under examination is the development of a provincial society in the 2nd and 1st centuries B.C. The heterogeneous non-elite identity groups which form the populace of Macedonia - Macedonians, Greeks, Thracians, Illyrians, Asians, Italians and Romans - developed an overall identity which led in Macedonia, but also in Asia and Syria, to the Macedonian Renaissance of the 2nd century A.D. I investigate a wide range of sources and the whole province, regardless of modern borders, because the complex developments in a time of sparse evidence cannot be explained on the basis of a single category of sources. Some focal points of my investigation are 1. the Roman legislation after the victory over the Macedonian army, 2. the integration of the Roman colonies and colonists into the provincial landscape, and 3. the Augustan age which for the first time produces ample evidence for the new provincial elite in form of inscriptions and buildings which we miss in the 1½ centuries before. The main issue is to describe how a functioning society emerged from the ruins of the Macedonian state and the society and how we can distinguish the chronologically and regionally varied processes in the vast province.
