Así mismo se examina el proceder de Cleopatra, desde su nombramiento como reina hasta su suicidio final. Se ha prestado especial atención a su papel de
reina de Egipto y su dedicación a asentar su trono y engrandecer el reino lágida. Estas fueron las bases que marcaron su línea de actuación, aunque esta no podía quedar al margen de la política romana. Al apoyar con sus recursos y su potestas a Antonio, marcó su destino y el de su reino.

Recibe este nombre porque fue donada por esta familia vitoriana a la Diputación alavesa en 1984. En el trabajo se hace un análisis de las características de la colección, estructura, conservación y se concluye que es bastante probable que un conjunto de 65 monedas, todos sestercios a excepción de dos ases, pudiese haber formado parte de un tesorillo cerrado en época de Gordiano III, hacia el año 240 d.C.

Octavian's revelations about the last will and testament of his political enemy caused great indignation in Roman society and tipped the support of Rome and Italy towards Octavian's side in the impending conflict. In order to know whether the document was forged, we will examine the hypotheses of the different authors who have dealt with the subject, the characteristics of the late Republican Roman testamentum and the circumstances in which the recovery of the will of Mark Anthony by Octavian took place. In addition, we include an analysis of the main contents of the will on the basis of the data provided by the Greek-Latin sources, and we present our interpretation of the facts.

Junto a las piezas monetarias apareció una bola circular de plomo de 16 mm de diámetro, probablemente un proyectil de arma de fuego. Por ello, el autor opina que este conjunto puede ser considerado como un «tesorillo de bolsa», es decir, que recoge el numerario que circulaba en el momento en que quedó fuera de la circulación, siendo un fiel reflejo de la moneda que circulaba en esos años.
The object of this study is the coin cluster found on July 23 1997 in the excavations of the cathedral of Santa Maria in Vitoria (Alava), consisting of 17 copper coins. A circular ball of lead 16 mm in diameter, probably a projectile from a firearm, appeared by the side of the coins. The author is therefore of the opinion that this cluster can be considered a «bag hoard», that is, that it contains the coins that were circulating at the time the coinage was withdrawn from circulation, and that they are a faithful reflection of the coinage that circulated at that time.

Lorenzo del Prestamero, subsecretario de la institución, fue el socio encargado de su estudio y conservación. La crisis de la Real Sociedad, con motivo de los avatares políticos producidos por las sucesivas guerras, trajo como consecuencia que la colección terminase en manos de Prestamero. Al morir éste en 1817, Teresa del Prestamero, hermana de Lorenzo, vendió la colección al marqués de la Alameda. Esta operación se analiza con detenimiento. En 1950 la Diputación Provincial de Álava compró el monetario al marqués de la Alameda. Abstract: Donations from members of the Real Sociedad Bascongada de Amigos del País promoted the creation in 1785 of a cabinet of coins. Lorenzo del Prestamero, undersecretary of the institution, was the partner in charge of their study and conservation. The crisis of the Royal Society, due to political changes caused by successive wars, resulted in the collection ending in the hands of Prestamero. When he died in 1817, Teresa del Prestamero, sister of Lorenzo, sold the collection to the Marqués de la Alameda. This transaction is analyzed in detail. In 1950 the Provincial Council of Alava bought it to the Marqués de la Alameda.

Desde entonces, los emperadores hicieron grandes esfuerzos por proteger esta moneda. Su falsificación se equiparó a la traición, ya que se interpretaba como una ofensa sacrílega hacia la persona del emperador, y se condenaba a sus autores a la pena capital más dura e infamante, la de ser quemados vivos. En este estudio se recoge la legislación que se aplicaba a los falsarios de oro, plata y bronce y se analiza la normativa del Código de Teodosio contra la falsificación, manipulación, exportación y venta de moneda prohibida durante la época bajoimperial.

Con anterioridad se habían realizado durante los años 2001-2003 una serie de prospecciones intensivas en la Llanada Oriental de Álava en las que se pudo comprobar las grandes dificultades que suponía identificar y delimitar los yacimientos altomedievales y los numerosos despoblados existentes en esta zona. Por este motivo se decidió realizar una excavación intensiva en un despoblado con el fin de reconocer la naturaleza de los depósitos arqueológicos de estos yacimientos y desarrollar nuevos protocolos de intervención.

Defeat could come about because one or several gods had been offended, and the recovery of the divine favour was sought by rituals. The interpretatio Christiana of some military conflicts in which Roman emperors participated during the fourth century was based on the same concept. These were interpreted, a posteriori, as actions in which a religious belief was fought for: Constantine versus Maxentius, Licinius versus Maximinus Daia or Constantine versus Licinius.

The matter caused a great scandal because of the illegality and sacrilege committed by Octavian to take over the will and its contents impacted so much on Rome that the plebs supported Octavian's cause. The Greek-Latin sources that collect the contents of the will and the hypotheses about the falsification or alteration of the document by Octavian are analyzed. Finally, it reviews the content and concludes that its most scandalous parts were an Octavian manipulation to attack Mark Antony´s pietas.

It is an Italic goddess associated from the beginning with the plebeian cause, so since its origins, its propaganda was linked to this faction and highly politicized. For this reason, it is difficult to discern its role in political events described by ancient historiography, but it is easier to analyze her role in the late-Republican coin where her image was used by triumviri monetales as faction propaganda or personal publicity. Ceres remained the goddess of agriculture and the annnona, at the same time was the goddess of the plebs for excellence and thus played an important symbolic role in the political struggle of the last period of the Republic.

Se destacan sus conflictos con Catilina, Clodio, Pisón y, especialmente, con Antonio. A lo largo de su carrera, Cicerón defendió su dignitas y argumentó que las virtudes cardinales propuestas por Platón y Panecio eran clave para alcanzar la verdadera gloria. En las Filípicas, atacó a Antonio y apoyó a Octaviano, aunque este último terminó traicionándolo. Estos discursos polarizaron la política romana, mostrando, según Bruto, la falta de visión política de Cicerón. Para defenderse de los ataques por su condena a los catilinarios y promover reformas estatales, Cicerón recurrió a la filosofía y defendió los principios platónicos y estoicos, abogando por la creencia en una providencia divina, la importancia de las virtudes cardinales, el uso de la razón y la superioridad del derecho natural de inspiración divina sobre la ley humana. También criticó a los epicúreos por su rechazo a la política, negación de la providencia divina y búsqueda del placer.

Throughout his career, Cicero defended his dignitas and argued that the cardinal virtues proposed by Plato and Panaetius were key to achieving true glory.

These speeches polarized Roman politics, revealing, according to Brutus, Cicero's lack of political vision. To defend himself from attacks for his condemnation of the Catilinarians and to promote state reforms, Cicero turned to philosophy and defended the Platonic and Stoic principles, advocating belief in divine providence, the importance of cardinal virtues, the use of reason, and the superiority of divinely inspired natural law over human law. He also criticized the Epicureans for their rejection of politics, denial of divine providence, and pursuit of pleasure.

Lo describió como un enemigo del Estado y un tirano que aspiraba a la autocracia y buscaba eliminar a los boni, defensores de la República. Estos insultos se analizan a lo largo del artículo y se observa en ellos una inversión de las virtudes cardinales descritas por Cicerón. Según Cicerón, estas virtudes eran las cualidades que un estadista debía poseer, tal y como se detalla en su obra De Officiis, que escribió al mismo tiempo que pronunciaba las Filípicas.
In the Philippics, Cicero employed a wide range of invectives to denigrate Antony, portraying him as an antisocial individual who embodied all moral defects and vices. He described him as an enemy of the state and a tyrant who aspired to autocracy and sought to eliminate the boni, defenders of the republic. These insults are analysed throughout the article, and an inversion of the cardinal virtues which, as described by Cicero, is observed in them. According to Cicero, these virtues were the qualities that a statesman should possess, as outlined in his work De Officiis, which he wrote concurrently with delivering the Philippics

Postumius's deditio is analyzed from the consul's testimony to the effect that he was a Samnite. The conclusion is that the debate about Mancinus's loss of citizenship would never have been raised, if Postumius' deditio had actually happened. It is argued that the issue was distorted, and a precedent was invented for the position taken by Scipio's factio during the discussion about Mancino's foedus. Finally, it is pointed out that Ab Urbe Condita is a patriotic, moral and exemplary work, and that Livy opted for the new version of the Pax Caudina. The pietas and the fetiales, important components of Augustan politics, played a decisive role in this choice

The article discusses the commemoratives coi ns striked by Maxentius in the mint of Rome. In the emisions appears Romulus, his son, as well as other relatives, Constantius, M. Herculius and Galerius. The builcling's fronts represented in the reverses of the coins are studied on the bases of these emissions. The final result is that only one edifice has been represented, and the author gives an hypothetical reconstruction. The author compares the reconstruction with the Mausoleum in the Via Appia and with the Templum of Divo Romulo in the Sacra Via, and after that he proposes that the building represented in che coins was the Mausoleum.
It is analyzed a sestertius of Nero used as ornamental element. An artisan made in the reverse of the coin some curved radii and five holes. In this article is made some consideracions about the realizacion of this unusual work and their possible function. On the other hand, some aspects of the ornamental uses of the coin and the moral evaluation of the figure of Nero are analyzed as well.
The article consists of two parts. In the first part it is analyzed the taking of the power by Eugenio in the year 392 and the política! and religious consequences. Híspania was under Eugenius's domain. Africa, in theory under the control of Teodosius, it maintained an independent political behavior. In the second part, the Gloria Romanorum's importance in Hispania is analyzed and the law CTh, IX, 23 is examined. The arrival of these coins from the Orient to Hispania is studied. The thick of the volume of AE 2 should arrive after the war, transported by the merchants. The reason of its continuity in Hispania was the lack of chronic liquidity that this province had.
