This is a highly original, interdisciplinary study of the archaic Greek word nomos and its family of words. Includes extracts from ancient sources, in both the original and English translation, to give us a new and complete understanding of nomos and its foundational place in the Western legal tradition

In the light of new papyrological evidence and in the critical appreciation of the scholarly discussion, this work examines the problem of dating and assessment of ancient literary sources for Alexander. In the second half of the work, based on the most important surviving literary texts from Alexander's time, the outlines of the king's policy toward Greece are more closely examined

The Praecepta Tonica by John of Alexandria (5th-6th cent. AD) is one of our richest sources for ancient Greek accentuation and an indispensable tool for reconstructing Herodian's famous De prosodia catholica. Despite its importance, it is available only in a seriously flawed edition brought out by Karl Wilhelm Dindorf in 1825. The newedition offers an authoritative new critical text based on a thorough review of the manuscript evidence and the modern scholarship, and includes a rich collection of parallel passages intended to place the treatise in its grammatical context

L'articolo discute la possibilità di adattare il concetto mazzariniano di 'democratizzazione della cultura' (nei due sensi di 'democratizzazione ascendente e discendente') alle iscrizioni metriche tardoantiche, soprattutto (ma non solo) cristiane. La presenza di nuovi modelli, di nuovi destinatari e di nuovi vettori culturali testimonia l'emergere di un nuovo linguaggio rispetto alla tradizione classica, spesso appare assorbita in modi non canonici ed 'erronei' in iscrizioni che non si esiterebbe a definire 'popolari', considerato il loro carattere centrifugo e innovativo rispetto alla paideia greco-romana. L'importanza di assumere il modello mazzariniano risiede anche nella possibilità di valutare la produzione di iscrizioni metriche secondo un approccio non più legato a giudizi di valore sulla base delle norme classiche. La paideia classica diviene cioè non il metro di misura, ma il sostrato su cui si innestano le spinte eccentriche (democratizzazione ascendente), e il cui prestigio continua a essere recepito in contesti 'bassi' o provinciali (democratizzazione discendente). ; The present paper focuses on the possibility to adapt the concept of 'democratisation of the culture', introduced by Santo Mazzarino, to the metrical inscriptions (mainly Christians) of late antiquity. The presence of new models and of new agents in the diffusion of culture is here considered against the background of classical paideia, which was often absorbed in uncanonical or even 'erroneous' ways in inscriptions that we might define 'popular' especially for their 'centrifugal' and innovative features. The adoption of Mazzarino's model will also allow us to consider metrical inscriptions according to a different interpretive model, and one not necessarily related to classical norms. From this perspective, classical paideia should be considered not as the fixed norm of aesthetic values, but rather as a common ground on which centrifugal innovations were inserted (ascending democratisation) and whose social prestige continued to be important in lower and provincial contexts (descending democratisation).
