Extract

The great honour, which the Society for the Promotion of Roman Studies has done me in entrusting me with this first ‘M. V. Taylor Memorial Lecture’, is the last, not the least, benefit for which I am indebted to our venerable and most regretted friend. I do not think it is my duty, indeed I think it would be very improper for me to set about reminding you here of who she was and what she did. I suppose I am expected to try to dedicate to her memory a paper which would not be too unworthy of her. I shall try to do my best. But I must confess at once that I am not quite sure that my subject is one of those she would have entirely approved of. Not that she had confined herself to Roman Britain. Of course I am sorry not to be able to present her today with a new enameled patera enumerating all the forts of the Wall, like the Amiens patera which, fifteen years ago, inspired her benevolence towards me. I am sorry not to be able to guide her through the halls of the Baths of Cluny, as I had the pleasure of doing in September, 1963, when she came to Paris for the last time on the occasion of the Archaeological Congress. I know her range of curiosity and learning was limitless indeed. Only I wonder whether Etruscan matters would not have raised in her a sort of smiling and sceptical reluctance, as something which is not altogether serious. I might plead, with Professor Momigliano's authority, that the Emperor Claudius, though the father of these queer researches, did something after all for Roman Britain. Still, as I cannot help imagining Miss Taylor sitting here in the front of my audience, I shall be exceptionally careful not to say anything which could arouse her sometimes passionate severity. If I fail, as is probable, I appeal in advance to her, and your, indulgence.

44a Of peculiar interest is a small series of antefixes (Pallottino, M., Arch. class. IX (1957), 216–218Google Scholar; Foti, G., Not. Sc. XIII (1959), 183–188Google Scholar) of a type hitherto unknown; not surrounded by the usual shell, but with a figure standing on a background of radiating lanceolate leaves or with a moulded edge (‘a bordo sagomato’). They represent running Victories, winged horses, and a strange human winged figure with a cock head, running to right, which it has been impossible to trace back to any analogue: to the references given by Pallottino we could add the Cicirrus who in the Atellan show—an Etruscan tradition—was disguised as a cock (Hor., Sat. I, 5, 52; with Hesych. II, 481, 2647, Schmidt: ‘Cicirrus’ in Oscan meant ‘cock’) and, perhaps, the cock which plays a curious part in the Atargatis cult at Hierapolis (Luc., De Dea Syria 48; Goossens, G., Hiérapolis de Syrie (1943), 60, n. 1Google Scholar). These antefixes, of a mediocre and hasty workmanship, are ascribed to a temple of small dimensions (Colonna, G., Not. Sc. XIII (1959), 252).Google Scholar As they belong to the end of the sixth century or the beginning of the fifth, it would not be chronologically impossible to attribute them to Thefarie Velianas' shrine.

60 The most obvious sign of archaism is the regular expression of interior vowels: turuce (E 1, lines 6/7, later turce). The lead sheet of Magliano (TLE 359), dated fifth/fourth century, has more samples of syncopated forms.

H., The Local Scripts of archaic Greece (1961)Google Scholar. it seems to be a peculiarity of Achaian colonies (50), whence it has spread to Taras (283, pl. 53 (1): graffito on an Attic eye-kylix, c. 540–530) and Lokroi (286, pl. 54 (3): bronze plaque, c. 500–480 ?). Two other examples from Petelia and Krimissa (261: two bronze plaques (28–29, pl. 50), c. 475 ?; cf. 249, 259).—A third objection concerns m and n: they are not of the oldest form the three vertical strokes go down to the ground-line Pfiffig now distinguishes two phases: in the first, the oblique bars would extend to the foot of the stems; in the second they would be shortened and touch the stems in the middle. From this point of view, our inscriptions would be placed at the transition between 1 and 2. But the theory does not seem to be well founded: if we consider the documents of the sixth century in which we can study the passage from the early to the classical for instance at Caere (Not. Sc. (1937), 383, no. 12; 386, no.20; 389, nos.29–30), at Veii (St. Etr. (1939), 455 ff., nos. 1, 4, 6), at Orvieto (Bizzardi, M., La necropoli di Crocefisso del Tufo in Orvieto (1963), 141 ff., nos. 9, 12, 14Google Scholar), we see that the letter is generally drawn in one stroke, starting from the foot of the outer right stem to the top of the outer left stem, with the result that the oblique bars touched the extremity of the stems; if the hand stopped in course of work (Not. Sc. (1937), 383, no. 12) or if it drew all the stems downwards (M. Bizzardi, 144, no. 14), the meeting-points were not necessarily at extremities. Besides, it is difficult to place E 1 or E 2 in the alleged development: the forms 1 and 2 are mixed: tmia, E 1, l. 1, has an m of the first form; heramasva, 1. 2, of the second form; itanim, l. 14, combines a n of the first form, a m which is of the second in its right half and of the first in its left half. The ductus seems to have been from top to bottom, and rather hasty, and the point where the oblique bar touched the next stem was accidental, not due to the evolution of the letter-form.

71 In a private letter (15th May, 1965). J. Ferron defends the reading with a mem (Or. Ant. IV (1965), 186).

71a The iines 9–11 had been first translated: ‘And the years of the statue of the goddess in her temple are as many as these stars.’ The stars were understood in a metaphorical meaning of the word as being the golden nails, with reference to the Etrusco-Roman use of the claui annales. This interpretation, after A. Dupont-Sommer's refutation, seems to be given up. Still, Durante, M. (‘Le formule conclusive dei testi etruschi di Pyrgi’, Rendic. Lincei (1965), 308–321Google Scholar) has ventured to recognize in pulumχva at the end of E 1 and E 2 the Etruscan equivalent of Latin bullae (supra n. 51).—For a similar wish for the perpetuity of a treaty, cf. the foedus Cassianum in Dion. Hal. VI, 95, 2: ‘as long as the heavens and the earth shall remain as they are.’

Pfiffig supposes it governs the following genitive cluvenias: ‘as a gift for Cluvenia’, Cluvenia being an epithet of Uni-Astarte. in our translation, it would be postponed to the word it governs.
