Batavis
(295 words)
[German version] This item can be found on the following maps: Raeti, Raetia Today, the historic centre of Passau. The name was recorded rather late (Not. Dign. Occ. 35,24; Eugippius, Vita Severinus 19,1; 22,4; 24,1; 27,1;
Batavini: ibid. 20,1; 22,1; 27,3). Located in Raetia, across from Boiodurum/Innstadt in Noricum. A late Celtic
oppidum between the Danube and the Inn was discontinued
c. 100 years before the Roman settlement. The Roman settlement was quite dense since late Flavian times, but not yet clearly organized: the narrow, rectangular houses bel…

Decumates agri
(603 words)
[German version] Problematic expression, attested only in Tac. Germ. 29,3: Tacitus does not count those peoples settled beyond the Rhine and Danube as belonging to the Germanic peoples, saying
eos qui decumates agros exercent: levissimus quisque Gallorum et inopia audax dubiae possessionis solum occupavere; mox limite acto promotisque praesidiis sinus imperii et pars provinciae habentur. The partly fanciful discussion of this quotation, difficult as it is on linguistic and factual grounds, is as wide-ranging as it is fruitless. If
decumates is generally viewed as an adjective modifying
agros (acc. pl.), substantival nom. pl. is also possible (preferred by [1], cf. [13. 272, 274f.]). Conjectures involving
decumanos and
decumatos have failed, and the most recent [12] involving
desertos (in the sense of
derelictos ‘deserted’) is scarcely plausible. The association with the concept of ‘tenth’ is certain, but a link with
decem pagi does not hold up [2]. The remaining complex difficulties are expounded by Timpe; see a summary of related research in Lund [12]. …

Chattuarii
(114 words)
[German version] Germanic people; on the basis of etymology inhabitants of a former Chattian territory; possibly to be identified with the Chasuarii. As neighbours of the Bructeri and the Cherusci counted as the ‘weaker’ inland peoples (Str. 7,1,3f.; Vell. Pat. 2,105,1); possibly to be identified with the Attuarii, who show up in the 4th cent. as part of a Frankish confederacy (Amm. Marc. 20,10,2); during the Middle Ages the C. are settled from the lower Ruhr and Lippe to the left bank of the Rhine.…

Lentienses
(65 words)
[German version] Sub-tribe (
pagus) of the Alamanni north of Lake Constance (cf. the later Linzgau). Directed against them in AD 355 was punitive action of the
magister equitum Arbetio and a victorious campaign of Gratianus in 378 (Amm. Marc. 15,4; 31,10,1-17). Dietz, Karlheinz (Würzburg) Bibliography R. Rollinger, Zum Alamannenfeldzug Constantius' II. an Bodensee und Rhein im J. 355 n.Chr., in: Klio 80, 1998, 163-194.

Flevum
(114 words)
[German version] Germanic name (‘the flooding, streaming [body of water]’) for the most northerly branch of the delta of the Rhine: Plin. HN 4,101 (
Flevum ostium); Mela 3,24 (
lacus Flevo, formerly Zuidersee, modern IJsselmeer); cf. Ptol. 2,11,12. Tac. Ann. 4,72,3 mentions a Roman
castellum Flevum besieged by Frisii in AD 28, the locality of which is pinpointed in Velsen [1]. It is debatable whether the
Flevi in the Laterculus Veronensis 13 are derived from F. [2; 3]. Rhenus Dietz, Karlheinz (Würzburg) Bibliography

(292 words)
[German version] I. Geography Collective term for the central European low mountain ranges, first mentioned in Aristot. Mete. 1,13. It took nine days to cross it from north to south (Caes.

Caelius Mons
(377 words)
[German version] [1] Hill in Rome Hill in Rome,
c. 2 km long, 400-500 m high. Although Caelius Mons (CM) is counted amongst the oldest of the city's hills (Dion. Hal. 2,50,1; Tac. Ann. 4,56; 11,24), its largest part was outside the
pomerium . Even though graves were still sited there in the Republican age, the area later developed into a fashionable residential district (Cic. Off. 3,16,66; Plin. HN 36,48; Tac. Ann. 4,64); in the Imperial Age, when the slopes of the Esquilin and the Colosseum were built up with
insulae, the fashionable district moved to the upper part of the hill…

Limes
(12,382 words)
[German version] I. General In the religious and administrative theory of the land surveyors, the Latin word
limes denoted the path marking the boundary between two pieces of land, while in military and political usage (Tac. Ann. 1,50; Frontin. Str. 1,3,10) it meant the border between Roman and non-Roman territory (SHA Hadr. 12). Over recent years, research has led the military connotation of the term
limes, which has been used almost exclusively from the 19th cent., to be expanded to comprehend also the historico-geographical and socio-economic fields. Where the
limites were origi…
