El traslado de las divinidades a través de las cohors voluntariorum civium Romanorum de época imperial

2025-07-29T18:57:04+00:00

Studies on migration in ancient Rome reveal social, political and cultural panoramas in favour of Roman mobility. Despite cultural evolution, some elements, especially in the religious sphere, endured. We focus on divinities relocated by mobilizing agents, emphasizing the role of Roman military units. Specifically, we analyse cohorts of Roman citizen volunteers (cohors voluntariorum civium Romanorum), an aspect scarcely covered by current historiography. This study demonstrates how these citizens, enlisted in auxiliary units, disseminated divinities to territories distant from their origin. We identify approximately seventeen units with these characteristics, originating from Pannonia, Syria, Germania, Numidia, Moesia, Raetia, and Cappadocia. Our objective is to examine the relocation and cult of divinities across the Mediterranean by these units during the imperial era and to employ Social Network Analysis (SNA) as a method to study this phenomenon of divinity transfer or diffusion.

Conflicto, guerra y guerreros: una aproximación hacia los discursos sobre la violencia en los Padres de la Iglesia (siglos IV-VII)

The present work proposes, taking as fundamental sources the City of God of Augustine of Hippo, the Dialogues of Gregory The Great and Sentences of Isidoro of Seville, to elucidate the discursive strategies that three Fathers of the Church used in the presentation of the violence and the outstanding characteristics of those actors and principles to which these discourses incorporate or remit, observing the argumentative survivals, the differences and the emphases placed around the V century in one case and the VII century in another. In this context, we believe that there is a particular construction of what we might call "belief", with specific appeals not only to violence, but to mentions about "war", "struggle" and "faith"; forming a set of multiple and significant meanings.

Infidelity, betrayal and forced mobility: some cases of exile and banishment in the Hispano-Gothic kingdom of Toledo (VI – VII centuries).

2025-07-29T18:57:07+00:00

The Hispano gothic kingdom was marked by intense conflicts between the royal power and the aristocratic segments. The result of these disputes was the promulgation of laws that punished traitors and infidels with exile or, in case of escape, banishment. We find examples of both forms of mobility in the 6th and 7th centuries, particularly in the work of Valerio del Bierzo that is analyzed in this study.

El funcionamiento burocrático y la gestión patrimonial y financiera de la cámara regia de Castilla, conforme a la Relación de efectos que Pedro Fernández recibía y entregaba por orden del rey (1397-1398)

The current work will analyse the institutional reality of the royal chamber during the reign of Henry III of Castile (1390-1406), taking as the main starting point the Relación de efectos que Pedro Fernández recibía y entregaba de orden del rey (A record of the belongings received and issued by Pedro Fernández by order of the king) (AGS, PR, file 29, document 28), a document that provides a detailed record of the workings of the royal chamber between 28 August 1397 and 19 August 1398. The study will attempt to delimit this institutional reality by analyzing its internal bureaucratic functioning and the operations carried out under the supervision of the chamberlain (camarero) Pedro Fernández concerning the entry (cargo) and exit (data) of the goods of the chamber. The work highlights the importance of this institution as a bureaucratized body, emphasizing its role as a manager of royal favor and an extraordinary financial resource for the monarchy, in contrast to its strictly domestic functions.

Erudición y polemismo en El Tostado: el Defensorium trium conclusionum como reflejo del saber y del ser de Alfonso de Madrigal

2025-07-29T18:57:09+00:00

This article analyses the Defensorium trium conclusionum, a work by the theologian Alfonso de Madrigal, who is commonly known as El Tostado. The Defensorium trium conclusionum is one of his most original treatys and one of those that best defines him. For this reason, through the analysis we will appreciate, among others, two of the author's most genuine features. Firstly, his immense and varied knowledge, knowledge that extends to almost all areas of knowledge. Secondly, his critical attitude towards any idea lacking a consistent foundation, a faithful reflection of a personality restless to obtain knowledge, whenever possible, based on rational and scientific criteria. Consequently, and due to the characteristics reflected in his writing, Alfonso de Madrigal deserves to be placed among the most distinguished figures of castilian Humanism.
