Abstract Details

2007, MA, University of Cincinnati, Arts and Sciences : Classics.
This thesis aims to improve our understanding of cultural interaction in the Roman province of Dacia by examining one type of evidence from the provincial period: Roman-style stone funerary monuments. Past research on the Dacian funerary monuments has considered them to be evidence of Romanization. To indicate Romanization, however, funerary monuments must demonstrate a blending of Roman and indigenous cultures. A close examination of the Dacian examples in context shows that this was not the case in Roman Dacia. Dacian funerary monuments were set up by Romans, rather than natives, and show no signs of cultural blending. In light of this research, the Dacian stone funerary monuments should not be considered evidence of Romanization, but of attempted Roman Imperialism. These monuments emphasized the separation of Roman and native, and advertised Roman power in the face of constant threats – both internal and external – to Roman control.
