The first section examines the public dimen- sion of the Gerousia, as it emerges from its interaction with the civic institutions, the local notables and the imperial power. The second section focuses on the Gerousia’s sim- ilarities with private associations, both in their organizational form and in several of their activities, such as the protection of graves and the administration of funerary endowments. The third section draws a comparison between the public role of the Gerousia and that of private associations. Finally, the last section proposes a taxonomy of the various corporate bodies of the Greek polis in relation to their access to events, acts and symbols that expressed the sovereign power of the civic community and its collective identity. In these terms, the Gerousia occupied an impressively high position which brought her very close to the Council and the People.</p> </div> </div> </div> Nikos Giannakopoulos Copyright (c) 2024 Nikos Giannakopoulos https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ https://tidsskrift.dk/classicaetmediaevalia/article/view/143310 Mon, 05 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0100 https://tidsskrift.dk/classicaetmediaevalia/article/view/143853 <p>In an article published in the Revue des Langues Romanes (2012), Professor Banniard insisted on the linguistic interest of authentics, i.e. relic tags or labels, dating from the Merovingian period. In my contribution, I studied the language of relic labels<br>originating from the abbey of Chelles by presenting a linguistic commentary of three tags. The stunning results of this study allowed me to illustrate the passage from Merovingian Latin to Old French.</p> Joseph Reisdoerfer Copyright (c) 2024 Joseph Reisdoerfer https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ https://tidsskrift.dk/classicaetmediaevalia/article/view/143853 Fri, 01 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0100
