[Vesti] Blic : Pronađena glava boginje Dijane

NIŠ - Na arheološkom nalazištu Medijana u Nišu pronađena je mermerna ženska glava za koju se pretpostavlja da je deo skulpture boginje Dijane, odnosno Artemide.

- U urušenom delu, gde se nekada nalazila Konstantinova vila, nađena je skulptura za koju se pretpostavlja da je u pitanju boginja Dijana, odnosno Artemida.

Iznenadili smo se da smo na samom početku istraživanja došli do ovako bitnog otkrića, koje za nas ima veliku vrednost. Prema kvalitetu rada pretpostavljamo da potiče iz drugog veka pre naše ere i najverovatnije je u vilu doneta prilikom njenog uređenja. Radićemo dodatne analize, pa ćemo u nekom narednom periodu imati više informacija.

Pored toga što očekujemo da otkrijemo i drugi deo mozaika, verujemo da ćemo do septembra naći još dosta interesantnih stvari - kaže Gordana Milošević, koja se nalazi na čelu tima na projektu „Konstantinova vila 2010-2011“. Arheološka istraživanja u ovom delu traja do septembra, a ovaj projekat realizuje se u saradnji Arheološkog instituta u Beogradu, Narodnog muzeja u Nišu i Zavoda za zaštitu spomenika Niš.

PRAECONES

PRAECOʹNES, criers, were employed for various purposes:

1. In sales by auction, they frequently advertised the time, place, and conditions of sale: they seem also to have acted the part of the modern auctioneer, so far as calling out the biddings and amusing the company, though the property was knocked down by the magister auctionis (Hor. Ars Poet. 419; Cic. ad Att. XII.40, de Off. II.23). [Auctio.]

2. In all public assemblies they ordered silence (Liv. III.47; Plaut. Poen. prol. 11).

3. In the comitia they called the centuries one by one to give their votes, pronounced the vote of each century, and called out the names of those who were elected (Cic. c. Verr. V.15, pro Mil. 35). They also recited the laws that were to be passed.

4. In trials, they summoned the accuser and the accused, the plaintiff and defendant (Suet. Tib. 11).

5. In the public games, they invited the people to attend, and proclaimed the victors (Cic. ad Fam. V.12).

6. In solemn funerals they also invited people to attend by a certain form; hence these funerals were called Funera Indictiva (Festus, s.v. Quirites; Suet. Jul. 84).

7. When things were lost, they cried them and searched for them (Plaut. Merc. III.4.78; Petron. 57).

8. In the infliction of capital punishment, they sometimes conveyed the commands of the magistrates to the lictors (Liv. XXVI.15).

Their office, called praeconium, appears to have been regarded as rather disreputable: in the time of Cicero a law was passed preventing all persons who had been praecones from becoming decuriones in the municipia (Cic. ad Fam. VI.18). Under the early emperors, however, it became very profitable (Juv. III.157, VII.6; Martial, V.56.11, VI.8.5), which was no doubt partly owing to the bribes which they received from the suitors, &c.
