The Eagle 1907 (Easter) Afay Term 1907. , NOTES FROM THE COLLEGE RECORDS. (Colltilluedjrom page 163). E give a further instalment of documents relating to the surplice controversy at St john's. These are from the State Papers, Domestic, in the Record Office. Two letters from Longworth are from Baker's collections. The first document however is taken from Strype's Life and Acts of Archbishop Parker, appendix No. xlii. It would appear that Longworth signed this apology or recan­ tation before Cecil, undertaking to read it publicly in the College; but when he came to do this he introduced certain verbal changes, which seem to have been duly noted and recorded. The words which he omitted are printed in italics, those which he added are enclosed in brackets. It is clear that his proceedings were subjected to the closest scrutiny by his opponents.

  • The Roman Baths Complex Is a Site of Historical Interest in the English City of Bath, Somerset
    Aquae Sulis The Roman Baths complex is a site of historical interest in the English city of Bath, Somerset. It is a well-preserved Roman site once used for public bathing. Caerwent Caerwent is a village founded by the Romans as the market town of Venta Silurum. The modern village is built around the Roman ruins, which are some of the best-preserved in Europe. Londinium Londinium was a settlement established on the current site of the City of London around 43 AD. Its bridge over the River Thames turned the city into a road nexus and major port, serving as a major commercial centre in Roman Britain until its abandonment during the 5th century. Dere Street Dere Street or Deere Street is what is left of a Roman road which ran north from Eboracum (York), and continued beyond into what is now Scotland. Parts of its route are still followed by modern roads that we can drive today. St. Albans St. Albans was the first major town on the old Roman road of Watling Street. It is a historic market town and became the Roman city of Verulamium. St. Albans takes its name from the first British saint, Albanus, who died standing up for his beliefs. Jupiter Romans believed Jupiter was the god of the sky and thunder. He was king of the gods in Ancient Roman religion and mythology. Jupiter was the most important god in Roman religion throughout the Empire until Christianity became the main religion. Juno Romans believed Juno was the protector of the Empire. She was an ancient Roman goddess who was queen of all the gods.

In Britain, as in their other provinces, the Romans constructed a comprehensive network of paved trunk roads (i.e. surfaced highways) during their nearly four centuries of occupation (43 - 410 AD). This article focuses on the ca. 2,000 mi (3,200 km) of Roman roads in Britain shown on the Ordnance Survey's Map of Roman Britain.[1] This contains the most accurate and up-to-date layout of certain and probable routes that is readily available to the general public. The pre-Roman Britons used mostly unpaved trackways for their communications, including very ancient ones running along elevated ridges of hills, such as the South Downs Way, now a public long-distance footpath.

  • The Romans & Their Roads
    Pave Israel 96 THE, ROMANS AND THEIR ROADS THE ORIGINAL SMALL ELEMENT PAVEMENT TECHNOLOGISTS J. Knapton University of New Castle Newcastle upon Tyne. UK 1 Introduction French lawyer Bergier published the first work on Roman roads in 162210 having discovered the remains of Roman roads near Rheims. He was so taken with his finds that he began to investigate classical literature and monuments. Bergier's work influenced 17th and 18th century French roadbuilding which in turn influenced British roadbuilders Metcalf, MacAdam and Telford who adopted a scientific approach in developing road construction techniques in the 19th century which are essentially unchanged today. For this reason, an understanding of Roman road engineering is crucial in understanding how present day UK road construction technology evolved. The introduction of flexibly bedded pavers as a road surfacing material during the second half of the 20th century coupled with the rediscovery of Roman roadbuilding during the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries has brought us to a point where it is more important than ever to look back at how, where, why and by whom Romans roads were built. 17 2 The Peoples ofItaly Roman roads comprised a crucial part of the development of Roman civilisation and it may be no exaggeration to state that the Roman Empire comprised a network of roads unifYing many disparate cultures from Newcastle to North Africa, from Portugal to Arabia. Indeed, one theory has it that the location of. Rome is at the cross-roads of two pre Roman roads - the Via Salaria (,The Salt Way') and the Via Latina3 The Via Salaria followed the course of the Tiber into the central Italian mountains and was originally built in pre-Roman times to transport rock salt quarried in the mountains to the centres of population near the coast.

  • The Britons in Late Antiquity: Power, Identity And
    THE BRITONS IN LATE ANTIQUITY: POWER, IDENTITY AND ETHNICITY EDWIN R. HUSTWIT Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Bangor University 2014 Summary This study focuses on the creation of both British ethnic or ‘national’ identity and Brittonic regional/dynastic identities in the Roman and early medieval periods. It is divided into two interrelated sections which deal with a broad range of textual and archaeological evidence. Its starting point is an examination of Roman views of the inhabitants of the island of Britain and how ethnographic images were created in order to define the population of Britain as 1 barbarians who required the civilising influence of imperial conquest. The discussion here seeks to elucidate, as far as possible, the extent to which the Britons were incorporated into the provincial framework and subsequently ordered and defined themselves as an imperial people. This first section culminates with discussion of Gildas’s De Excidio Britanniae. It seeks to illuminate how Gildas attempted to create a new identity for his contemporaries which, though to a certain extent based on the foundations of Roman-period Britishness, situated his gens uniquely amongst the peoples of late antique Europe as God’s familia. The second section of the thesis examines the creation of regional and dynastic identities and the emergence of kingship amongst the Britons in the late and immediately post-Roman periods. It is largely concerned to show how interaction with the Roman state played a key role in the creation of early kingships in northern and western Britain. The argument stresses that while there were claims of continuity in group identities in the late antique period, the socio-political units which emerged in the fifth and sixth centuries were new entities.

  • Walk the Way in a Day Walk 5 Upper Coquetdale and Chew Green
    Walk the Way in a Day Walk 5 Upper Coquetdale and Chew Green The course of a Roman road is followed from the 1965 - 2015 marching camp at Chew Green, at the head of Upper Coquetdale. The return route runs down a narrow valley beside a lively stream, then along a quiet road connecting isolated farmsteads. Length: 9¼ miles (15 kilometres) Ascent: 1,148 feet (350 metres) of ascent Highest Point: 1,575 feet (480 metres) Map(s): OS Explorer OL Map 16 (‘The Cheviot Hills’) (East & West Sheets) Starting Point: Chew Green parking area, Upper Coquetdale (NT 794 085) Facilities: Public toilets and inn at Alwinton. Website: http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/pennine-way/route/walk- way-day-walk-5-upper-coquetdale-and-chew-green Dere Street The starting point is close to the Roman marching camp at Chew Green, at the head of Upper Coquetdale. As an alternative to following the single track road up the valley, a shorter drive-in leaves the A68 in Upper Redesdale and follows MoD roads (Cottonshope Road and Dere Street) over the Redesdale artillery range. However, the availability of this route must be confirmed in advance. Significantly, the starting point is 1,280 feet (390 metres) above sea level, and launches straight onto the border ridge.

  • Programme and Abstracts
    PROGRAMME AND ABSTRACTS Roman Archaeology Conference XIII and Theoretical Roman Archaeology Conference XXVIII 12-15 April 2018 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The organisers of RAC/TRAC 2018 are very grateful to the following institutions and bodies for their support, financial and otherwise of this conference: the University of Edinburgh and especially the School of History, Classics and Archaeology; the Roman Society; the TRAC Committee; the National Museum of Scotland; Historic Environment Scotland; the Roman Research Trust; Barbican Research Associates; and the British School at Rome. 2 WELCOME FROM THE RAC AND TRAC 2018 COMMITTEES The University of Edinburgh has a long tradition of study of the Classical world, from the University's foundation in 1582 to the vibrant School of History, Classics and Archaeology today. Roman archaeology is a particular strength of the School and staff from Classics and Archaeology work closely together in this field. The University of Edinburgh has never hosted RAC or TRAC and we are proud to be able to do so in 2018. The organization of these conferences is a collaborative exercise, however, that involves institutions and individuals well beyond the University, including colleagues in Historic Environment Scotland and the National Museum of Scotland. The continued support of the Roman Society makes these conferences possible. RAC-TRAC 2018 will bring together nearly 400 delegates, the majority presenting either papers or posters. We are very grateful to our keynote speaker, Dr Elizabeth Fentress, for agreeing to give her lecture at the end of the opening day of the conference and to the National Museum of Scotland for hosting the reception afterwards.

  • Scotland During the Roman Empire
    Presented by Chev. Ed Ries October 21, 2010 Scotland during the Roman Empire Monument at site of the Roman fort of Trimontium Scotland during the Roman Empire encompasses a period of history from the arrival of Roman legions in c. AD 71 to their departure in 213. The history of the period is complex: the Roman Empire influenced every part of Scotland during the period. However the occupation was neither complete nor continuous. Interpretation is complicated by the fact that the idea of both "Scots" and of "Scotland" as a discrete entity did not emerge until later. The period is marked by appearance of the first historical accounts of the peoples of Scotland, as well as by extensive, yet inconclusive archaeological evidence. During this time, several tribes occupied Scotland. The Romans gave the name Caledonia to the land north of their province of Britannia, beyond the empire’s frontier. Although the Roman presence was at an important time in Scottish history, because it was when written records emerged, Roman influence on Scottish culture was not enduring. The Roman invasion under Quintus Petillius Cerialis began in AD 71 and culminated in the battle of Mons Graupius at an unknown location in northern Scotland – probably in the Grampian mountains in AD 84. Although the Caledonia Confederacy suffered a defeat, it was not long before the legions abandoned their gains and returned to a line south of the Solway Firth, later consolidated by the construction of Hadrian's Wall. Roman commanders subsequently attempted to conquer territory north of this line, including building the Antonine Wall, but their success was short-lived.
