Bambi, G., & Iacobelli, S. (2017). Study and Monitoring of the Itinerant Tourism along the francigena Route, by Camera Trapping System. Almatourism, (Special Issue N. 6), 144–164. The authors used a camera trapping system in an attempt to define a user profile for the Via Francigena, and estimate the number of users traveling along the route. Over the course of 15 months, 4 cameras were used in the Tuscan section of the route. Camera trapping stations also had mini-questionnaires for users to give information about themselves. This research design can be reproduced on other trails to get information about users. Bardakcı, K. (2018). Roads Connecting the Konya Plain to the Taşeli Plateau in the Ancient Period. Asya Studies, (3), 39–45. The author reviews the road network extending from the Taşeli Plateau to the southeast from Hittite through Roman times. Though the area covered is Just outside of the region traversed by the Via Eurasia, the article can yield insights about the extent of trade and transport in the region in ancient times. Baştemur C.

Bekker-Nielsen, T. (2016). The Ancient Roads of Northern Cyprus. In L. Summerer & H. Kaba (Eds.), Northern face of Cyprus (pp. 117–129). Ege Yayinlari. Like castles, mosques and churches, the roads of Cyprus are part of the island’s historic heritage. Features of Cypriot pre-modern roads are contrasted with those built by the British during their occupation, and with modern road design on the island. Several of the pre-modern road features found in Cyprus (such as using hilltops as a place for directional change, and angular rather than curved turns) are also indicative of ancient roads that run along the Via Eurasia. Bekker-Nielsen, T., & Czichon, R. (2015). Ancient Roads and Bridges of the Vezirköprü District. In K. Winther-Jacobsen & L.

Retrieved from http://www.steiner- verlag.de/programm/fachbuch/altertumswissenschaften/alte-geschichte/reihen/view/titel/60660.html This piece describes how new finds in the Vezirköprü region of northern Anatolia suggest that the region had a complex Roman road network that was later overlaid with SelJuk and Ottoman additions. The authors also posit the track of Pompey’s “trunk road” and the existence of Hittite routes in the region linking sites.

(2008). Communications: Roads and Bridges. In E. Jefferys, J. Haldon, & R. Cormack (Eds.), The Oxford Handbook of Byzantine Studies. Oxford University Press. Belke outlines several aspects of roads and bridges in the Byzantine Empire. He covers the following aspects: the main routes of the empire; the purposes of road-building, their users, and the means of travel; road administration and road repairing activities; different types of roads and their Byzantine designations; and the archaeological aspect of roads, bridges, and staging posts. Although there is very little detail about specific roads, this work serves as a concise summary of the Byzantine road system. Belke, K. (2002). Roads and travel in Macedonia and Thrace in the middle and late Byzantine period*. In R. Macrides (Ed.), Travel in the Byzantine World (pp. 73–90). https://doi.org/10.4324/9781315235646-4 Focusing on the Via Egnatia and the Via Militaris, this paper uses historical sources to posit when and where these iconic roads fell into disrepair. The author also cites examples of where parallel alternative routes arose and came into favor. Belke, K. (2017). Transport and Communication. In P. Niewohner (Ed.), The Archaeology of Byzantine Anatolia (Oxford Uni, pp. 28–38). Oxford. This book chapter summarizes what is known about the Byzantine road network in Anatolia. Although the Byzantines did very little to change the Roman road network itself, after the 6th century the importance of roads shifted, with main roads falling out of use and traffic and resources shifted to what had previously been smaller paths. Literary and religious sources are used to determine the changes in the Byzantine road system because the empire did not produce Roman style itineraries. Belke K. Justinians Brüke über den Sangarios.

The T-shaped Zaviye/İmarets of Edirne: A Key Mechanism for Ottoman Urban Morphological Transformation. Journal of the Ottoman and Turkish Studies Association, 3(1), 29–48. https://doi.org/10.2979/Jottturstuass.3.1.04 This article examines the process that formed the urban fabric of early Ottoman Edirne from the mid- fourteenth to the mid-fifteenth century. By examining the physical structures built in the course of the first century after the Ottoman conquest of the city the article traces the formation of the Ottoman urban morphology, which replaced the inherited Byzantine spatial order of urban tissue. The study argues that Ottoman-era normative patterns, visible in the spatial modification of other Bithynian and Balkan cities, are also clearly discernible in Edirne. Scholars have previously examined in detail the rich architectural heritage of early Ottoman Edirne mostly from artistic and architectural perspectives, but paid little attention to the changes of the city’s physical form.

The Economic History Review, 7(1), 1–18. This article argues that, in contrast to the orthodox view that heavy transportation across land was rare or nonexistent in ancient times, teams of oxen were used to move materials such as stone over long distances of road in the pre-classical world. There are also references to instances of road repair during the classical era due to heavy transport wearing on road surfaces. 3 Via Eurasia scientific committee Burney, C. A. (1956). Northern Anatolia before Classical Times. Anatolian Studies, 6(Special Number in Honour and Memory of Professor John Garstang), 179–203. Bithynia and Paphlagoni are described in detail, including what is known about their trade and transportation networks.. There are three natural east-west routes in the region that show traces of classical occupation, some of which seem to overlap with parts of the Via Eurasia, mainly in the areas around and south of Bursa.

  • Historic Lessons About Metropolitan Genome
    HISTORIC LESSONS ABOUT METROPOLITAN GENOME - FROM NAISSUS TO SERDICA AND FROM SOFIA TO NIŠ DR NATAŠA ŽIVALJEVIĆ LUXOR NATIONAL HERITAGE FOUNDATION, BELGRADE, SERBIA In rapidly changing world, growth of population causes sublimation of urban areas to cities, metropolitan areas and megacities. “Bigger” means more efficient and stronger. Therefore, concern about size means concern about economy, social progress and vitality. In this paper, we discuss lessons from Roman times about socio-economic development between Naissus and Serdica and their relevance for contemporary urban area between Sofia and Niš. In other words, we discuss metropolitan genome and relevance of historical structures along the axe between Naissus and Serdica which is approximately axe of VIA MILITARIS for well-being of inhabitants of designated area between Sofia and Niš nowadays. National Heritage Foundation FROM NAISSUS TO SERDICA AND FROM SOFIA TO NIŠ Belgrade, Serbia The works on Corridor 10 - the highway from Niš to Bulgarian border led to discoveries of many archaeological sites National Heritage Foundation FROM NAISSUS TO SERDICA AND FROM SOFIA TO NIŠ Belgrade, Serbia Transition gap passing from state run economy to market system In the recent past, the prosperity was badly influenced by state borders, which implied firm borders of political and military alliances. After the end of The Cold War, political circumstances changed, but not for better in all terms. Bulgaria joined EU and NATO, while Serbia faced civil wars and consequently a short war with NATO in 1999. Both Serbia and Bulgaria passed from state run economy to market system, which also means trough a necessary gap in transition and that gap is what is considered in daily life “economic and political turmoil” of recent decades.

  • Map 44 Latium-Campania Compiled by N
    Map 44 Latium-Campania Compiled by N. Purcell, 1997 Introduction The landscape of central Italy has not been intrinsically stable. The steep slopes of the mountains have been deforested–several times in many cases–with consequent erosion; frane or avalanches remove large tracts of regolith, and doubly obliterate the archaeological record. In the valley-bottoms active streams have deposited and eroded successive layers of fill, sealing and destroying the evidence of settlement in many relatively favored niches. The more extensive lowlands have also seen substantial depositions of alluvial and colluvial material; the coasts have been exposed to erosion, aggradation and occasional tectonic deformation, or–spectacularly in the Bay of Naples– alternating collapse and re-elevation (“bradyseism”) at a staggeringly rapid pace. Earthquakes everywhere have accelerated the rate of change; vulcanicity in Campania has several times transformed substantial tracts of landscape beyond recognition–and reconstruction (thus no attempt is made here to re-create the contours of any of the sometimes very different forerunners of today’s Mt. Vesuvius). To this instability must be added the effect of intensive and continuous intervention by humanity. Episodes of depopulation in the Italian peninsula have arguably been neither prolonged nor pronounced within the timespan of the map and beyond. Even so, over the centuries the settlement pattern has been more than usually mutable, which has tended to obscure or damage the archaeological record. More archaeological evidence has emerged as modern urbanization spreads; but even more has been destroyed. What is available to the historical cartographer varies in quality from area to area in surprising ways.

Kemer Kemer is a seaside resort and district of Antalya Province on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, 40 km (25 mil) west of the city of Antalya, on the Turkish Riviera. Kemer is on the Gulf of Antalya, 53 km (33 mi) of sea coast with the skirts of the western Taurus Mountains behind. The coast has the typical Mediterranean hot, dry weather and warm sea. Until the early 1980s this was a quiet rural district but today the town of Kemer and coastal villages in the district play a very important part in tourism in Turkey. Tourism in Kemer One of the major attractions of Kemer is its natural beauty; sea, mountains and pine forest combine in harmony. The shore from Beldibi to Tekirova consists of unspoilt beaches in bays of various sizes, mostly stony rather than sand. With easy transportation, good communication and other municipal services Kemer has a large proportion of the hotel bed capacity of the Antalya region, and is a comfortable and peaceful holiday coast with internationally accepted reputation, attracting large numbers of visitors from countries such as Germany, the Netherlands, and in recent years predominantly families from Russia.

  • Western Lycian Way – Group Guided
    Western Lycian Way – Group Guided Summary This Small Group Guided Itinerary cherry picks the best walks of the Western End of the Lycian Way and adds some stunning high mountain walks that will also give you the chance to meet and enjoy the company of the Nomadic Yörük people. We will walk on the coast, across grazing lands and through orchards and above the tree-line close to the snow- capped mountains (Ak Dağ) near Gömbe. This really is the best walking, history and culture that Western Lycia has to offer. The itinerary has a good deal of historical content and includes a boat trip over the sunken city of Kekova. We will also visit the three cities that at different times were the capital of the Lycian League. These are Xanthos the first capital, Patara the home of the Lycian Parliament building and Myra the bishopric of Saint Nicholas the source of much of the santa Claus legends. If nature is your “thing” then you will love the crystal blue waters where we can often see turtles in Kekova and Dalyan, the wetlands that are home to resident and migrating birds, the coast and coastal towns which host hundreds of storks and the rugged, mountainous terrain where eagles and buzzards soar. You will almost certainly find myriad lizards, the ubiquitous wild tortoises and occasional snakes. The wild flowers, particularly in spring are absolutely stunning. Turkey has over 9,000 species of flora of which 40% is endemic. If your idea of a great walking holiday is a good solid walking programme steeped in history, culture and nature, then you need look no further.

  • La Via Appia
    LA VIA APPIA Storia Alla fine del IV secolo a.C. Roma era padrona di gran parte della Penisola e una delle grandi potenze del Mediterraneo, solo pochi gruppi etnici, a sud delle Alpi, restavano da soggiogare. L'Urbe stessa stava cambiando il suo volto tradizionale assumendo quello di una capitale, ricca di opere pubbliche erette dai suoi generali vittoriosi. Il Foro, il Campidoglio, erano luoghi dove si ostentava la potenza crescente della città. Solo la nazione Sannita sfidava ancora l'egemonia di Roma da sud; da Paestum all'Apulia la Lega Sannitica minacciava di prendere Capua, non lontana dai confini del Lazio. La Via Appia nacque in questo contesto, come una via militare che consentiva di accelerare le comunicazioni coi confini meridionali del territorio conquistato. La strada fu poi estesa man mano che altri territori cadevano sotto il dominio di Roma. Appio Claudio Cieco, il console, fu colui che rese celebre la funzione di censore per le grandi imprese di interesse pubblico da lui realizzate, ma il suo nome fu reso famoso dalla Via Appia che gli sopravvisse. Nel 1993 la Via Appia compie 2305 anni, Appio fece tracciare la strada all'epoca delle guerre contro i Sanniti, nel 312 a.C., da Roma a Capua, per una distanza di 124 miglia romane. Appio impiegò anche i suoi capitali personali laddove le tesorerie dello stato erano insufficienti. Al primo posto fra tutte le strade di Roma c'era la Via Appia, a suo tempo la più lunga, la più bella, la più imponente via che fosse mai stata tracciata in alcuna parte del mondo, al punto che i romani la chiamarono "Regina di tutte le vie".
