  • The Population of Cisalpine Gaul in the Time of Augustus1
    The Population of Cisalpine Gaul in the time of Augustus1 In order to put the arguments of this article into a realistic perspective, I want to start by making it clear that we do not know and will never know for certain how many people lived in Cisalpine Gaul during the late Republic and early Empire.2 In theory, then, this could be the shortest article on ancient demography ever written. The reason why I have nevertheless decided to devote a short piece to this seemingly unpromising topic is quite simply that there are, in my view, many interesting things to say about the population of Cisalpine Gaul that have never been said before. It is also my contention that even though the new considerations that will be put forward in this paper do not in any way prove a low-count interpretation of Italy’s demographic history to be correct, they at least highlight some difficulties in the high count that have not received the attention they clearly deserve. My attempt to shed new light on these issues will centre on the shape of the urban network and on the size of the aggregate urban population. I shall begin by looking at the physical size of the towns of Cisalpina and by examining some of the variables that are likely to have influenced the number of town-dwellers per hectare. My next step will be to discuss briefly the problem of urbanization rates. In theory, if it were possible for us to recover both the approximate number of town-dwellers (POPurb) and the overall urbanization rate (URB.RATE) for Cisalpina, the overall population of the North could be extrapolated from the urban population, using the following formula: POPtot = (100: URB.

  • Prima Dell'abbazia Di Staffarda
    PRIMA DELL’ABBAZIA DI STAFFARDA: STORIA E ARCHEOLOGIA Roberto Polidori (con contributi di Mario Busatto e Feliciano Della Mora) Prefazione Per comprendere la storia del territorio prima della costruzione dell’dell’Abbazia di Staffarda, si è ritenuto indispensabile ricostruire, in modo molto sintetico, come si svilupparono le città e l’antica rete viaria nel cuneese, con particolare attenzione alle zone limitrofe di Staffarda. Per poter ipotizzare alcune conclusioni di seguito descritte e dopo aver eseguito le ricerche relative alla storia delle città nel Cuneese, si è ritenuto indispensabile creare un documento facilmente interpretabile che riportasse le seguenti informazioni: 1. insediamenti, reperti del Neolitico 2. luoghi sacri del Neolitico 3. necropoli dall’età del Bronzo medio all’età media del Ferro (XIV- V secolo a.C.) 4. insediamenti: liguri-celti 5. testimonianze e reperti: liguri-celti 6. templi: liguri-celti 7. insediamenti, reperti etruschi 8. municipia romani 9. oppida romane (città fortificate) 10. castra romani (accampamento o fortificazione nella quale risiedeva una legione) 11. stazioni doganali romane 12. testimonianze romane: resti di mura, reperti, ripostigli monetali, cippi ecc. 13. templi romani 14. necropoli romane 15. pievi romane 16. insediamenti, reperti longobardi 17. centri monastici e pievi longobarde 18. zona soggetta ad invasione dei Cartaginesi 19. zona soggetta ad invasione dei Franchi 20. zona soggetta ad invasione dei Saraceni 21. zona soggetta ad invasione dei Visigoti 22. zona soggetta ad invasione dei Burgundi 23. zona soggetta ad invasione dei Ungheri 24. zona soggetta ad invasione dei Goti LAGO SCOMPARSO DI STAFFARDA LINEA CONTINUA: Percorso documentato PERCORSI-STRADE LINEA TRATTEGGIATA: Percorso scarsamente documentato o ipotizzato strade protostoriche dal IV millennio a.C.

  • Gathering GPR Inspections and UAV Survey in Cultural Heritage Documentation Context
    Gathering GPR Inspections and UAV Survey in Cultural Heritage Documentation Context Alessandro Arato2, Flora Garofalo2, Giulia Sammartano1 and Antonia Spanò1 1(DAD) Department of Architecture and Design, Politecnico di Torino, Torino, Italy 2(DIATI) Department of Environment, Land and Infrastructure Engineering, Politecnico di Torino, Torino, Italy Keywords: UAV Photogrammetry, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), Historical Maps, GIS, Cultural Heritage. Abstract: The archaeological researches and more generally the Cultural Heritage (CH) documentation and conservation activities have been favourably disposed to the use of new technologies, with renewed and increasing interest in the use of integrated techniques. In the field of Geomatics the advent of advanced technologies has allowed and facilitated multidisciplinary studies as well as combined approaches to the documentation in various contexts. The production of spatially located data (e.g. from active or passive sensors placed in different system segments, from terrestrial to aerial to satellite position) and their interoperability from different source, with the help of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), were then made easier. The work has the aim of investigating the integration of multiple data derived from aerial photogrammetry products through Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) survey, from geophysical Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) prospection technique and analysis of historical maps. An archaeological area in the south of Piedmont (Italy), next to the ancient Roman settlement of Pollentia, has been the test case. The present fulfilled test was objected to exclude ancient presences, although this type of workflow is generally aimed to analyse and compare results in order to formulate some hypothesis about the potential presence of submerged elements or built substructures in the investigated area.

And don’t miss a detour of just a few kilometres to Pollenzo. The itinerary comes to an end in Alba, where you can enjoy the many wonders and treasures of this town after an unforgettable ride through the Langhe.

It was in these wine cellars that, by order of the King, General Staglieno began the “modern-day” wine production of the Royal House’s Barolo, a dry, still wine aged in oak barrels. The Castello di Verduno Winery remains to this day in a sort of ideal embodiment of the amazing Bar to Bar tours through the Langhe from Barbaresco to Barolo (hence “Bar” to “Bar”), the two most prestigious of Italy’s red wines, given that the owner Franco Bianco is from Barbaresco while his wife, Gabriella Burlotto, is from Verduno.

    The Langhe. What Makes this Place so Special? The Answer is Blowin’ in the Wind! Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) The Langhe. What Makes this Place so Special? The Answer is Blowin’ in the Wind! Letizia Airos (June 17, 2014) The founder of Eataly talks about Alba and the Langhe, a thriving region located in the heart of Piedmont, between the sea and the Alps “I was born on September 24, 1954, in Alba, the ‘capital’ of the Langhe hills. My father was from Barbaresco, my mother from Barolo,” says Oscar Farinetti [2], mulling over his homeland. The cities where his parents come from are also home to two famous namesake wines. But today we’re standing in front of Eataly [3], the megastore on 5th Avenue, and Farinetti’s words are a breath of fresh air amid the traffic of Manhattan. Fresh air, it turns out, will be the subject of much of our interview. “Alba is incredibly situated: south of Turin, in the plain of the Tanaro river, a 34-mile straight shot from the Ligurian seaside city of Savona. To the west are the beautiful hills of Roero, to the east Page 1 of 4 The Langhe. What Makes this Place so Special? The Answer is Blowin’ in the Wind! Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) the beautiful hills of Langhe. The latter are ‘kissed’ by God because they produce slightly rounded hazelnuts considered the best in the world as well as important Italian red wines: beside Dolcetto [4] and Barbera [5], the legendary Nebbiolo grape [6], which is produced by the conjunction of the Marin (costal) winds coming from the shores of Savona and the fresh air of the maritime Alps that come down from Monviso.

This dissertation addresses that question by examining one area, northern Italy, which was administered by the state at its most and least intensive. In the Republican and Late Antique periods the state frequently and directly intervened in the area. During the Republic changing Roman conceptions of northern Italy led the state to intervene dramatically in ways that remade the physical and demographic landscape of the region, while in the late Roman period similarly changing attitudes led to reformulation of the region’s purpose and position within the empire. In contrast, the Roman state’s presence in northern Italy in the early Imperial period was minimal, and this study explores the reasons for and effects of that minimalist approach on northern Italy in the first and second centuries AD.
