In 25 this paper, we conducted a systematic revision of the Troglohyphantes species of the Italian Alps, 26 with a special focus on the Lucifuga complex, including the description of two new species (T. 27 lucifer n. sp. and T. apenninicus n. sp). In addition, we provided new diagnostic drawings of the 28 holotype of T. henroti (Henroti complex) and established three new synonymies within the genus. 29 The molecular analysis of the animal DNA barcode confirms the validity of this method of 30 identification of the Alpine Troglohyphantes and provides additional support for the morphology- 31 based species complexes. Finally, we revised the known distribution range of additional 32 Troglohyphantes species, as well as other poorly known alpine cave-dwelling spiders.

  • The Capitolium at Brescia in the Flavian Period
    Anne Kleineberg The Capitolium at Brescia in the Flavian Period Abstract: The Capitolium at Brescia is one of the rare well-preserved examples of this temple type in Roman Italy. Large parts of its architecture, interior design and the forum area to which it was con- nected, can be reconstructed. This case study will provide a systematic analysis of the Capitolium, focusing on the aesthetic and semantic effects of its decorative elements, as well as their correla- tion and interaction in the creation of specific spatial qualities. Consequently, various aspects – such as the urban setting, architecture and layout, different features of the interior design and the framework of action, i. e., that of ritual performances – will be taken into account. Temples located in the forum helped to define the political and religious centre of Roman cities. At Brescia (Roman Brixia), located between Milan and Verona1, the Capitolium was rebuilt during the reign of the emperor Vespasian, a process that was completed in A.D. 72/732 (Figs. 1–3). Dis- tinctive features of the temple were its position on a high terrace on the southern slope of the Colle Cidneo and its transverse layout, which included three large cellae (dedicated to Jupiter, Juno and Minerva), two rooms of unknown function3 and lateral porticos. The elongated forum was situated directly to the south of the Capitolium area, enclosed by porticos at the sides and a basilica at the end of the square. The two areas were separated by a remarkable difference in height and by the elevated decumanus maximus, which crossed the city in an east-west direction.

  • Mortality Selection in the First Three Months of Life and Survival in the Following Thirty-Three Months in Rural Veneto (North-East Italy) from 1816 to 1835
    Mortality selection in the first three months of life and survival in the following thirty-three months in rural Veneto (North-East Italy) from 1816 to 1835 Leonardo Piccione, University of Padova, Italy Gianpiero Dalla-Zuanna, University of Padova, Italy Alessandra Minello, European University Institute, Italy Abstract BACKGROUND A number of studies have examined the influence of life conditions in infancy (and pregnancy) on mortality risks in adulthood or old age. For those individuals who survived difficult life conditions, some scholars have found a prevalence of positive selection (relatively low mortality within the population), while others have observed the prevalence of a so-called scar-effect (relatively high mortality within the population). OBJECTIVE Using micro-data characterized by broad internal mortality differences before the demographic transition (forty-three parishes within the region of Veneto, North-East Italy, 1816-35), we aim to understand whether children who survived high mortality risks during the first three months of life (early infant mortality) had a higher or a lower probability of surviving during the following 33 months (late infant mortality). METHODS Using a Cox regression, we model the risk of dying during the period of 3-35 months of age, considering mortality level survived at age 0-2 months of age as the main explanatory variable. 1 RESULTS We show that positive selection prevailed. For cohorts who survived very severe early mortality selection (q0-2 > 400‰, where the subscripts are months of age), the risk of dying was 20-30% lower compared to the cohorts where early mortality selection was relatively small (q0-2 < 200‰).
