Calendar of Roman Events
Introduction Steve Worboys and I began this calendar in 1980 or 1981 when we discovered that the exact dates of many events survive from Roman antiquity, the most famous being the ides of March murder of Caesar. Flipping through a few books on Roman history revealed a handful of dates, and we believed that to fill every day of the year would certainly be impossible. From 1981 until 1989 I kept the calendar, adding dates as I ran across them. In 1989 I typed the list into the computer and we began again to plunder books and journals for dates, this time recording sources. Since then I have worked and reworked the Calendar, revising old entries and adding many, many more. The Roman Calendar The calendar was reformed twice, once by Caesar in 46 BC and later by Augustus in 8 BC. Each of these reforms is described in A. K. Michels’ book The Calendar of the Roman Republic. In an ordinary pre-Julian year, the number of days in each month was as follows: 29 January 31 May 29 September 28 February 29 June 31 October 31 March 31 Quintilis (July) 29 November 29 April 29 Sextilis (August) 29 December. The Romans did not number the days of the months consecutively. They reckoned backwards from three fixed points: The kalends, the nones, and the ides. The kalends is the first day of the month. For months with 31 days the nones fall on the 7th and the ides the 15th. For other months the nones fall on the 5th and the ides on the 13th. -

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. -

Zenodo. 18 August 2019 – DOI 10.5281/zenodo.3370498 The Roman Towns and the geometry - Examples of Varatio Amelia Carolina Sparavigna1 1 Dipartimento di Scienza Applicata e Tecnologia, Politecnico di Torino, Torino, Italy Abstract This work is proposing some examples of a possible use of the geometry based on rectangular triangles, the varato, in the planning of Roman towns. It is known that the planning of them is based on the centuriaton, a grid of parallel and perpendicular streets, where the two main axes are the Decumanus and the Cardo. The rato of the cathet of the rectangular triangles gives the angle the Decumanus is forming with the east-west directon. Keywords: Centuriaton, Orientaton of Roman colonies, Varare, Varato Torino, 18 August 2019, DOI 10.5281/zenodo.3370498 The planning of the Roman colonies was realized by the ancient land surveyors by means of a method which is known as limitatio or ceoturiatio. -
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. -

DOI 10.5281/zenodo.3361974 Roman Centuriation in Satellite Images Amelia Carolina Sparavigna (Department of Applied Science and Technology, Politecnico di Torino) Published in enviro.philica.com Abstract The satellite images of Google Earth can show us how the Roman divided the land in their colonies, according to the surveying system of Centuriation. Keywords: Satellite images, Google Earth, Centuriation. Centuriation is the surveying system used in the Roman world to divide the land to be used by Roman settlers, which were sent in the conquered territories for military or demographic reasons [1]. This division of the territory was based on parallel and perpendicular lines which were called “decumani” and “kardines”. The decumani were usually arranged along the larger part of the territory, or were parallel to a public main road. Decumani and kardines were the "limites" of the land, and "limitatio" was synonymous with land division. -

Jews on Trial: the Papal Inquisition in Modena, 1598–1638
Jews on trial artwork 8/7/11 15:07 Page 1 J ews on tr STUDIES IN EARLY MODERN EUROPEAN HISTORY Jews on trial ‘A welcome addition to our knowledge ... the archival material has been handled with care and sensitivity’ The Papal Inquisition in Modena, Simon Ditchfield, University of York, UK 1598-1638 esearch on the Papal Inquisition in Italy has tended to centre on trials for ial Rheresy, witchcraft and possession of prohibited books, but little is known of the activities of the Inquisition with respect to practising Jews. This book explores the role of the Papal Inquisition in Modena, the status of Jews in the KATHERINE ARON-BELLER early modern Italian duchy and the fundamental disparity in Inquisitorial procedure regarding professing Jews. It also uses the detailed testimony to be found in trial transcripts to analyse Jewish interaction with Christian society in an early modern European community. Jews on trial concentrates on Inquisitorial activity during the period which historians have argued was the most active in the Inquisition’s history – the first forty years of the tribunal in Modena, from 1598 to 1638, the year of the Jews’ enclosure in the ghetto. This book will appeal to scholars of inquisitorial studies, social and cultural interaction in early modern Europe, Jewish Italian social history and anti-Semitism. Katherine Aron-Beller is a lecturer in Jewish History both at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and at Tel Aviv University. In 2006-07 she served as a Visiting Assistant Professor at the George Washington University in Washington, DC AR ON-BELLER ‘The Strappada’ From Thomas Murner Die Entehrung Mariae durch die Juden, reproduced in Jahrbuch für Geschichte, Sprache und Literatur Elsass-Lothringen 21 (1905) ISBN 978-0-7190-8519-2 9 7 8 0 7 1 9 0 8 5 1 9 2 www.manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk Jews on trial Aron-Beller_01_TextAll.indd 1 18/02/2011 14:22 STUDIES IN EARLY MODERN EUROPEAN HISTORY This series aims to publish challenging and innovative research in all areas of early modern continental history. -

The areas and populations of these nine provinces are: Bologna.................... 3,702 km2 ....... pop. 973,255 Ferrara ..................... 2,377 km2 ....... pop. 387,200 Forli-Cesena ............ 2,377 km2 ....... pop. 387,200 Modeno .................... 2,689 km2 ....... pop. 686,104 Parma ...................... 3,449 km2 ....... pop. 431,419 Piacenza .................. 2,589 km2 ....... pop. 284,885 Ravenna .................. 1,858 km2 ....... pop. 383,945 Reggio Emilia ........... 2,293 km2 ....... pop. 517,374 Rimini .......................... 863 km2 ....... pop. 325,219 The Metropolitan City of Bologna is the Capital City of the region. Emilia-Romagna is one of the wealthiest and most developed regions in Europe, with the third highest GDP per capita in Italy. Bologna, its capital, has one of Italy's highest quality of life indices and advanced social services. Emilia-Romagna is also a cultural and tourist center, being the home of the University of Bologna, the oldest university in the world, containing Romanesque and Renaissance cities (such as Modena, Parma and Ferrara), being a center for food and automobile production (home of automotive companies such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Pagani, De Tomaso and Ducati) and having popular coastal resorts such as Cervia, Cesenatico, Rimini and Riccione. Etymology The name Emilia-Romagna is a legacy of Ancient Rome. Emilia derives from the via Aemilia, the Roman road connecting Rome to northern Italy, completed in 187 B.C. -
