The topic is also relevant to the new Ancient History syllabus in Queensland. To the student • Each chapter begins with a summary of the content covered, followed by a list of key terms and concepts introduced within the chapter. Definitions are placed close to relevant text so that you can quickly absorb them and apply your understanding to the context of the general discussion. References to selected websites at hi.com will lead you to further investigations. • ‘Review and revise’ questions at key places in the text will help you compile factual answers in your notes, which will help with revision for examinations. • Critical inquiry questions and activities are designed to lead you into an examination of historical evidence that produces conflicting, and sometimes controversial, interpretations of the past. You are invited to examine the evidence and evaluate your findings. You will also be prompted to make judgements about which source is the most reliable, as well as develop your own theories and interpretations. • ‘Dig deeper’ activities at the end of the chapter consolidate your learning and challenge you to evaluate information and apply your knowledge to wider contexts. • Further reading and general references invite you to undertake additional research on current issues relating to Pompeii and Herculaneum that appear in the media, books and journals and on the Internet. A summary of the knowledge and skills addressed is provided at the end of each chapter. • Additional classroom activities and quizzes can be found on the companion CD-ROM. The German literary genius Goethe wrote: ‘Many a calamity has happened in the world, but never one that has caused so much entertainment to posterity as this one.’ May this book entertain, as well as educate.

The story is set in 1943 when much of Nazi Enigma Code has already been cracked. However, Shark, the impenetrable cipher used to hide the movements of the U-boats, the German submarines, to the Allies, is still a mystery. A top secret team of British cryptographers led by the brilliant mathematician Tom Jericho has the task of deciphering it. They succeed in breaking the code, but unfortunately the Germans change it. As an Allied convoy crosses the North Atlantic Ocean full of U-boats, Jericho has to solve three mysteries with the help of his girlfriend’s roommate who is on the convoy: the code, whether his girlfriend Claire is a spy and if she has been murdered.

All rights reserved. [email protected] | www.genius-loci.it ***GENIUS LOCI TRAVEL - The Real Spirit Of Italy*** Guided small group cycling tour INTRODUZIONE The regions of Amalfi and the Cilento have been known as a paradise on earth since ancient times. The Greeks built some of their most impressive temples here and under the Romans they formed part of ‘Campania Felix’, or the Happy Land. When travelling here, one easily becomes overwhelmed by the well-known cultural and natural attractions of the famous ‘Costiera Amalfitana’ with its towering cliffs and picturesque coves. However, the Cilento region south of Salerno, now one of Italy’s biggest National Parks, where the coastline bulges out into an expanse of mountainous landmass, is also well worth a visit. This tour gives you the opportunity to discover both the busy, touristy Amalfi and the quiet, peaceful Cilento. Here in the Cilento National Park you pass through world-famous cultural sites that are UNESCO World Heritage listed, such as Velia and Paestum, and visit some of the nicest medieval villages in the area, both along the coast and slightly inland, where the traditional way of life is still evident. All these attractions are connected by great well-paved and quiet roads, ideal for cycling. Of course there will also be plenty of time to enjoy the splendid beaches and wonderful food on offer.

  • Water Events and Historical Flood Recurrences in the Vietri Sul Mare Coastal Area (Costiera Amalfitana, Southern Italy)

IAHS Publ. 286, 2004 95 Water events and historical flood recurrences in the Vietri sul Mare coastal area (Costiera Amalfitana, southern Italy) ELIANA ESPOSITO1, SABINA PORFIDO1, CRESCENZO VIOLANTE1, CHI ARA BISCARINI1, FIORENTINO ALAIA2 & GIUSEPPE ESPOSITO3 1 Istituto Ambieule Marino Cosliero, Calala Porta di Massa, intemo porto, 1-80133 Napoli, Italy eliana(5),gms01 .geomare.na.cnr.it 2 Archivio di Stalo di Avellino, Italy 3 Regione Campania, Napoli, Italy Abstract This study addresses problems pertinent to the municipality of Vietri sul Mare located in the southeastern comer of the Amalft coast (southern Italy). The physical landscape, the economic settlements, the social activity and the natural hazards characterizing this area depend particularly on water: meteoric, riverine and marine. Indeed Vietri sul Mare is located on a steep rocky coast deeply dissected by ephemeral water courses (the Stream Bonea basin) with human activities mainly developed on the narrow stream banks located at the base of steep sided valleys, or at the mouth of Stream Bonea. This exposes them to a high hydrogeological risk triggered by water events associated with heavy rain. Several historical sources report at least 22 flooding events for the Vietri area during the last three centuries, which caused severe damage. In this paper historical sources are combined with geological data in order to improve the mitigation of flood phenomena through the reconstruction of historical floods and the estimation of the associated risks. Key words flood; historical source; hydrological risk; rocky coast; Sorrento peninsula; southern Italy INTRODUCTION The study area is located on the southern flank of the Sorrento peninsula (Costiera Amalfitana), west of Salerno (southern Italy).

  • Pompeii and Herculaneum: a Sourcebook Allows Readers to Form a Richer and More Diverse Picture of Urban Life on the Bay of Naples
    POMPEII AND HERCULANEUM The original edition of Pompeii: A Sourcebook was a crucial resource for students of the site. Now updated to include material from Herculaneum, the neighbouring town also buried in the eruption of Vesuvius, Pompeii and Herculaneum: A Sourcebook allows readers to form a richer and more diverse picture of urban life on the Bay of Naples. Focusing upon inscriptions and ancient texts, it translates and sets into context a representative sample of the huge range of source material uncovered in these towns. From the labels on wine jars to scribbled insults, and from advertisements for gladiatorial contests to love poetry, the individual chapters explore the early history of Pompeii and Herculaneum, their destruction, leisure pursuits, politics, commerce, religion, the family and society. Information about Pompeii and Herculaneum from authors based in Rome is included, but the great majority of sources come from the cities themselves, written by their ordinary inhabitants – men and women, citizens and slaves. Incorporating the latest research and finds from the two cities and enhanced with more photographs, maps and plans, Pompeii and Herculaneum: A Sourcebook offers an invaluable resource for anyone studying or visiting the sites. Alison E. Cooley is Reader in Classics and Ancient History at the University of Warwick. Her recent publications include Pompeii. An Archaeological Site History (2003), a translation, edition and commentary of the Res Gestae Divi Augusti (2009), and The Cambridge Manual of Latin Epigraphy (2012). M.G.L. Cooley teaches Classics and is Head of Scholars at Warwick School. He is Chairman and General Editor of the LACTOR sourcebooks, and has edited three volumes in the series: The Age of Augustus (2003), Cicero’s Consulship Campaign (2009) and Tiberius to Nero (2011).
