El Monte Testaccio En El Imperio Romano
[Publicado previamente en: J.M.ª Blázquez - J. Remesal - E. Rodríguez (eds.), Excavaciones arqueológicas en el Monte Testaccio (Roma). Memoria campaña 1989, Madrid, Ministerio de Cultura, 1994, 11-17. Editado aquí en versión digital por cortesía del autor, como parte de su Obra Completa, bajo su supervisión y con la paginación original]. © José María Blázquez Martínez El Monte Testaccio en el Imperio Romano José María Blázquez Martínez Roma, al igual que las grandes ciudades de la Antigüedad, Alejandría o Siracusa, necesitaba de los alimentos que le llegaban del exterior. Tenía la ventaja, frente a otras grandes ciudades situadas tierra adentro, de estar junto al Tíber, navegable desde Ostia. Esta ciudad, verdadero puerto de Roma al decir de Estrabón (3.2.6), era el lugar a partir del cual el transporte marítimo se convertía en fluvial. El citado geógrafo escribe sobre el particular que los mayores navíos de carga llegados a Puteoli u Ostia procedían de la Bética. Entre los productos alimentarios exportados a Roma desde el sur de Hispania, Estrabón (3.2.6) menciona concretamente ya en la época de Augusto "mucho vino y aceite". Los emperadores prestaron suma atención al Tíber y sus problemas de inundaciones: César (Suet. Caes 44), Augusto (Suet. Aug. 37), Tiberio (Tac. Ann. I. 79) y principalmente, Claudio (Suet. Claud. 20), que construyó el puerto exterior. Para la construcción del puerto el emperador realizó una serie de fossae con las que Claudio creyó solucionar el problema de las inundaciones endémicas de Roma. Con la construcción del puerto de Claudio, la vieja vía Portuense-Campana no sólo servía para el tráfico de la sal, sino que estaba directamente en función de la actividad del puerto. -
Tra Testaccio E L'ostiense I Segni Di Roma Produttiva Un Paesaggio
«Roma moderna e contemporanea», XIV, 2006, 1-3, pp. 343-380 ©2007 Università Roma Tre-CROMA TRA TESTACCIO E L’OSTIENSE I SEGNI DI ROMA PRODUTTIVA UN PAESAGGIO URBANO E UN PATRIMONIO CULTURALE PER LA CITTÀ 1. Da oltre un decennio l’area del Testaccio-Ostiense è uno straordinario labora- torio di trasformazioni urbane, un’area strategica per lo sviluppo e la modernizzazio- ne di Roma nel XXI secolo ed anche un terreno di riflessione culturale e progettuale particolarmente impegnativo. Si tratta, infatti, di un’area di grande pregio per la sua posizione strategica (fig. 1) – collocata a cavallo delle Mura Aureliane, a ridosso del centro storico (distante dal Campidoglio tra 1,5 e 4,5 Km), e lungo un asse dire- zionale verso l’EUR e verso il mare che è ancora oggi cruciale per lo sviluppo della città contemporanea –, per le peculiarità ambientali – accarezzata in tutta la sua proiezione dal Tevere e lambita dal Parco dell’Appia –, per uno straordinario pae- saggio urbano che vede accanto a grandi topos della città antica (il Monte Testaccio, la Piramide), di quella paleocristiana (la Basilica di San Paolo fuori le mura), di quella contemporanea (il Cimitero acattolico e Porta San Paolo) i segni di una Roma produttiva che è stata protagonista nel processo di modernizzazione della città nel primo cinquantennio post-unitario. Siamo cioè di fronte a un territorio che contiene profili storici e paesaggistici di rilevante interesse1, tali da creare nell’insieme – oltre che in numerose singole emergenze, peraltro censite, descritte e cartografate dalla Sovraintendenza ai beni culturali del Comune di Roma2 – un importante patrimo- nio culturale per la città. -
Two Must-Visit Tourist-Free Neighborhoods in Rome - Vogue
8/1/2018 Two Must-Visit Tourist-Free Neighborhoods in Rome - Vogue LIVING > TRAVEL Two Must-Visit Tourist-Free Neighborhoods in Rome AUGUST 10, 2017 3:00 PM by MONA GABLE Photo: Alamy f i There is so much to see in the Eternal City—the history so vast, the traffic so crazy, the food so enticing—that it’s tempting to do what’s easy and stay in a well-trod neighborhood steps from the Forum or the Trevi Fountain. and legions of tourists. But then you’d be missing the flavor of Rome, with all its messiness, beauty, and surprise. For a more authentic experience, plunk down in one of Rome’s less-frequented neighborhoods and savor the local culture, and then venture out from there. https://www.vogue.com/article/rome-tourist-free-neighborhood-guide-monti-testaccio 1/5 8/1/2018 Two Must-Visit Tourist-Free Neighborhoods in Rome - Vogue A street in Monti rione in Rome f i Photo: Alamy MontiTucked in the hills above the Forum, Monti is one of Rome’s oldest and most colorful neighborhoods. And most importantly, still largely free of tourists. Centuries ago, this working-class enclave—one of Rome’s 22 neighborhoods, or rioni, was notorious for its brothels and shady characters. Today its pretty cobblestone streets are packed with young people in jeans, old men in suits, vendors selling flowers, and families who’ve lived in Monti for generations. Monti is so lovely, with its jasmine-draped, gold and apricot apartment buildings, that Woody Allen apparently filmed on a corner of Via Baccina. -

Clst 334R: Introduction to Classical Archaeology in Rome and Italy
Loyola University Chicago John Felice Rome Center ClSt 334R: Introduction to Classical Archaeology in Rome and Italy Tuesdays 9:00 AM—12:00 PM JFRC + ON-SITE Instructor: Albert Prieto, M.Litt, PhD (Classics, History, Archaeology), [email protected] Office hours (faculty office): Tuesdays/Thursdays 3:00-3:30 and by appointment Introduction and Course Description What field allows you to study artifacts made by people 2000 years ago, read timeless literature, uncover and study ancient ruins in the open air while developing muscle tone and a tan, discover what ancient people ate and what diseases they had, reconstruct ancient religious beliefs, employ advanced digital technology to “see” what’s under the ground without digging, use a VR headset to immerse yourself in a reconstructed ancient setting, fly a drone, and ponder the Earth’s surface from the air or space? The answer is classical, or Greco-Roman, archaeology. This course introduces you to the surprisingly wide, often weird, and occasionally whimsical world of archaeology in Rome and Italy. We will start at the very beginning of the archaeological process, learning who the Romans were, how their society evolved historically, what kinds of tangible and intangible cultural assets they created, what happened to those assets after the inevitable collapse of the Roman Empire, and how centuries later people began the slow and steady process of reconstructing an accurate picture of a “lost” civilization from the many types of evidence left behind. Mention “archaeology,” and the first thing that invariably comes to mind is excavation: indeed, we will learn what modern archaeological excavation is (as opposed to digging for treasure) and what kinds of information it can retrieve for us. -

Best of Rome 2020 Preview
Welcome to Rome An intoxicating cocktail of haunting ruins, iconic monuments, awe-inspiring art and vibrant street life, Italy’s hot-blooded capital is one of the world’s most charis- matic cities. It’s la dolce vita (the sweet life) at its Italian best. Rome’s historic cityscape, the result of 3000 years of ad hoc urban development, is an exhilarating spectacle. Ancient icons such as the Colosseum, ROME Roman Forum and Pantheon recall its golden age as TOP SIGHTS, AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCES caput mundi (capital of the world), while barn- storming basilicas testify to its historical role as seat of the Catholic Church. The city’s artistic heritage is also astonishing. Throughout history, Rome has starred in the great upheavals of Western art, drawing the top artists of the day and inspiring them to push the boundaries of creative achievement. The result is a city awash with priceless treasures. Ancient statues adorn world-class museums; Byzantine mosaics and Renaissance frescoes dazzle in art-rich churches; and baroque fountains embellish medieval piazzas. Walk around the centre and without even trying you’ll come across masterpieces by the likes of Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Raphael and Bernini. But a trip to Rome is as much about lapping up the local lifestyle as feasting on art and culture. Whiling away hours on a sun-baked cafe terrace, getting lost in backstreet alleys and hidden piazzas, indulging in sunset aperitivi (evening drinks) in on-trend cocktail bars, dining after dark in raucous neighbourhood trattorias – all this, too, is part and parcel of the exquisite Roman experience. -

ROME THE WORLD’S CHANGED. Technology now enables us to do so much more, but we can’t forget what it is that inspires us to explore. Whilst celebrating how wonderful technology is, it’s also good to lift your eyes away from the screen and truly get under the skin of a place, seeing it through the eyes of a local. ENCOURAGING CONVERSATIONS, AND DISCOVERING WHERE THEY WILL TAKE YOU. ROME Our fifth installment takes you to the beautiful streets of Rome. Experience our own recommendations, whilst starting the conversation and discovering your own favourite hot spots. Italy FCO Italian EUR +39 Where’s the best place to see the whole city? 1 West of the Tiber, rising above the Trastavere district south of Vatican City, the best panoramic views of the city can be found on Gianicolo (Janiculum) Hill, sweeping across the Roman rooftops from the beautiful Borghese complex to the curving Colosseum. Ask a passing couple where their favourite bar in Trastavere is, and make your way down. Passeggiata del Gianicolo Trastavere Ottoviano Where’s the best place to drink in the views? 2 The luxurious Grand Hotel de la Minerve is home to the Minerva Roof Garden, an exclusive restaurant that also serves up incredible views. Ask your waiter what that beautiful domed building in the distance is (take your pick; there are several) and plan to make your way there tomorrow. Piazza della Minerva 69 Pigna Colosseo Where’s the best place to take a stroll? 3 The Centro Storico can be surprisingly steep, so take this downhill route: start at Piazza del Popolo, checking out the Villa Borghese before making your way down towards the Spanish Steps. -
Simulation of Urban Development in the City of Rome Framework, Methodology, and Problem Solving
http://jtlu.org . 3 . 2 [Summer 2010] pp. 85–105 doi: 10.5198/jtlu.v3i2.154 Simulation of urban development in the City of Rome Framework, methodology, and problem solving Simone Di Zio Armando Montanari Chieti-Pescara G. d’Annunzio University a Rome Sapienza University b Barbara Staniscia Rome Sapienza University c Abstract: In Italy’s case, the implementation of the UrbanSIM model involved the territory of Rome, including the municipalities of Rome and Fiumicino. e main goal was to build scenarios regarding the future of economic deconcentration. Rome is the largest municipality in Europe, with an inhabited surface area only slightly smaller than that of Greater London and almost double that of the inner Paris suburbs (the Petite Couronne). e spatial distribution of buildings within the municipality is distinctive. Unbuilt areas comprise 73 percent of the territory. ese voids are oen farmland (paradoxically, Rome is the largest rural municipality in Italy) or areas with high environmental, historic or cultural value. Fiumicino, previously part of the municipality of Rome, became an independent municipality in 1991. Its autonomy, made all the more signicant because Fiumicino hosts the international airport, marked the start of an extensive process of economic deconcentration along the route connecting Rome to the airport. In Italy’s case, the implementation of the UrbanSIM model posed several challenges, notably the availability, homogeneity and completeness of data. is paper uses four specic cases (land use, travel times, accessibility, and residential land values) to propose a general methodology to solve problems related to missing or non-homogeneous data. For the land use, we simply combine two different land use data sources, while for accessibility and travel time data, we propose the use of geostatistical methods in order to estimate missing and unavailable data, calculating also the accuracy of the predictions. -
