Babesch Nieuw Nummer Leeg BABESCH 89 (2014), 27-46. doi: 10.2143/BAB.89.0.3034668 The Pontine Marshes (Central Italy): a case study in wetland historical ecology Kevin Walsh, Peter Attema, Tymon de Haas Abstract The citation of natural environmental processes as a key element in the formation of and changes in human cul- ture has been unfashionable for some time. Whilst scepticism of certain unfettered cultural ecological or socio- ecological theories is understandable, archaeologists often fail to engage fully with the dynamic relationships between people and environment in the past. This paper provides a new assessment of the potential of more nuanced cultural and historical ecological frameworks that explicitly develop notions of environmental knowl- edge in the investigation of human engagements with the environment. More specifically, this contribution con- siders the development of the forms of environmental knowledge associated with a Roman wetland, the Pontine Marshes. Changes in settlement activity and practices in this central Italian wetland landscape close to Rome were the product of a complex interplay of elite political initiatives and management projects and local forms of environmental knowledge applied by ordinary people who had to engage with this landscape. The paper com- prises an introduction to the research questions and the interpretive framework, followed by an assessment of documentary and recent archaeological research that serve to illustrate the development of human interaction with these marshes. The discussion considers the probable reasons for the waxing and waning of wetland activ- ity, and the nature of different class-based understandings of the wetland during the Roman period.* Key-words Historical ecology, Mediterranean, wetlands, Pontine Marshes, landscape archaeology, diachronic, Roman period.

The Circeo National Park lies in a territory that was deeply shaped by human activity, and represents one of the few remaining patches of plain wetland habitat in Central Italy. In this study distribution and few demographic information of the amphibians in the Park were provided. Seven species and 25 bibliographic and 84 original breeding sites were recorded, and population size estimations were carried out for a population of these three species: Pelophylax sinkl esculentus, Bufo balearicus and Rana dalmatina. For the studied populations of pool frog and green toad the oper- ational sex ratio and the demographic effective population size was also estimated. For Rana dalmatina, which is strictly associated to forest environment, a positive and significant correlation between the number of egg clutches and maxi- mum depth of the swamps was found. The State plain forest is the most important habitat for amphibians’ conservation in the park. The occurrence of dangerous alien species was investigated and they are evaluated as the major threat for amphibians in the park, especially the crayfish Procambarus clarkii in the State plain forest.

  • The New Garden: Histories of the Garden of Ninfa
    The New Garden or Histories of the Garden of Ninfa Healy Knight 4/22/20 Prologue On the bank of a small lake in the Pontine Marshes in the foothills of the Monti Lepini, the ruined walls of a medieval church stand apart like a set of ribs buried in the dirt. The church no longer has its vaulted ceiling or delicate stained-glass windows or rows of wooden pews; it is now an open air, nearly borderless temple occupied by a display of cypress trees, moss, lichen, roses and ivy. All that remain are these two walls – the back of the church, concave and settled in a dense bed of grass, and the front of the church, now doorless with a rope strung through it to keep visitors from crossing its threshold. This is the Church of the Santa Maria Maggiore, and it stands in the Caetani family’s Garden of Ninfa. This is a story of histories – ecological, fictional, chronological, mythological – that a single place holds in its ecologies, its ruins and in the residue of memory. This is the story of networks of water, roses, stones and roots. Some elements are imagined, others are indisputable, all of it is, I’ve decided, truthful. This is the story of a garden. _________________________ One very early May morning in 1964, Leila Caetani-Howard decided it was time to stop pretending to sleep and go for a morning swim. It was the last few hours before the garden would reopen to visitors after months of a restful, quiet off-season.

The Power of Images in the Age of Mussolini Abstract The year 1937 marked the bimillenary of the birth of Augustus. With characteristic pomp and vigor, Benito Mussolini undertook numerous initiatives keyed to the occasion, including the opening of the Mostra Augustea della Romanità , the restoration of the Ara Pacis , and the reconstruction of Piazza Augusto Imperatore. New excavation campaigns were inaugurated at Augustan sites throughout the peninsula, while the state issued a series of commemorative stamps and medallions focused on ancient Rome. In the same year, Mussolini inaugurated an impressive square named Forum Imperii, situated within the Foro Mussolini - known today as the Foro Italico, in celebration of the first anniversary of his Ethiopian conquest. The Forum Imperii's decorative program included large-scale black and white figural mosaics flanked by rows of marble blocks; each of these featured inscriptions boasting about key events in the regime's history. This work examines the iconography of the Forum Imperii's mosaic decorative program and situates these visual statements into a broader discourse that encompasses the panorama of images that circulated in abundance throughout Italy and its colonies.

  • The Romans & Their Roads
    Pave Israel 96 THE, ROMANS AND THEIR ROADS THE ORIGINAL SMALL ELEMENT PAVEMENT TECHNOLOGISTS J. Knapton University of New Castle Newcastle upon Tyne. UK 1 Introduction French lawyer Bergier published the first work on Roman roads in 162210 having discovered the remains of Roman roads near Rheims. He was so taken with his finds that he began to investigate classical literature and monuments. Bergier's work influenced 17th and 18th century French roadbuilding which in turn influenced British roadbuilders Metcalf, MacAdam and Telford who adopted a scientific approach in developing road construction techniques in the 19th century which are essentially unchanged today. For this reason, an understanding of Roman road engineering is crucial in understanding how present day UK road construction technology evolved. The introduction of flexibly bedded pavers as a road surfacing material during the second half of the 20th century coupled with the rediscovery of Roman roadbuilding during the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries has brought us to a point where it is more important than ever to look back at how, where, why and by whom Romans roads were built. 17 2 The Peoples ofItaly Roman roads comprised a crucial part of the development of Roman civilisation and it may be no exaggeration to state that the Roman Empire comprised a network of roads unifYing many disparate cultures from Newcastle to North Africa, from Portugal to Arabia. Indeed, one theory has it that the location of. Rome is at the cross-roads of two pre Roman roads - the Via Salaria (,The Salt Way') and the Via Latina3 The Via Salaria followed the course of the Tiber into the central Italian mountains and was originally built in pre-Roman times to transport rock salt quarried in the mountains to the centres of population near the coast.

An important source is, however, often overlooked: contemporary written accounts of eye-witnesses of these landscape types. Written records are generally considered to belong to the realms of linguistics, literature, history and theology, which often prevents them to be interpreted using the most recent insights of biology, (palaeo)ecology and earth sciences.

  • A Loyola Rome Student's Guide to World War Ii in Rome
    A LOYOLA ROME STUDENT’S GUIDE TO WORLD WAR II IN ROME & ITALY By Philip R. O’Connor, Ph.D. Loyola University Rome Center 1968-69 DOWNLOADABLE VERSION AVAILABLE PLEASE DIRECT COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS TO [email protected] Tenth Edition – September 2015 LOYOLA ROME STUDENT’S GUIDE TO WORLD WAR II IN ROME & ITALY DEDICATION & ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This Guide to World War II in Italy and Rome is dedicated to those who served the Allied cause in the Italian War of Liberation 1943-45. Of special remembrance are the five Loyolans who, in the words of Abraham Lincoln, “gave the last full measure of devotion” on Italian soil: John J. Burke, John L. Carmody, Kenneth E. Krucks, Thomas A. McKitrick and Dean P. Reinert. John Felice, founder and guiding light of the Loyola Rome Center for thirty years and whose name was given to the Campus in 2004, was an intelligence officer in the British Eighth Army seconded to the American 12 th Air Force, 47 th Bombardment Group (Light) in preparation for the invasions of Sicily and the Italian mainland. John, who first inspired this Guide, passed away in January 2008, having lived the life of a great man. Another who served was the author’s uncle, Edward O’Connor. He followed his older brother, the author’s father, Philip J., into the U.S. Navy. Philip served in the South Pacific while Ed crewed in a 5-inch gun aboard the light cruiser USS Philadelphia . Before his nineteenth birthday, Eddie O’Connor participated in the invasion of Sicily, the landing at Salerno, the sbarco at Anzio-Nettuno followed by four months of daily missions from Naples to shell German forces besieging the beachhead, and the invasion of Southern France.
