  • Les Celtes Sous Le Regard Des Grecs Et Des Latins
    LA VOCATION DE L’ARBRE D’OR est de partager ses admirations avec les lecteurs, son admiration pour les grands textes nourrissants du passé et celle aussi pour l’œuvre de contem- porains majeurs qui seront probablement davantage appréciés demain qu’aujourd’hui. Trop d’ouvrages essentiels à la culture de l’âme ou de l’identité de cha- cun sont aujourd’hui indisponibles dans un marché du livre transformé en industrie lourde. Et quand par chance ils sont disponibles, c’est finan- cièrement que trop souvent ils deviennent inaccessibles. La belle littérature, les outils de développement personnel, d’identité et de progrès, on les trouvera donc au catalogue de l’Arbre d’Or à des prix résolument bas pour la qualité offerte.

  • Celtic Genius
    2 THE HISTORY OF CIVILIZATION General Editor C. K. Ogden The History of Civilization is a landmark in early twentieth Century publishing. The aim of the general editor, C. K. Ogden, was to “summarise in one comprehensive synthesis the most recent findings and theories of historians, anthropologists, archaeologists, sociologists and all conscientious students of civilization.” The History, which includes titles in the French series L’Evolution de l’Humanité, was published at a formative time in the development of the social sciences, and during a period of significant historical discoveries. A list of the titles in the series can be found at the end of this book. 3 4 First published in 1934 by Routledge, Trench, Trubner Reprinted in 1996,1999 by Routledge 2 Park Square, Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon, OX14 4RN & 711 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10017 Routledge is an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group, an informa business First issued in paperback 2013 Transferred to Digital Printing 2008 © 1996 Routledge All rights reserved.

  • Map 39 Mediolanum Compiled by M
    Map 39 Mediolanum Compiled by M. Pearce and P. Tozzi, 1997 Introduction The compilation of the map posed a number of problems, many of which also affect Map 40. In both cases we found the maps compiled by P. Fraccaro (in Baratta 1938) an important starting-point. He had produced a map of centuriation in Italy for the 1937 Bimillenary of Augustus exhibition in Rome, and was able to draw on this for northern Italy in particular. Otherwise he followed Kiepert’s FOA closely, although his collaboration with Maratta, an eminent geographer, greatly enriched his compilations. Our debt to him is considerable, since he has been a useful measure against which to test ideas and solutions to many thorny problems. It was also possible to consult his unpublished maps and notes held at Pavia University; these were particularly valuable for the reconstruction of centuriation. As with Map 40, we have retained the modern courses of the rivers in the Po plain except where firm evidence exists for the Roman period. Many of the water-courses in the plain south of the Po–and indeed the Po itself–have frequently migrated, and much important work has been done recently on these problems by Dall’Aglio and others. Similarly, we have not felt sure enough to follow some recent hypotheses about changes in prealpine lake levels, although it should be borne in mind that the level of Lake Como, for example, has certainly oscillated quite dramatically through time. Duality of river names, noted again in the introduction to Map 40, may be found in the two rivers called Duria (A2 and B3), and in the suggestion, derived from Fraccaro (1957, 125-26), that the ancient name Iria refers both to the modern Scrivia and to the Staffora.

  • Il Piemonte Celtico
    IL PIEMONTE CELTICO Il Piemonte ha sempre costituito un luogo ambito per l’insediamento umano, a partire dalla “cultura di Canegrate” XIII sec. a.C., popolato da genti di stirpe protoceltica come Lepontii e Liguri. Prima di essere occupato, seppur gradualmente, dalle legioni romane il territorio corrispondente all’attuale regione subalpina, era popolato da due etnie in una forma che possiamo definire celto-ligure. A causa di una scarsa ( o forse perduta…) documentazione e per l’incapacità degli storici antichi ( e moderni!), è problematico oggi reperire informazioni certe riguardo sul come e quando avvenne il mescolamento e l’assimilazione fra le due culture; si può supporre che con l’arrivo massiccio dei Celti, intorno al IV secolo, la forma tipica della seconda età del ferro si diffuse rapidamente anche presso le popolazioni autoctone, unificando usi, costumi, tradizioni, lingua e pratiche religiose, creando quindi un sostrato omogeneo. I Liguri, la più grande e diffusa etnia dell’epoca (occupavano quasi tutto il territorio piemontese, parte della Lombardia e la fascia costiera dall’attuale Versilia sino alla Catalogna), in seguito alla massiccia immigrazione celtica pur integrandosi con i nuovi venuti, concentrarono la loro presenza al di là della Dora Baltea e a sud del Po. Le popolazioni, ad aggregazione prevalentemente tribale, erano numerose e presentavano caratteri di specificità. Fra esse ricordiamo quelle che si distinsero maggiormente: i Salassi , che occupavano l’alto Canavese e la Valle d’Aosta; i Sallui nel vercellese, i Vertacomacori nel novarese, i Taurini nella provincia di Torino, gli Statielli nella zona di Acqui Terme della Valle Bormida e parte della Valle Belbo; i Marici nell’alessandrino fino alla Lomellina, i Bagienni fra Mondovì e Cuneo, gli Eburiati nella Valle del Tanaro fra Asti e Alba; gli Epanteri tra Bra e Carmagnola, i Caburri tra la Val Pellice e la piana del Po, i Graioceli nella Valle di Lanzo; i Laevi fra Chivasso e Trino vercellese ed infine i Vittimuli nella zona attorno alla serra fra Ivrea e Biella.

In the representation of Ancient Geography there is this disadvantage, that we use authorities, m many cases incomplete and mutilated in themselves, treating of subjects which frequently were very imperfectly known to their authors. It is true that very often the ancient writings are so lucid and explicit that we are compelled to acknowledge our inferiority in knowledge, and modern enterprise is continually re-discovering (so to speak) that which was perfectly familiar in the early ages ; and although, in many instances, we are enabled to follow their narratives and descriptions even to the most minute particulars, and apply them to existing facts ; yet, to make a complete picture of the countries av tnu period, we are compelled to fill up many vacancies, and supply many features from less clear and correct sources.

  • The Greatness and Decline of the Celts
    THE GREATNESS AND DECLINE OF THE CELTS PART ONE CELTIC EXPANSION IN THE LA TÈNE PERIOD CHAPTER I THE CELTS IN ITALY III HOW THE GAULS ENTERED ITALY The Gauls came in, according to Livy, [Livy, v, 34 - 5. Cf. Homo, CCCXLI, English, pp. 165 ff.; Jullian, CCCXLVII, i, pp. 289 ff.] in several bands, crossing the Alps in succession or by different routes. Bellovesus, who, according to the same author, directed the whole venture, had with him only the Insubres. [Livy, v, 34, 9.] They arrived first. When their movement had been accomplished, a force of the Cenomani under a leader named Elitovius [Livy, v, 35, 1.] followed them by the same pass, and Bellovesus assisted them on the way down. Livy then mentions, in vague terms, an advance on the part of the Libui and the Salluvii, [Livy, v, 35, 2.] but it is doubtful whether they arrived so early. The Boii and Lingones came over together by the Pennine Alps, that is by the Simplon or the St. Gothard, and, passing the first two bodies hustled the Etruscans and Umbrians on the other side of the Po. The Senones arrived last and, passing the leading bodies in the same manner, provided the army of about thirty thousand men which crossed the Apennines and took Rome. Livy does not assert this positively; he says that he believes it. [Livy, v, 35, 2 - 3.] To transport over the Alps, without any scientific disposition of supply-posts, a mass of men large enough to form a whole nation, with women and children, flocks and herds, a great number of chariots, and an indefinitely large train of very primitive little waggons and pack-animals, was an extremely difficult undertaking.

Indice: 5 Le origini 6 Il Leponzio: Il primo alfebato nazionale della Padania 1 Piva, musa, baghèt: la cornamusa padana Piva, musa, baghèt: la cornamusa padana Upopolare. In questo caso, veramente lo spartiacque appenninico è la linea arcana di separazione fra tradizioni che fanno capo a civiltà diverse. Al di sopra di questa linea - che, guardacaso, coincide quasi perfettamente con quella di separazione linguistica - le origini più remote della vicenda artistica musicale sono da ricercarsi nel substrato celtico comune a gran parte dell’Europa occidentale, sia per il tipo degli strumenti impiegati, che per le forme musicali prodotte, e questa matrice si è in qualche modo mantenuta per tutto il Medioevo e l’Età Moderna per arrivare quasi ai giorni nostri. In questo articolo tratteremo di uno degli strumenti musicali più caratteristici della nostra tradizione, vale a dire della piva, ovvero la versione padana della cornamusa diffusa in tutta l’area celtica.
