  • Elilla: City of Citadels
    Melilla: City Of Citadels “The sky saved me. If this land’s paths you know not, then by chance you found me; for I am off to Melilla.” ELILLA Juan Ruíz de Alarcón M O n the eastern part of the Moroccan Rif mountain chain, on the And Its Parador Mediterranean shores, on Africa’s frontier, Melilla gazes over to the Spanish coast. Some of the world’s first hominids walked here. Northern Africa was once a humid place. Hippopotami, rhinoceroses, elephants, and giraffes inhabited its forests and savannahs. Here those “pre-Neanderthal” races, whose culture and technology’s traces are still preserved in Casablanca, Rabat, and Tangiers, first evolved. The climate’s sudden change to a drier one caused an abrupt change in the ecosystem. Northern Africa remained isolated between the sea and the Sahara desert. Melilla’s most ancient settlements go back to that time, found in the immediate vicinities of Mt. Gurugú. Neolithic remains are found a little further on, at about 30 km. from the city, on Punta Negri. The Phoenicians, according to Homer, were that Mediterranean mercantile people intent on trading and plundering the islands’ towns, who first inaugurated the existence of Melilla. They brought the alphabet, wine, cedars, art of navigation...and they in turn came for the metals they found. The Phoenicians, called so due to the color purple that colored their robes, began colonizing the Mediterranean coasts, hailing from their homeland Phoenicia, in modern-day Lebanon, throughout the centuries between the year 1200 and 332 BCE. Until then, this ancient Semitic people expanded its maritime commerce by means of sturdy ships, from coast to coast, founding factories and colonies.

    LAMBAESIS TO THE REIGN OF HADRIAN By DIANE MARIE HOPPER EVERMAN " Bachelor of Arts Oklahoma State University Stillwater, Oklahoma December, 1977 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS July 25, 1980 -n , ,111e.5J s LAMBAESIS TO THE REIGN OF HADRIAN Thesis Approved: Dean of the Graduate College ii 10S2909 PREFACE Lambaesis was a Roman Imperial military fortress in North Africa in the modern-day nation of Algeria. Rome originally acquired the territory as a result of the defeat of Carthage in the Punic Wars. Expansion of territory and settlement of surplus population were two ideas behind its Romanization. However, North Africa's greatest asset for becoming a province was its large yield of grain. This province furnished most of the wheat for the empire. If something happened to hinder its annual production level then Rome and its provinces would face famine. Unlike most instances of acquiring territory Rome did not try to assimilate the native transhumant population. Instead these inhabitants held on to their ancestral lands until they were forcibly removed. This territory was the most agriculturally productive; unfortunately, it was also the area of seasonal migration for the native people. Lambaesis is important in this scheme because it was the base of the solitary legion in North Africa, the III Legio Augusta. After beginning in the eastern section of the province just north of the Aures Mountains the legion gradually moved west leaving a peaceful area behind. The site of Lambaesis was the III Legio Augusta's westernmost fortress.

  • Melilla Púnica Y Romana
    544 BOLETÍN DE LA REAL ACADEMIA DE LA HISTORLA II MELILLA PÚNICA Y ROMANA La suma importancia y rápido acrecentamiento actual de Me­ jilla, centro de la influencia española en el Rif Marroquí, nos hace esperar que su antiquísima historia no tardará en revelar­ se á la investigación técnica y científica de sus monumentos. Nuestro sabio compañero D. Antonio Blázquez, reseñó, no ha mucho (i), con su habitual competencia, las inscripciones roma­ nas y griegas de la Tingitanía; pero ni Ceuta, ni Melilla, en tan dilatado campo de cosecha epigráfica, se nombran. El mismo Académico, teniendo en cuenta la medición de las millas, acertó á demostrar que á Melilla corresponde la estación que en el Iti­ nerario de Antonino, cuando alboreaba el siglo ni de la Era cris- tiana, se denomina Rusadder colonia (2). A mediados del si­ glo ii, algo antes, hacía mención de ella Ptolomeo, llamándola 'PouaaáSecoov; y poco antes que en el año 7° Flavio Vespasiano la hiciese colonia romana, Piinio había dado á conocer su forta­ leza y puerto: Rusadir oppidwn et por tus. Consta además que, lo mismo que Larache, Tánger y Cher­ chen y varias ciudades del litoral bético desde Adra hasta Cádiz, acuñó moneda con leyenda púnica. Un ejemplar de esta mone­ da, de mediano bronce, hallado en Cherchell, existe en el Gabi­ nete Real de Copenhague. La acuñación de semejantes monedas autónomas se abolió imperando Calígula, y por lo tanto sabemos que Melilla estuvo poblada y era floreciente municipio antes del año 42, en el cual el emperador Claudio romanizó completamen­ te la Tingitania, la que, á partir del año 25 antes de J.

    International Cartographic Association Commission on Cartographic Heritage into the Digital 14th ICA Conference Digital Approaches to Cartographic Heritage Conference Proceedings ISSN XXXX-XXXX - Thessaloniki, Greece, 8-10 May 2019 _____________________________________________________________________________________ Lyudmila Filatova1, Dmitri Gusev2, Sergey Stafeyev3 Iterative Reconstruction of Ptolemy’s West Africa Using Modern GIS Analysis Keywords: Claudius Ptolemy, ancient geography, GIS analysis, historical cartography, georeferencing Summary: The multifaceted and challenging problem of reconstructing Claudius Ptolemy’s map of ancient West Africa from the numeric coordinate data and other information found in his seminal ‘Geography’ and visualizing the results in modern projections using popular and powerful GIS tools, such as ArcGIS and Google Earth, is addressed by the authors iteratively. We apply a combination of several old and new techniques ranging from tradi- tional toponymic analysis to novel modifications of cluster analysis. Our hybrid human- machine method demonstrates that Ptolemy’s information on West Africa is a compilation of data from three or more sources, including at least one version or derivative of The Periplus of Hanno. The newest iteration adds data for three more provinces of Ptolemy’s Libya — Mauretania Caesariensis, Africa and Aethiopia Interior— to Mauretania Tingitana and Libya Interior investigated in an earlier, unpublished version of the work that the late Lyudmila Filatova had contributed to as the founder of our multi-year project. The surviv- ing co-authors used their newest digital analysis methods (triangulation and flocking with Bayesian correction) and took into account their recent finds on Ptolemy’s Sinae (Guinea/Senegal, where Ptolemy had placed fish-eating Aethiopians). We discuss some of the weaknesses and fallacies of the earlier approaches to the problem.
