  • Cgpt1; MAGNA GERMANIA; CLAUDIUS PTOLEMY BOOK 2, CHAPTER 10; FACT OR FICTION
    cgPt1; MAGNA GERMANIA; CLAUDIUS PTOLEMY BOOK 2, CHAPTER 10; FACT OR FICTION SYNOPSIS The locations of some +8000 settlements and geographical features are included within the text of Claudius Ptolemy‟s „Geographia‟. To control the text and ensure readers understood the methodology there-in utilised it is evident that Claudius Ptolemy determined a strict order and utilisation of the information he wished to disseminate. That strict methodology is maintained through the first 9 chapters of Book 2, but the 10th chapter breaks all of the rules that had been established. Chapters 11 to 15 then return to the established pattern. Magna Germania was basically unknown territory and in such a situation Claudius Ptolemy was able to ignore any necessity to guess thus leaving an empty landscape as is evinced in Book 3, chapter 5, Sarmatian Europe. Why in an unknown land there are 94 settlements indicated in Germania when the 3 provinces of Gallia have only a total of 114 settlements, is a mystery? And, why does Claudius Ptolemy not attribute a single settlement to a tribal group? It appears there are other factors at play, which require to be investigated. BASIC PTOLEMY When analysing a map drawn from the data provided by Claudius Ptolemy it is first necessary to ensure that it is segregated into categories. Those are; 1) reliable information i.e. probably provided via the Roman Army Cosmographers and Geometres; 2) the former information confirmed or augmented by various itineraries or from Bematists; 3) the possibility of latitudinal measurements from various settlements (gnomon ratios); 4) basic travellers tales with confirmed distances „a pied‟; 5) basic sailing distances along coastlines and those which can be matched to land distances; 6) guesses made by travellers who did not actually record the days travelled but only the length of time for the overall journey; 7) obscure references from ancient texts which cannot be corroborated.

  • Cultural Imprinting: Ancient Origins of Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Germany
    Cultural Imprinting: Ancient Origins of Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Germany Michael Fritsch | Martin Obschonka | Fabian Wahl | Michael Wyrwich JENA ECONOMIC RESEARCH PAPERS · # 2021-012 The JENA ECONOMIC RESEARCH PAPERS is a publication of the Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Germany (www.jenecon.de). Jena Economic Research Papers # 2021 - 012 1 Cultural Imprinting: Ancient Origins of Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Germany Michael Fritscha, Martin Obschonkab, Fabian Wahlc and Michael Wyrwichd August 2021 Abstract A region’s present-day economic performance can be deeply anchored in historical factors. We provide the first systematic evidence of a deep imprinting effect in the context of Roman rule in the south-western part of Germany nearly 2,000 years ago. Our analysis reveals that regions in the former Roman part of Germany show a stronger entrepreneurship and innovation culture today, evident by higher levels of quantity and quality entrepreneurship and innovation. The data indicate that this lasting ‘Roman effect’ was constituted by the early establishment of interregional social and economic exchange and related infrastructure. Our findings thus help in unpacking the hidden cultural roots of present-day economic performance, with important implications for research and economic policy.

Drawing on spatially highly disaggregated data on excavated Roman ceramics, we document that interregional trade was strongly influenced by connectivity within the network. Today, these connectivity differentials continue to influence cross-regional firm investment behaviour. Continuity is largely explained by selective infrastructure routing and cultural integration due to bilateral convergence in preferences and values. Both plausibly arise from network-induced history of repeated socio- economic interaction. We show that our results are Roman-connectivity specific and do not reflect pre-existing patterns of exchange. JEL-Codes: F140, F150, F210, N730, R120, R400, O180. Keywords: economic integration, Roman trade, transport network connectivity, business links, cultural similarity.

(27 B.C.-ISO A.D.} By J. B. BURY, M.A., PROPBSSOB OJ' IlODBBN HJSTORY, TRINITY COLLEGE. DUBLIN. SEOOND EDITION, REVISED. LONDON: JOHN MURRAY, ALBEMARLE STREET. 1896. LONDON: PRINTED BY WJLLlAIl CLOWES AND SONS; t.UIITED, BTAKFOBD STREET AND CIIAlUNG CROss.. PREFACE. IQI IT is well known that for the period of Roman history, which is of all its periods perhaps the most important-the first two centuries of the Empire-there exists no English handbook suitable for use in Universities and Schools. The consequence of this want in our educational course is that the knowledge of Roman history possessed by students, who are otherwise men of considerable attainments in classical literature, comes to a sudden end at the Battle of Actium. At least, their systematic knowledge ends there; of the subsequent history they know only isolated facts gathered at haphazard from Horace, J uvenal and Tacitus.. This much-felt need will, it is hoped, be met by the present volume, which bridges the gap between the Student's ROlne and the Student's Gibbon. This work has been written directly from the original sources. But it is almost unnecessary t(} say that the author is under deep obligations to many modern guides. He is indebted above all to Mommsen's Romiscl.es Staats­ recht, and to the fifth volume of the same historian's ROlniscl.e GescMchte. He must also acknowledge the constant aid which he has aerived from Merivale's History of tl.e Romans under the Empire, Schiller's Gescltichte der rQmiscl.en Kaiserzeit, and Herzog's Gescltichte und System der romiscl.en Staatsverfassung.

  • What Was the Roman Limes?
    WHAT WAS THE ROMAN LIMES? I have always been interested in the history of the ancient Roman Empire and its military expansion into Western Europe especially into Germany, France and England. At its maximum military expansion during the reign of Trajan (98-117AD) it controlled a huge area of conquered land extending counterclockwise from England to Spain to North Africa, to Egypt, to Jordan, to the Black Sea, to the Balkans, and to Southern Germany. Here is a map of the Empire at its maximum extent- The Romans were able to conquer all this land with an army of only about a quarter million men consisting of some fifty legions of approximately 5000 soldiers each. This army was aided by mercenaries from the conquered countries. One of the most difficult areas to hold was the region to the right of the Rhine and north of the Danube in present day Germany. Early attempts of a conquest of the Barbarians in central and north Germany met with disaster including the complete annihilation of three Roman Legions under Varus by Arminius(Hermann) at the Battle of the Teutoburg Forerst in 9AD. Although the Romans had later victories in these German held lands, they found it more practical to stay mostly west of the Rhine and south of the Danube. To hold onto the conquered lands between Cologne on the Rhine and Regensburg on the Danube they decided to build a 500km long defensive wall between Cologne(Colonia) and Regensburg (Castra Regina). This wall became known as the Limes Germanicus. It was heavily fortified by forts spread evenly along its length.

  • THE WINCHESTER of ALFRED the GREAT and the HAITHABU of HIS VOYAGER, WULFSTAN: ARE THEY SEPARATED by 700 YEARS? [Corrected Version
    1 Gunnar Heinsohn (14-12-2014) THE WINCHESTER OF ALFRED THE GREAT AND THE HAITHABU OF HIS VOYAGER, WULFSTAN: ARE THEY SEPARATED BY 700 YEARS? [Corrected version. Summary: p. 16]1 Southern England in the time of ALFRED THE GREAT OF WESSEX (871-899 CE) with his capital WINCHESTER (VENTA BELGARUM). The Romans called the southern coast SAXON SHORE (Litus Saxonicum). It was under the command of a Comes Litoris Saxonici per Britanniam. Modern scholars derive the name from Saxon attacks directed against that shore. The author, however, explains the name as SHORE OF SAXON LANDS in Southern England where Germanic tribes had already been present when Rome started the conquest of Britain between Caeasar and Claudius (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:England_878.svg; see also p. 7 below). 1 Thanks for editorial assistance go to Clark Whelton / New York. 2 According to a report published together with Alfred the Great’s (871-899 CE) translation of Paulus Orosius’s (385-410 CE) Histories, Wulfstan, the Early Middle Ages‘ most famous ocean voyager, around 880 CE, went “from Haethum [Haithabu/Hedeby] to Truso in seven days and nights, and that the ship was running under sail all the way. Weonodland was on his right, and Langland, Laeland, Falster, and Sconey on his left, all which land is subject to Denmark. Assumed sailing route of Wulfstan’s 880 CE Voyage from Hedeby/Haithabu to Truso (http://www.eupedia.com/forum/threads/29632-Poland-more-Germanic-or-Slavic/page9) 3 ‘Then on our left we had the land of the Burgundians [Bornholm; GH], who have a king to themselves.
