  • In This Study, Marcello Mogetta Examines the Origins and Early Dissemina- Tion of Concrete Technology in Roman Republican Architecture
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-84568-7 — The Origins of Concrete Construction in Roman Architecture Marcello Mogetta Frontmatter More Information THE ORIGINS OF CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION IN ROMAN ARCHITECTURE In this study, Marcello Mogetta examines the origins and early dissemina- tion of concrete technology in Roman Republican architecture. Framing the genesis of innovative building processes and techniques within the context of Rome’s early expansion, he traces technological change in monumental construction in long-established urban centers and new Roman colonial cites founded in the 2nd century BCE in central Italy. Mogetta weaves together excavation data from both public monu- ments and private domestic architecture that previously have been studied in isolation. Highlighting the organization of the building industry, he also explores the political motivations and cultural aspirations of patrons of monumental architecture, reconstructing how they negotiated economic and logistical constraints by drawing from both local traditions and long- distance networks. By incorporating the available scientific evidence into the development of concrete technology, Mogetta also demonstrates the contributions of anonymous builders and contractors, shining a light on their ability to exploit locally available resources. marcello mogetta is a Mediterranean archaeologist whose research focuses on early Roman urbanism in Italy. He conducts primary fieldwork at the sites of Gabii (Gabii Project) and Pompeii (Venus Pompeiana Project), for which he has received multiple grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Loeb Classical Library Foundation, the AIA, and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council. He coordinates the CaLC-Rome Project, an international collaboration that applies 3D mod- eling and surface analysis to the life cycle of ceramic vessels from the Esquiline necropolis in Rome.

    BOLLETTINO DI ARCHEOLOGIA ON LINE DIREZIONE GENERALE ARCHEOLOGIA, BELLE ARTI E PAESAGGIO X, 2019/3-4 ANDREA U. DE GIORGI*, RUSSEL T. SCOTT**, ANN GLENNIE*, ALLISON SMITH* COSA (ORBETELLO, GR): 70 YEARS OF EXCAVATIONS AND NEW DIRECTIONS Le Terme pubbliche di Cosa, localizzate al centro del tessuto urbano della colonia, sono oggetto di indagini da parte della Florida State University a partire dal 2013. Gli scavi sono condotti con lo scopo di mettere a fuoco la funzione e il ruolo dell’esteso complesso, utilizzato tra il I e il II secolo d.C., e di comprendere a pieno le soluzioni tecniche adottate dai coloni per risolvere i problemi di approvvigionamento idrico. Le attività di indagine stratigrafica sono supportate da una campagna di rilievo di ortofoto funzionali alla ricostruzione dello scavo, di indagini geofisiche e di ricostruzione paleoambientale. INTRODUCTION: HISTORY OF THE EXCAVATIONS AND OF THE COLONY This year we celebrate an important milestone, with the past excavation season (2018) marking the 70th anniversary of investigation at the site of Cosa1. For many years the flagship of American archaeology in Italy, study of Cosa began in 1948 under the auspices of the American Academy in Rome and the direction of Frank Brown. Brown and his students conducted a series of campaigns between the 1950s and 1980s and investigated major environs of the colony including the Forum2, the Arx3, the Port4, and some house blocks5. 1) Thanks to the Soprintendenza Archeologia, Belle Arti e Paesaggio per le province di Siena, Grosseto e Arezzo for inviting us to present the ongoing work at Cosa.

  • Roman Population Size: the Logic of the Debate
    Princeton/Stanford Working Papers in Classics Roman population size: the logic of the debate Version 2.0 July 2007 Walter Scheidel Stanford University Abstract: This paper provides a critical assessment of the current state of the debate about the number of Roman citizens and the size of the population of Roman Italy. Rather than trying to make a case for a particular reading of the evidence, it aims to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of rival approaches and examine the validity of existing arguments and critiques. After a brief survey of the evidence and the principal positions of modern scholarship, it focuses on a number of salient issues such as urbanization, military service, labor markets, political stability, living standards, and carrying capacity, and considers the significance of field surveys and comparative demographic evidence. © Walter Scheidel. [email protected] 1 1. Roman population size: why it matters Our ignorance of ancient population numbers is one of the biggest obstacles to our understanding of Roman history. After generations of prolific scholarship, we still do not know how many people inhabited Roman Italy and the Mediterranean at any given point in time. When I say ‘we do not know’ I do not simply mean that we lack numbers that are both precise and safely known to be accurate: that would surely be an unreasonably high standard to apply to any pre-modern society. What I mean is that even the appropriate order of magnitude remains a matter of intense dispute. This uncertainty profoundly affects modern reconstructions of Roman history in two ways. First of all, our estimates of overall Italian population number are to a large extent a direct function of our views on the size of the Roman citizenry, and inevitably shape any broader guesses concerning the demography of the Roman empire as a whole.

  • The Population of Cisalpine Gaul in the Time of Augustus1
    The Population of Cisalpine Gaul in the time of Augustus1 In order to put the arguments of this article into a realistic perspective, I want to start by making it clear that we do not know and will never know for certain how many people lived in Cisalpine Gaul during the late Republic and early Empire.2 In theory, then, this could be the shortest article on ancient demography ever written. The reason why I have nevertheless decided to devote a short piece to this seemingly unpromising topic is quite simply that there are, in my view, many interesting things to say about the population of Cisalpine Gaul that have never been said before. It is also my contention that even though the new considerations that will be put forward in this paper do not in any way prove a low-count interpretation of Italy’s demographic history to be correct, they at least highlight some difficulties in the high count that have not received the attention they clearly deserve. My attempt to shed new light on these issues will centre on the shape of the urban network and on the size of the aggregate urban population. I shall begin by looking at the physical size of the towns of Cisalpina and by examining some of the variables that are likely to have influenced the number of town-dwellers per hectare. My next step will be to discuss briefly the problem of urbanization rates. In theory, if it were possible for us to recover both the approximate number of town-dwellers (POPurb) and the overall urbanization rate (URB.RATE) for Cisalpina, the overall population of the North could be extrapolated from the urban population, using the following formula: POPtot = (100: URB.
