Astronomical Orientations in the Roman Centuriation of Tunisia Amelia Carolina Sparavigna Politecnico di Torino Abstract The centuriation, also known as limitation, was the method used by the Roman surveyors for subdividing the land in a regular chessboard of fields, created by a grid made of parallel and perpendicular roads and canals. Here we discuss the limitation of Tunisia and the existence of some astronomical orientations of the grids, that is, orientations towards the direction of the sunrise on solstices or moonrise on lunar standstills. Keywords: Roman Centuriation, Archaeology, Archaeoastronomy, Modern Ephemeris, Suncalc.org, Photographer’s Ephemeris. Centuriation, also known as limitation, was the method used by the Roman surveyors for subdividing the land to create a regular chessboard of fields, separated by a grid of parallel and perpendicular roads and canals.

  • Sustainability and ‘The Fall of the Western Roman Empire’: Grain, Labor Markets, and Military Policies
    Sustainability and ‘The Fall of the Western Roman Empire’: Grain, Labor Markets, and Military Policies Master’s Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Graduate Program in Ancient Greek and Roman Studies Dr. Cheryl Walker, Advisor In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Ancient Greek and Roman Studies by Hunter M. Bruno May 2018 Copyright by Hunter Bruno © 2018 ABSTRACT Sustainability and ‘The Fall of the Western Roman Empire’: Grain, Labor Markets, and Military Policies A thesis presented to the Graduate Program in Ancient Greek and Roman Studies Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Waltham, Massachusetts By Hunter M. Bruno The issue of societal sustainability is relevant to both modern and ancient civilizations. Ancient Rome was defined and influenced by the issue of sustainability because it was integral to the fundamental structure of the Roman society. In the 5th Century CE, the fall of the Western Roman Empire took place because of consequences that resulted from the issue of sustainability. The societal factors of grain production, military policy, and labor markets all served to influence the sustainability of the Roman West. Roman military policy defined the nature of the Roman economy and established the type of labor system that it employed. Free and unfree labor markets structured the agrarian economy and formed the Roman system of internal taxation and rent collection. Local and commercial grain producers were relied upon to maintain the populations of the Roman West, uphold the Roman military, and sustain the growing servile populations.

SUPERVISOR: Rrofessor KM.D. Dunbabin NUMBER OF PA@ES: xiii,. 1 ~,2 11 ABSTRACT This thesis analyses the Roman mosaic of Neptune and the Seasons from La Chebba in Nortk Africa (Africa Proconsularis). The mosaic was exeavated in 1902 in a seaside', villa at La Chebba which is about 10 km. south of El Alia. The mosaic has rec~ived but brief mention in publications since the beginning of the century, in s}i>ite, of its fascinating subject matter. Chapter 1 gives a detailed description of the mosaic, which depicts in a central medallion, Neptune standing in a frontal chariot attended by two members of the marine thiasos. ]:;'our female Seasons appear iin the corner diagonals of the pa"fvement. They are flanked by seasonal animals and little scenes of seasonal activity. These seasonal vignettes and the combination of Neptune with Seasqns are unique features of this mosaic. Chapter 2 deals with the subject of the "triumph"; its modern art historical terminology, its symbolism, and the iconography of Neptune's "triumph". Some very interesting parallels appear.

  • 1886 La France Catholique ENGLISH
    La France Catholique en Tunisie Victor Guérin, 1886, pages 149-157. (See also his document, Voyage à Tunisie, 1862) One can go from Mahdia to Sfax: maybe by land, following by horse the coast towards the south, then south-west, a distance of approximately one hundred and twenty kilometers; maybe by sea, by means of one of the steamers which follow the coast. If one prefers the overland route which makes it possible to study the country, one can visit, on the way, not far to the east of Ksour-es-Sef, the ruins of Selekta, formerly Sullecti or Syllectum, referred to by Procopius as the first stage of Bélisaire in his walk from Caput-Vada to Carthage; the vestiges of El-Alia, which passes for the ancient Achilla of Hirtius ( Acholla de Tite-Live ), the peninsula of the Ras-Capoudiah, the Caput-Vada of antiquity, where Bélisaire disembarked in Africa, which he strengthened and where later the town of Justinianopolis developed, itself now destroyed, and which had been founded in memory of the disembarkment and victories of the imperial troops; close to the significant remains of Ruspae, sits one of the many bishoprics of the Byzantines; further south still, to Inchilla that one generally identifies with Usilla de Ptolémée or the Usula civitas of the Itinerary of Antonin, seat of another bishopric; finally one reaches Sfax. The chief town of the outhan or district of this name is divided into two cities. The high city, the city proper, is reserved for Moslems; it contains eight thousand inhabitants. Surrounded by a notched wall, it is protected by towers, some round, others square or hexagonal, of which several still carry traces, like the kasbah, of the bombardment that, on July 16, 1881, it underwent from the squadron of admiral Garnault, when it attempted a useless resistance against the French.

  • Malta Echoes of Plato's Island
    M MALTA ECHOES OF PLATO’S ISLAND The Prehistoric Society of Malta 2001 Photograph by Anton Mifsud Before the invention of the telescope by Jan Lippersheim in 1608, Nicolaus Copernicus produced this map (1543) challenging the theory prevailing at the time that the world was at the centre of the universe — several ancient texts had then reached Europe from fallen Constantinople. Copernicus was supported in his hypothesis by the observations of Tycho Brahe and Johannes Kepler in 1609, when Galileo built his own telescope and also confirmed Copernicus through his observations of the solar system.
