Las excavaciones han sacado a la luz el conjunto urbano romano más completo de toda la península ibérica, con monumentos de extraordinario interés como son la basílica, el teatro, el mercado y el templo de Isis.

  • From Pre-Roman Bailo to Roman Baelo: Long-Term Landscape Dynamics in the Straits of Gibraltar Short Running Title: Landscape Dynamics in the Straits of Gibraltar
    Title: From Pre-Roman Bailo to Roman Baelo: Long-term landscape dynamics in the Straits of Gibraltar Short running title: Landscape dynamics in the Straits of Gibraltar Jiménez-Vialás, Helena1 University of Toulouse CNRS, TRACES UMR 5608 (France) Grau-Mira, Ignasi University of Alicante (Spain) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This study has been carried out as part of the Franco-German (Agence Nationale de la Recherche Scientifique and Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) “ARCHEOSTRAITS. Espaces protohistoriques du détroit de Gibraltar: les territoires de la Silla del Papa et de Los Castillejos de Alcorrín (IXe – Ier siècle av. J.-C.)” project led by D. Marzoli and P. Moret. In this article we have analysed the Atlantic sector in a study included in a Junta de Andalucía General Research Project led by P. Moret, “La Silla del Papa (Tarifa, Cádiz): oppidum, necropolis and territory (2014‐2019)”. We would like to express our gratitude to the leaders of these projects for their assistance with this study. ABSTRACT The Straits of Gibraltar has been historically an important maritime axis of connection between the Mediterranean and Atlantic areas of the Iberian Peninsula. For this reason, most of the archaeological research has focused on the coastal settlements but its archaeological landscape remains mostly unknown. In this paper we present recent intensive surveys carried out in which a wide range of sites was detected, dating from the eighth BC to the fourteenth AD. We will present the study of the ancient landscape from the long-term perspective. Previous to the Roman expansion, the Pre-Roman Bailo-La Silla del Papa was an urban central place that created a dense network of subordinated settlements.

  • Jobs in Roman Spain
    JOBS IN ROMAN SPAIN Leonard A. Curchin A l'économie? L'épitaphe peut-être révélera un métier ignoré. (Marc Bloch, Apologie pour l'histoire [Paris 1952] 73) While the range of occupations attested for residents of the city of Rome has been the subject of several studies,1 considerably less attention has been focused upon jobs in the provinces. This disparity may be due partly to an understandably greater interest in the imperial capital than in peripheral regions, but also and perhaps chiefly to the fact that the columbaria of Rome provide convenient, "closed" samples of inscriptions from a single city within limited chronological bounds, whereas the epigraphic evidence (which is by far the largest segment of testimony)2 for provincial jobs, being scattered over vast geographical tracts and extensive periods of time, is far less diagnostic. An analysis of the epitaphs from a single provincial city would in most cases yield only a handful of jobs, while an attempted study of a chronologically restricted sample would be considerably impeded by our inability to date closely the majority of the inscriptions. For better or worse, then, all the inscriptions of a province or region should be studied as a whole, preferably in constant comparison with avail- able literary and iconographie evidence, and the provincial historian may thereby hope to reap a large selection of job titles from his chosen bailiwick.3 32 33 The present paper examines the types of jobs attested for the residents of Spain from the advent of the Romans in the late third century B.C.

    Portuslimen: Rome’s Mediterranean Ports (RoMP) Workshop 3 - 26th and 27th January 2017 Programme 26 January 2017 AM/PM Open Public Meeting 9.00-9.10: Introduction: Professor Christopher Smith, Director BSR 9.10-9.30: Project overview: S. Keay University of Southampton/BSR Project Field-results 2016: Chaired by S. Keay 9.30-9.55: New Geophysical Research in the Claudian Harbour at Portus: the Northern Mole S. Hay, University of Southampton, S. Kay, British School at Rome, S. Keay, University of Southampton, K. Strutt, University of Southampton & R. Sebastiani, SSCOL The seaward trajectory of the northern mole of the Claudian harbour at Portus would appear to be indicated by the standing structures excavated in 1957 at its eastern end. Whilst 800m of the mole is visible, its full length has never been explored, in part due to the north-south runway of Leonardo Di Vinci airport constructed between 1958-61. In 2007, the then Soprintendenza per i Beni Archeologici di Ostia conducted a programme of deep cores in the area of Pesce Luna, immediately to the west of viale Coccia di Morte. An analysis of this material indicated the northern mole turned southwest towards the conjectured area of the Claudian lighthouse. As part of the Portuslimen ERC-funded research, in April 2016 a large scale ground penetrating-radar (GPR) survey was conducted, with the aim of mapping anomalies in the north-western area inside the Claudian harbour. The earlier cores (Morelli et al, 2011) had indicated an overlying accumulation of approximately 6m, therefore the survey was conducted using a 200MHz frequency GSSI antenna towed by a quad bike or pulled by hand in constricted areas.

Stephens 2016 Dedication To those of us who do not hesitate to take the long and winding road, who are stars in someone else’s sky, and who walk the hillside in the sweet summer sun. ii [Type text] [Type text] Acknowledgements I owe my deep gratitude to many people whose intellectual, emotional, and financial support made my journey possible. Without Dr. T., Eric, Jay, and Maryanne, my academic career would have never begun and I will forever be grateful for the opportunities they gave me. At Michigan, guidance in negotiating the administrative side of the PhD given by Kathleen and Michelle has been invaluable, and I have treasured the conversations I have had with them and Terre, Diana, and Molly about gardening and travelling. The network of gardeners at Project Grow has provided me with hundreds of hours of joy and a respite from the stress of the academy. I owe many thanks to my fellow graduate students, not only for attending the brown bags and Three Field Talks I gave that helped shape this project, but also for their astute feedback, wonderful camaraderie, and constant support over our many years together.

  • Head of Trajan Cast Based on an Original Marble Portrait in the British Museum. Marcus Ulpius Traianus
    Head of Trajan Cast based on an original marble portrait in the British Museum. Marcus Ulpius Traianus (Trajan) was born at Italica in Spain in 53. Trajan was certainly one of the most respected and emulated emperors in Roman history. He attained the rank of consul in 91, and was appointed governor of Upper Germany by the emperor Nerva in 97. Since Nerva’s popularity was waning, he adopted Trajan as his son. In 98 Trajan became the emperor of Rome, thus starting his illustrious career in both warfare and social policy. Like Augustus, an early emperor of Rome, Trajan wished to expand Rome’s borders as far as possible. He fought successful campaigns against both the Dacians and the Parthians and also held commands in Spain, Germany, and the Danube. At home in Rome he enacted social legislation, and began several public works projects such as building the Baths of Trajan and the Via Traiana, which attached to the Via Appia, a major thoroughfare in Italy. With the spoils of war from the Dacian campaign, he built the Forum of Trajan, a marvelous complex with a basilica, Greek and Latin libraries, and a vast marketplace. Trajan’s good deeds ended when he expired in 117, en route to Rome from the battlefield. Trajan’s portraiture, like that of Augustus, remains static, for he is depicted as an “ageless adult” during his entire career, probably because he didn’t become emperor until he was in his mid- forties. There are several styles of Trajanic portraiture but the differences in them are usually quite subtle and have to do with the way Trajan’s hair is styled.
