  • Compass Rose a Compass Rose Is a Tool That Is Found on Maps to Show Directions
    Compass Rose A compass rose is a tool that is found on maps to show directions. It contains cardinal directions, north, south, east, and west. You will see these abbreviated on the compass rose with the capital letters, N, S, E, and W. North will always point toward the North Pole and South points toward the South Pole. You may also see intermediate directions on a compass rose. These directions are northwest, northeast, southwest, and southeast. They are abbreviated NE, SE, NW, and SW. The intermediate directions are located between each of the cardinal directions as a way to be more specific. Cut out and glue each each direction onto the correct place on the compass rose. Then, color each section of the compass rose using the key below.

  • Visigothae Versus Ostrogothae
    GRAECO-LATINA BRUNENSIA 17, 2012, 2 VÁCLAV BLAŽEK (MASARYK UNIVERSITY) VISIGOTHAE VERSUS OSTROGOTHAE In this article, new interpretations of the ethnonyms Visigoths and Ostrogoths are proposed in a wider context of Germanic and Indo-European ethnonyms. The first component of the ethn- onym Visigothae is etymologized on the basis of Old High German wisa “meadow, pasture”, to express the way of livelihood of its bearers, Goths-Pastoralists. On the other way, the first com- ponent of the ethnonym Austrogoti/Ostrogothae may be identified with Old High German ustrī & ustarī “diligence, activity”. These etymologies allow us to determine in both the ethnonyms the pair representing the functional opposition: Goths-Pastoralists vs. Goths-Farmers, resem- bling another pair of Gothic ethnonyms, for this once environmental, Greutungi vs. Tervingi, originally “people from the stony or sandy country” vs. “people from forests”, respectively. Keywords: Goths, ethnonym, etymology, complementary. 1.1. The ethnonym Visigothae is attested in the following main variants, SCHÖNFELD (1911: 267–68); REICHERT (1987: 784–86): Wisigothi – A.D. 472: Priscus Panites apud Jordanes, Getica 115.1; Visigothae ~ Wisigottae & Wisigotae – A.D. 525: Cassiodorus, Varia 78.3 & 79.30; Vesegothae – A.D. 556: Jordanes, Getica 64.22 (Vessegothae ~ Vaessegothae); 78.7; 83.9 (Vesogothae); 91.20; 92.5 (Vaesegothae); 97.16 = 99.16 = 103.14 = 106.7, 8, 17, 19 = 107.3 etc. (Wisigothi), 99.5 = 107.21 (Vesigothi), etc. Οὐισίγοτθοι – A.D. 560: Procopius, b.V.

  • Do Modern Winds Equal Ancient Winds? William M
    DO MODERN WINDS EQUAL ANCIENT WINDS? WILLIAM M. MURRAY Mediterranean Historical Review, 2, (1987),p 139-167 (published online: 02 Jun 2008) INTRODUCTION Today, most of us routinely ignore the presence or absence of the wind unless we are caught in a violent storm or swelter in the heat of a still day. Nevertheless, the wind - its varying strength and direction- was a critically important matter for maritime civilizations before the advent of steam. The winds had a strong influence over human interaction with the sea, and for the ancient cultures of the Mediterranean basin this had far-reaching effects. The winds determined the ease or difficulty of sea-borne communications between cities of the same coast, between the mainland and the islands, and indeed, between the different regions of the Mediterranean basin. Places easily reached on the prevailing winds were visited frequently, and if the presence of sufficient resources warranted, were settled in preference to other areas less open to the sea lanes.1 This recurring tendency helped to shape settlement patterns, and on a smaller scale, determined the precise placement of harbours and the sites of the cities they serviced.2 In addition, the winds determined both coastal and offshore sailing routes, defined navigational hazards, and at times, affected the outcomes of naval battles.3 It follows that our knowledge of their precise behaviour in a particular area might help to locate ancient harbours and wreck sites, to explain anomalies in settlement patterns and to 'flesh out' or even explain confusing accounts of ancient sea battles.4 Stated simply, understanding a coastal area's wind regime (its recurring, annual wind patterns) could be an important factor in helping to reconstruct and evaluate the record of human activity along that coast.

The 32 Point Compass Rose in Medieval Navigation The map illustrates the classical 32 point compass rose, as used in Medieval times by mariners at sea. Arab navigators in the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean, who depended on celestial navigation, were using a 32-point sidereal compass rose before the end of the 10th century. In the northern hemisphere, the steady Pole Star (Polaris) was used for the N-S axis; the less-steady Southern Cross had to do for the southern hemisphere, as the southern pole star, Sigma Octantis, is too dim to be easily seen from Earth with the naked eye. The other thirty points on the sidereal rose were determined by the rising and setting positions of fifteen bright stars. The western half of the rose would be the same stars in their setting position. The true position of these Drawer Ref: Celestial 1 Stock#: 74241 Page 1 of 2 Barry Lawrence Ruderman Antique Maps Inc.

    Computational Methods and Experimental Measurements XVII 443 Mathematical models supporting the monitoring of Civitavecchia harbour (Rome) S. Bonamano1 , F. Paladini de Mendoza1 , V. Piermattei1 , R. Martellucci1 , A. Madonia1 , V. Gnisci1 , E. Mancini1 , G. Fersini3, C. Burgio3 , M. Marcelli1 & G. Zappalà2 1DEB Experimental Oceanology and Marine Ecology Laboratory, Tuscia University, Italy 2Istituto per l’Ambiente Marino Costiero (IAMC), National Research Council, Italy 3Port Authority of Civitavecchia-Fiumicino-Gaeta, Italy Abstract Knowledge of the sources and types of pollutants, of the hydrodynamic field and of the health status of the marine ecosystems subjected to stress is needed to monitor coastal marine environments. The building of new piers and docks and the extension of a breakwater in Civitavecchia harbour have required extensive dredging that was authorised by the Minister of Environment with the prescription to monitor the coastal marine ecosystems with reference to Posidonia oceanica and benthic biocenoses. The structure of benthic communities and the health status of P. oceanica meadows are important indicators of the Ecological Quality Status of coastal marine waters (WFD, 2000/60/CE). In 2012, a multi-platform observing system (C-CEMS) was tested taking into account: a) the distribution of benthic biocenoses; b) physical and biological data acquired by fixed stations and periodic in situ samplings; and c) the results of numerical simulations of sediment particle tracking. This approach was used along the coastline of Northern Latium (Italy) between Tarquinia and Santa Severa. The dispersion of suspended and deposited materials calculated by numerical model is strongly related to the decrement of the shoots density of P. oceanica and to changes of benthic community’s structures.
