Roman and Late Antique Wine Production in the Eastern Mediterranean
Wine was an ever-present commodity that permeated the Mediterranean throughout antiquity. This book analyses the viticulture of two settlements, Antiochia ad Cragum and Delos, using results stemming from surface survey and excavation to assess their potential integration within the now well-known agricultural boom of the 5th-7th centuries AD.
Methods in Ancient Wine Archaeology
"Bringing together a wide array of modern scientific techniques and interdisciplinary approaches, this book provides an accessible guide to the methods that form the current bedrock of research into Roman, and more broadly ancient, wine. Chapters are arranged into thematic sections, covering biomolecular archaeology and chemical analysis, archaeobotany and palynology, vineyard and landscape archaeology and computational and experimental archaeology. While most of the content is of direct relevance to the Roman Mediterranean, the assortment of detailed case studies, methodological outlines and broader 'state of the field' reflections is of equal use to researchers working across disparate disciplines, geographies and chronologies"--
The Resilience of the Roman Empire
The Resilience of the Roman Empire discusses the relationship between population and regional development in the Roman world from the perspective of archaeology. By adapting a comparative approach, the focus of the volume lies on exploring the various ways in which regional communities actively responded to population growth or decline in order to keep going on the land available to them. The starting point of the theoretical framework for the case studies is the agricultural intensification models developed by Thomas Malthus and Ester Boserup. In order to advance the debate on the validity of these models for identifying the societal and economic pathways of the Roman world, the contributor...
A viticultura romana em Columela
Neste livro apresentamos a viticultura romana a partir da obra de Lúcio Columela (ca 4 a.C.-70 d.C.), considerado um importante agrônomo romano, ao lado de Catão, Varrão, Virgílio, Plínio, o Velho e Paládio. A obra De re rustica de Columela é considerada uma das mais importantes e extensas sobre a agricultura romana, e especialmente sobre a viticultura durante o primeiro século da nossa era. Columela leva em consideração várias obras anteriores escritas sobre agricultura ou ciências afins, ora utilizando suas informações, ora criticando-as ou ressignificando-as, ora substituindo-as por novas experiências. A obra apresenta uma visão idealizada da viticultura desenvolvida no e...
Buckinghamshire
This completely new edition reveals a county of contrasts. The semi-rural suburbia of outer-Outer London, with its important early Modern Movement houses, is counterbalanced by magnificent mansions and parks, like idyllic Stowe and the Rothschilds' extravaganza at Waddesdon. The Saxon Church at Wing, the exquisite seventeenth-century Winslow Hall, and Slough's twentieth-century factories all contribute to Buckinghamshire's rich inheritance. In this new edition, the unspoilt centres of small towns, like Amersham and Buckingham, are revisited and Milton Keynes, Britain's last and most ambitious New Town, is explained and explored. The rich diversity of rural buildings, built of stone, brick, timber, and even earth, is investigated with scholarship and discrimination. This accessible and comprehensive guide is prefaced by an illuminating introduction and has many excellent illustrations, plans and maps.
