Urbanisation in Roman Spain and Portugal
The principal aims of Urbanisation in Roman Spain and Portugal: Civitates Hispaniae in the Early Empire are to provide a comprehensive reconstruction of the urban systems of the Iberian Peninsula during the Early Empire and to explain why these systems looked the way they did. While some chapters focus on settlements that were cities or towns from a juridical point of view, the implications of using a purely functional definition of towns are also explored. Key themes include continuities and discontinuities between pre-Roman and Roman settlement patterns, the geographical distribution of cities belonging to various size brackets, economic relationships between self-governing cities and their territories and the role of cities as nodes in road systems and maritime networks. In addition, it is argued that a considerable number of self-governing communities in Roman Spain and Portugal were poly-centric rather than based on a single urban centre. The volume will be of interest to anyone working on Roman urbanism as well as those interested in the Iberian Peninsula in the Roman period.

Soil Hydrology for a Sustainable Land Management
Soil hydrology determines the water–soil–plant interactions in the Earth’s system because porous medium acts as an interface within the atmosphere and lithosphere; regulates main processes such as runoff discharge, aquifer recharge, movement of water, and solutes into the soil; and ultimately the amount of water retained and available for plants growth. Soil hydrology can be strongly affected by land management. Therefore, investigations aimed at assessing the impact of land management changes on soil hydrology are necessary, especially to optimize water resources. This Special Issue collects 12 original contributions addressing the state-of-the-art advances in soil hydrology for susta...

Collaboratori di giustizia e delitti di criminalità organizzata: luci ed ombre del regime penitenziario premiale
La criminalità organizzata - di cui il fenomeno mafioso rappresenta l’espressione più qualificante - presenta caratteristiche identificative di non sempre facile indicizzazione, ma contrassegnate tutte dal comune denominatore del tradursi in dinamiche comportamentali che si snodano in diacroniche temporali imprevedibili con una capacità di capillare penetrazione nel tessuto sociale, istituzionale, politico ed economico, per sovvertirne regole e contenuti. A tale potenziale destabilizzante, configurabile di fatto come una sorta di contropotere, l’ordinamento giuridico ha opposto un articolato regime preventivo-repressivo che involge il diritto penale, il diritto processuale e il diritto penitenziario. Il testo focalizza, in particolare, i mezzi di contrasto al crimine organizzato predisposti in ambito penitenziario e il trattamento differenziato - il sistema definito come “doppio binario” perché imperniato sulla previsione di circuiti trattamentali diversi a seconda del titolo di reato su cui si fonda la detenzione - che il diritto carcerario riserva ai detenuti per delitti di criminalità organizzata.
