Aristocrats and Statehood in Western Iberia, 300-600 C.E.
In a distant corner of the late antique world, along the Atlantic river valleys of western Iberia, local elite populations lived through the ebb and flow of empire and kingdoms as historical agents with their own social strategies. Contrary to earlier historiographical accounts, these aristocrats were not oppressed by a centralized Roman empire or its successor kingdoms; nor was there an inherent conflict between central states and local elites. Instead, Damián Fernández argues, there was an interdependency of state and local aristocracies. The upper classes embraced state projects to assert their ascendancy within their communities. By doing so, they enacted statehood at the local level, ...

Roman Roads
This volume aims to present the current state of research on Roman roads and their foundations in a combined historical and archaeological perspective. The focus is on the diverse local histories and the varying degrees of significance of individual roads and regional networks, which are treated here for the most important regions of the empire and beyond. The assembled contributions will be of interest to historians, archaeologists and epigraphers, since they tackle matters as diverse as the technical modalities of road-building, the choice of route, but also the functionality and the motives behind the creation of roads. Roman roads are further intimately related to various important aspec...
oppidum - civitas – urbs
TOLETUM, das "Netzwerk zur Erforschung der Iberischen Halbinsel in der Antike", legt mit diesem Band erstmals ein deutsch-spanisches Kompendium zur Städteforschung vor. In 36 Beiträgen gewährt eine neue Generation von Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern Einblick in ihre Untersuchungen einer Region des Mittelmeerraums, die wie keine andere in den vergangenen drei Jahrzehnten durch spektakuläre Neufunde auf sich aufmerksam gemacht hat: Das Amphitheater von Corduba, das Theater und Forum von Carthago Nova oder Caesaraugusta, Teile der Stadtanlage von Segobriga und das Senatus consultum de Cn. Pisone patre, die Lex Irnitana - ja über 20.000 Inschriften. Auf der Grundlage eines interdisziplinären und traditionelle Periodisierungen überschreitenden Ansatzes bieten die Analysen von Stadtanlagen wie epigraphischen Monumenten neue Erkenntnisse in die bauliche Ausgestaltung und soziale Organisation der "Lebenswelt Stadt" zwischen Rom und al-Andalus.
Recent Advances in GPR Imaging
The Special Issue (SI) “Recent Advances in GPR Imaging” offers an up-to-date overview of state-of-the-art research activities dealing with the development of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technology and its recent advances in imaging in the different fields of application. In fact, the advances experimented with over the last few decades with regard to the appearance of new GPR systems and the need to manage large amounts of data suggest an increasing interest in the development of new signal processing algorithms and modeling, as well as in the use of three-dimensional (3D) imaging techniques.
