En el libro se presenta un conjunto edilicio de una singular arquitectura, emplazado en término municipal de Villajoyosa (Alicante), que hemos identificado como una fullonica y tinctoria de época romano-republicana. Se trata, de un tipo de equipamiento artesanal muy particular, identificado con dificultad entre otros posibles restos de la Hispania romana, que incide directamente en la cuestión de la presencia de ciudadanos romanos en el territorio. La construcción parece estrictamente romana, y, por extensión, en la propia aculturación de la población local ibera, una hibridación que conducirá, andando los años, hacia la creación de un municipium en estas tierras, probablemente Allon, citado en distintas fuentes.

Soil and water management is a major stake for the current Mediterranean countries. It was also an important challenge for past societies, especially since the Neolithic and the early well-established farming communities. the mastery of these vital resources accompanied the complexification of social organization. It also widely contributed, if not to impulse it, at least to structure it. This volume presents the results of the CEDRE multidisciplinary project NAHR IBRAHIM that was led on the Lebanese mountain centered around the Nahr Ibrahim valley (the famous Adonis valley in Antiquity), in the hinterland of the ancient city of Byblos. the mountain has been under-researched by archaeology and history due to the attractiveness of the prestigious coastal phoenician cities. The history of settlement patterns and the construction of agricultural mountainous landscapes since the Early Bronze Age is examined with comparisons from other regions surrounding the Mediterranean Basin.

The volume is completed by critical essays, a detailed biographical timeline and an exhaustive bibliography which make the Catalogue an essential instrument of study for scholars, experts and art lovers.

Ave, César, los que van a morir te saludan. Quizá no haya ninguna frase más conocida sobre la gladiatura romana? y tampoco ninguna tan cargada de mitos, malentendidos y falsedades. Una frase que jamás se pronunció, fruto de la tergiversada imagen sobre los gladiadores que han propagado la novela histórica y el cine. Gladiadores. Valor ante la muerte es un libro que parte de las evidencias que la arqueología, la epigrafía y los textos clásicos han dejado sobre estos espectáculos, para mostrar su realidad y explicarlos dentro del contexto cultural y mental de la sociedad romana. A lo largo de sus páginas, trufadas de numerosas y espectaculares ilustraciones, acompañaremos a los hombres que se convertían en gladiadores, compartiremos su vida en el ludus, el lugar donde se preparaban física y mentalmente para el combate, comeremos su rancho, sudaremos en sus entrenamientos y experimentaremos el miedo y el dolor, pero también la gloria, del momento supremo de la lucha, cuando podían convert

El combate naval entre cartagineses y romanos en el cabo de Ecnomo (256 a. C.) ha pasado a la historia como una de las mayores batallas de cuantas se han librado en el Mediterráneo, y John Stack traza un rumbo implacable y firme desde las primeras páginas de esta novela para llevarnos hasta el centro de esa trepidante y violentísima lucha. Al frente de la flota romana, el capitán del Áquila, Ático no sólo se enfrenta a unas bien dotadas y dirigidas fuerzas cartaginesas, que además han contratado como mercenarios a crueles capitanes piratas, sino que tendrá que lidiar con las disparatadas órdenes de un joven e inexperto tribuno que amenaza con poner en riesgo toda la operación. Los conocimientos que Stack posee de navegación, estrategias militares y política romana son asombrosos, pero los usa además con extraordinario talento para dotar de realismo una trama novelesca arrebatadora.

El estudio de la escultura es un tema "clásico" en arqueología de época romana, que se justifica por la importancia de los significados que aquélla tuvo en la antigüedad y que sirven para la caracterización histórica de las sociedades que la produjeron. De ahí la riqueza de tales estudios, realizados desde enfoques muy variados: el análisis de los materiales, de los talleres y técnicas de producción, del comercio de piezas, de la iconografía, del estilo, de las reutilizaciones, etc.En el caso de la actual localidad de Medina Sidonia (Cádiz), la antigua colonia romana de Asido, destaca no sólo la cantidad de piezas conservadas, sino la calidad y singularidad de muchas de ellas. Sobresale, especialmente, la estatuaria imperial de época augustea y julio-claudia, que conforma uno de los ciclos dinásticos mejor documentados de la Bética, con tres diferentes localizaciones en el paisaje urbano de la colonia: un santuario en la "acrópolis", el foro, y el posible teatro.

An unabridged reading of the brand new novelisation of a classic Fourth Doctor TV story by Douglas AdamsThe Doctor takes Romana for a holiday in Paris - a city which, like a fine wine, has a bouquet all its own. But the TARDIS arrives in 1979, a table-wine year, whose vintage is soured by cracks in the very fabric of time itself. Soon the Time Lords are embroiled in an audacious alien scheme which encompasses home-made time machines, the theft of the Mona Lisa, the resurrection of the much-feared Jagaroth race, and the beginning (and quite possibly the end) of all life on Earth. Aided by British private detective Duggan, the Doctor and Romana must thwart the machinations of the suave, mysterious Count Scarlioni - all twelve of him - if the human race has any chance of survival.

Son muchos hombres de buena voluntad, incluso no pertenecientes a la comunidad cristiana, que reconocen al papa como la más alta autoridad moral. El papa es signo tanto de la orientación del hombre por la verdad de Dios como de su indestructible dignidad y de la paz y la justicia social en la familia de los pueblos.Al conmemorar en 2017 los quinientos años de la Reforma, pero también con tristeza por la escisión de la cristiandad occidental, muchos cristianos que todavía no están en comunidad plena con el sucesor de Pedro anhelan una figura ecuménica del papado para que nos dirijamos a la unidad visible de la Iglesia tal y como la quiere su divino Fundador. Para poder cumplir la misión confiada por Cristo, el Santo Padre necesita la cualificada colaboración y el compromiso del colegio cardenalicio, que comparte su solicitud y, junto con él, representa a la Iglesia romana, madre y maestra de todas las iglesias.Las congregaciones cardenalicias de la curia romana, constituidas en

Los romanos se consideraban los más piadosos de los hombres, y religiosa es sobre todo la base que justifica sus relaciones diversas con otros pueblos.Esta obra, centrada en el ritual como elemento nuclear de la religión romana, analiza las diversas modalidades del cultus deorum, que resume la relación entre hombres y dioses, los dos polos que estructuran la civitas romana (incluyendo la visión emic de autores como Varrón o Cicerón), así como las diversas vías de análisis mediante las cuales la historiografía moderna ha abordado los problemas planteados por la documentación existente, desde el modelo de la religión cívica al de la ?individualización religiosa? o a los nuevos enfoques cognitivos, espaciales o materiales. Se plantean las líneas claves en las transformaciones religiosas, sus agentes y contextos, y se analizan finalmente las identidades religiosas en el marco de la globalización imperial.Este libro se dirige a estudiantes universitarios en sus diversos grados, pero t

The interrelations between objects and organisms take many forms, from the microbes known to inhabit medieval manuscripts to the biomorphic forms observable in Art Nouveau lamps, and from the androids cast in American superhero comics to the coral found on Chinese porcelain recovered from shipwrecks. The contributions to this volume investigate various interactions between inanimate and animate matter in art, literature, technology, and other areas of human perception and expression. The book highlights how certain characteristics allow objects to be understood as living organisms, and vice versa. Via a range of dynamics involving vivification and reification, objects and organisms emerge as unstable, transforming within evolving situations. Innovative, interdisciplinary object-scientific contribution to critical ecology From the early modern period into the 21st century
