Book Synopsis Janello Torriani and the Spanish Empire by : Cristiano Zanetti
Download or read book Janello Torriani and the Spanish Empire written by Cristiano Zanetti and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-07-10 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Janello Torriani, known in the Spanish-speaking world as Juanelo Turriano (Cremona, Italy ca. 1500 – Toledo, Spain 1585), is the greatest among Renaissance inventors and constructors of machines. Contemporary literates and mathematicians celebrated Janello Torriani and his creations in their writings. It is striking how such fame turned into nearly complete oblivion, leaving only a few clues of a blurred and distorted memory dispersed here and there. This book wishes to show the central role that artisans formed in the Vitruvian tradition played in demonstrating through practical mathematics an increasing and positive control over Nature, a step rooted in humanist culture and foundational for the understanding of those historical processes known as the Scientific and the Industrial Revolutions.

Book Synopsis Urbanisation in Roman Spain and Portugal by : Pieter Houten
Download or read book Urbanisation in Roman Spain and Portugal written by Pieter Houten and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-03 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Regional Urban Systems in the Roman World, 150 BCE - 250 CE written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-12-16 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of Regional Urban Systems in the Roman World is on urban hierarchies and interactions in large geographical areas rather than on individual cities. Based on a painstaking examination of archaeological and epigraphic evidence relating to more than 1,000 cities, the volume offers comprehensive reconstructions of the urban systems of Roman Gaul, North Africa, Sicily, Greece and Asia Minor. In addition it examines the transformation of the settlement systems of the Iberian Peninsula and the central and northern Balkan following the imposition of Roman rule. Throughout the volume regional urban configurations are examined from a rich variety of perspectives, ranging from climate and landscape, administration and politics, economic interactions and social relationships all the way to region-specific ways of shaping the townscapes of individual cities.

Download or read book Ingeniería romana en Hispania written by Ignacio González Tascón and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La obra se articula en dos partes. La primera es una historia amplia de los logros y desarrollo de la ingeniería romana, sin olvidar precedentes y conocimientos heredados del mundo griego o de otras civilizaciones. Aborda en diferentes capítulos las técnicas constructivas, los problemas que se encontraban en el mundo antiguo al trazar acueductos, construir puentes, bóvedas, calzadas, drenar el agua o hacer puertos y las soluciones a las que recurrían; se detiene en las máquinas e ingenios de que disponían y en las personas que ponían en marcha esas obras y las ejecutaban. La segunda parte es un glosario de términos que desarrolla cómo se expresaban todas estas actividades en lengua latina, no sólo los vocablos de instrumentos, máquinas o técnicas de construcción concreta, sino las acciones, los procesos, la definición conceptual de diversas actividades y los nombres de los oficios que intervenían.En ambas partes hay un hilo conductor que son los textos, en latín la mayoría, aunque también con significativos pasajes en griego, todos ellos con versión en castellano.

Book excerpt: The fishing technology of the Classical world has so far received little systematic attention, neither from historians nor from archaeologists. In this volume, the reader will find a series of studies offering a wide range of approaches to the topic of ancient fishing technology, based on detailed studies of the available literary, archaeological, pictorial and icthyological evidence as well as on diachronic comparisons with fishing techniques of the Early Medieval and Modern periods. The articles included in the present volume are based on the authors' presentations at an international, interdisciplinary workshop in Cadiz, covering the history of fishing from Pre-history to the present day, with a special emphasis on the Roman period.
