Book Synopsis Roman Provence & Rhone Alpes: A Bicycle Your France E-Guide by : Walter Judson Moore
Download or read book Roman Provence & Rhone Alpes: A Bicycle Your France E-Guide written by Walter Judson Moore and published by Walter Judson Moore Imprints. This book was released on 2012-08-16 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geographically, this guidebook focuses on the Roman Provence Region of France of the northern Gard and western Vaucluse Departments, the Drôme Department north and east into the Rhône Alpes, and the southern Ardèche Department. The routes start from three locations: Crest in the Drôme, Vallon-Pont-d’Arc in the Ardèche and Pont du Gard west of Avignon. The Gorges de la Baume & Cirque de Combe Laval route is the outlier due to the staggering beauty of the area. Why this area of France? Not for the industrial Rhône Valley. But, if you wander 20 to 30 kilometers east or west of the Rhône Valley you will find the medieval hilltop villages, deep gorges with rushing rivers, Roman structures and very hospitable people that want to help. Fifteen routes are mapped in detailed color with elevation profiles and exacting, step-by-step directions (data gathered to the nearest 0.2 kilometer). There are 149 color photographs for these surroundings.

Book Synopsis The Roman Provence Guide by : Edwin Mullins
Download or read book The Roman Provence Guide written by Edwin Mullins and published by Interlink Books. This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provence owes its name to Julius Caesar who described the region as “the Province of Rome.” Edwin Mullins seeks out hidden traces of that ancient world along with the many spectacular monuments that today adorn the cities of Nîmes, Arles, Vienne, and Orange. He tells the story of how the Romans came to invade Provence, how they stayed to colonize it, and how they transformed Provençal cities into imitations of Rome. His narrative also tells how the Emperor Constantine brought about the conversion of the Roman Empire to Christianity from his favorite city of Arles—and how the Romans were eventually driven out by the Visigoths. Roman Provence is also a guide to the principal sites in the region as well as those rarely visited, with separate chapters on various Roman achievements: triumphal arches, aqueducts, farming, city life, bridges and road-building, temples and shrines, theaters and amphitheaters.

Book Synopsis Roman Architecture in Provence by : James C. Anderson
Download or read book Roman Architecture in Provence written by James C. Anderson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a survey of the architecture and urbanism of Provence during the Roman era. Provence, or "Gallia Narbonensis" as the Romans called it, was one of the earliest Roman colonies in Western Europe. In this book, James C. Anderson, jr. examines the layout and planning of towns in the region, both those founded by the Romans and those redeveloped from native settlements. He provides an in-depth study of the chronology, dating, and remains of every type of Roman building for which there is evidence in Provence. The stamp of Roman civilization is apparent today in such cities as Orange, Nimes, and Arles, where spectacular remains of bridges, theaters, fora, and temples attest to the sophisticated civilization that existed in this area during the imperial period and late antiquity. This book focuses on the remains of buildings that can still be seen, exploring decorative elements and their influence from Rome and local traditions, as well as their functions within the urban environment.

Book Synopsis Our Majestic Rivers: Nature's Lifelines Part-4 by : Amrahs Hseham
Download or read book Our Majestic Rivers: Nature's Lifelines Part-4 written by Amrahs Hseham and published by Mahesh Dutt Sharma. This book was released on 2024-01-05 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rivers within these stories are not confined by national boundaries or limited to a single cultural lens. They traverse diverse landscapes, carrying with them the collective wisdom of humanity. This collection seeks to embrace this diversity, offering narratives that reflect the multiplicity of voices along the riverbanks. From the sacred narratives of the Ganges to the industrial echoes of the Rhine, each story contributes to the symphony of human experience. As we immerse ourselves in this mosaic of voices, we gain a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness that defines our world. Amid the stories told, there are narratives left untold—the voices silenced by history, the ecosystems imperiled by neglect, and the communities marginalized by systemic inequities. This collection is a testament to the ongoing journey of inclusivity, recognizing that the river of human experience is vast and ever-evolving. It is an acknowledgment of the unseen narratives that shape our world and a commitment to amplifying voices that deserve to be heard. "Our Majestic Rivers: Nature’s Lifelines" is an invitation to embark on a literary voyage—one that mirrors the eternal journey of rivers. As we navigate these narratives, we become travelers along the currents of time, carried by the stories that have shaped the landscapes we call home. In the ripples of these tales, we discover the reflection of our shared humanity and the profound impact we have on the rivers that sustain us.

Book Synopsis Continuity and Rupture in Roman Mediterranean Gaul by : Benjamin P. Luley
Download or read book Continuity and Rupture in Roman Mediterranean Gaul written by Benjamin P. Luley and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2020-09-16 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the decline in popularity of the term “Romanization” as a way of analyzing the changes in the archaeological record visible throughout the conquered provinces of the Roman Empire, scholars have increasingly turned to the important concept of “identity” to understand the experiences of local peoples living under Roman rule. Studies of identity in the Roman Empire have thus emphasized how local peoples, rather than simply passively copying Roman culture, actively created and recreated complex and multi-faceted identities that incorporated local traditions within the increasingly connected and “globalized” world of the empire. How did the violent nature of Roman rule in the provinces impact local communities and the ways in which individuals interacted with one another? This book provides a detailed study of the ways in which the Celtic-speaking peoples of the ancient settlement of Lattara in Roman Mediterranean Gaul fashioned their lives under two centuries of Roman rule,and in particular the ways in which the creation of these lived experiences wasentangled in the larger processes of Roman colonialism. The important archaeological settlement and port of Lattara (located today in modern Lattes in Mediterranean France), was occupied from ca 500 BCE to 200 CE, and has been the focus of extensive excavations by international teams of archaeologists for over 35 years. The author seeks to understand the ways in which the daily lives of the inhabitants of Lattara were shaped and constrained by the particular historical circumstances of Roman rule, involving the violent conquest of the province between 125-121 BCE, the pacification of numerous revolts in the in the first half of the first century BCE, and the imposition of an oppressive system of taxation, land redistribution, and grain levies. Through a detailed analysis of the large corpus of archaeological evidence dating from ca. 200 BCE to 200 CE at Lattara, the author argues that the violent establishment of Roman rule in Mediterranean Gaul engendered very different forms of social relationships and interactions that structured the community during the late first century BCE and onward. This involved a new organization of domestic space and living arrangements, new relationships structuring the production and exchange of material goods, different relationships between the community and the wider spiritual world, and new strategies for acquiring political influence and power, based upon the increasing importance of material wealth. All of this occurred by the very end of the first century BCE despite the continued persistence of many aspects of local identity, particularly evident in religious practices. Furthermore, these new social relationships were arguably paramount in the daily practices of reproducing Roman rule at Lattara, and in the larger province of Mediterranean Gaul more generally; practices that were in particular rooted in an ever-increasing socio-economic hierarchy.
