No full textA re-examination of the archaeological evidences dated back from the 6th to the end of the 4th/beginning of the 3rd centuries bc, together with a specific focus towards the role of three significant funerary stones bearing Venetic inscriptions and the results of a UAV-derived analysis, has led to highlight the entanglement of the territorial and itinerary dynamics of pre-Roman and Roman periods in the area of the Venetia between Este and Padova
Cappadocia centro-meridionale (Turchia). Il sistema di viabilità antica in una terra di frontiera
Get PDFWhile considering the ancient road network of Anatolia, central and southern Cappadocia could very well have served as a major hub or pivotal area, and merits our special attention on account of its strategic importance both in the military and in the economic senses.
The whole district was, indeed, passed through by a series of roads, which effectively linked east and west, as well as south and north. The ‘southern’ directrix leading from Konya/Iconium to the Cilician Gates, running across the Çakıt Suyu valley, ensured smooth and easy communication between the Anatolian plateau and the Mediterranean shores of Cilicia. The ‘northern’ highway from Konya/Iconium to Aksaray/Colonia Arcilaida and Kayseri/Caesarea - which has at least been in use from the Achaemenid period to nowadays - connected the inner land to the eastern boundary of Anatolia and especially to the Euphrates district. Another historically important road from Kayseri/Caesarea to the Cilician Gates joined the former directrix to the latter, closing that sort of wide and hypothetical ‘road triangle’ - whose vertexes being Konya, Kayseri and the Cilician Gates – which has really characterised that frontier territory. This thesis tries to describe all that road system, which has been in use, even if in different ways, through time till nowadays.
The ancient road-tracks have been reconstructed by a renewed study of Greek, Roman and Byzantine literary and epigraphic sources, new archaeological data, new surveys conducted on-site and by remote sensing analysis. And all these have led to a reconsideration of the various hypotheses advanced by scholars with regard to the actual line taken by these arterial roads, and they have drawn us to propose a more congruous picture of the ancient road network which existed in this border territory that linked East and West
Paesaggi militari e controllo territoriale nell’alta pianura vicentina in età tardorepubblicana
No full textNell’attuale zona industriale di Schio si trovano i resti di un accampamento militare romano (Campo romano), posto a controllo dello sbocco in pianura delle valli prealpine del Lèogra e dell’Astico. L’insediamento restò in un uso per un breve periodo fra la seconda metà del II e l’inizio del I secolo a.C., in un momento in cui la Venetia occidentale risultava particolarmente esposta a insidiose scorrerie provenienti da nord. Alcune analisi di visibilità condotte in ambiente GIS permettono di approfondire l’utilità del sistema difensivo incentrato sull’accampamento altovicentino e su alcuni punti di avvistamento ubicati nelle vicinanze
Hide and Seek. Roads, Lookouts and Directional Visibility Cones in Central Anatolia
Get PDFIn Cappadocia (central Turkey), routes that were only of a secondary importance during the Roman age acquired a new relevance starting from the end of the 7th century. In this framework, to what extent did the archaeological evidence match the picture recalled by the written sources? To address this question, the relationship between movement and visibility was considered and viewshed analyses were conducted from targeted and strategic spots set along the routes considered. This allowed to better understand the role and the different functions of those axes crossing Cappadocia, and to evaluate the Byzantine/Arab military strategies in central Anatolia
