  • Excavations at Tuscania, 1973

    Open AccessJeremy Johns, Bryan Ward-Perkins et al.ARTICLEPapers of the British School at…1973Citada por: 2

    An article in volume xl of these Papers recorded something of the programme of work which is being undertaken by the British School at Rome, in collaboration with the Italian authorities, on the site of the earthquake-shattered medieval town of Tuscania, in the province of Viterbo some 90 kilometres north-west of Rome. In this article David Whitehouse has given a preliminary sketch of the magnificent series of medieval and post-medieval pottery, …

  • Excavation and Survey at Tuscania, 1972

    Open AccessJ B Ward-Perkins, John Ward-Perkins et al.ARTICLEPapers of the British School at…1972

    On 6 February 1971 the small town of Tuscania, twenty miles west of Viterbo and the same distance north-east of Tarquinia, was the scene of a local but very violent earthquake, which killed a number of people and rendered much of the old town totally uninhabitable. Tuscania (until 1911 Toscanella) is best known to most visitors to Italy for its two magnificent medieval churches, that of San Pietro on the ancient acropolis and that of Santa Maria …

  • The Via Gabina

    Open AccessJ B Ward-Perkins, John Ward-Perkins et al.ARTICLEPapers of the British School at…1972Citada por: 2

    The road which is the subject of this article was first drawn to our attention in the winter of 1963–64 by Professor Dinu Adamesteanu, then Director of the Aerofototeca del Ministero. The area concerned, between the Via Prenestina and the Via Casilina, was already threatened with the development which has since overwhelmed large tracts of the periphery, and in the spring and summer of 1964 we made a number of field trips to record what could then…

  • V. The Roman Road-system and Sites

    Open AccessAnne Kahane, Leslie Murray Threipland et al.ARTICLEPapers of the British School at…1968

    The Etruscan road leaving Veii by the ‘Formello’ Gate and running northwards along the eastern side of the Cremera up to the western lip of the Sorbo Crater and down again to cross the Cremera near Ponte San Silvestro has been described in an earlier section (p. 18). In the Roman period the older road was still utilized, though it now crossed the Cremera by a bridge (noted in PBSR , xxix, 1961, p. 62). As it travelled north it served as an easy a…

  • IV. The Etruscan Ager Veientanus

    Open AccessAnne Kahane, Leslie Murray Threipland et al.ARTICLEPapers of the British School at…1968

    Such settlement as there had been in south-eastern Etruria prior to the Early Iron Age had been established by small groups of pioneers moving up the river valleys from the Tiber. The first Early Iron Age settlers came instead from the west, overland, a difference of orientation which from the very outset made itself felt in the resulting pattern of settlement and communications. The first settlers of Veii seem to have come from the neighbourhood…

  • VI. The Roman Ager Veientanus

    Open AccessAnne Kahane, Leslie Murray Threipland et al.ARTICLEPapers of the British School at…1968Citada por: 4

    The conquest of Veii by Rome in 396 B.C. was an event of far-reaching importance. The city of Veii was captured and sacked, and may even for a short while have been deserted. Its territory was appropriated to the Roman state, and those of its inhabitants who were friendly to Rome were incorporated in the four new tribes that were created on this occasion. It would be idle to deny the long-term significance of these events. Rome's closest politica…

  • VII. The Medieval Ager Veientanus

    Open AccessAnne Kahane, Leslie Murray Threipland et al.ARTICLEPapers of the British School at…1968

    The time is not yet ripe for a detailed account of the post-classical Ager Veientanus. The excavations at Capracorum (S. Cornelia) await publication and only two of the deserted medieval villages have been so much as sampled archaeologically. What follows can be no more than an interim account, setting out something of the historical and topographical framework within which future research may be expected to develop. As the preceding chapter has …

  • II. The Ager Veientanus before the Early Iron Age

    Open AccessAnne Kahane, Leslie Murray Threipland et al.ARTICLEPapers of the British School at…1968

    There can be little doubt that down to the beginning of the Early Iron Age the greater part of the Ager Veientanus, in common with the adjoining territories, was still covered by the primeval forest of which the Ciminian Forest of early Roman history was the still-considerable surviving remnant. There were doubtless trails through the forest, and the activities of hunters and charcoal burners would account for sporadic finds of stone implements (…

  • III. The Etruscan Road-system and Sites

    Open AccessAnne Kahane, Leslie Murray Threipland et al.ARTICLEPapers of the British School at…1968

    The road that led northwards from Veii up the east bank of the Cremera towards the Sorbo crater, left the city about half-way between the North-west Gate and the Ponte Sodo, by a gate which it is convenient to refer to as the Formello Gate ( PBSR , xxix, 1961, pp. 19, 20), although the ancient road in fact passed a short distance to the west of the site of Formello and in places became obsolete as soon as the medieval village was founded. For the…
