Gromatici
The gromatici , named for the surveying instrument the groma , were instructors and (usually) practitioners of land survey. They wrote from the Flavian period onward; the earliest surviving manuscript probably dates from the sixth century CE . Some works are illustrated. Epigraphic and archaeological evidence supports these sources and confirms the land surveyor's role as planner and administrator, as well as expert witness.
Theoretical Influences on Two Reports of Romano-British Land Division
Computer aided projection of part of the Orange B cadastre to the Cèze valley
The precise position of the northern part of the Orange В cadastre can be established by computer calculation, starting from two known points. This grid can be projected from the Rhône valley, where it is clear, to the Coze valley. Here it accords with several existing landscape features. One of these, a linear road-drain system on the line of a "quintarius", seems to have influenced the choice of location of the modern village of St-Gervais
Why did the idea of coaxial field systems last so long
Andrew Fleming's 1987 paper identified coaxial field systems in the British landscapes that could be dated over a long time-period, from Neolithic to Roman. What does that time-span imply and amount to
Roman Cadastres in Britain 1. South Norfolk A
It is suggested that a Roman centuriated cadastre(1) covered an area of South Norfolk extending at least 25 Km south of Norwich, and at least 15 Km from West to East. It is possible to obtain a good visual fit of a 20 "actus" grid with two existing linear features and two areas of existing rectilinear road systems. This fit is improved when the coordinates of the grid intersection points are calculated. The coincidence of existing junctions on th…
