    Open AccessR J A Wilson, Rodney WilsonCHAPTERThe Encyclopedia of Ancient History2022

    Mogontiacum is the site of a double legionary fortress first established under Augustus and enlarged and refurbished on several occasions later. It was occupied into the fourth century.

    Open AccessR J A Wilson, Rodney WilsonCHAPTERThe Encyclopedia of Ancient History2022

    Xanten is the nearest modern town to the site of the Roman town of Colonia Ulpia Traiana , founded in ca. 99 ce . It was previously, for all of the first century ce , a settlement of the local Ciberni tribe. Excavation has revealed much about the defenses and some of the public and private buildings within, including classical‐style and Romano‐Celtic temples, a large bath, and an amphitheater.

    Open AccessR J A Wilson, Rodney WilsonCHAPTERThe Encyclopedia of Ancient History2012

    A double legionary fortress of 36 ha (89 acres), on a terrace above the Rhine at its confluence with the Main, was founded in 13/12 BCE in support of Augustus' ambition to conquer territory east of the Rhine, to be masterminded by his stepson Drusus. However, Drusus died in 9 BCE , much mourned by his troops. The 19.6 m (64 ft) high funerary monument outside the fortress to the southeast (“Eichelstein” or “Drususstein”) may well be a cenotaph bui…

  • Vetera (Birten, Germany)

    Open AccessR J A Wilson, Rodney WilsonCHAPTERThe Encyclopedia of Ancient History2012

    Vetera was the local name (probably meaning “Water”) of two successive Roman legionary fortresses on the Fürstenberg near the modern village of Birten; they lay at the ancient confluence of the Rhine and the Lippe, 2 km southeast of the later Roman colonia of Xanten, Germany.

  • Economic Development in Saudi Arabia

    Ahmed Al Rajhi, Abdullah Al Salamah et al.BOOKEconomic Development in Saudi…2012

    The changing political situation in the Middle East poses challenges for the economies of the region, and some see none more vulnerable to collapse than Saudi Arabia's. Yet as this study demonstrates, the fundamentals of the Kingdom's economy are relatively robust, as over three quarters of GDP is accounted for by the non-oil sector, and impressive modern industries have been established, notably in petrochemicals. The financial system functions …

    Rodney WilsonARTICLEBritish Journal of Middle Eastern…1998References: 14

    More economists have been involved in Middle Eastern studies during the last twenty‐five years than ever before, and economists from the region itself now rightly play a dominant role. Inevitably amongst economists there have been disagreements and different schools of thought, especially over the role of the state and the desirability of privatization and structural adjustment policies. There have also been different definitions of rentier state…
