Cornelii Scipiones, family and tomb of
The Cornelii Scipiones, a branch of the famous patrician gens Cornelia , were one of the most powerful and influential families of the Roman Republic. Together, Scipio Africanus and Scipio Aemilianus, the two most famous members of the family, led Rome to victory over Carthage in the Punic Wars and, at the same time, laid the foundation for the return of monarchy through the transition from Republic to Empire. The family tomb, located not far fro…
An Introduction to Silius Italicus and the Punica
In a much-needed comprehensive introduction to Silius Italicus and the Punica, Jacobs offers an invitation to students and scholars alike to read the epic as a thoughtful and considered treatment of Rome’s past, present, and (perilous) future. The Second Punic War marked a turning point in world history: Rome faced her greatest external threat in the famous Carthaginian general Hannibal, and her victory led to her domination of the Mediterranean.…
The Text of Pliny, Hn 19.4–5
In the passage about the flax plant, lini natura et miracula ( HN 1.19) at the beginning of Book 19 (1–25) of his Naturalis historia , Pliny launches into a moralizing diatribe on man's assault against Nature, fulminating against the evils which man brings upon himself by taking to the high seas in ships with sails. The passage culminates in the rhetorical outburst audax uita, scelerumque plena (19.4), which serves as something of a moral aphoris…

Canadian interprovincial employees in the Canadian Arctic
One of the ongoing debates in Arctic labor research is the impact of the fly-in/fly-out worker populations on northern labor markets. A problem that researchers encounter is the lack of standardized national metrics for tracking migratory employees. However, a long-awaited dataset deriving from Statistics Canada's Alberta Shadow Population research using Canada Revenue Agency information has recently become available, which provides statistics on…

Temporal and Spatial Variability in the Distribution of Vibrio vulnificus in the Chesapeake Bay
Chapter Seven. From Sallust To Silius Italicus
This chapter traces the development of Silius Italicus' presentation of the metus hostilis across a series of three passages. In the first passage (3.557-629), Jupiter connects the era of the Second Punic War with that of the Flavians in his conversation with Venus on Mt. Olympus. Then, in the second (7.409-493), Proteus connects the fall of Troy with that of Carthage in his conversation with the Nereids in his grotto near Capri. Finally, in the …
Climatic and Environmental Variability in the Rise of Maya Civilization
Archaeological and ecological investigations in the Mirador Basin of northern Guatemala have recovered archaeological, phytolith, palynological, and pedological data relevant to the early occupation and development of Maya civilization in a specific environmental matrix. Fluctuation in vegetation types as evident in cores and archaeological profiles suggest that the seasonally wet, forested bajo environment currently found in the northern Peten w…

Early Agriculture in the Maya Lowlands
Wetland research in northern Belize provides the earliest evidence for development of agriculture in the Maya Lowlands. Pollen data confirm the introduction of maize and manioc before 3000 B.C. Dramatic deforestation, beginning ca. 2500 B.C. and intensifying in wetland environments ca. 1500-1300 B.C., marks an expansion of agriculture, which occurred in the context of a mixed foraging economy. By 1000 B.C. a rise in groundwater levels led farmers…
Ancient Maya Wetland Agricultural Fields in Cobweb Swamp, Belize
A series of channel/island features at the archaeological site of Colha on the margins of Cobweb Swamp in northern Belize were determined to be relics of ancient wetland agricultural fields. Conformation of the stratigraphy in both mounded and non mounded areas, as examined in pits and trenches, revealed definite human modification of the buried Cobweb Paleosol. Radiocarbon assays of sediment and charcoal suggest the Maya dug ditches in the Cobwe…

Facilitators of Romantic Attraction and Their Relation to Lovestyle
A questionnaire was developed based on findings in experimental studies and from clinical speculation that various internal states and/or external conditions facilitate romantic attraction. 305 subjects responded to thirty items which were submitted to a principal components factor analysis and four factors emerged accounting for 50.5% of the variance. The four facilitators are distress, identity enhancement, aging and social pressures, and sexua…
