Unpacking Roman trade: A quantitative study of amphora circulation in the Western provinces
Ceramic amphorae provide clues to the movement of foodstuffs within the Roman Empire and can therefore act as a useful proxy for economic productivity. Here, the authors present the results of a large-scale quantitative analysis of amphora frequency data from 254 excavations conducted across the Western Roman provinces. By examining the distribution of 20 of the most common amphora types, which primarily served as olive-oil, garum and wine contai…
The Coptic Project: Exploring monastic networks in Late Antique Egypt
The Coptic Project explores monastic landscapes and long-distance exchange in Late Antique Egypt (third–seventh centuries AD). Combining archaeological, textual and spatial data, it investigates the relationship between Christian communities, mobility systems and regional networks of exchange, offering new perspectives on connectivity and landscape development.
Lost in the Desert? New Perspectives on Egyptian Monastic Networks (3rd–8th Centuries CE)
The transformation of sacred landscapes in Late Antique Egypt (3rd–8th centuries CE ) was a dynamic process of religious adaptation influenced by economic, social and spatial factors. While textual sources often emphasise religious conflict and imperial policies, archaeological and papyrological evidence present a more nuanced reality in which temples were frequently repurposed for secular or ecclesiastical functions rather than subjected to syst…
Impact of accessibility and saturation of the Roman transport network in the urban development of the Iberian Peninsula
Aproximaciones Cuantitativas en El Estudio De Las Vías Romanas. La Movilidad Y Los Costes De Transporte a Partir De Network Science
Las redes de transporte ofrecen un conjunto de información que ayuda a comprender la realidad de nuestro pasado a partir de aspectos vinculados a la economía, la política o la sociedad. En este artículo se aborda cómo, a través del uso del Análisis de redes, es posible obtener información nueva acerca de aspectos tan fundamentales como el transporte de mercancías, la relación distancia-tiempo de viaje o la complejidad del diseño y organización de…
Who lived in that Roman house? Computational analysis on the domestic space to identify a new hybrid house in the Roman Empire
Pelagios – Connecting Histories of Place. Part II: From Community to Association
This article, which forms the second part of a two-part article in this volume, reflects on what we argue to be the most crucial element of any Linked Data enterprise: its community. The first section discusses a variety of funded and unfunded activities conducted under the aegis of Pelagios, and specifically two ‘small grant’ programmes that dramatically expanded its scope and reach. The second section describes the evolution of Pelagios as a ‘c…
The Role of Politics in the Historical Transport Networks of the Iberian Peninsula and the Pyrenees from Roman Times to the Nineteenth Century
Transport routes are basic elements that are inextricably linked to diverse political, economic, and social factors. Transport networks may be the cause or result of complex historical conjunctions that reflect to some extent a structural conception of the political systems that govern each territory. It is for this reason that analyzing the evolution of the transport routes layout in a wide territory allows us to recognize the role of the politi…
Network Analysis to Model and Analyse Roman Transport and Mobility
The analysis of Roman infrastructures, which helps to understand the transport costs, the commercial routes and the territorial configuration, is an indispensable way to know the benefits and shortcomings of the transportation system created in Roman times. It is well known that the Roman Empire built the first big transport network in Western Europe, parts of Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Northern Africa. In this paper, we show our attempt…
Land transport in mountainous regions in the Roman Empire: Network analysis in the case of the Alps and Pyrenees
El diseño urbano de la regio IV de Complutum (Alcalá de Henares). Estudios a partir de la prospección geofísica
Se presenta la investigación realizada sobre la traza urbana de la regio IV de la ciudad romana de Complutum. Se realiza una prospección eléctrica acompañada por el estudio de algunos restos excavados recientemente y de la documentación procedente de excavaciones del siglo XIX. Como resultado, ha sido posible generar una nueva propuesta de diseño urbano para la regio IV, basada en una trama ortogonal de insulae de 30x30 m, e identificar diversas …
The Roman Transport Network: A Precedent for the Integration of the European Mobility
In the last years, the use of geographical information systems has been common in many historical and geographical studies. Perhaps one of the least known applications is network analysis, a series of functions related to hydrology and mobility. Since 1994, researchers have used network analyses to understand costs and time expenditure in transportation in Roman times, with the aim of modeling commercial routes. Archaeological objects were employ…
