    Open AccessR H Traquair, Ramsay TraquairARTICLECanadian Historical Review1938

  • XVII.—On Italian Armour from Chalcis in the Ethnological Museum at Athens

    Open AccessCharles Ffoulkes, R H Traquair et al.ARTICLEArchaeologia1911

    For some years past a collection of helmets and portions of plate armour has been exhibited in the Ethnological Museum at Athens which, in spite of the exceptional interest which attaches to it, has up to the present time escaped the serious consideration of writers on the subject of the defensive armour of the Middle Ages. It is especially interesting because, from the time of the discovery of the collection to the present day, there has not bee…

  • III.—Mediaeval Churches

    Open AccessR H Traquair, Ramsay TraquairARTICLEThe Annual of the British School…1909

    The villages of lower and upper Boularioi lie on the hill-side above the modern port of Gerolimena. Above the upper village stands the church of Hagios Strategos (Pls. XI, XII). It is in three parts, the church proper, the narthex, and a small domed porch. The church belongs to the two-columned type of the later Byzantine school, in which the central dome rests upon two columns to the west and upon the dividing walls of the eastern chapels to the…

  • Mediaeval Fortresses of the North-Western Peloponnesus

    Open AccessR H Traquair, Ramsay Traquair et al.ARTICLEThe Annual of the British School…1907

    The Castle of Karytaena built by Hugues Bruyères de Champagne and his son Geoffrey in 1254. The Barony was one of the twelve original fiefs of the Morea, and from its position, guarding the fertile plain of Megalopolis against the inroads of the wild highlanders of Skortá, the castle must have been of the greatest importance. By the year 1278 the family of Bruyères was extinct in the male line and the Barony had passed to the house of Brienne. In…

  • I.—Mediaeval Fortresses

    Open AccessR H Traquair, Ramsay TraquairARTICLEThe Annual of the British School…1906Cited by: 1

    The troubled state of the Peloponnesus during the Middle Ages left its mark on no buildings more evidently than on its castles. Each successive owner obtained his title at the cost of some part of the building, and his first thought on gaining possession was either to strengthen the fortress he had just captured, or to dismantle it utterly and leave behind him a useless pile of ruins. Military architecture too, is little influenced by respect for…

  • II.—Excavations at Sparta, 1906

    Open AccessR H Traquair, Ramsay TraquairARTICLEThe Annual of the British School…1906

    In plan the walls surrounding the Acropolis of Sparta form an irregular oblong, terminated to the east and west by two small hills which formed citadels or outlook points. Though no single complete part remains, and in many places the walls are levelled to the ground, the lines can still be traced fairly completely. (Plate VIII. 3.) At the south eastern corner are the ruins of a Roman Stoa of the Imperial period (A). They shew a series of small c…
