Coded Geometry: A Digitally Expanded Game of Psychogeography
The materiality, aesthetics, logics and processes of digitality have infused the physical space of cities. We can no longer speak of a clear distinction between analogue, carbon-based, offline entities and digital, silicon-based, online representations. The relationship between digital technology and the city is a complex, more-than-human one in which the convergence of digital technology and the city can be shown to have expanded not just the sp…

Sails from the Roman port at Berenike, Egypt
A 1st-century AD midden deposit at Berenike, a major port on the trade route between the Roman Empire and India, has produced cotton textile fragments reinforced with a rectangular grid-pattern of cotton strips, interpreted as the remains of sails. Webbing fragments of cotton and linen, in some cases attached to stout cotton or linen cloth, may also have come from sails. The only published example of a Roman-Period sail is a linen sail of 1st-cen…

The Roman Horizontal Loom
The evidence of surviving textiles and entries in the Edict of Diocletian (A. D. 301) suggest that the first horizontal loom was developed by Roman weavers in the eastern provinces, probably in Syria, not long before A. D. 250. Fitted with multiple heddle-rods, the loom was used to weave damask silks with geometric patterns. An advanced model in which the patterning device was separate from the basic binding device for the first time was availabl…

Some Ancient Silk from the Crimea in the British Museum
A textile fragment from the Crimea acquired by the British Museum in 1848 is identified as a Han Chinese monochrome figured silk. Pieces of the same cloth are also in the Hermitage, Leningrad. The context of the find and the associated grave furniture are re-examined and a production date for the silk within the first century B.C. or early first century A.D. is proposed
Loanwards and roman expansion in North‐West Europe
In this article the author reviews the evidence which loanwords supply for the character of cultural contact in north‐west Europe during the Roman period. After some brief comments on the general position of borrowed vocabulary, Latin loanwords in British Celtic and in the Germanic dialects are discussed. Words borrowed by the Anglo‐Saxons from the Romans are also considered. Loanwords passing in the opposite direction, from Germanic and Celtic i…

Textile manufacture in the Northern Roman Provinces
Borrowed Names for Borrowed Things
In discussing contemporary wool production the Elder Pliny comments (NH, VIII, 192): 'oddments of wool from the fullers" coppers are used for stuffing bolsters-an invention of the Gauls, I think; at any rate, the process is distinguished by Gallic terms today

Soft-Finished Textiles In Roman Britain
The achievements of the textile industry in Roman Britain are often underestimated as a result of the meagreness of our available evidence. The Edict on maximum prices issued by Diocletian in A.D. 301 shows that British capes ( byrri ) commanded high prices on the markets of the Empire, and that in the late third century A.D. British rugs ( tapetia ) were the best in the world. In view of the competition from the traditional centres of rug manufa…

The Byrrus Britannicus
In an attempt to halt the serious inflation in the later Roman Empire, Diocletian (n. 1) in A.D. 301 issued, in the form of an edict, a tariff-list of maximum permitted prices for consumer goods and of minimum wages for certain classes of labourer. He addressed it to the provincials of the whole empire (n. 2) (orbi universo) and appealed for their wholehearted co-operation in carrying it out. For us, it is a mine of vital information about the ec…
