Walter Scheidel, Escape from Rome. The Failure of Empire and the Road to Prosperity
This is a long book with a big theory: that innate features in Europe’s geography and culture made it peculiarly empire-proof after the collapse of Rome, and that it is the failure of any empire to control Europe that best explains the exceptional technological, scientific and economic development which gave us the world we have today, in which the majority of us are ‘so much richer, healthier and better educated than our ancestors used to be’ (p…

Where Is the Archaeology and Iconography of Germanic Arianism
This article examines the evidence for Germanic ‘Arianism’ in the exceptionally well preserved buildings and mosaics of Ravenna. Despite theological differences, Arian iconography appears to be almost identical to that of the ‘Catholics’ (e.g. in depictions of Christ in S. Apollinare Nuovo and the Arian Baptistery). Different attitudes to God the Son are only really apparent when supported by texts. However, there are clear material traces of Cat…

Chapter Nine. Jones and the late Roman Economy
This chapter is on Jones and the late Roman economy and it explains why his view of it was so pessimistic in his Later Roman Empire. Before judging as pessimistic Jones' minimalist assessment of late Roman commerce, one needs to view it in a broader context, and be aware of how he described the role of trade in earlier Roman times. In his 1959 article, ?Over-Taxation and the Decline of the Roman Empire?, rates of taxation, a shrinking of the Roma…

The Cambridge Ancient History XIV
Specialized production and exchange
DIFFCULTIES AND EVIDENCE Writing about complexity within the economy of the fifth to the seventh century will never be straightforward, partly because there has been so much debate about the nature of the ‘classical’ Roman economy that preceded it. Was the ‘Roman economy’ really a series of local economies, linked into a broader structure only by the demands of the state and by some limited trade in luxury products? Or was it a unified system in …
Land, labour and settlement
THE ISSUES AND THE EVIDENCE The vast majority of the population of the Roman empire, as in all pre-modern societies, worked on the land. There is a great deal we would like to know about these people: exactly how many they were; how many others they fed (whether artisans, soldiers and clergy, or idle rich); which areas they cultivated, and with what crops and which methods; to what extent their agriculture was specialized and tied into commercial…
The Cambridge Ancient History
With Volume 14 The Cambridge Ancient History concludes its story. This latest volume embraces the wide range of approaches and scholarship which have in recent decades transformed our view of Late Antiquity. In particular, traditional political and social history has been enormously enhanced by integrating the rich evidence of Christian writing, and the constantly expanding results of archaeological research. A picture emerges of a period of cons…
Evidence from Rome for the image of Christ on the Chalke gate in Constantinople
The biography of Pope Zacharias (741-52) in the Liber Pontificalis gives an account of his building-works and embellishments at the papal Lateran palace. After describing a new dining-room ( triclinium ) and an oratory and portico of St. Silvester, the account goes on to say: Fecit autem a fundamentis ante scrinium Lateranensem porticum atque turrem ubi et portas ereas atque cancellos instituit et per figuram Salvatoris ante fores ornavit; et per…
Il Palatino Nel Medioevo
The cities
The Roman empire of the fourth and early fifth centuries remained, as it had always been, city-based, with political, religious and aristocratic life revolving around the civitates and around major capitals. Although their importance remained unchanged, the cities of the late empire differed in several obvious ways from the cities of the earlier Roman world. The three changes, in the political, military and religious role of the cities had a mark…
Continuitists, catastrophists, and the towns of post-Roman northern Italy
‘CONTINUISTI’, CATASTROFISTI E LA CITTÀ DELL'ITALIA SETTENTRIONALE POST-ROMANA Negli ultimi quindici anni si è sviluppato un vivace dibattito sulla natura delle città nell'Italia settentrionale post-Romana. Tale discussione ha avuto luogo poichè resti di questo periodo rinvenuti in recenti scavi urbani si sono rivelati sistematicamente poco appariscenti. In questo articolo l'autore discute i principali articoli e libri — elencati e brevemente des…
Luni and the Ager Lunensis
LUNI E L'AGER LUNENSIS Quattro campagne di ricerca sono state eseguite tra il 1978 e il 1981 nella zona immediatamente circostante la città Romana abbandonata di Luna (Luni) in Liguria. Lo scopo della ricerca era di contribuire a spiegare come una grande città sia fiorita qui in epoca Romana, e perchè sia sparita agli inizi del Medioevo. La ricerca archeologica di superficie (parte 2) ha rivelato poco dell'epoca preistorica e medievale, ma ha ind…

The Surviving Remains of the Leonine Wall. Part II
LE MURA LEONIANE II: IL PASSETTO Le mura leoniane furono costruite intorno alla zona vaticana dopo il sacheggio di S. Pietro da parte dei Saraceni nel 846. Lunghi tratti di queste mura sono ancora conservati. In un primo articolo (Gibson and Ward-Perkins, 1979) gli autori hanno descritto in modo dettagliato il tratto ora racchiuso nei giardini vaticano. In questo articolo forniscono una descrizione ed una documentazione grafica e fotografica dell…

Tutte le due case erano di forma rettangolare lunga e stretta, con due ambienti distinti. La casa I avev…

The Incised Architectural Drawings of Trogir Cathedral
The roofs over both aisles of the thirteenth-century cathedral at Trogir in Jugoslavia are covered in incised full-scale architectural drawings. These can be related to a number of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century additions to the cathedral: above all, the sacristy (1453–5), the baptistry by Andrea Alessi (1467), the Chapel of St. John by Andrea Alessi and Nicolò Fiorentino (1468–88), and the final storey and spire of the tower by Trifun Bokanit …
Excavations at Tuscania, 1973
An article in volume xl of these Papers recorded something of the programme of work which is being undertaken by the British School at Rome, in collaboration with the Italian authorities, on the site of the earthquake-shattered medieval town of Tuscania, in the province of Viterbo some 90 kilometres north-west of Rome. In this article David Whitehouse has given a preliminary sketch of the magnificent series of medieval and post-medieval pottery, …
Excavation and Survey at Tuscania, 1972
On 6 February 1971 the small town of Tuscania, twenty miles west of Viterbo and the same distance north-east of Tarquinia, was the scene of a local but very violent earthquake, which killed a number of people and rendered much of the old town totally uninhabitable. Tuscania (until 1911 Toscanella) is best known to most visitors to Italy for its two magnificent medieval churches, that of San Pietro on the ancient acropolis and that of Santa Maria …
