Rome and the Social Role of Élite Villas in its Suburbs
ISBN: 9781407302492 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Following on from his earlier 2006 work on the suburban villas of Campania, Geoff Adams here turns his attention to the villas of the suburban environs of Rome itself. He uses both literary and archaeological evidence, but his principal method of enquiry is via a statistical survey of the architecture of the villas. Of particular interest are the ratio's of public to private space, and the percentages of space set aside for leisure and entertainment. Other types of villas (rural, urban, coastal) are also assessed, in order that the particular social functions of the suburban villa may be...

ISBN: 9781407300870 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. For one of the most isolated provinces in the Roman Empire, the archaeology of Roman Britain has been one of the most researched areas. However, the coverage is not complete and this study focuses on one of the neglected areas - what the tombstones of Roman Britain reveal about epigraphy, gender and familial relations throughout the 1st and 3rd centuries AD. Much of this study refers to the Romanisation of Britain during this period of time. Chapter 1 looks at the social significance of tombstones and burial customs; Chapter 2 contains the analysis by categorization of gender and age;...

Power and Religious Acculturation in Romano-Celtic Society: An examination of archaeological sites in Gloucestershire
ISBN: 9781407303871 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The intention of the present study is to determine two key elements: to ascertain the extent of Romanisation in the region of Gloucestershire (south-west England), and to examine the dominating profile of the native elites within this acculturation process. Both the villas and the Romano-Celtic temples provide insight into these elements, but in different sociological spheres. However, if a connection between the two types of structures can be drawn then the possibility for understanding the romanitas of such constructions is improved exponentially. In many ways, both the villas and...

ISBN: 9781841719740 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. One of the most significant features in the suburbium of Roman cities throughout Italy were the villae suburbanae. Modern scholarship has undertaken a large amount of research into the residential properties and lifestyles of the Roman nobility, and the Roman villa has been a prime subject area in this regard. But villae suburbanae have only received limited detailed analysis from these scholars. To this end, this study examines both the literary and archaeological evidence relating to villae suburbanae in an effort to gain a better understanding of this type of residence. The first...
