Book Description
Excerpt from Aquae Solis, or Notices of Roman Bath "O that I had the Thracian Poet's harp For to awake out of th' infernal shade Those antique Caesars, sleeping long in dark, The which this Ancient City whilom made: Or that I had Amphion's instrument, To quicken with his vital notes' accord, The stony joints of these old walls now rent, By which the Ausonian light might be restored: Or that at least I could with pencil fine Fashion the portraits of these palaees, By pattern of great Virgil's spirit divine: I would assay with that which in me is, To build with level of my humble style That which no hands can ever more compile." - Spenser.

The Roman Empire and the Indian Ocean
Author: Raoul McLaughlin
Publisher: Pen and Sword
ISBN: 1473840953
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 491
Book Description
This study of ancient Roman shipping and trade across continents reveals the Roman Empire’s far-reaching impact in the ancient world. In ancient times, large fleets of Roman merchant ships set sail from Egypt on voyages across the Indian Ocean. They sailed from Roman ports on the Red Sea to distant kingdoms on the east coast of Africa and southern Arabia. Many continued their voyages across the ocean to trade with the rich kingdoms of ancient India. Along these routes, the Roman Empire traded bullion for valuable goods, including exotic African products, Arabian incense, and eastern spices. This book examines Roman commerce with Indian kingdoms from the Indus region to the Tamil lands. It investigates contacts between the Roman Empire and powerful African kingdoms, including the Nilotic regime that ruled Meroe and the rising Axumite Realm. Further chapters explore Roman dealings with the Arab kingdoms of southern Arabia, including the Saba-Himyarites and the Hadramaut Regime, which sent caravans along the incense trail to the ancient rock-carved city of Petra. The first book to bring these subjects together in a single comprehensive study, The Roman Empire and the Indian Ocean reveals Rome’s impact on the ancient world and explains how international trade funded the legions that maintained imperial rule.

The Making of Medieval Rome
Author: Hendrik Dey
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108985696
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 956
Book Description
Integrating the written sources with Rome's surviving remains and, most importantly, with the results of the past half-century's worth of medieval archaeology in the city, The Making of Medieval Rome is the first in-depth profile of Rome's transformation over a millennium to appear in any language in over forty years. Though the main focus rests on Rome's urban trajectory in topographical, architectural, and archaeological terms, Hendrik folds aspects of ecclesiastical, political, social, military, economic, and intellectual history into the narrative in order to illustrate how and why the cityscape evolved as it did during the thousand years between the end of the Roman Empire and the start of the Renaissance. A wide-ranging synthesis of decades' worth of specialized research and remarkable archaeological discoveries, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in how and why the ancient imperial capital transformed into the spiritual heart of Western Christendom.
