This work presents the history of ancient Sardinia not as a peripheral, poor island, but as a vast, populous, and fertile province deeply inserted in the Roman world. It demonstrates how Roman legacies profoundly influence the plural identity of today's Sardinia.
The work aims to present the history of ancient Sardinia, no longer understood as a peripheral, closed and poor island, but as one of the provinces most inserted in the Roman ecumene: a land according to Polybius vast, populous and fertile. The volume collects and summarizes the heritage of research and scientific commitment carried out in recent decades, the result of projects of increasingly international scope and increasingly technologically advanced research methodologies. The work benefits from the long collaboration with Joyce Reynolds and explores the boundary between change and continuity starting from the possible quadripartition of the sub-provincial territory between the main cities (Carales, Tharros, Turris Libisonis, Olbia). It addresses the theme of the ancient landscape in a rural setting, between Romania and Barbaria. And then the economic and social aspects, the relationship between history and geography, the large estates for community use, the land registry, the farms entrusted to the colonists, the possession by important senatorial families, the roads, the bridges, the milestones, the contribution of the Sardinians to the army, legions and auxiliary units, and war fleet. There are many new features and a very up-to-date bibliography. The aim of this volume is to demonstrate that the Roman legacies profoundly influence the plural identity of today’s Sardinia, an expression of a long history that in some way also conditions contemporary society.
This book assembles new insights into humanity’s developments during the Last Glacial Maximum in Western Europe. It gathers up-to-date research on the Solutrean techno-complex, exploring excavations, lithic analysis, human-environmental interactions, and artistic expressions.
Challenging theories of mass migration, this book shows that Mesolithic hunter-gatherers used a dense maritime network to transfer domesticated species from the East. Based on 25 years of excavations, it reveals how these Aegean populations drove the Neolithisation process.
Explore the epic history of the Americas, from hunter-gatherers to vast cities. This book uses revolutionary genomic science to trace the past, present, and future of Native peoples, uncovering a story essential to all humankind.
This volume provides a multifaceted overview of the study of stone tools. With case studies from various continents centred on hunter-gatherer communities, it explores tool production and use to address major questions about past human economic and social behaviour.
This is the first complete synthesis of research on the Upper Palaeolithic archaeology of the Caucasus. It discusses the cultural and subsistence changes of modern humans from 40,000 to 10,000 years ago, in the context of environmental change and surrounding Eurasian cultures.
This is the first scholarly work in English on the history of Limassol, Cyprus, from antiquity to the 1570 Ottoman conquest. Six scholars explore Limassol’s political, social, economic, artistic, and cultural history.
The influence of Ancient Greece on contemporary western civilization is irrefutable. The multivalent nature of such an influence is reflected in the wide-ranging essays of this volume, which cover such areas as economy, art, architecture, philosophy, medicine, and mythology.
Using experimental archaeology, this book explains how Aberdeenshire’s Recumbent Stone Circles were built. It reveals how prehistoric communities created a network of inter-aligned stone circles, using them to synchronise time and space through their shared astronomy.
Tumuli and megaliths across Eurasia are rich in mystery. This collection unites 74 authors from 16 countries, offering diverse perspectives. Accessible and illustrated, it’s for anyone in history, archaeology, or heritage, or interested in past cultures and ancient architecture.
The cradle of the Mystery Cults is the Aegean, where initiates achieved cosmic consciousness. This book argues that prehistoric Minyans and Minoans, possessing advanced pre-Flood knowledge, sailed the Atlantic and reached the copper mines of America in the third millennium.
This work reinterprets the history of Sardinia, not as an isolated hinterland, but as a province well-inserted in the Roman ecumene. Drawing on decades of advanced research, it explores the persistence of Nuragic and Punic elements despite the push towards “Romanisation”.
