Book excerpt: Der vorliegende Band ist die vierte von Gilbert Wiplinger, diesmal in Verbindung mit Wolfram Letzner, herausgegebene Publikation eines Frontinus-Symposiums als BABESCH-Supplementband zur historischen Wasserwirtschaft. Schon im Verlauf des Symposiums ,,DE AQUAEDUCTU ATQUE AQUA URBIUM LYCIAE PAMPHYLIAE PISIDIAE - The Legacy of Sextus Julius Frontinus" (BABESCH-Suppl. 27) im Herbst 2014 stellte sich die Frage nach einer Folgeveranstaltung, f�r die sich Trier mit seinen r�mischen Gro�bauten und einer Verkn�pfung zur Geschichte der Frontinus-Gesellschaft anbot. So konnte die Gesellschaft mit diesem Symposium hier auch ihr 40-j�hriges Bestehen mit einer Festveranstaltung begehen. Im ersten Abschnitt des Bandes wird der Festakt zur Feier des 40-j�hrigen Jubil�ums der Frontinus-Gesellschaft dokumentiert. Dieser beinhaltet die Erfolgsgeschichte der Gesellschaft, den Festvortrag, die Verleihung der Frontinus-Medaille mit der Laudatio sowie der Dankesrede des Geehrten mit neuen Forschungsergebnissen zum Değirmendere Aqu�dukt von Ephesos. Der zweite Abschnitt ist dem Veranstaltungsort Trier gewidmet: Die Geschichte der Stadt wird anhand der ,,Highlights" der r�mischen Ausstellung im Rheinischen Landesmuseum erz�hlt und von deren urbanistischer Entwicklung berichtet. Die Trierer Ruwerleitung und die Barbara- bzw. Kaiserthermen sind dem Wasser gewidmet. Der dritte Abschnitt behandelt juristische Quellen sowie neue Forschungsmethoden in der Aqu�duktforschung. Zum ersten Thema wird das moderne Wasserrecht den Texten von Frontinus gegen�ber gestellt, dann wird die Herausforderung juristischer Quellen bei der Erforschung r�mischer Wasserversorgungssysteme aufzeigt. Zum zweiten Thema z�hlen die mit GPS und Photogrammetrie unterst�tzten Dokumentationsmethoden an den Aqu�dukten Roms und einfachere Methoden in Antiochia ad Cragum. Der vierte Abschnitt besch�ftigt sich mit Aqu�dukten und Qanaten: Die gro�e Zahl an Fernwasserleitungen in der T�rkei in Katalogform, eine Inschrift der Druckrohrleitung von Alatri in Latium, die Aqua Alexandrina in Rom, der r�mische Aqu�dukt von Lissabon, die Wasserleitungen und B�der von Lebna auf Kreta, r�mische M�nzen zu Aqu�dukten und zum Wassermanagement, das Almstollensystem im M�nchsberg in Salzburg sowie zwei Beitr�ge zu Qanaten in Luxemburg sind Themen dieses Abschnittes. Der n�chste Abschnitt ist den Thermen, Nymph�en und anderen innerst�dtischen Wassernutzungen gewidmet: Die Stabianer Thermen in Pompeji, die Caracallathermen von Rom, die r�mischen Heilthermen von Aqua Flaviae sind Beitr�ge zum ersten, die unter Nero und Domitian errichteten Nymph�en am Palatin, und die Nymph�en in den griechischen Provinzen vor Hadrian zum zweiten Thema, wozu auch noch das sog. Mettius-Modestos-Tor von Patara als Wassermonument z�hlt. Das Macellum von Sagalassos ist der einzige Beitrag zur innerst�dtischen Wassernutzung. Im letzten Abschnitt sind verschieden Themen zusammengefasst: Wasserspeicherung in den r�mischen Goldbergwerken auf der Iberischen Halbinsel, Druckleitungen mit einem neuen Wasserturm aus Ostia und r�mische Wasserh�hne, Wasserknappheit aus r�mischer Sicht in italienischen Regionen, Wasserversorgung im Libanon, Wasserm�hlen im Bereich des Rheinischen Braunkohleabbaus und medizinische Aspekte von trinkwasserbedingter Bleivergiftungen im deutschsprachigen Raum. Das Symposium wurde mit Exkursionen zu arch�ologischen St�tten und Museen nach Luxemburg, Frankreich und im Raum Trier abgerundet.

Download or read book After Monte Alb n written by Jeffrey P. Blomster and published by . This book was released on 2008-03-30 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After Monte Albán reveals the richness and interregional relevance of Postclassic transformations in the area now known as Oaxaca, which lies between Central Mexico and the Maya area and, as contributors to this volume demonstrate, achieved cultural centrality in pan-Mesoamerican networks. Large nucleated states throughout Oaxaca collapsed after 700 C.E., including the great Zapotec state centered in the Valley of Oaxaca, Monte Albán. Elite culture changed in fundamental ways as small city-states proliferated in Oaxaca, each with a new ruling dynasty required to devise novel strategies of legitimization. The vast majority of the population, though, sustained continuity in lifestyle, religion, and cosmology. Contributors synthesize these regional transformations and continuities in the lower Rio Verde Valley, the Valley of Oaxaca, and the Mixteca Alta. They provide data from material culture, architecture, codices, ethnohistoric documents, and ceramics, including a revised ceramic chronology from the Late Classic to the end of the Postclassic that will be crucial to future investigations. After Monte Albán establishes Postclassic Oaxaca's central place in the study of Mesoamerican antiquity. Contributors include Jeffrey P. Blomster, Bruce E. Byland, Gerardo Gutierrez, Byron Ellsworth Hamann, Arthur A. Joyce, Stacie M. King, Michael D. Lind, Robert Markens, Cira Martínez López, Michel R. Oudijk, and Marcus Winter.
