This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main body of this volume is a comprehensive gazetteer of sites in the Roman province of Moesia Superior, providing details of settlement in the Pre-Roman Iron Age, the Roman Empire and in Late Antiquity, as well as full references. Introductory chapters present an analysis of changes in settlement patterns across the period. The author finds little evidence for continuity across the period of the Roman conquest, but argues that changes such as the abandonment of fortified hilltop settlements may already have been in motion in the years prior to the conquest. The role of military vici in economic development through the Roman period is explored and considerable settlement expansion in the Late Antique period discussed.

Download or read book Linear a Decipherment written by Stuart L. Harris and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-02-17 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Linear A Decipherment cracks the code of the written language of Minoan Crete. The breakthrough came from recognizing a single word, tulos, meaning 'comes to' in Finnish at the end of a list of accounting figures. Because of all the work done in a similar script called Linear B, the complete decipherment of the basic syllabary was accomplished in one evening. The details, however, took three years because of having to learn how to read a syllabary and simultaneously constructing a matching dictionary with tens of thousands of words. As everyone hoped, the translations led to the identification of who founded Minoan Crete. The key was to recognize that Frisian history matched Greek history, only the names were different. Teunis became Tunisia, Phoenicia became Phoenix, Wodin became Cadmos. The great advantage of Frisian history is that it provides exact dates: Minoans colonized both Crete and Tyre in 2093 BC.
