Abstract:
The Gulf of Fos ancient port complex, closely linked to the Roman colony of Arles, was one of the most important in the western Mediterranean Sea during the early Empire and, paradoxically, one of the most poorly known. The setting up of a collective research program on this complex was an opportunity to synthesise the abundant ancient documentation, a step prior to the launching of new field investigations. New explorations, excavations and surveys carried out in particular near the Pointe de Saint-Gervais, at Fos-sur-Mer, as well as studies on artifacts and navigation, make it possible to re

Abstract:
The paper describes basic financial elements of commercial navigation during the Roman and medieval period. These primarily include the persons who financed the voyage, as well as other partners as determined by law. The legal regulation in question concerns maritime loan, a deposit used as an instrument of security for the return of loan ever since the Ancient times by the Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, and other maritime nations in the Eastern Mediterranean. The oldest legal regulations related to maritime loan can be found in the Roman law, the Rhodian Law on Jettison of Cargo, and the Rhodia

Abstract:
This research explores a comparative analysis of the Ancient and Medieval Periods of the Mediterranean World. The chronological framework of this work spans from approximately 3000 BC to 1500 AD. This examination can shed light on the experiences of seafaring communities and interpretations surrounding their development alongside the thrill of increased connectivity and maritime exploration. Facilitated trade growth has been linked to political stability and empire expansion, as demonstrated by the Greeks and Romans. Maritime innovations and the development of writing and currency drove the ex

Abstract:
The article is devoted to highlighting the main directions and features of trade and money circulation in Ancient Greece. In the introduction, the author notes that the Kingdom of Egypt and the state entities of Mesopotamia were the first centers of regional trade. A separate "branch" of the trade system of the Mediterranean was made up of numerous polises of Ancient Greece, which were essentially separate states. It was the sea spaces that played a major role in a Greek trade. The latter contributed to the formation, on the one hand, of a unique "Mediterranean world", and on the other - the G

The accessibility to hypogeum archaeological sites is still one of the main challenges for the dissemination of Cultural Heritage knowledge, especially in the territories rich of ancient ruins like the Mediterranean area, where modern cities often hide underground ruins of historical settlements making the accessibility of these sites very difficult or even impossible.

Abstract:
Greek seafaring between the 10th and 6th centuries BCE gave rise to a technical culture centered around navigation, commerce, and international cultural exchange. The Greeks were not a unified nation in the modern sense, confined to a territory centralized in Attica or the Peloponnese. Instead, they were a collection of independent city-states (poleis) spread across the Mediterranean, from the Iberian Peninsula to the Black Sea. The intense commercial relationships among these Greek settlements and with other peoples wove a Mediterranean cultural web that fostered a genuine spirit of intercult

Jettison is the practice of throwing goods overboard in order to lighten and consequently save a vessel, as well as the lives ofthose on board. This phenomenon has long been part of seafaring, with the dangers of navigation not having changedsince ancient times.

Abstract:
Distinct geographies, where areas of sea were demarcated not only by land, but also by climate and current, helped to create different cultures of navigation that for centuries followed individual trajectories. ‘Early navigational cultures’ explains that the sky was one thing that was shared by ancient navigational cultures. It describes the techniques used by seamen in the Mediterranean, Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, and North Atlantic to register direction and position—the two fundamental variables of navigation. Before the use of a magnetic compass, navigation was also possible using other t

Abstract Between circa 700 and 300 BCE, the ancient Greeks developed a vivid imaginary of the world’s peoples. Ranging from the light-skinned, “gray-eyed Thracians” of the distant north to the “dark-skinned Ethiopians” of the far south (as the poet Xenophanes would describe around 540 BCE), Greeks envisioned a world populated by human groups with distinct physiognomies. Racialized Commodities traces how Greece’s “racial imaginary”—a confluence of thinking about cultural geography, commodity production, and human physiognomy—emerged out of the context of cross-cultural trade between Greece and

Abstract:
For a long period, Greeks, Phoenicians, and Etruscans frequented, at the same time, the Mediterranean Sea. This forced their seafaring to behave, at the same time, as pirates at sea, to break down competition, and as traders in the emporia, to sell their goods. Navigation was based on the experience of sailors since there were no instruments and methods to estimate sailing parameters. The empirical knowledge of seafarers was based on the observation of environmental and astronomical daymarks, and on their ability to perceive signals from the atmosphere, and from sea animals.

Abstract The Venice is often associated with an image of rich commercial ventures eastwards and trade in the Mediterranean. However, it is worthy of note that for centuries Venice made huge investments westwards to modify the local hydrography and build a sophisticated network of inland waterways. The origin of this system can be traced back to the Middle Ages, when extensive hydraulic works were carried out to modify local watercourses and create artificial canals for commercial and strategic purposes.

It first considers the different sources of energy in the Greek city-states, including heat generated by the sun, wood, and charcoal, before discussing the question regarding the cost of energy and the economic conditions for using steam engines during the period. It then explains how wind energy contributed to economic development in the ancient Mediterranean world, and especially in the Greek city-states, by dramatically lowering transport c

Abstract:
This chapter suggests a new conceptual framework for understanding movement within maritime spaces. Very often scholars who have conceptualised overseas travel and the process of navigational decision making have paid insufficient attention to the reality of sailing in the ancient Mediterranean context. By understanding decision-making as 'contingent' upon moment-to-moment changes in the actors' physical and social reality, we are better equipped to understand the maritime connectivity that defined Roman trade and exchange.

In ancient times, the Mediterranean was a shipbuilding centre of the world; port activities in larger bays and harbours along the Adriatic coast had been developing since prehistory. Remains of ancient ports found along the Adriatic coast testify to the rich history of this area. The paper analyses development of ports of local importance in the area of the town of Zadar. Currently, there are six ports classified as ports of local importance in Zadar area. The aim of the paper is to emphasize the development potentials of these ports.
