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

Abstract. 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. Digital reconstructions and virtual reality applications result in many cases the only chance to explore these archaeological sites.

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.

Accordingly, various bodies of maritime law emerged in the medieval era to handle the consequences ofsuch events.

The project on the organization of trade relations between China and other countries arose in the second half of the II century BC.

Therefore in 1877 the German geographer F.F. von Richtgofen called this route giving the chance for establishment of business contacts, cultural dialogue, promoting to mutual enrichment of large civilizations,—“A Silk Road”.

In the history of the ancient world, water plays an important role as the quickest way to move from one site to the other, for religious reasons, as a way to reach the Otherworld. This last aspect is analysed in the paper starting from Mycenaean <em>larnakes</em>, passing through Oriental myth, Greek ways of death, arriving in Villanovan Italy and Sardinia from Iron Age. It becomes a long journey following the idea of Okeanos as the limit between our world and the Other one, the navigation toward the unknown, the Otherworld of Orientalizing and Archaic phases in Etruria with the painted tombs.

AbstractIn ancient navigation, the safety of a ship depended in no small measure on the stability of her anchors, and this crucial role at sea was not overlooked in the ritual symbolism of maritime communities. Accordingly, there is a general consensus on the fact that the anchors deposited at Eastern Mediterranean Bronze Age temples were important carriers of meaning for seafaring groups. Nevertheless, little effort has been made to understand the role of anchors in the conceptual world of the ancient seafarers beyond the fact that they were powerful symbols of maritimity.

For this reason, the aim of this contribution is twofold: (1) to evaluate to what extent visibility was reduced at night, and (2) to understand what kind of strategies (if any) could be put in place to overcome the difficulties o
