Abstract:

‘Lord Proteus: the saviour of the Hellenes, this watchman of Pharos, was built by Sostratos, son of Dexiphanes, a Cnidian. In Egypt there are no mountain-peaks, as in the islands: but low lies the breakwater where ships may harbour. Therefore this tower, cleaving the sky straight and upright, shines in the daytime countless leagues away: and all night long the sailor who runs with the waves shall see a great light blazing from its summit. And he may run even to the Bull's horn, and yet not miss the god of safety, O Proteus, whosoever sails this way.’So, in Denys Page's translation, runs the co

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Underwater photogrammetry in archaeology in Egypt is a completely new experience applied for the first time on the submerged archaeological site of the lighthouse of Alexandria situated on the eastern extremity of the ancient island of Pharos at the foot of Qaitbay Fort at a depth of 2 to 9 metres. In 2009/2010, the CEAlex launched a 3D photogrammetry data-gathering programme for the virtual reassembly of broken artefacts. In 2013 and the beginning of 2014, with the support of the Honor Frost Foundation, methods were developed and refined to acqu

Abstract:

This paper reports a preliminary survey of one of humanity's most historic harbors--Alexandria, Egypt. It constitutes one phase of a broader joint land/sea examination of the largest and most famous city to bear Alexander the Great's name. The research overall had two goals: 1) to resolve locational uncertainties concerning the city's past configuration, particularly its Ptolemaic antecedents; and 2) to compare electronic remote sensing survey technologies with Remote Viewing generally, and the applications methodology developed by the Mobius Groups specifically.

Abstract:

Abstract In the major port city of Patara on the southern coast of Roman Asia Minor, excavations unearthed a pharos (lighthouse) with an inscription that referred to an antipharos (a structure ‘opposite’ the lighthouse). It is unknown where the antipharos stood in Patara’s harbour, and scholars’ brief speculations about its location all assume that the antipharos was a second lighthouse. Yet a number of factors combine to suggest that there was only one pharos at Patara, including cautious Roman nocturnal sailing practices, the norm of single lighthouses in the ancient world, evidence of the p

Abstract:

The Church of the Theotokos of the Pharos was a chapel constructed in the eighth century in the midst of the Great Palace of Boukoleon in Constantinople (close to a lighthouse that gave the chapel its name) to house the instruments of Christ's Passion, which were soon joined by other celebrated items including the famous Mandylion of Edessa and numerous other relics. It is first attested in the entry of the Chronicle of Theophanes for the year 769 when it was the site of the wedding of Irene of Athens and Leo IV. After the end of Iconoclasm it was rededicated, an occasion which prompted Photio

Abstract:

For about 50 years after his death the generals of Alexander the Great fought over his succession (323-276 BC); the empire eventually falling apart, this lead to the creation of the three main Hellenistic kingdoms. The age of the Successors is often seen as a period of decline, but in many respects there was continuity, florescence and innovation. Least surprisingly, there were important developments in military technology, but it was also a period of cultural vigour with the foundation of the library in Alexandria and blooming activity in the philosophical schools and Athenian theatre.

Abstract:

Present-day concerns with urban design for pedestrians largely surround the issue of microclimate in streetscapes. Such concerns are not new and have been extensively discussed during the European Renaissance. Western historical references on urban design and microclimate primarily converge on a single source: The octagonal, radial-centric plan of an ideal city in Book I of the Ten Books of Architecture written in the late first century BCE by Marcus Vitruvius Polio. As his own source Vitruvius pointed to the Tower of the Winds in Athens, designed c. 50 BCE by Andronicus of Cyrrhus on an octag

ABSTRACTIntroductionIn robot‐assisted sacrocolpopexy (RSC) for patients with cystocele, accurate identification of the vaginal point Aa from the serosal side is crucial for surgical mesh placement in the appropriate position. We developed a novel Pharus method for exactly locating the point Aa for RSC.MethodsIn the Pharus method, the tip of a rigid endoscope was placed directly on the vaginal point Aa. In a preliminary experiment, we observed LED lights with different wavelengths of 450–870 nm using the Firefly imaging system to evaluate which wavelengths of light were captured by the Firefly

Les phares représentent un patrimoine culturel et technique inestimable qu'il faut conserver le plus longtemps possible. La thèse se concentre sur le cas des phares en maçonnerie construits le long du littoral, exposés aux actions environnementales mais pas à l'action des vagues. Ces phares, construits pour la plupart au cours du 19ème siècle et jusqu'au tout début du 20ème siècle, présentent des désordres structurels. Le but de la thèse est de développer une méthode de diagnostic des pathologies observées sur la base d'un plan de surveillance mis en œuvre sur ouvrage. La thèse est construite

La complexité des mécanismes physiques mis en jeu lors de l'interaction laser-plasma à ultra-haute intensité nécessite de recourir à des simulations PIC particulièrement lourdes. Au cœur de ces codes de calcul, les solveurs de Maxwell pseudo-spectraux d'ordre élevé présentent de nombreux avantages en termes de précision numérique. Néanmoins, ces solveurs ont un coût élevé en termes de ressources nécessaires. En effet, les techniques de parallélisation existantes pour ces solveurs sont peu performantes au-delà de quelques milliers de coeurs, ou induisent un important usage mémoire, ce qui limit

J.-C. dans le lac Nemi, puis à la récupération d'une partie de la cargaison de l'épave antique d'Anticythère en 1901 grâce aux pêcheurs d'éponges grecs, ainsi qu’à la découverte en 1907 de l'épave romaine de Mahdia en Tunisie.

La navigation sur l’arc atlantique à l’époque romaine est un sujet immense qui pâtit encore trop souvent de l’avis sceptique de chercheurs obnubilés par la Méditerranée.

Aussi l’étude de l’organisation du commerce atlantique sur les voies fluviales et maritimes, de La Corogne à Boulogne-sur-Mer, a-t-elle abouti à l’établissement d’une typologie « at
