Extractions: Glassmaking in Antiquity by Susan Hampton Glass vase with trailing patterns Introduction Origin Myth Map of Roman Empire Pictures of terms ... Bibliography Introduction The origin of glass is not precisely known. Glass making has been around for millenia, but the art of glass blowing is a more recent invention which originated around 50 B.C.. There are many different methods of shaping glass, as well as different ways to color it. Thousands of examples of ancient glass have survived, and we can examine them to compare ancient techniques with modern practices. There are also a few ancient glass-blowing sites, and, while they are not well preserved, they are of some interest. Since there are no written records of the actual process of glass blowing, I will give comparative evidence from colonial Jamestown in Virginia. In our high-tech, fast-paced world of modern conveniences we take so many things for granted. With the mass production of so many things, such as cloth, glass, and even food, we have lost touch with the actual processes necessary to make these essential items. Glass was at one point in history a very valuable commodity available only in small sizes and to the extremely wealthy. With the invention of glass blowing, glass became a material accessible to the general public. It is amazing to think that sand, sodium carbonate, often formed by burning seaweed, and lime can be transformed into a substance with limitless possibilities. Glass is a beautiful medium which can be used to make household items such as windows and mirrors, or transformed into delicate art. There is something intriguing about the way a glob of molten glass can be transformed into magnificent objects. Each piece of glass that is found reflects "the ideas of its maker, of the techniques, practices, and styles alive at the very moment at which it was made." (Zerwick, 7) Something about glass draws me to it. Is it the duality of its nature, so hard and beautiful and yet so fragile? Thomas Buechner expressed my instinctive feelings about glass very eloquently when he said

Extractions: Undergraduate Program Graduate Program Prospective Incoming ... History Home UNC's ancient field program in the Dept. of History equips students for teaching and research focused on the civilizations of Greece and Rome, encompassing a chronological span at its broadest from the Minoan and Mycenaean periods in Greece (pre-1000 B.C.) to the rise of Islam in the early seventh century A.D. In addition, for teaching purposes, students are encouraged to gain a basic grasp of the history of the ancient Near East and the Middle Ages. Normally the program has the capacity to admit only one or two students each year. Demonstrated aptitude for historical study is looked for among applicants. The writing sample (which need not relate to an ancient topic) is therefore an important part of any application. Applicants should also confirm explicitly that, as a minimum, they are qualified to proceed to graduate-level courses in either Greek or Latin language (or both) on entry, and that they have made good progress in whichever of these two ancient languages they have not yet brought to this level. Prospective applicants who anticipate being less advanced in their language study on entry should raise this ability before Thesis and dissertation topics chosen by students naturally reflect the areas where the two faculty members are best qualified to direct them. Prof. McCoy has special interests in the political, social and cultural history of archaic and classical Athens, and in Greek warfare; in addition, he directs the UNC-CH Summer School Abroad program in Greece. Prof. Talbert's expertise covers the administrative, economic and social history of the early Roman empire (first three centuries A.D.). He also has a strong interest in ancient geography and 'world view', and has taken the lead in exploiting modern cartographic technology and expertise to map the ancient physical and cultural landscape.

Extractions: In the popular mind, the Roman Empire is associated with mad emperors, Christians thrown to the lions, wild orgies, and lead pipes. HIS/CLC 420 will explore these popular images (well, maybe not the orgies) in the course of its survey of Roman history from the defeat of Antony and Cleopatra in 31 BC to the Gothic invasions of the fifth century AD. Among those topics receiving special attention will be Roman power politics, the rise of Christianity, Roman society and culture, and life in the far-flung provinces of the Empire. Readings will include such classical authors as Tacitus, Suetonius, Juvenal, and Josephus.

http://www.ualberta.ca/~csmackay/CLASS_378/Syllabus.html

Extractions: The course surveys the history of the high Roman Empire. No previous knowledge of Roman history is required. The course forms the third part of a four-term survey of Roman history down to the deposition of the last Roman Emperor in the West in AD 476. Each term's course is fully independent, and there is no requirement to take the later courses. Course books (both available at the campus bookstore): Format of the exams will be provided ahead of time. All work will be assigned a nine-point ("Stanine") grade according to the following approximate scheme (the actual distribution may be changed somewhat on the basis of the percentage marks given): 100-92%: 9; 91-86: 8; 85-80: 7; 79-72: 6; 71-66: 5; 65-60: 4; 59-50: 3; 49-30: 2; 29-0: 1. Class procedure: There is no textbook for this course. Instead, the narrative for the course is provided via written "lectures" available on the "web" (available at www.ualberta.ca/~csmackay under "CLASS 378," where you will find the reading schedule on the opposite side of this sheet with the relevant links). Students are expected to read the web material for each class. Sometimes this is the sole reading for the class, but additional reading from the course book or course pack is also assigned. This reading consists entirely of primary source material, and it will be discussed with the students in class. Hence, it is imperative to prepare these reading before class, and class attendance is obligatory. Exams will cover all assigned readings and the discussions in class.

Extractions: Strathearn Perthshire Scotland History Ancient Times The oldest traces of people in Perthshire are of burial mounds, standing stones and circles from 3000BC. Given the widespread traces of these people the population of Strathearn must have been significant, however little is known about them. For an interesting perspective try Ancient Energy of the Earth in relation to the standing stones and circles of the Crieff area. Around 1000BC the first Celts known as Caledonians arrived. They came into recorded history by making none too friendly contact with the forces of the Roman Empire in 84AD. A great battle took place at Mons Grampius possibly somewhere in Strathearn. The Romans claim to have won this battle but only their version of events remains. Across the southern edge of Strathearn they then built a number of forts (Bertha, Fendoch, Strageath and Ardoch) connected by a line of watchtowers and fortlets. This appears to be the first Roman linear frontier (40 years earlier than Hadrian's Wall). Clearly the Romans considered the Caledonians to the northern side of Strathearn a significant threat. The Romans withdrew after a short time. Hadrian's great stone Wall, 170km+ to the south, was constructed 122-8.

http://www.friesian.com/hist-1.htm

Extractions: down to the Roman Empire The Hellenistic Age suffers from some of the same disabilities as Late Antiquity, i.e. it doesn't measure up to the brilliance of the Golden Age of Greece and of late Republican and early Imperial Rome. However, the Hellenistic world, although mostly not bothering with characteristic Greek experiments like democracy, is where Greece actually became a cosmopolitan culture, a sort of pre-adaptation for the Roman world. Just saying that the Bible begins with the book of Genesis , a Greek word, reflects the degree to which the older cultures of the Middle East came to express themselves in Greek. Several of the Hellenistic Kingdoms, mainly in Anatolia (Armenia, Pontus, Cappadocia, etc.), are domains of non-Greek peoples. Meanwhile, although the literature does not seem as brilliant, mathematics, science, and technology develop rapidly. Archimedes very nearly develops calculus. Eratosthenes estimates the size of the Earth with an accuracy that will not be surpassed until Modern times. Hero of Alexandria builds a kind of steam engine. This remains little more than a toy, but the same cannot be said of the immense engines, often of war, that Hellenstic technology otherwise produces. It is all inherited by the Romans, perhaps symbolicly with the killing of Archimedes at Syracuse by a Roman soldier in 212 (during the Second Punic War, 218-201). All of the tables are mainly based on E.J. Bickerman
