Maquette de Rome Quirinus In Roman mythology and religion, Quirinus is an early god of the Roman state. In Augustan Rome, Quirinus was also an epithet of Janus, as Janus Quirinus.[2] His name may be derived from the Sabine word quiris "spear." Etymology[edit] Quirinus is probably an adjective meaning "wielder of the spear" (Quiris, cf. Janus Quirinus). History[edit] Quirinus was originally most likely a Sabine god of war. Religious historian A. The identity of Quirinus and Romulus would find a further point of support in the parallel with Vofionos, the third god in the triad of the Grabovian gods of Iguvium. Depiction[edit] In earlier Roman art, he was portrayed as a bearded man with religious and military clothing. Festivals[edit] His festival was the Quirinalia, held on February 17. Legacy[edit] In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the antagonist's name is Quirinus Quirrell, named for the epithet of Janus, who is a two-faced god, similar to Quirrel, who shared his body with Lord Voldemort. Notes[edit]

Nordmenn sloss i den romerske hær De sloss for Roma, talte et fremmed språk, og brakte penger, utstyr og verdigjenstander med seg når de vendte hjem. Flere funn tyder på at nordmenn var soldater i den romerske hær, gjenskapt i filmserien "Roma" som avsluttes på TV Norge i dag. Direkte bevis, i form av for eksempel skriftlige kilder, mangler. Men indisiene er etter hvert mange på at krigere fra dagens Norge under romertiden reiste sørover til det kontinentale Europa for å tjenestegjøre i Romas legioner. Funn av våpen, belte- og remmebeslag, soldatkar og delvis også mynter, peker mot mye tettere bånd mellom dagens Norge som del av Skandinavia og Romerriket enn man til nå har trodd.- Ja, jeg tror datidens nordmenn gjorde tjeneste i den romerske hær, sier professor Heid Gjøstein Resi ved Kulturhistorisk Museum, Universitetet i Oslo. - Vi har etter hvert konstatert at en rekke gjenstander inkludert våpen som er funnet i Norge og som vi tidligere har trodd stammet fra annet hold, i virkeligheten kommer fra Romerrike.

Roman Ruins HD for iPad Not everyone can afford a quick jaunt around the Mediterranean to view the ruins of ancient Rome, but there's a new iPad app that offers a reasonably facsimile without the whole traveling the world aspect. Roman Ruins HD for iPad includes 1,500 images of ruins from all over the Mediterranean with massive pillars, detailed stonework, and more. It's not a small download, though. The app provides a variety of ways to dive into the images. If you prefer to find a specific site from the more than 350 listed in the app, there is an alphabetical list, as well as a list organized by country and a simple map. While most of the photos are quite nice looking, some seem a little lower-resolution. The app itself is responsive and uses a lot of exaggerated animations as you tap around. Roman Ruins HD clocks in at 215MB, so make sure you have some WiFi handy.

Spartacus and class struggle in ancient Rome Spartacus and class struggle in ancient Rome Graham Stevenson Roman agriculture was originally dominated by free peasants, each cultivating land for their own family needs. It was not so much that slavery was necessarily the dominant means of production in the heyday of Rome; it may well in fact have been overshadowed to some extent in societal terms by a combination of small scale subsistence farming and by artisanal production. Intrinsically linked to the use of slavery as an economic tool was the need for constant territorial expansion. With the peasant away at the wars, more and more prisoners of war were sent back to Rome as slaves with more and more victories. With legitimate forms of protest denied them, the Roman plebeians resorted to military tactics in abortive but violent attempts to end the widespread debts and break up the latifundia. Slave rebellion before Spartacus Slaves did not have much of a common identity, except where they were a conquered people.

Plan de Rome (Photo : D. Lauvernier) Le Plan de Rome est une maquette en plâtre d'environ 70 m² (11m / 6m), réalisée à l'échelle 1/400, qui représente les 3/5 de la ville de Rome à l'époque de Constantin, au début du IVe siècle après J.-C. Son créateur, l'architecte Paul Bigot (né à Orbec en 1870, mort à Paris en 1942), Grand Prix de Rome en 1900, a consacré la majeure partie de sa vie à cette reconstitution de la ville de Rome. De manière à être manipulable, la maquette n'est pas constituée d'un seul bloc : elle est divisée en 102 modules qui s'assemblent parfaitement pour créer la ville. Rythme. Rythme.
