Le Gall on the solar orientation of the Roman camps, towns and centuriation. Le Gall is giving us a detailed description of the Latin literature regarding this orientation. The article, that was published in 1975 in the Mélanges de l'école française de Rome is therefore a fundamental reading so as not to get biased by any suggestion about solar orientation, that we can find in modern literature.","PeriodicalId":379421,"journal":{"name":"AARN: Historical Archaeology (Topic)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116390336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
