De arch. 2.8.1, 2.8.8–9, 16–20). Physical examination only began to make a real contribution to the discussion in the last 60 years or so, but advanced analytical techniques have now described the components of both the mortar and the aggregate that make up ancient Roman concrete. Such analysis, however, does not in most cases by itself solve the questions of the chronology of the monuments from which samples have been taken, a particularly crucial problem for the earliest period of the technology in Republican Rome. Progress has been made in C analysis of Roman mortars with hydraulic lime binders, but the accuracy may never be sufficient for the fine chronological distinctions needed by architectural historians. This problem of chronology is the starting point of Mogetta’s (M.) analysis of the early history of Roman concrete construction on land. He earlier published two substantial articles that form the basis for several chapters. In this book, which originated as a University of Michigan dissertation (2013), he “aims to elucidate the pattern of implementation of that discovery across the constellation of higherorder settlements in the Italian peninsula” (3). This approach relies on careful analysis of the archaeological basis for dating early concrete structures in Rome and elsewhere on the Italian peninsula. M. concludes that concrete construction did not appear as the result of a centralized process in the city of Rome during the 3rd c. BCE, but rather it evolved at several centers in the Italian peninsula during the first half of the 2nd c. BCE. The topics are densely argued and deeply documented, both challenging and rewarding the careful","PeriodicalId":45533,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Roman Archaeology","volume":"36 1","pages":"249 - 257"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42442189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their gridded streets and masonry buildings respond to a range of survey techniques, and the results are highly visual. Improved rapid survey techniques involving multi-sensor arrays mean that large areas can be covered rapidly. It is also cheap, relative to other forms of archaeological investigation, making it attractive to those working at universities, where research budgets grow ever tighter. Little wonder then that the last two decades have seen an ever-increasing number of surveys on those town sites unencumbered by modern development. In the UK, Wroxeter, Silchester, Caistor-by-Norwich, and Verulamium have all seen large-scale geophysical investigation, while elsewhere in the Roman Empire major surveys have been carried out at Carnuntum (Austria), Ammaia (Portugal), Falerii Novii (Italy), and many other sites.","PeriodicalId":45533,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Roman Archaeology","volume":"36 1","pages":"243 - 248"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43808886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After pioneering work by the polymath Sir Themistocles Zammit in the early decades of the 20th c., the baton was picked up again by Anthony Bonanno, who singlehandedly has greatly advanced knowledge of Roman Malta over the past 50 years through copious influential papers in journals and conference proceedings, as well as in two books. Monographs by others have been dedicated to such subjects as the Roman economy of the Maltese islands, and Roman pottery from Malta and Gozo, both local products and imports. Until now, however, there has been no single volume devoted exclusively to the Roman structures that have been excavated or recorded (and in some cases survive), nor to the disiecta membra of many others, which have in the past been largely ignored. Awarm welcome, therefore, to this handsome volume, which is magnificently illustrated in color throughout, apart of course from historical images that have been taken from the archives. The color photographs are by Daniel Cilia, who has made major contributions to Maltese archaeology in other publications over the years. His stunning aerial views in this book of the villa at Ta’ Kaċċatura (46) and of the temples at Ras ir-Raħeb (48) and Tas-Silġ (202–3) are a particular feast for the eye.","PeriodicalId":45533,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Roman Archaeology","volume":"36 1","pages":"215 - 226"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42907095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
