Roman Record

May 9th, 2010 admin

If Romans started keeping temperature records in 200BC, wouldn’t the next 30 decades be the hottest on record?

Aren’t modern AGW believers being a bit disingenuous with the “hottest decade on Record” term, since the 130 year ‘Human Record’ is a bit short compared to the 500-600 year warming periods we see in the Natural Record?

(Roman Era Warming 200BC – 400AD)

For a long time I actually answered ‘questions’ like this, but that’s because I like to write, having once upon a time, a long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far way been a newspaper reporter for a big city newspaper. Given the current times we live in that line of work seems as quaint as buggy building or changing the ribbon on a typewriter. Arrh..them were the days! What I remember most about what I admit was a relatively short career as San Francisco’s answer to Clark Kent was our unofficial motto…”What they conceal, we reveal!” Which brings us to the series of nonsense questions such as the above. The facts negate this poster’s premise. I will explain: Reporting facts, such as ,who, what, where, why and how requires speaking to the original players. The chain of evidence has to be followed and protected because people’s reputations are at stake. A reporter has to actually speak to the mayor, or the congress critter, or the cop, or for that matter the robber. The city manager, or the fire captain, or the doctor that saved the life of the child and even the child…all of that HAS to happen and be faithfully recorded or there’s no story. But there’s even more. The story has to be confirmed. Several witnesses, a video tape, a hand written letter, the coroners report…all of the parts have to fit. The same thing applies to science. The data has to be collected. The people doing the collecting have to be legitimate. The scientific method has to be followed to the letter. The data has to be checked and rechecked by others, as a reporter’s work is checked by an editor, and God help you if you didn’t follow ALL the rules, or leave something out or worse, put something in. You can do that on the editorial page, but your immediate ‘Perry White’ will ream your anatomy if try to slip a smoothie into the mix of a straight news account. Science itself is ‘straight news’. If it’s going to appear on the front page above the fold it damn well better be exact. In the case of the ‘climate change’ story the data is fully factual, as the data has been checked and rechecked, no laws of physics ignored, no ‘opinion’ allowed. The data speaks for itself. If politics entered the picture, the ‘editors’, that’s the entire scientific community, would be more than happy to destroy the career of any scientist who attempted to substitute fiction for fact, or opinion for observed and confirmed data. The ‘deniers’ have a narrative…that narrative states that science is crooked, scientists can’t be trusted, science lies and in the case of climate change science works for the ‘far left liberals’, the socialists and the communists who want to raise your taxes and destroy ‘capitalism’. The narrative includes that man cannot alter the climate and the burning of massive amounts of fossil fuels has no bearing on climate at all. I dunno, folks…my editor, now long gone to that Great Press Room in the Sky would have tossed me out a window if I came in with a fable like that…and rightly so! I don’t want to suggest that ‘deniers’ should be heaved over the parapet, but their rants and raves when stacked up against the data amount to total nonsense, codswallop and pur,unadulterated bull @#$$ ! You can put that on page one..above the fold!

Roman Pottery in the Archaeological Record


$40.25


This book examines how Romans used their pottery and the implications of these practices on the archaeological record. It is organized around a flow model for the life cycle of Roman pottery that includes a set of eight distinct practices: manufacture, distribution, prime use, reuse, maintenance, recycling, discard, reclamation. J. Theodore Pena evaluates how these practices operated, how they have shaped the archaeological record, and the implications of these processes on archaeological research through the examination of a wide array of archaeological, textual, representational, and comparative ethnographic evidence. The result is a rich portrayal of the dynamic that shaped the archaeological record of the ancient Romans that will be of interest to archaeologists, ceramicists, and students of material culture.

The Later Roman Empire


The Later Roman Empire


$30.1


Marked by the shift of power from Rome to Constantinople and the Christianization of the Empire, this pivotal era requires a narrative and interpretative history of its own. Averil Cameron, an authority on later Roman and early Byzantine history and culture, captures the vigor and variety of the fourth century, doing full justice to the enormous explosion of recent scholarship. After a hundred years of political turmoil, civil war, and invasion, the Roman Empire that Diocletian inherited in AD 284 desperately needed the radical restructuring he gave its government and defenses. His successor, Constantine, continued the revolution by adopting–for himself and the Empire–a vibrant new religion: Christianity. The fourth century is an era of wide cultural diversity, represented by figures as different as Julian the Apostate and St. Augustine. Cameron provides a vivid narrative of its events and explores central questions about the economy, social structure, urban life, and cultural multiplicity of the extended empire. Examining the transformation of the Roman world into a Christian culture, she takes note of the competition between Christianity and Neoplatonism. And she paints a lively picture of the new imperial city of Constantinople. By combining literary, artistic, and archaeological evidence. Cameron has produced an exciting record of social change. "The Later Roman Empire" is a compelling guide for anyone interested in the cultural development of late antiquity.

Plautus and Roman Slavery


Plautus and Roman Slavery


$89.95


This book studies a crucial phase in the history of Roman slavery, beginning with the transition to chattel slavery in the third century bce and ending with antiquity’s first large-scale slave rebellion in the 130s bce. Slavery is a relationship of power, and to study slavery – and not simply masters or slaves – we need to see the interactions of individuals who speak to each other, a rare kind of evidence from the ancient world. Plautus’ comedies could be our most reliable source for reconstructing the lives of slaves in ancient Rome. By reading literature alongside the historical record, we can conjure a thickly contextualized picture of slavery in the late third and early second centuries bce, the earliest period for which we have such evidence. The book discusses how slaves were captured and sold; their treatment by the master and the community; the growth of the conception of the slave as “other than human,” and as chattel; and the problem of freedom for both slaves and society.

Frontier and Society in Roman North Africa


Frontier and Society in Roman North Africa


$333.72


This book seeks to define the cultural, social, and economic consequences of the Roman occupation of North Africa (c.50 B.C.250 A.D.), mainly in the semiarid frontierzone of what is today Algeria. It also offers a fresh look at the development and purpose of the north African frontiersystem. Through detailed examination of the regions archaeological and epigraphic record, including the marriagepatterns recorded on its surviving, funerary inscriptions, Cherry demonstrates that there was probably little acculturation in the north African frontierzone. The Roman army, long considered to be a powerful instrument of Romanization and a bridge to the indigenous societies of the provinces of the Empire, is shown to have functioned primarily as an army of occupation on the north African frontier, segregated, by choice or circumstance, from the regions aboriginal population.

This book is the concluding part of a rigorous study of theliterary, sculptural, pictorial and archaeological evidence for Roman military clothing, covering the last days of the Western Empire, and the much longer record of the Eastern, in the 5th to 7th centuries. The evidence from this enormously colourful period – when Germanic and Persian styles, first introduced by mercenaries, were widely adopted by Roman armies – is particularly rich. The text is illustrated with many photographs of rare textile finds, and mosaic artwork; with careful drawings of other figurative sources; and with Graham Sumner’s meticulous and dazzling colour reconstructions.

Written by a leading authority on Roman military history, this fascinating volume spans over a thousand years as it offers a memorable picture of one of the world’s most noted fighting forces, paying special attention to the life of the common soldier. Southern here illuminates the Roman army’s history, culture, and organization, providing fascinating details on topics such as military music, holidays, strategy, the construction of Roman fortresses and forts, the most common battle formations, and the many tools of war, from spears, bows and arrows, swords, and slingshots, to the large catapulta (which fired giant arrows and bolts) and the ballista (which hurled huge stones). Perhaps most interesting are the details Southern provides about everyday life in the Roman army, everything from the soldiers pay (they were paid three times per year, but money was deducted for such items as food, clothing, weapons, the burial club, the pension scheme, and so on) to their often brutal life–if whole units turned and ran, about one-tenth of the men concerned were chosen by lot and clubbed to death and the rest were put on barley rations instead of wheat. Moreover, soldiers who lost weapons or their shields would fight savagely to get them back or would die in the process, rather than suffer the shame that attached to throwing weapons away or running from the battle. Attractively illustrated, this book offers a fascinating look at the life of the Roman soldier, drawing on everything from Rome’s rich historical and archaeological record to soldier’s personal correspondence to depictions of military subjects in literature and art.
