Fecha de publicación: | 2018 | Editor: | University of the Aegean | Citación: | Mediterranean Archaeology and Archaeometry 18(4): 89-95 (2018) | Resumen: | Inthis work we try to identify if there exist specific patterns in the orientation of Roman towns and military settlements across the Roman Empire, and whether this can be explained by astronomy, as suggested in a number of ancient texts and latter discussed by contemporary scholars. In order to check if cosmology was present in the urban planning at Roman times we have analyzed the orientations of more than 250 Roman sites located in different regions, from the Roman West to the East, and is the largest datasetof this kind ob-tained so far. Our results present suggestive orientation patterns and point towards an astronomical inten-tionality, maybe by the integration of important dates ofRoman andpre-Roman calendars into the urban layout. | Descripción: | Special issue: SEAC 25th Joint Conference, held in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, 18th - 22nd September 2017. | Versión del editor: | https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1472277 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/243001 | DOI: | 10.5281/zenodo.1472277 | ISSN: | 2241-8121 | E-ISSN: | 1108-9628 |
