An imperial town in a time of transition. Life, environment, and decline of early Byzantine Caričin Grad
2016
The site of Caricin Grad in south-eastern Serbia – currently listed on UNESCO’s tentative list – has been the subject of archaeological investigations for more than 100 years. For the last decades it has been the focus of a joint project of the Archaeological Institute in Belgrade and the Ecole Francaise de Rome. A reconstruction of the economic, environmental and social history of the city is the main objective of a cooperative project started in 2014 with the Romisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum Mainz. The remains of the early Byzantine complex of Caricin Grad show the features of a city built in the classical, Hellenistic-Roman tradition, combined with ecclesiastical Christian architecture…

This paper deals with the outcomes of Galenism in Greek Late Antiquity and in the first period of the Byzantine era, considering particularly the rare but significant elements of novelty which are present in the rereading of the ancient tradition by John of Alexandria, in the Alexandrian Summaries of the Galenic Canon, and by Stephanus and Theophilus Protospatharius.

Ricerche di Archeologia cristiana e bizantina nella Sicilia occidentale
2017
The seventh Quaderno Digitale di Archeologia Postclassica contains the results of the researches conducted by the Department of Cultural Heritage of the University of Palermo and by the Pontificia Commissione di Archeologia Sacra in the Early Christian catacomb of Villagrazia di Carini during the years 2013-2014. Emma Vitale and Fortunatina Vaccaro present the stratigraphic excavation carried out in the south-eastern district of the cemetery, while, in the third study of the book, Giuseppe Falzone analyzes two painted funerary inscriptions on the interior walls of Byzantine burials brought to light, in recent years, along the Decumanus Maximus of Lilybaeum.
Carbonates from the ancient world's longest aqueduct:A testament of Byzantine water management
2021
The fourth‐ and fifth‐century aqueduct system of Constantinople is, at 426 km, the longest water supply line of the ancient world. Carbonate deposits in the aqueduct system provide an archive of both archaeological developments and palaeo‐environmental conditions during the depositional period. The 246‐km‐long aqueduct line from the fourth century used springs from a small aquifer, whereas a 180‐km‐long fifth‐century extension to the west tapped a larger aquifer. Although historical records testify at least 700 years of aqueduct activity, carbonate deposits in the aqueduct system display less than 27 years of operation. This implies that the entire system must have been cleaned of carbonate…
Między Rzymem a Bizancjum – wątki marynistyczne związane z historią Numenoru i jego państw sukcesyjnych w twórczości Tolkiena
2022
J.R.R. Tolkien był jednym z najsłynniejszych autorów klasyki gatunku fantasy, a także bardzo utalentowanym badaczem języków europejskich. Tolkien znał doskonale historię naszego kontynentu od czasów starożytnych i średniowiecznych, dzięki czemu w jego Śródziemiu istnieje niezwykle duża liczba odniesień do rzeczywistych wydarzeń i faktów. Jest to najbardziej widoczne w bitwie na polach Pelennoru, lecz nie jest to jedyne takie świadectwo. Ów autor doskonale posługiwał się historią Cesarstwa Rzymskiego, jak i jego spadkobiercy Cesarstwa Bizantyńskiego, dlatego to właśnie na nich oparł swoją wizję Numenoru oraz jego państw sukcesyjnych, Arnoru i Gondoru. Wraz z nimi pojawiają się w jego pracach…
Historical and Technical Notes on Aqueducts from Prehistoric to Medieval Times
2013
The aim of this paper is to present the evolution of aqueduct technologies through the millennia, from prehistoric to medieval times. These hydraulic works were used by several civilizations to collect water from springs and to transport it to settlements, sanctuaries and other targets. Several civilizations, in China and the Americas, developed water transport systems independently, and brought these to high levels of sophistication. For the Mediterranean civilizations, one of the salient characteristics of cultural development, since the Minoan Era (ca. 3200-1100 BC), is the architectural and hydraulic function of aqueducts used for the water supply in palaces and other settlements. The M…
