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…
The small mammals (insectivores, bats and rodents) from the Holocene site of Vallone Inferno (Scillato, Sicily)
2013
The Vallone Inferno rock-shelter is an archeological site located at 770 m a.s.l. in the Madonie massif in Sicily. This massif is modeled into the Triassic and Oligocene sedimentary rocks of the Imerese Basin. Thearchaeological excavations conducted since 2008 have provided a long prehistoric and historic sequence from the Neolithic to the medieval period. From the four sedimentary complexes identified, only levels 3.4 to 3.1 from complex 3 and 4.2 from complex 4 have yielded small-mammal material. Level 4.2 is poor in remains and as yet without cultural ascription, though it has a radiocarbon age of 9450±50 years BP. Level 3.4 has yielded fragments of ceramic characteristic of the Middle N…
Oddawanie czci władcy w Rzymie w okresie cesarstwa na przykładzie manus velatae i silentiarii
2019
During the Roman Empire period, the ruler was venerated in many ways. Prostration, proskynesis, referring to the emperor as dominus; adora-tio purpurae; manus velatae; observing the ritual silence; and other rituals were supposed to strengthen the emperor’s authority. During the period of Dominate, the Roman freedom was replaced by etiquette at the imperial court. This article discusses only two examples of veneration of the ruler in the Roman Empire period, namely manus velatae and silentiarii. The manus velatae ritual consisted of giving hands covered with a cloth to the ruler and receiving objects from him in such hands. The gesture had already been encountered in many ancient cultures, …

Donazioni e ricompense:la retorica bizantina al servizio del potere normanno.
2009
Il documento d'archivio simbolo e cifra del potere anche quando questo si declina nella sfera del diritto privato. Una pergamena greca del 1141 attesta la donazione di reliquie sacre in favore dell'Archimandritato di Messina: autori e destinatari, testimoni, formulario e lessico bizantini concorrono a una precisa sceneggiatura del dispositivo politico normanno nell'epoca in cui Ruggero II e il suo ministro Giorgio di Antiochia hanno fatto delle forme mutuate dall'impero bizantino un raffinato strumento di regno. The archive document is the symbol and figure of power even when this is declined in the sphere of private law. A Greek parchment of 1141 attests the donation of sacred relics in fa…
Secure, dependable and publicly verifiable distributed data storage in unattended wireless sensor networks
2010
Published version of an article from the journal : Science in China, Series F: Information Sciences. The original publication is available at Spingerlink. http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11432-010-0096-7 In unattended wireless sensor networks (UWSNs), sensed data are stored locally or at designated nodes and further accessed by authorized collectors on demand. This paradigm is motivated by certain scenarios where historical or digest data (e.g., average temperature in a day), instead of real-time data, are of interest. The data are not instantly forwarded to a central sink upon sensing, thereby saving communication energy for transmission. Such a paradigm can also improve data survivability by m…
Lingua e prassi della definizione dei confini nelle fonti documentarie. Materiali per uno studio del multiculturalismo in età normanna.
2022
Multiculturalism and multilingualism are often used to condense the Norman political and cultural experience in the kingdom of Sicily into a formula. How the coexistence of the three, if not four, cultural communities - Greek Byzantine language and rite, Arab Muslim and Judeo-Arabic, Latin Roman rite - was articulated is, however, a far from simple question. The contribution attempts to demonstrate the validity of the act of juridical practice as a tool for the study of Norman society and culture in Sicily starting from the analysis of the definition of boundaries, urban and rural, contained therein.
La dimensione ecumenica del rito della fondazione di una Chiesa nella tradizione bizantina greca e latina
2013
The dedication of a Church is not the only rite that is used for the initiation of a new place of Christian worship. At the beginning of the construction of a building, liturgical sources provide for the Rite of Foundation of a Church in which blessings are asked on both the workers and also on the future edifice. This paper gives a comparative analysis of prayers used in the rites of the Byzantine-Greek and Latin traditions. Although both traditions have different theological emphasis they also have similarities too. This study bears fruit in allowing us to create a common ecumenical definition of the church-building arising from these analysed texts – it is the future place of Christian w…
