Ancient Roman
In modern historiography, ancient Rome refers to Roman civilisation from the founding of the city of Rome in the 8th century BC to the collapse of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century AD. It encompasses the Roman Kingdom (753–509 BC), Roman Republic (509–27 BC) and Roman Empire (27 BC–476 AD) until the fall of the western empire. Ancient Rome began as an Italic settlement, traditionally dated to 753 BC, beside the River Tiber in the Italian Peninsula. The settlement grew into the city and polity of Rome, and came to control its neighbours through a combination of treaties and military strength. It eventually dominated the Italian Peninsula, assimilated the Greek culture of southern Italy ( Magna Grecia) and the Etruscan culture and acquired an Empire that took in much of Europe and the lands and peoples surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. It was among the largest empires in the ancient world, with an estimated 50 to 90 million inhabitants, roughly 20% of th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Baths Of Nero (Pisa)
The Baths of Nero (Italian - ''Bagni di Nerone'') are an archaeological site near the Porta a Lucca in Pisa, then the Roman city of Colonia Pisana. Now below street level, they are the only Roman remains still standing in the city and form a thermae complex. History They were given the misnomer 'of Nero' in the medieval period, when they were believed to have been part of a palace - the earliest level actually dates to the final decades of the 1st century, during the reign of Domitian, as suggested by the use of the ''opus vittatum mixtum'' building technique with alternating layers of brick and tuff blocks. It was rebuilt during the 2nd century, as evidenced by an inscription ( CILbr>XI, 1433 now held in National Museum of San Matteo) which cites the Veruleii Aproniani family, well-known for owning extensive grounds and ceramics factories. In particular Lucius Venuleius Apronianus Priscus financed the rebuilding. He was a ''patronus'' of Roman Pisa and consul of Attidium (a Ro ...

Pisa
Pisa ( , or ) is a city and ''comune'' in Tuscany, central Italy, straddling the Arno just before it empties into the Ligurian Sea. It is the capital city of the Province of Pisa. Although Pisa is known worldwide for its leaning tower, the city contains more than twenty other historic churches, several medieval palaces, and bridges across the Arno.

Lucius Venuleius Montanus Apronianus
Lucius Venuleius Montanus Apronianus was a Roman senator of the first century. He was suffect consul for the ''nundinium'' of January to April AD 92 with Qunintus Volusius Saturninus, replacing the emperor Domitian. The Venuleii were, in the words of Ronald Syme, "an eminent and opulent family at Pisae".Syme, ''Some Arval Brethren'' (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1980), p. 57 Apronianus' father was Lucius Montanus, proconsul of Bithynia et Pontus in the early years of Nero's reign which was confirmed by the proper understanding of a set of inscriptions from Pisa, which also confirmed his mother's name as Laetilla.J. Scheid"Note sur les Venuleii Aproniani" ''Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik'', 52 (1983), pp. 225-228 As Apronianus was co-opted into the Arval Brethren in 80, it makes him unique in his generation for being the only known member of that priesthood whose father was a senator. He constructed the Caldaccoli Aqueduct to Pisa in 92 AD as he was patron of the Pisan co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fistulae Aquariae
A fistula (plural: fistulas or fistulae ; from Latin ''fistula'', "tube, pipe") in anatomy is an abnormal connection between two hollow spaces (technically, two epithelialized surfaces), such as blood vessels, intestines, or other hollow organs. Types of fistula can be described by their location. Anal fistulas connect between the anal canal and the perianal skin. Anovaginal or rectovaginal fistulas occur when a hole develops between the anus or rectum and the vagina. Colovaginal fistulas occur between the colon and the vagina. Urinary tract fistulas are abnormal openings within the urinary tract or an abnormal connection between the urinary tract and another organ such as between the bladder and the uterus in a vesicouterine fistula, between the bladder and the vagina in a vesicovaginal fistula, and between the urethra and the vagina in urethrovaginal fistula. When occurring between two parts of the intestine, it is known as an enteroenteral fistula, between the small intesti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
