Lucos Cozza
Lucos Cozza (born in Rome, Italy, on 11 April 1921 – 27 June 2011) was a Roman archaeologist. Born in Rome, Cozza was the son of the sculptor, count Lorenzo Cozza (Orvieto 1877 - Roma 1965), and the grandson of archaeologist Adolfo Cozza (Orvieto 1848 - Roma 1910). Cozza was a student of Giuseppe Lugli, the author of many scholarly books about Italian prehistory and the topography of Rome; his best-known work is on the Temple of Hadrian. He also wrote an archeological guide book to Roman antiquities, translated into several languages. In 1957 he began the excavation, along with Ferdinando Castagnoli, of the Latin federal sanctuary at Lavinium. Academic publications # "Grottarossa (vocabolo Monte delle Grotte).

Giuseppe Lugli
Giuseppe Lugli (born in Rome, Italy, in 1890; died in Rome, Italy, on December 5, 1967) was Professor of ancient Roman topography at the University of Rome from 1933 to 1961. Lugli's academic career began with the completion of his undergraduate "Laurea" degree at Università di Roma La Sapienza in 1913, where he wrote a thesis on the villa of the emperor Domitian at Castel Gandolfo. Lugli's career was prolific, although among his many significant contributions, several are paramount. He is credited with more than 230 scholarly publications. In his topographical career, Lugli compiled the landmark ''Fontes ad topographiam veteris urbis Romae pertinentes'' (8 vols. 1952-69). The aim of this corpus was to collect all of the textual mentions in the ancient sources that pertain to the topography and monuments of Rome. The work is organized according to the Augustan regions of the city. Lugli was also a student of architecture, and in particular of building techniques. His stud ...

Prehistory
Prehistory, also known as pre-literary history, is the period of human history between the use of the first stone tools by hominins 3.3 million years ago and the beginning of recorded history with the invention of writing systems. The use of symbols, marks, and images appears very early among humans, but the earliest known writing systems appeared 5000 years ago. It took thousands of years for writing systems to be widely adopted, with writing spreading to almost all cultures by the 19th century. The end of prehistory therefore came at very different times in different places, and the term is less often used in discussing societies where prehistory ended relatively recently. In the early Bronze Age, Sumer in Mesopotamia, the Indus Valley Civilisation, and ancient Egypt were the first civilizations to develop their own scripts and to keep historical records, with their neighbors following. Most other civilizations reached the end of prehistory during the following Iron Age. T ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Topography
Topography is the study of the forms and features of land surfaces. The topography of an area may refer to the land forms and features themselves, or a description or depiction in maps. Topography is a field of geoscience and planetary science and is concerned with local detail in general, including not only relief, but also natural, artificial, and cultural features such as roads, land boundaries, and buildings. In the United States, topography often means specifically ''relief'', even though the USGS topographic maps record not just elevation contours, but also roads, populated places, structures, land boundaries, and so on. Topography in a narrow sense involves the recording of relief or terrain, the three-dimensional quality of the surface, and the identification of specific landforms; this is also known as geomorphometry. In modern usage, this involves generation of elevation data in digital form (DEM). It is often considered to include the graphic representation of t ...

Ferdinando Castagnoli
Ferdinando Castagnoli (born in Prato June 18, 1917; died in Marina di Pietrasanta July 28, 1988) was a Roman topographer who taught at the University of Rome. Among Castagnoli's fieldwork accomplishments was the amazing discovery of the Latin sanctuary at Lavinium (modern Pratica di Mare) and its series of 13 altars, a find that was revealed to the world in 1959. Also at the site is the so-called heroon of Aeneas.Hofmann, Paul. "2,500-Year-Old Altars Found Near Rome; Believed to Be Part of Lost Sanctuary of Lavinium ITALY UNEARTHS ANCIENT ALTARS." The New York Times May 13, 1959. p. 1. Castagnoli was a student of Giuseppe Lugli. Among his students was Adriano La Regina, a former archaeological superintendent of Rome.

Lavinium
Lavinium was a port city of Latium, to the south of Rome, midway between the Tiber river at Ostia and Antium. The coastline then, as now, was a long strip of beach. Lavinium was on a hill at the southernmost edge of the ''Silva Laurentina'', a dense laurel forest, and the northernmost edge of the Pontine Marshes, a vast malarial tract of wetlands. The basis for the port, the only one between Ostia and Antium, was evidently the mouth of the Numicus river. The location of Lavinium has never been lost to historians nor does there appear to have been any significant break in its habitation. Today's settlement remains a walled village of medieval design, Pratica di Mare, in the ''comune'' of Pomezia. The latter is a city constructed in 1939 and settled according to a plan of Benito Mussolini, whose engineers completed the millennia-long task of draining and filling the marsh, now the Pontine fields. A brief strip of field separates the large and flourishing city from the village. On ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Antonio Maria Colini
Antonio Maria Colini (1900 in Rome, Italy – 1989 in Rome, Italy) was a Roman archaeologist who studied, among other topics, the Septimius Severus, Severan marble plan of Rome known as the ''Forma Urbis Romae''. He was part of the group of scholars associated with Italo Gismondi. Colini, together with Lucos Cozza, worked on the excavation of the Ludus Magnus at Rome (see ''Ludus Magnus'' Rome, 1962). He also excavated in the Forum Boarium, Area Sacra di Sant'Omobono in Rome in 1937, and after the second world war. Colini was also a student and protégé of Giulio Giglioli, Giulio Quirino Giglioli and, like Giglioli, he was a fascist and supported many of the fascist cultural programs in Italy.
