Roman Road Of Agrippa (Saintes–Lyon)
The Roman road from Saintes to Lyon was part of one of the four main routes of the Via Agrippa, Agrippa road network, established from ''Lugdunum'' (modern-day Lyon), the capital of Roman Gaul. This network was developed beginning in 27 BCE under the direction of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, a general and son-in-law of Emperor Augustus. This road, listed on the Tabula Peutingeriana, connected ''Lugdunum'' (modern-day Lyon) to ''Mediolanum Santonum'' (modern-day Saintes, Charente-Maritime, Saintes) via ''Augustonemetum'' (Clermont-Ferrand) and ''Augustoritum'' (Limoges). In the 19th-century classification of Roman roads in France by Konrad Miller, the segment between Saintes and Limoges is designated as VR 27. History The road was constructed in the 1st century CE under the direction of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa Postumus, Agrippa to establish a connection between ''Lugdunum'' (Lyon) and ''Mediolanum Santonum'' (Saintes, Charente-Maritime, Saintes).

Via Agrippa
''Via Agrippa'', is any stretch of the network of Roman roads in Gaul that was built in the last century BCE by Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, to whom Augustus, Octavian entrusted the reorganization of the Gauls. In all, the Romans built of roads in Gaul. Agrippa's project Agrippa's network radiated from a hub at the new strategic site of Lugdunum (Lyon). Strabo indicated the directions, which were identified by Pierre Gros: *a route towards the Atlantic Ocean, Atlantic, from Lugdunum/Lyon towards Saintes, Charente-Maritime, Saintes * a route towards the North Sea, via Reims, Beauvais and Amiens * a route towards the Rhine, via Langres, Trier and Cologne * and a route towards the south, to Marseille. Though the detailed routes taken by the various stretches of the ''Via Agrippa'' are well settled on the ground, the dates of construction are still debated: in 39-38 BCE, according to the authors of the ''Guide romain antique''; 22-21 BCE, according to Pierre Gros; or between 16 and ...

Heath
A heath () is a shrubland habitat found mainly on free-draining infertile, acidic soils and is characterised by open, low-growing woody vegetation. Moorland is generally related to high-ground heaths with—especially in Great Britain—a cooler and damper climate. Heaths are widespread worldwide but are rapidly disappearing and considered a rare habitat in Europe. They form extensive and highly diverse communities across Australia in humid and sub-humid areas where fire regimes with recurring burning are required for the maintenance of the heathlands.Specht, R.L. 'Heathlands' in 'Australian Vegetation' R.H. Groves ed. Cambridge University Press 1988 Even more diverse though less widespread heath communities occur in Southern Africa. Extensive heath communities can also be found in the Texas chaparral, New Caledonia, central Chile, and along the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. In addition to these extensive heath areas, the vegetation type is also found in scattered locations a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
