I F we consider that agriculture employed a majority of the population in non-industrial societies and is still man's staple occupation, we must ad-mit that the agriculture of Roman Britain has concerned archaeologists and historians much less than it should, for on its vicissitudes depended to no small degree the well-being and decline of the province.

The divergent development of the monetary systems of the Han and Roman empi...

Roman dominating function} on a digraph $D$ with vertex set $V(D)$ is a labeling$fcolon V(D)to {0, 1, 2}$such that every vertex with label $0$ has an in-neighbor with label $2$. A set ${f_1,f_2,ldots,f_d}$ ofRoman dominating functions on $D$ with the property that $sum_{i=1}^d f_i(v)le 2$ for each $vin V(D)$,is called a {em Roman dominating family} (of functions) on $D$....

In this study we apply an evidence-based approach to model demographic fluctuations and their corresponding impact on land use during the Roman and early-medieval periods in the Rhine-Meuse delta in the present-day Netherlands. Past population numbers are reconstructed based on Roman and early-medieval settlement patterns. Corresponding impacts of these demographic fluctuations on potential lan...

ce n’est pas si surprenant que l’on trouve dans le textile historique de l’œuvre la plus estimée de malraux, la condition humaine, les traces des instances philosophiques. ce roman dépasse le dogmatisme d’un soi-disant roman de témoignage. il s’oriente vers les catégories plus souples et moins restreintes tel que le roman philosophique, alors même que l’apparence n’en dirait pas beaucoup sur l’...

OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of pelvic stabilization and hip position on the electromyographic activity of trunk extensors during Roman chair exercise. A secondary objective was to compare genders. DESIGN Repeated measures. SUBJECTS Eleven men and 11 women volunteers. METHODS Five trunk flexion-extension cycles for 3 Roman chair conditions: (i) pelvis unrestrained; (ii) pelvis restraine...

ONE IMPORTANT BUT OFTEN NEGLECTED CONSEQUENCE OF THE FERMENT IN ROman Catholic moral theology since the close of the Second Vatican Council (1965) has been the gradual displacement of the traditional categories for distinguishing Roman Catholic from protestant approaches to moral matters. While obvious differences still divide “moral theology” and “Christian ethics” (the traditional terms of th...

We have compared four computer-assisted methods to measure penetration of the femoral head into the acetabular component in total hip replacement. These were the Martell Hip Analysis suite 7.14, Rogan HyperOrtho, Rogan View Pro-X and Roman v1.70. The images used for the investigation comprised 24 anteroposterior digital radiographs and 24 conventional acetate radiographs which were scanned to p...

The archaeological evidence for parasites in the Roman era is presented in order to demonstrate the species present at that time, and highlight the health consequences for people living under Roman rule. Despite their large multi-seat public latrines with washing facilities, sewer systems, sanitation legislation, fountains and piped drinking water from aqueducts, we see the widespread presence ...
