Book Description
Volume Three of this bilingual series ROMAN SPAIN (LA ESPAÑA ROMANA) briefly covers the history of Roman Spain from Scipio's invasion in 218 B.C. until the end of Roman rule at the beginning of the fifth century. Teachers and students will first read about Rome's victory in the Punic Wars that opened the way for Roman rule in the Iberian Peninsula for approximately 600 years. After battling the different native peoples for some 200 years, the Romans were finally able to achieve their so-called "Pax Romana" (Roman Peace). During the following 400 years, the Romans inculcated and spread their culture to all parts of the Iberian Peninsula. The five major Roman contributions to Western civilization are (1) Law and Administration (2) Christianity (3) Language (4) Architecture (5) Roads and Communication. Today there are approximately 600 million speakers of Spanish and Portuguese in the world -- both languages derived from the Latin spoken by the Romans in the Iberian Peninsula. Many Roman writers of the time, such as Seneca and Quintilian, are still read today 2000 years later. This eBook is complete with questions to help (bilingual) students seeking to improve their language skills in either English or Spanish or both. At the same time they learn about Roman history that has so greatly influenced our way of life today. Check volume 4 of this series to learn about Visigothic Spain.This book is the third in a series of bilingual guides (English & Spanish) for teachers and students -- each featuring an important topic in the field of history, literature or art of Spain and Latin America. Beginning students in either language can learn about their culture in their native language and advanced students can concentrate on the new language they want to learn. Why not learn a language and, at the same time, learn about its great culture by studying history, literature and art? These guides will be especially helpful for bilingual students who will learn to appreciate their history and background in either or both languages. Questions are included and can be used as notes to compose short presentations to promote connected speech rather than one or two word answers.

Book Description
The construction of urban defences was one of the hallmarks of the late Roman and late-antique periods (300600 AD) throughout the western and eastern empire. City walls were the most significant construction projects of their time and they redefined the urban landscape. Their appearance and monumental scale, as well as the cost of labour and material, are easily comparable to projects from the High Empire; however, urban circuits provided late-antique towns with a new means of self-representation. While their final appearance and construction techniques varied greatly, the cost involved and the dramatic impact that such projects had on the urban topography of late-antique cities mark city walls as one of the most important urban initiatives of the period. To-date, research on city walls in the two halves of the empire has highlighted chronological and regional variations, enabling scholars to rethink how and why urban circuits were built and functioned in Late Antiquity. Although these developments have made a significant contribution to the understanding of late-antique city walls, studies are often concerned with one single monument/small group of monuments or a particular region, and the issues raised do not usually lead to a broader perspective, creating an artificial divide between east and west. It is this broader understanding that this book seeks to provide. The volume and its contributions arise from a conference held at the British School at Rome and the Swedish Institute of Classical Studies in Rome on June 20-21, 2018. It includes articles from world-leading experts in late-antique history and archaeology and is based around important themes that emerged at the conference, such as construction, spolia-use, late-antique architecture, culture and urbanism, empire-wide changes in Late Antiquity, and the perception of this practice by local inhabitants.
