Imperial Mines and Quarries in the Roman World
Author: Alfred Michael HirtPublisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191614408
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 568
Book Description
The control over marble and metal resources was of major importance to the Roman Empire. The emperor's freedmen and slaves, officers and soldiers of the Roman army, equestrian officials, as well as convicts and free labour were seconded to mines and quarries throughout Rome's vast realm. Alfred Hirt's comprehensive study defines the organizational outlines and the internal structures of the mining and quarrying ventures under imperial control. The themes addressed include: challenges faced by those in charge of these extractive operations; the key figures, their subaltern personnel and their respective responsibilities; the role of the Roman army; the use of civilian partners in quarrying or mining ventures; and the position of the quarrying or mining organizations within the framework of the imperial administration.

Book Description
Mons Porphyrites, in the heart of the Red Sea mountains which dominate the Eastern Desert of Egypt, was the only source of imperial porphyry known to the ancient world. The quarries seem to have been worked from the Tiberian period until the early fifth century AD. A five-year programme of investigation of the quarries was undertaken between 1994 and 1998 and the first volume on the topography of the area appeared in 2001 (EES Excavation Memoir 67 by V. A. Maxfield and D. S. Peacock). This second volume includes reports of the excavations and provides a review of the overall development of the quarry complex.

Pages : 184
Book Description
Roman society demanded stone on a massive and unprecedented scale but, while its buildings often survive to impress the world, ancient quarrying is a forgotten industry. Drawing on the latest archaeological evidence, Andrew Pearson examines the diverse practices of procuring stone, and explains how the products of quarrying were transported and employed within Roman buildings. As well as the major industries such as Purbeck and Bath, attention is paid to the smaller enterprises -- and to foreign quarries and their products. Based largely on the author's own research, this is a long-overdue study -- without competition. It will be important reading for students of the Roman economy.

An authoritative and multidisciplinary Companion to Egypt during the Greco‐Roman and Late Antique period With contributions from noted authorities in the field, A Companion to Greco-Roman and Late Antique Egypt offers a comprehensive resource that covers almost 1000 years of Egyptian history, starting with the liberation of Egypt from Persian rule by Alexander the Great in 332 BC and ending in AD 642, when Arab rule started in the Nile country.

This important resource: Discusses how Egypt became part of a globalizing world in Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine times Explores notable innovations by the Ptolemies and Romans Puts the focus on the longue durée development Offers a thematic and multidisciplinary approach to the subject, bringing together scholars of different disciplines Contains life portraits in which various aspects and themes of people’s daily life in Egypt are discussed Written for academics and students of the Greco-Roman and Late Antique Egypt period, this Companion offers a guide that is useful for students in the areas of Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine and New Testament studies.
