Castles and Palaces of Poland Over the centuries, Polish kings and magnates erected numerous defensive castles and stately palaces. Turbulent history has reduced many of them into piles of rubble. Some of them, however, have been spared and today - carefully restored - enchant us with their beauty. At present, some of these buildings house government offices, colleges, etc. Others serve as museums. Castles of Britain Britain is strewn with ruins, rubble from the centuries of her existence. Ruined castles are tangible relics of a remarkable past, a lengthy heritage etched in stone, as well as with the blood and sweat of those who built, labored, fought, and died in their shadow. Ruins stir up in us a profound awareness of those past lives. Castles have a timelessness that is awe-inspiring.

88. Looking Through Roman Glass The peoples of the roman empire used more glass than any other ancient civilization. An illustrated article by David Whitehouse in Archaeology Magazine describing an exhibition of roman glass. http://www.archaeology.org/online/features/roman/roman.html

O NLINE F EATURES September 8, 1997 L OOKING T HROUGH R OMAN G LASS B Y D AVID W HITEHOUSE A mid-first century A.D. wall painting from Oplontis, near Pompeii, depicts a glass bowl filled with fruit. (Courtesy of the Superintendent for Archaeology, Naples) he peoples of the Roman Empire used more glass than any other ancient civilization. Thanks to the discovery of glassblowing in the Syro-Palestinian region during the first century B.C. , glass vessels became commonplace throughout the empire by the first century A.D. and from time to time were exported to places as far afield as Scandinavia and the Far East. An exhibition at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology in Philadelphia presents more than 200 glass vessels from the museum's collection that were made between the first century B.C. and the seventh century A.D. Unlike most presentations of ancient glass, which focus on the finest or rarest objects and treat them as works of art, this exhibition is as much about people as it is about things. "We should never lose sight of the fact that each of these objects was once handled by someone like you or me," says Stuart Fleming, the show's curator.

The Romans inherited much from the Etruscans , but they also borrowed many ideas from the Greeks . Sculpture was used to decorate public and private buildings and much of Roman art was made as official propaganda to glorify the ruler, proclaim victories, or to make pious references to the state and its governance. From the time of Augustus, the first emperor , artists created idealized representations of the imperial family. Such statues could portray important personalities in armor to proclaim a military victory, as an orator in reference to learned activities, or even as a deity to suggest an association with the gods. Head of Emperor Augustus Togate Statue of a Youth Torso in Armor The highly organized and well-integrated political structure of the Roman Empire made it possible for citizens in even the most distant provinces to enjoy a level of material comfort and sophistication close to that of Rome itself. Styles and technical innovations spread rapidly, providing, for the wealthy, a luxurious way of life.

95. Sea Trade Between Romans And India Rivaled Silk Road From Deseret News, on how spices, gems and other exotic cargo excavated from an ancient port on Egypt's Red Sea show that the sea trade between the roman empire and India was more extensive than previously thought. http://www.deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,405011230,00.html

document.write(Banner("area=dn.world_nation.position0/adsize=banner1",468,60)) Thursday, June 13, 2002 Sea trade between Romans and India rivaled Silk Road By Andrew Bridges AP science writer This Indian cotton resist-dye textile was excavated from a Roman trash dump in the ancient Egyptian town of Berenike. Bastiaan Seldenthuis, Associated Press "We talk today about globalism as if it were the latest thing, but trade was going on in antiquity at a scale and scope that is truly impressive," said the co-director of the dig, Willeke Wendrich of the University of California at Los Angeles. Wendrich and Steven Sidebotham of the University of Delaware report their findings in the July issue of the journal Sahara. Historians have long known that Egypt and India traded by land and sea during the Roman era, in part because of texts detailing the commercial exchange of luxury goods, including fabrics, spices and wine. Now, archaeologists who have spent the past nine years excavating the town of Berenike say they have recovered artifacts that are the best physical evidence yet of the extent of sea trade between the Roman Empire and India. They say the evidence indicates that trade between the Roman Empire and India was as extensive as that of the Silk Road, the trade route that stretched from Venice to Japan. Silk, spices, perfume, glass and other goods moved along the Silk Road between about 100 B.C. and the 15th century.

96. HOME Compares the EU to ancient Rome and previous empires which sought to unify Europe. http://www.euro-army.co.uk/

Home Introduction Vine's Views Media ... Updates The European Union is beginning to show its true colours - and teeth - in the shape of a fledgling Euro-army. The Roman Empire, which also began with a democratically elected senate, was eventually ruled by mad Emperors who enslaved Europe, and murdered their own families. Roman citizens enjoyed many benefits - lively theatres, relaxing sauna baths, fine villas, excellent roads - trouble was everyone else had a chain round their ankles, rowed galleys, slaved in salt mines, were fed to the lions, massacred or died as gladiators. Rulers have tried to unify Europe by the sword, such as Charlemagne, Napoleon and Hitler, but now a latter-day Roman Empire is emerging through the cunning diplomacy of stealth. An empire demands an emperor, so do we now await a New World Order leader to emerge from the shadows? The Editor editor@euro-army.co.uk PS: Your views and updates are welcome.
