Histoire de la Ville de Tipaza |
| Les Phéniciens y ont fondé un comptoir vers le Ve siècle av. J.-C. : c'est de cette origine que la ville tire son nom qui signifie « lieu de passage » ou « escale ». Mais le plus plausible, Tipasa est la déformation du mot berbère "Tafsa" qui signifie le grès ou la pierre calcaire, toujours en usage dans beaucoup de régions du Maghreb. Plus.

Villagers Cook Beans in Antique Roman Jars |
| In 1868, legendary Austro-Hungarian archaeologist and ethnographer Felix Philipp Kanitz while searching for the old Roman road from Ratiaria to Naissus (now Nis, Serbia), stopped in the Bulgarian village of Kladorub, situated some 18 km away from the Black Sea town of Belogradchik. There he saw the ruins of an ancient fortress and towers, orientated towards the four cardinal directions. Kanitz was the first to create the hypothesis that this was the Roman military fort known as Conbustica. At the beginning of the 20th century, excavations started at this site but shortly after the archaeologists lost interest in the fortress. The black archaeologists didn't lose time and started digging in the region. Labels: bulgaria, dig, military, road, roman empire, ruin |

Uncovering mysteries of the past |
Many of you might not be familiar with the discipline of classics. It is an interdisciplinary field in which students study the languages, philosophies, religions, art, history and cultures of the ancient Greeks and Romans. Studying ancient civilizations continually provides insight into the past and assists in solving some of the world's greatest mysteries. It was because of my love of history that I was able to spend this past summer in Italy, performing work I never imagined: I helped excavate the ruins of an ancient Roman city.

Colour and culture of Rome's legacy on offer in Trier |
BACK in 30BC, the Romans based their Western Roman Empire at Augusta Treverorum in western Germany.
Over 2,000 years later, their legacy lives on in the city on the banks of the River Moselle, now known as Trier. Many Roman remains can be seen around the city centre – most of which survived World War II bombing and are in as good condition as those in Rome itself.Labels: germany, ruin |

A Tale of Two Buried Cities |
IT was mid-morning and the mid-summer sun had yet to reach its full baking glory but already the heat was shimmering across the cobblestones as they stretched away into the hazy distance ahead.
We were standing at the entrance to the Via dei Molini, one of the main thoroughfares in the ruins of the ancient city of Ostia Antica, at the old mouth of the Tiber river, about 30kms west of Rome.
Just off to the left were the fabulous columns of the Tempio di Diana….dedicated to the goddess of the hunt.

| Lunch for the lions
A few miles out of Seville are the ruins of Italica. Publius Cornelius Scipio, the greatest Roman general before Julius Caesar, built it as a rest camp for his troops. It grew into a town of 200,000 people and had its own 30,000-seat coliseum so the centurions could go there on Sundays and see some of the population eaten by lions.
