De la naissance à la chute de l'empire romain Cette carte fait partie d’un ensemble de 8 cartes animées portant sur Rome et son empire Rome, à l’origine modeste cité d’Italie, finit par dominer l’ensemble de la Méditerranée. La ville a d'abord connu la royauté, puis la République et enfin l'Empire. De -753 à -509, Rome est gouvernée par des rois. Après Romulus, le fondateur légendaire, viennent des rois d'origine sabine, puis des rois étrusques dont le dernier est Tarquin le Superbe. Sous la République, la ville est gouvernée par le Sénat, aux mains des patriciens*, et par deux consuls* élus chaque année. Rome s’agrandit peu à peu en luttant contre ses voisins, les Latins* et les Étrusques*, puis en occupant le sud de la péninsule où les Grecs ont fondé de nombreuses colonies. Au cours des Guerres puniques, Rome combat Carthage, et s’approprie progressivement ses territoires en Méditerranée occidentale. À l’ouest, Rome pénètre en Gaule méridionale et s’empare d’une large partie de l’Espagne. Le plus célèbre d’entre eux est Jules César.
Primary History - Romans A History of the World - Explorer Timgad Valeur universelle exceptionnelle Brève synthèse Dans un site montagneux d'une grande beauté, au nord du massif de l'Aurès, à 480 km au sud-est d'Alger, et à 110 km au sud de Constantine, Timgad offre l'exemple achevé d'une colonie militaire romaine créée ex nihilo. La Colonia Marciana Traiana Thamugadi fut fondée en l'an 100 de notre ère par Trajan, probablement pour servir de campement à la 3ème Légion Auguste qui, par la suite, fut cantonnée à Lambèse. Le plan, d'une grande rigueur, illustre les principes de l'urbanisme romain à son apogée. Colonie forte et prospère, Timgad se devait de donner une image saisissante de la grandeur romaine en terre numide. Critère (ii) : Le site de Timgad, par son régime de camp militaire romain, son modèle urbanistique planifié et son type d'architecture civile et militaire particulier reflète un profond échange d'idées, de technologies et de traditions exercées par le pouvoir central de Rome sur la colonisation des hautes plaines de l'Algérie antique.

Egyptian Hieroglyphics © Contributed by Leanne Guenther My name is What's your name? It's true that a 7 year old can't learn all the ins and outs of Egyptian hieroglyphics! But mom's simplified things enough here that we can have fun writing our names and learn a bit about sounding out Egyptian writing at the same time. At times, different words sound the same but mean different things (for example: to and two). Also, keep in mind that the Egyptians didn't always spell from left to right. instead of It's fun to stack and arrange the letters different ways to make the nicest look. We've made our hieroglyphs very colorful, but they were often a lot more dull: Make a cartouche: A cartouche is sort of like a nametag. Arrange your hieroglyphs in this up and down manner on a piece of yellow construction paper or gold wrapping paper. You can try drawing the Hieroglyphs yourself or you can click the template links to print out pictures that you can color in and arrange on your own. Oh, and by the way.
Acropolis Virtual Tour The Virtual Tour of the Acropolis is a web application based on HTML5 technologies (webGL and CSS3D) to display effectively panoramic photographic images in desktop and mobile browsers. The production of panoramic photomosaics at resolutions of several gigapixels was realised between 2010 and 2014 by employing established practices of digital image acquisition and processing. In order to achieve the best possible mapping of natural lighting on the monuments together with the display of shaded details, High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging techniques were used for capturing and combining different exposure levels of the same theme. Particular emphasis was also placed on the typographic formatting of all textual information included, especially with respect to its effective adaptation to different screen sizes. The contents of the application are stored in a Content Delivery Network that significantly accelerates data serving to end-users.
Gracchi Brothers The social and political landscape of the Roman world was about to undergo an abrupt transformation in the Late Republic. The emergence, and eventual assassination of the Gracchus brothers, Tiberius and Gaius, is often considered the first major step towards the fall of the Roman Republic. While Roman class and social affairs had for centuries consisted of machinations by various individuals to get their way (such as the Plebs withdrawal from Rome in the early Republic), the activities of the Gracchi completely altered the state of Roman politics. The careers of these two men were marked by riots, murder, and ultimately, outright manipulation of the common population to achieve their goals. This political behavior would become increasingly more prominent in the 100 years from their time, through to Caesar and the eventual rise of Augustus. From 137 to 121 BC, Tiberius, and then Gaius Gracchus, stood at the center of this turmoil.
These Photos of Pompeii Show Slice of Ancient Roman Life that Was Buried Under 20 Feet of Ash - History Daily Sep 172016 On August 24, 79 AD, Mount Vesuvius, a 4,000-foot volcano near the Bay of Naples in Italy, erupted, burrying the city of Pompeii under an almost 20-foot blanket of volcanic ash and killing 2,000 people. It was one of the world’s most famous and deadly volcanic eruptions. The ancient Roman city was left untouched until explorers rediscovered it in 1748, finding that Pompeii was virtually intact underneath the dust and dirt. As a resort for Rome’s rich, elegant villas lined wide, paved streets. Some of these villas have been restored and are open to visitors, like the Casa del Fauno and Casa del Menandro. Pompeii was a bustling city with cafés, snack bars (the Thermopolium), and restaurants (Caupona Pherusa tavern), and even a 20,000-seat amphitheater. Approximately 2.5 million tourists visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site every year. Pompeii had a complex water system and port, and two bath houses. The volcanic eruption lasted 18 hours.
