La tombe rupestre de Grotte Scalina, sommairement documentee autour de 1900, n’a ete redecouverte qu’en 1998. Il s’agit de l’une des plus grandes tombes etrusques d’epoque hellenistique connues, dont le seul parallele architectural a ce jour est la tombe Lattanzi de Norchia qui date, comme elle, du dernier quart du IVe siecle av. J.-C. Avec ses deux etages a colonnes surmontees d’un fronton, elle semble s’inspirer directement de l’entree monumentale des palais macedoniens de Vergina et de Pella. Sa vaste salle de banquet constitue un unicum dans le panorama de l’architecture funeraire mediterraneenne de ce temps, tandis que ses deux chambres funeraires, dans lesquelles les defunts etaient separes par genre, ont ete apparemment soigneusement orientees en fonction des principes rituels de la cosmologie etrusque. Mais toutes deux sont posterieures d’un demi-siecle environ a la tombe : la premiere chambre funeraire pourrait se trouver derriere la facade, sous un imposant tumulus.

Although few Roman villas have been sufficiently excavated to restitute their overall plan, the various examples today more or less known in Italy reflect a large diversity of planimetries. However, some of the best known examples precisely echoe the prescription of Vitruvius: there should be no planimetric difference between the urban domus and the housing part of the rural villa, except for the fact that, in a villa, the peristylium should be in the anterior part of the building. In many cases, however, this space is a simple courtyard: indeed, this peculiar disposition is anterior to the introduction of the peristylium in the Roman architecture. It could be explained by the concern to protect better the inhabited part of the villa, isolated in the countryside, especially important during periods of strong social and political tensions. This model disappears with Augustus, together with the canonical plan of the Etruscan - later Roman - house and the beginning of the pax romana

Le plan canonique rigoureusement normé de la domus étrusco-romaine, attesté dans la plus grande partie de l’Italie, pour l’essentiel, du vie au ier siècle av. J.‑C., a connu un succès très limité en dehors de la péninsule, où de fortes traditions autochtones, grecques ou puniques, semblent en avoir entravé le développement. Le cas de Délos présente un intérêt particulier à cet égard, compte tenu de l’importance de la composante italique de sa population. L’étude des maisons d’habitation du site, ici envisagée en fonction d’une approche strictement planimétrique, montre cependant, en dépit de quelques convergences, que le plan canonique n’y a jamais été véritablement adopté par les élites locales ; les édifices qui s’en rapprochent le plus sont actuellement interprétés comme des bâtiments commerciaux. En revanche, la « Maison de Fourni » présente une très grande similitude avec les villae construites à la même époque en Italie, en particulier la Villa de Diomède à Pompéi. Το αυστηρό κανονιστικό σχέδιο του ετρουσκικού-ρωµαϊκού domus, το οποίο εµφανίζεται στο µεγαλύτερο µέρος της Ιταλίας κυρίως από τον 4ο µέχρι τον 1ο αι. π.Χ., γνώρισε πολύ περιορισµένη επιτυχία εκτός της ιταλικής χερσονήσου, καθώς οι αυτόχθονες παραδόσεις της Ελλάδας ή της Φοινίκης φαίνεται πως παρεµπόδισαν την ανάπτυξή του. Η περίπτωση της ∆ήλου παρουσιάζει ιδιαίτερο ενδιαφέρον ως προς αυτό το θέµα, δεδοµένης της σηµασίας του ιταλικού στοιχείου που απάρτιζε τον πληθυσµό της. Η µελέτη των κατοικιών της θέσης αυτής, που εδώ πραγµατοποιείται µε µια αυστηρά πλανιµετρική προσέγγιση, δείχνει ωστόσο, παρά ορισµένες αποκλίσεις, πως το κανονιστικό σχέδιο δεν υιοθετήθηκε ποτέ πραγµατικά από την τοπική ελίτ. Τα κτίρια που το προσεγγίζουν περισσότερο ερµηνεύονται σήµερα ως κτίσµατα εµπορικής χρήσης. Αντιθέτως, η «Οικία στο Φουρνί» παρουσιάζει πολύ µεγάλες οµοιότητες µε τις επαύλεις που κατασκευάζονταν την ίδια εκείνη περίοδο στην Ιταλία, ειδικά µε την Έπαυλη του ∆ιοµήδη στην Ποµπηία. The rigorously standardized canonical plan of the Etruscan-Roman domus, attested in most of Italy, mainly from the 6th to the 1st century BC, had very limited success outside the peninsula, where strong indigenous traditions, Greek or Punic, seem to have hindered its development. The case of Delos is of particular interest in this respect, given the importance of the Italic component of its population. The study of the dwelling houses on the site, here considered according to a strictly planimetric approach, shows, however, despite some convergences, that the canonical plan was never really adopted by the local elites; buildings that come closest to it are currently interpreted as commercial buildings. On the other hand, the “House of Fourni” is very similar to the villae built at the same time in Italy, in particular the Villa of Diomedes in Pompeii.

This manuscript was submitted to and is being reviewed at the Journal of the Text Encoding Initiative (jTEI); The paper presents the Distributed Text Service API Specification, a community-built effort to facilitate the publication and consumption of texts and their structures as Linked Data. DTS was designed to be as generic as possible, providing simple operations for navigating collections, navigating within a text and retrieving textual content. While the DTS API uses JSON-LD as the serialization format for non-textual data (e.g. descriptive metadata), TEI XML was chosen as the minimum required format for textual data served by the API, in order to guarantee the interoperability of data published by DTS-compliant repositories. The paper describes the DTS API specifications by means of real-world examples, discusses the key design choices that were made, and concludes by providing a list of existing repositories and libraries that support DTS.

Les travaux, tous programmes, se sont deroules pour l’essentiel a Grotte Scalina, mais egalement, pour des operations beaucoup plus ponctuelles, a Musarna et Castel d’Asso. Nous remercions, pour Grotte Scalina, Maria et Enzo Pepponi qui ont tres genereusement contribue, comme chaque annee, a la bonne marche du chantier ; pour Musarna, la famille Aonzo ; pour Castel d’Asso, Alberto et Stefano Calevi. En revanche, des problemes administratifs nous ont empeches de reprendre la fouille d’urgence ...

Adaptation to climate change is a process that should engage different participants, including not only researchers and technicians but also other stakeholders and local individuals, and, therefore, it is important to understand their beliefs on the local effects of climate change. Recent studies illustrate a linear relation between coastal distance and scepticism, which is lower in coastal zones than in inland. A possible explanation is that people living inland do not experience (or do not perceive) particular natural hazards as being caused by climate change, or attribute the natural hazards to other causes, apart from climate change. This might influence the relative importance of dealing with direct anthropogenic effects and planning adaptation to climate change. Therefore, the goal of this work was to explore this effect by comparing beliefs on the local effects of climate change in Aveiro region (Portugal), specifically in Baixo Vouga Lagunar (BVL, located in the inner side of Ria de Aveiro Coastal Lagoon, 10 km distance from the coast) with the nearby coastal zone between Esmoriz and Vagueira settlements. Stakeholders were interviewed and local individuals were surveyed in order to explore causal attributions towards relevant local environmental problems and compare with data available from the coastal zone. Natural hazards concerned flooding in BVL and shoreline retreat in the coastal zone. Results suggest that in BVL both stakeholders and local residents did not attribute local natural hazards mostly to climate change. However, in the coastal zone, local natural hazards were indeed mostly attributed to climate change. This attribution to climate change was further correlated to a higher risk perception of natural hazards in the coastal zone but not in BVL. Thereby, it is important to consider distance from the shoreline in order to promote local processes of adaptation to climate change. info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

Mr Asiaticus’ Affairs. Understanding the ambiguous figure of Senator Viennese Valerius Asiaticus, COS. 35 and 46, can now be better achieved by cross-examining ancient texts with recent archaeological excavations. The latter were carried out by the French School of Rome between 1981 and 2005 on the site of the ancient gardens of Lucullus (Trinita’ dei Monti and Villa Medici). Interpreting Tacitus on this basis allows us to see how the major works, which he referred to, could explain Valerius Asiaticus’ will to conquer the Imperial throne, linking himself closely to the figure of Augustus and claiming the protection of Jupiter. It could help to explain the disgrace of this great character, condemned to voluntary suicide in 47 AD., Le croisement des informations transmises par les sources anciennes et par les fouilles archéologiques menées par l’École française de Rome entre 1981 et 2005 sur le site des anciens jardins de Lucullus (Trinité-des-Monts et villa Médicis) permet de mieux comprendre la figure ambiguë du sénateur viennois Valerius Asiaticus, cos. 35 et 46. Les grands travaux auxquels fait allusion Tacite peuvent aujourd’hui être interprétés comme un formidable instrument de conquête du trône impérial, étroitement lié à la figure d’Auguste et placé sous la protection de Jupiter. Ils pourraient contribuer à expliquer la disgrâce de ce grand personnage, condamné au suicide volontaire en 47 apr. J.-C., Jolivet Vincent. Les affaires de Monsieur Asiaticus.

Stakeholder engagement in the processes of planning local adaptation to climate change faces many challenges. The goal of this work was to explore whether or not the intention of engaging could be understood (Study 1) and promoted (Study 2), by using an extension of the theory of planned behaviour. In Study 1, stakeholders from three European Mediterranean case studies were surveyed: Baixo Vouga Lagunar (Portugal), SCOT Provence Méditerranée (France), and the island of Crete (Greece) (N = 115). Stakeholders' intention of engaging was significantly predicted by subjective norm (which was predicted by injunctive normative beliefs towards policy-makers and stakeholders) and by perceived behavioural control (which was predicted by knowledge of policy and instruments). Study 2 was conducted in the Baixo Vouga Lagunar case study and consisted of a two-workshop intervention where issues on local and regional adaptation, policies, and engagement were presented and discussed. A within-participants comparison of initial survey results with results following the workshops (NT1 = 12, NT2 = 15, NT3 = 12) indicated that these were successful in increasing stakeholders' intention of engaging. This increase was paired with a) an increase in injunctive normative beliefs towards policy-makers and consequently in subjective norm, and to b) a decrease in perceived complexity of planning local adaptation and an increase in knowledge regarding adaptation to climate change. info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion
