"In this book, Cornelis van Tilburg examines the construction of Roman roads in detail and studies the myriad road-users of the Roman Empire: civilians, wagons and animals, the cursus publicus, commercial use and the army. In examining the roads, much is revealed of town planning in ancient cities: the narrow paths of older cities, and the wider, chessboard-patterned streets designed to sustain heavy traffic. He discusses toll points and city gates as measures taken to hamper traffic, and concludes with a discussion as to why the local governments' attempts to regulate the traffic flow missed their targets of improving the infrastructure. Traffic was, contrary to modern traffic, a closing entry."--BOOK JACKET.

This book discusses various aspects of city gates in the Western Roman Empire : Italy, Spain, Gaul, Germany and Britain. In these countries many Roman city gates are to be found, sometimes still in a good condition, like the Porta Nigra in Trier and the Porta Appia in Rome.Similarly to medieval or early-modern city gates, Roman city gates did not all have the same design but show an evolution over time and depending on the circumstances: sometimes they appear as simple, narrow passages (which were easy to defend), sometimes as impressively monumental complexes (which were comfortable for increased traffic and were comparable in their function to triumphal arches: both served as symbols of urbanitas, expressing Roman power).But city gates had more functions than being a part of the city defence system and the road infrastructure. In many cases, they played a role in the supply of drinkingwater and the removal of waste water. Furthermore they were connected to social and magico-religious aspects of city life.This book brings together all available material concerning those city gates in the Roman West that are preserved in a good enough condition to be described and discussed. It focusses on the forms and functions of the gates. In addition, it comprises textual sources (both literary and epigraphic material) containing information on the uses of city gates.

Nooit eerder heeft een pandemie een zo grote invloed gehad op de wereldbevolking als geheel als de covid-19-pandemie, ook wel bekend als de corona-pandemie. Sinds de uitbraak eind 2019 in China - vandaar het getal 19 - zijn reeds miljoenen mensen gestorven, maar het zijn vooral de maatregelen die de regeringen hebben genomen die ons dagelijks leven hebben beïnvloed: het verplicht dragen van mondkapjes, reis- en recreatieverboden en het nagenoeg onmogelijk maken van contact met andere mensen die niet bij ons thuis wonen. Nog altijd domineert de berichtgeving van deze ziekte het dagelijks nieuws. Toch is dit niet de eerste pandemie die de wereld getroffen heeft, verre van dat. Sinds de 'pest' van Athene, 2500 jaar geleden - de eerste epidemie die schriftelijk is vastgelegd - is de wereld regelmatig opgeschrikt door weer nieuwe ziekten en epidemieën, meestal afkomstig van elders, die soms hele continenten konden treffen. Vaak werd daarbij een nog groter deel van de bevolking getroffen dan in onze huidige pandemie. Desastreus was de 'Zwarte Dood', de beruchte pestepidemie die Europa rond het midden van de veertiende eeuw trof; soms stierf het grootste deel van de bevolking in een gebied uit. De indianen werden veel meer getroffen door mazelen dan Spaanse zwaarden; de Europeanen op hun beurt - zij het op kleinere schaal - door syfilis. Ruim honderd jaar geleden veroorzaakte de Spaanse griep (die overigens niet in Spanje is begonnen) meer slachtoffers dan de Eerste Wereldoorlog. In dit boek komen deze epidemieën aan bod. Vanuit verschillende gezichtspunten worden ze besproken: de symptomen, de aanvankelijke machteloosheid, de maatregelen van de regeringen, het uiteindelijke succes van de geneeskunde en de nasleep. We weten nu dat niet Apollo, Asklepios of God maar virussen verantwoordelijk zijn voor deze pandemie, maar het heet eeuwen geduurd voordat we dit inzicht hadden. Tegenwoordig lijkt de covid-19-pandemie op zijn retour: de cijfers dalen en maatregelen worden versoepeld, maar de belangrijkste reden is dat er steeds meer mensen gevaccineerd zijn. Vaccinatie is een uitvinding die dateert uit het eind van de achttiende eeuw en werd vanaf 1800 met succes toegepast. Ook nu.
