Leading experts in the field present fascinating information on how and why the Romans referred to the sky when deciding upon the orientation of particular monuments, temples, tombs and even urban layouts. Attention is also devoted to questions of broader interest, such as the contribution that religious interpretation of the sky made in the assimilation of conquered peoples. When one considers astronomy in the Roman world it is customary to think of the work and models of Ptolemy, and perhaps the Julian calendar or even the sighting of the Star of Bethlehem. However, like many other peoples in antiquity, the Romans interacted with the heavens in deeper ways that exerted a profound influence on their culture. This book highlights the need to take this complexity into account in various areas of research and will appeal to all those who wish to learn more about the application of astronomy in the lives and architecture of the Romans. 410 0$aHistorical & Cultural Astronomy,$x2509-310X 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aAstrophysics 606 $aPhilology 606 $aCultural heritage 606 $aUrban geography 606 $aArchaeology 606 $aAstronomy, Astrophysics and Cosmology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22006 606 $aClassical Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/728000 606 $aCultural Heritage$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/419000 606 $aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15010 606 $aArchaeology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X13000 615 0$aAstronomy. 615 0$aAstrophysics. 615 0$aPhilology. 615 0$aCultural heritage. 615 0$aUrban geography. 615 0$aArchaeology. 615 14$aAstronomy, Astrophysics and Cosmology. 615 24$aClassical Studies. 615 24$aCultural Heritage. 615 24$aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns). 615 24$aArchaeology. 676 $a520.93 702 $aMagli$b Giulio$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aGonzález-García$b Antonio César$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aBelmonte Aviles$b Juan$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aAntonello$b Elio$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337873203321 996 $aArchaeoastronomy in the Roman World$92522933 997 $aUNINA
