Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The backbone of the Roman army was the infantry, armed with a javelin, or pilum, and sword, or gladius. This study investigates not just the weapon itself, and its design and manufacture, but how the sword was originally conceived and how it was employed on the battlefield as an expression of the Roman state. The authors start examining the early swords employed across the Italian Peninsula during the Bronze Age and how these evolved into the gladius, which itself changed in the period of Monarchy with the introduction of the cross-hilt. During Rome's Consular period, the gladius changed again, and, over time, both the length of the blade and its width were altered. Relying exclusively on historical and archaeological evidence, The Roman Gladius and the Ancient Fighting Techniques shows how the Roman army developed into a highly disciplined body and how fundamental the gladius was to its method of fighting. It also shows how the combat techniques of the Romans evolved as did those of their enemies. The training methods and tactics of the Roman infantry are fully explored and its performance at some of the great battles of the monarchical and consular periods are examined as the area under Roman rule fluctuated with victory or defeat. For the Roman people, the gladius was the object that better than any other showed their identity, since it was a weapon that accompanied the history of the Roman people from its earliest days, changing in shape and design as it was adapted to the varying social, political and military needs. The Roman Gladius and the Ancient Fighting Techniques is the most comprehensive study of this hugely important weapon, which also provides the reader with a complete overview of Roman society, which in this first volume is treated until the end of the Consular period. The book is richly illustrated throughout with drawings and photographs of original weapons and equipment. AUTHORS: Born in Siena on 25 February 1964, FABRIZIO CASPRINI is an ophthalmologist surgeon, while MARCO SALIOLA, who was born in Rome on 12 February 1962, is an architect. The pair are researchers who have worked together for many years on the study of the ancient Roman world, focusing on the military aspects of that period, in particular fighting techniques and weapons. Their work is based strictly on scientific principles, and they have become widely acknowledge as experts in their field. Their previous book, Pugio Gladius Breviest, was published in both Italian and English. They often hold conferences in Italy and arrange expositions on Roman military weapons and warfare. 170 b/w illustrations The backbone of the Roman army was the infantry, armed with a javelin, or pilum, and sword, or gladius.

Condition: NUOVO. Firenze, Ediz.Polistampa cm.17x24, pp.140, num.ill.e tavv.bn.nt. brossura con bandelle, Collana Studi e Testi,21. Nel volume è presentato l'ambizioso progetto del CIMA, il cui scopo primario è quello di realizzare un archivio internazionale che raccolga studi e testimonianze sulle manifatture artistiche e i mestieri d'arte provenienti da tutto il mondo. Oltre alla geografia, sono infatti le attività artigianali che caratterizzano e connotano un territorio, quale parte fondante nella costruzione dell'identità culturale di chi vi abita, cosa che la modernità sembra invece aver dimenticato. Il neonato organismo CIMA si propone, dunque, come centro d'interesse e di coordinamento degli studi a livello internazionale oltre che locale, e come museo delle arti applicate con una raccolta permanente di manufatti che siano testimoni di manualità e tecniche di grande tradizione. La pubblicazione si conclude con un'indagine puntuale sulle istituzioni culturali e le associazioni governative che nel mondo già operano nel settore, qui presentate singolarmente, partendo dai progetti a carattere sovranazionale per passare poi agli organismi a carattere nazionale e regionale, divisi per area geografica. Sono inoltre riprodotte curiose immagini d'epoca su numerose attività artigianali. Prefaz.di Leonardo Speranza.…

Condition: NUOVO. Firenze, Ediz.Polistampa cm.17x24, pp.80, numerose illustrazioni bn. nel testo, brossura con copertina figurata con bandelle. Collana Quaderni di Testi e Studi,6. È il catalogo della mostra tenutasi dal 21 aprile al 24 giugno 2007 presso la Compagnia di Santa Maria in Castello a Signa. Protagonisti, insieme ad alcuni manufatti locali, sono i tessuti liturgici ricamati tratti dagli armadi delle sacrestie di numerose chiese del vasto territorio comunale di Bagno a Ripoli. Attraverso un'indagine capillare sono stati portati alla luce numerosi reperti che testimoniano un patrimonio di tessuti e di ricami di indubbio pregio i quali, per la loro varietà, permettono di illustrare numerose tecniche e numerosi stili di un arco temporale che, dal XVI secolo, giunge quasi ai giorni nostri, consentendo di tracciare una breve storia del ricamo fiorentino. La funzione primaria del ricamo è sempre stata quella dell'ornamento che, applicato a un abito o a un'architettura, sempre ne sottolinea le forme, ne enfatizza la struttura, accrescendone i valori semantici e simbolici, tanto più evidenti nei contesti quali quello liturgico, dove tutto concorre all'esaltazione della gloria divina e del mistero eucaristico. Il repertorio è stato organizzato in due sezioni: 'Ricami da Bagno a Ripoli' che raccoglie arredi e vesti liturgiche, e 'Ricami di Signa' con le acquisizioni ottocentesche di Gaetano Giannini e un abito destinato all'uso delle statue vestite per la devozione mariana. Per ciascun esemplare il catalogo propone una scheda illustrata e ragionata, corredata di informazioni. Parati e arredi liturgici di Bagno a Ripoli e Signa.…
