Travelling in the Roman Mediterranean a GIS approach
Travelling in the Roman Mediterranean a GIS approach
This thesis applies new methods to understanding and interpreting the structure of the Mediterranean basin through three different specific studies (chapters 5 to 7), each of which applies several different GIS technologies to create a theoretical model of the wind and wave environment of the Mediterranean during the period of the Roman Empire.
The first of these studies the Mediterranean in terms of its geomorphology, and considers possible movement between areas of the Roman Empire.
The second examines the interconnectivity properties between different port locations in the Mediterranean basin using routes between different known locations and spheres of contact.
The third examines the possible movement patterns along a known axis of travel between two documented port locations in the Mediterranean basin.

Abstract
This thesis applies new methods to understanding and interpreting the structure of the Mediterranean basin through three different specific studies (chapters 5 to 7), each of which applies several different GIS technologies to create a theoretical model of the wind and wave environment of the Mediterranean during the period of the Roman Empire.
The first of these studies the Mediterranean in terms of its geomorphology, and considers possible movement between areas of the Roman Empire.
The second examines the interconnectivity properties between different port locations in the Mediterranean basin using routes between different known locations and spheres of contact.
The third examines the possible movement patterns along a known axis of travel between two documented port locations in the Mediterranean basin.
