Roman laws expose the hidden system behind Rome’s amphitheater animal hunts
Roman amphitheaters hosted far more than gladiator fights. Animal hunts, known as venationes, drew large crowds across the empire. A new study from Carlos III University of Madrid examines the laws and state systems behind these shows. The research focuses on two imperial constitutions from Late Antiquity...

Early cereal grain growth was shaped by water, not early farming, study finds

When the Roman emperor Tiberius turned a cave on the coast between Rome and Naples, into a private dining hall, the Odyssey was already about 700 years old. At the deepest point of the cave Tiberius placed a massive marble sculpture that showed the moment when Odysseus blinds the Cyclops, Polyphemus, a one-eyed man-eating giant.
In 26 AD, while Tiberius was dining there, rocks fell from the roof of the grotto, crushing several of his attendants and nearly killing the emperor. In that collapse, the great marble figures were smashed, and there they lay, at the bottom of the cave, until 1957, when workers building a coastal road cut into the ground and found them.
Slowly, piece by piece, the scene was meticulously put back together, and the sculptures now reside at the Sperlonga Archaeological Museum.

A Staggering Excavation Has Rewritten The Fall of The Roman Empire
Interamna Lirenas has turned out to be far more than a “backwater town” of the Roman Empire. According to a published study in Roman Urbanism in Italy, this central Italian town thrived well beyond previous belief, using its impressive urban features and forward-thinking design to stave off the effects of the empire’s collapse well into the 3rd century AD. “We started with a site so unpromising that no one had ever tried to excavate it,” Alessandro Launaro, the study’s author […] -
4,000-year-old silkworm cocoons suggest silk farming reached Central Asia before the Silk Road
Silkworm farming reached Central Asia about 4,000 years ago, almost 2,000 years earlier than historians long believed, according to a new study. The finding comes from three ancient silkworm cocoons uncovered at the Bronze Age site of Sapalli Tepe in present-day Uzbekistan.
