  1. Researchers Have Analyzed The Roman Empire’s 190,000-Mile Network Of Roads. Turns Out, Not All Of Them Led To Rome
    (for a new study, archaeologists attempted to answer age-old questions about Rome’s roads, including how connected the capital was and whether current motorways trace Roman routes)

    “… “All roads lead to Rome.” Everyone knows the adage. But according to new research [link above]…, the ancient Roman Empire’s sprawling highways weren’t as connected to the Eternal City, or quite as sophisticated, as that saying and other commonly held notions about them suggest.
    “All roads lead to Rome? They are all straight? We still walk Roman roads in the region today? These are widely held assumptions, even among academics,”[said one of the authors.]
    Such claims have prevented historians from interrogating the Roman road system [they also said, 3rd link above] “We just assume that Rome was at the center of a spider’s web of roads, and that’s simply not true.”
    Last year, [they] created a digital, publicly accessible map of the Roman Empire’s nearly 190,000 miles of roads in 150 C.E. For their recent study, the researchers analyzed topographical data and historical context to make judgments about that network…”

  9. At What Scales Does A River Meander? Scale-Specific Sinuosity (S3) Metric For Quantifying Stream Meander Size Distribution

    “HIGHLIGHTS:
    • Scale-specific sinuosity (S3) summarizes bend sizes of linear features and associated contributions to sinuosity across a range of scales.
    • The S3 plot is analogous to a frequency histogram of bend sizes, like a fingerprint or a spectral signature
    • The S3 is an easily computed metric to assess influential scales in bend patterns of linear stream features
    • The paper formalizes a relation between sinuosity and fractal dimension..."
