The Effect of the Norman Invasion on Anglo-Saxon Landscaping

The Effect of the Norman Invasion on Anglo-Saxon Landscaping Anglo-Saxons experienced great changes to their day-to-day lives in the latter half of the eleventh century due to the accession of the Normans. Engineering and horticulture were skills that the Normans excelled in, trumping that of the Anglo-Saxons at the time of the occupation. Nonetheless the Normans had to pacify the entire territory before they could focus on home life, domestic architecture, and decoration. Castles were more standard constructions and often constructed on blustery hills, where their people devoted both time and space to exercising offense and defense, while monasteries were major stone buildings, regularly located in the widest, most fruitful hollows.

Gardening, a quiet occupation, was unfeasible in these unproductive fortifications. The best example of the early Anglo-Norman style of architecture existent in modern times is Berkeley Castle. The keep is rumored to have been developed during the time of William the Conqueror. As a method of deterring attackers from tunneling beneath the walls, an immense terrace surrounds the building. On one of these parapets is a scenic bowling green covered in grass and surrounded by an aged hedge of yew that has been shaped into coarse battlements.

The Defining Characteristics of Classic Greek Statues

The Defining Characteristics of Classic Greek Statues Up until the Archaic Greeks provided the first freestanding statuary, a remarkable success, carvings had primarily been accomplished in walls and pillars as reliefs. Kouros figures, sculptures of young, good-looking male or female (kore) Greeks, made up the majority of the sculptures. The kouroi, regarded by the Greeks to exemplify beauty, had one foot stretched out of a strict forward-facing pose and the male statues were regularly undressed, with a strong, strong shape. The kouroi started to be life-sized commencing in 650 BC. A substantial age of transformation for the Greeks, the Archaic period brought about more forms of government, expressions of art, and a higher comprehension of people and customs outside of Greece. The Arcadian conflicts, the Spartan invasion of Samos, and other wars between city-states are instances of the types of battles that occurred commonly, which is consistent with other times of historical change.

Water Transport Strategies in Early Rome

Water Transport Strategies in Early Rome Rome’s first raised aqueduct, Aqua Anio Vetus, was built in 273 BC; before that, inhabitants living at higher elevations had to depend on natural creeks for their water. Outside of these aqueducts and springs, wells and rainwater-collecting cisterns were the only technologies obtainable at the time to supply water to spots of greater elevation. In the very early 16th century, the city began to utilize the water that ran below the ground through Acqua Vergine to deliver water to Pincian Hill. As originally constructed, the aqueduct was provided along the length of its channel with pozzi (manholes) constructed at regular intervals. The manholes made it easier to thoroughly clean the channel, but it was also possible to use buckets to pull water from the aqueduct, as we discovered with Cardinal Marcello Crescenzi when he possessed the property from 1543 to 1552, the year he died. The cistern he had made to gather rainwater wasn’t adequate to meet his water specifications. That is when he made the decision to create an access point to the aqueduct that ran directly below his property.
