Aujourd'hui j'ai assisté à la conférence de M. Brahim M'Barek sur la cité de #Zaldapa en Bulgarie. À la carte de localisation des fortifications attire l'attention sa concentration à la Germanie, le limes danubien, Dacie, Moésie et Thrace, bien comme l'Orient Proche (1/7)

ADRIANOPOLIS Edirne
These walls have seen many, many armies pass through since Roman times...
There is no doubt that interesting discoveries will be made.

A total of 32 Ancient Roman sites in Bulgaria – including fortresses, settlements, road stations and production facilities – are included to apply for UNESCO World Heritage status to protect and promote the “Frontiers of the Roman Empire".

@True_Q Euh....how should i say... I won't deliver the whole thing until I've made an academic work of it. But for occasional information, contact me.

How many late antique fortifications?
Well... a lot... and it’s just a beginning...

[Late Roman Fortifications @LFortifications]

@ProfThibodeau @cwjones89 Simply because the area has been surveyed and studied by archaeologists and historians. No study, no data. Istria is a picture of what the empire must have been like, at that time, at least north of the Mediterranean.

@stianchrister @VergilDen Not at all, even if you are lucky to live there. I mean if you have the localisation, even with Google map. It will be marvelous.

[Late Roman Fortifications @LFortifications]

@stianchrister @VergilDen Localization?

[Late Roman Fortifications @LFortifications]

@stianchrister @VergilDen Not missing. Just a work for n progress, and Malta was not (I a sorry for that) the heart of my research for now. But you can share with me any bibliography you know. 🙏

[Late Roman Fortifications @LFortifications]

@CCvrrv I just said Google Earth is not the tool for an useful database. It’s just simple and cool enought to put everything together.
I use QGIS also, but transfer a 15 years files from GE to QGIS means creates full to categories, and so it takes time... and time is expensive... for me

@jonford01 DUMATHA... one of the main oasis on the road to The Persian Gulf and east coast of Arabia. You control it, you control the water, you control nomadic tribes...

@AyseErinc @aerdemsenturk Gobeklitepe? I know the site because the ancient temple, but not a Romano-Byzantine presence. Interesting...

[Late Roman Fortifications @LFortifications]

@AyseErinc @aerdemsenturk It’s a work in progress. Thousands of site are missing, some because they have not been studied, some because nobody know them except from the village next to it, and some because unfortunately, I have only I life and 24 hours each day...

[Late Roman Fortifications @LFortifications]

@ufuk8bal No, it doesn't. So i will be happy to get the location, and even bibliographical reference if you have also.
Thank you.

@AxelCorlu Thank you 🙏
