Resources for computational simulation modelling in Roman studies

[Tom Brughmans @tombrughmans]

MANIFESTO: Romanists, let's do complexity! #openaccess article with @TRAC_conference . Do share! @iza_romanowska @OpenAccessArch @benmarwick @romanarchaeouk @wmarybeard @LisaLodwick https://t.co/4k8tfSOQ1C

Our latest paper has just been published!! Anyone interested in Roman archaeology, modeling or complexity science: CHECK THIS OUT!! https://t.co/w4EqsO7qIQ

A gentle reminder to our colleagues that computers can do many weird and wonderful things and that they could help (and a lot) with researching complex phenomena. #modelling #complexity #abm #Simulation #networks #scaling #codingFTW

Told my undergrads class yesterday to go check out the new @MERCURY_SIMREC website (https://t.co/cqzIKnmWue), tons of cool stuff on computational modelling in Roman studies to find there, spreading the word! @tombrughmans

[dr Iza Romanowska @Iza_Romanowska]

Heading back home after wonderful two days of discussing #modelling #Simulation #networks at the @MERCURY_SIMREC workshop hosted by @school_of_arch. I wish we could stay longer and code away until all mysteries of roman trade are ticked off!

[Tom Brughmans @tombrughmans]

Aleš Chalupa and Tomaš Glomb talking about the spread of religious cults using network simulations. @GehirProject is awesome! Check out their website https://t.co/faT92XfDEM @MERCURY_SIMREC

@electricarchaeo sharing his decades long experience with simulation to a full room of keen Romanist modellers. This has been a long time coming for this pioneer of Roman simulation #MERCURY18 @tombrughmans

[Project MERCURY @MERCURY_SIMREC]

Ready for day two of #MERCURY18 workshop. Coming up @electricarchaeo on Roman zombies and @xrubiocampillo on Roman pots https://t.co/HV1MBmmsBu

[Project MERCURY @MERCURY_SIMREC]

@electricarchaeo Plug :)

Playing around with pots. The case for explorable explanations of computational models made by @evoluchico @teramotoki @MERCURY_SIMREC

@jwhpverhagen @xrubiocampillo @xrubiocampillo "... and scientists can be naughty sometimes" #MERCURY18

[Project MERCURY @MERCURY_SIMREC]

@xrubiocampillo "the quality of your centurion correlates linearly with the number of casualties inflicted on the enemy". Really practical recommendation for Roman generals out there, derived smulation in Roman Studies #MERCURY18

[Project MERCURY @MERCURY_SIMREC]

@xrubiocampillo talking about how to compare models with nature with theory building, null hypothesis and model selection #MERCURY18

[Project MERCURY @MERCURY_SIMREC]

@jwhpverhagen @Iza_Romanowska Challenge accepted. Let's go for the Guinness world record in the discipline "modelling the fall of Rome": 250 heterogenous autonomous modellers #MERCURY18

[Project MERCURY @MERCURY_SIMREC]

Let the Roman simulation Twitter storm commence! #MERCURY18 @electricarchaeo @dr_bone_lady @Iza_Romanowska @xrubiocampillo @jwhpverhagen @tombrughmans

Hello world! Project MERCURY is getting ready to start sharing resources for computational modelling in Roman studies. Watch this space! https://t.co/0THE0UI3H1
