Introduction to the special issue: Roman canals studies—main research aims [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
This special issue of Water History is the first of a set of two volumes dedicated to canals and their evolution through time. These two publications derive from a workshop organised at the Maison de l’Orient et de la Méditerranée in Lyon (France) under the sponsorship of the University of Lyon 2 and the CNRS, on the 23rd and 24th of May 2012, entitled “Diverting water… Canals through time: a technological answer to socio-environmental variability”. The themes of the workshop focused on “canals” and addressed the question of long-term interactions between nature and society, as well as the organisation and regulation of hydrologic and anthropic systems through time. This first volume focuses on a socio-cultural context: the ancient Roman world, i.e. an archetypical hydraulic society. The case studies developed are related to canals in environments characterized by complex interactions at different spatial and temporal scales (deltaic area, alluvial plain or mountains). They do not inc ...
