The metamorphosis from its beginnings until today," argues Luis Rivero. The ultimate objective therefore is to light the critical edition of Metamorphoses more complete and informed of how many have done so far.
The Ovidian poem, which brings in 15 books a collection of stories about classical mythology
, has become one of the most popular creations of Roman literature. Well known to medieval writers and humanists, remains influential in contemporary literature, as is clear from different studies of Publius Ovidius Naso.
One of the oldest issues was held in 1471 in Rome by John Andreas. "However, today was just one hundred manuscripts read," says the researcher. "The recent comments of Professor S. Myers, the book XIV of Metamorphoses, in 2009, is mastered to perfection throughout the literature
the past 50 years but has not been read not a single manuscript and not one of the comments prior to 1950, "says Antonio Ramirez de Verger, another group of researchers from Nicolaus Heinsius.
For a detailed study of the 15 books that constitute the work
Metamorphoses "has organized the work so that each researcher will study one of them, with their respective editions throughout the centuries," says Ramírez de Verger. It is a rigorous examination of a total of
12,000 verses in more than 500 versions that correspond to each of the manuscripts and critical editions made from antiquity to the modern era. -SOURCE: Andrés Marín
Cejudo has long been seen in the Museum of Zaragoza The issue of historic importance, has remained muted because the person who prepared the plan and sent it to the museum wants to remain anonymous, so the drawing reflects the remains that allegedly appeared in the latest urban intervention in the area and if they were destruidos, han pasado ya casi cuarenta años. ¿Quién envió el documento? Desde el Museo de Zaragoza se guarda silencio, se insiste en que la información es confidencial, pero facilitan el plano que acompaña estas líneas, en el que se ve con precisión el supuesto trazado del edificio.
«Lo explicaremos todo -ha asegurado a HERALDO el director del centro, Miguel Beltrán
- en un artículo que se publicará en la próxima edición del Boletín del Museo de Zaragoza». El artículo lo firmará junto a
Juan Paz - en un artículo que se publicará en la próxima edición del Boletín del Museo de Zaragoza». El artículo lo firmará junto a
, pero no saldrá de imprenta hasta después del verano. Aunque el hermetismo en torno al asunto is total, since the museum lends credibility few days ago, Miguel Beltran had the plane in an academic context, the 'testimonia Urbis', a seminar of the Open University in Tudela.
The alleged remains of
Caesaraugusta amphitheater.
Zaragoza Urbana
In the business group which includes the hotel Palafox, long known as the plane not only exposed at the Museum of Zaragoza, which depends on the Government of Aragon, but also Forum of municipal ownership. "is a theory of some archaeologists, but it does not seem grounded in hard data, the agency sources said. When the museum announced this level we ask for information to the architects who built the hotel and sought technical reports. And we find that what were once found the remains of a modern headquarters, the convent of the Carmen and an Arab tank. But nothing major. " "From Roman ruins, nothing"
The area where the museum's specialists placed the amphitheater began to remodel the late 60 (the project to build there homes, offices, hotel and cinemas received the endorsement of the College of Architects on December 27, 1969), although it was working on different phases. And the hotel, designed by architects Joseph Yarza García and José de Yarza Nordmark 
not opened until 1982.
"From Roman ruins, nothing at all. That is a fantasy that has been playing in Zaragoza years, "says José de Yarza Nordmark. Appeared remains of the barracks and some, of limited scope, the convent before it. But nothing more. " not opened until 1982. Most experts consulted by the Herald did not want to comment on this matter, pending the said scientific paper. To
, "was missing the Roman Amphitheater. In a city the size of the Roman Zaragoza, veterans of three legions that made their home, it is logical that they have been. And surely great. " The building had to be built in the first century of our era. According to the plan of the Museum of Zaragoza, had about 100 meters diameter, which is not much when compared with those of Rome (187), Italic (174), Cordoba (178) and Merida (126). According Manuel Martín-Bueno, Zaragoza not only had an amphitheater, also had a circus. "It was equipment that distinguished the cities of other settlements. But used less than what is believed. "
The issue has again been a rumor that circulated today when he began working in Fleta
, close to the area. But the archaeologist who led the excavation disproves appeared yet again Roman remains. "We found the foundations of a Moorish tower possible, but no more," says Francisco Javier Gutierrez. No other Roman. " -SOURCE:

agents discovered an underground tunnel with a crane to dig the 58 tons of filth
 "There are things that can happen only in Italy. For better and bad. " Michele Ciarlo's voice gets excited on the phone. The Commander of the Guardia di Finanza | of Pozzuoli, macro town of 80,000 people leaning to Naples, has discovered a Roman mausoleum buried under the rubble of an illegal landfill. "I am a great scholar and lover of ancient art: I still can not believe what I saw," he exclaims. What he saw and left him without words is a room of about 15 square meters, with loops and arches, decorated with stucco and traces of color on the walls. According to the provincial Superintendent is a monument built in the II century AD. Right in the Neapolitan style, the commander has all richly detailed and granting several blows theatrical effect. Without haste and without pause.
| "The area is a field where today is forbidden to build because we know who was passing by an old road, the road Domiziana, which led to Rome, and the bow is still perfectly preserved Felice Vecchio." Archaeologists estimate that the citizens of ancient Rome used build tombs for their dead along the way, to move in the journey to another world. The neighbors of the current Pozzuoli know that under your feet doze Roman remains, probably of great value, although currently there excavations. So some have organized themselves. This is the case of 64 years old lady, under the clearing of 1,700 square meters has, found, looted and hidden, the mausoleum rescued today by Ciarlo and his men. The area is now seized and the lady has been reported. |
"We went to control the area. We found a pile of old tires, dangerous waste that can not be dumped just like that. And next door was a large country house half destroyed. But you could tell he had been collapsed on purpose. Its bricks (58 tons) were used to hide even more underground access to the monument. " Removing the debris, Major found an opening and a hideout ten feet deep down to the local permitting. "Until there was a wooden ladder. I was immediately clear that there had been the tombaroli
[antique thieves] had many stucco figurines been removed and the room was empty. " Superintendent of Pozzuoli
now hopes that this mausoleum was built according to architectural rules of the time, ie with three bedrooms. If - as argued by the superintendent - the local ' saved 'today is the court, missing two rooms that carry light. "Having regard to the antipasto, if we arrived before the tombaroli, will be precious. A real discovery, "said Ciarlo.
