	Campus Martius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Before the birth of Rome, The Campus Martius itself was a low-lying plain limited by a bend of the River Tiber and by the Quirinal and the Capitoline hills.
		As long as the Aurelian Walls were not built, since it was outside the walls, the Campus Martius was a natural place for audience given to foreign ambassadors who could not enter the city, and foreign cults were housed in temples erected there.
		The Campus Martius contained the main part of Rome until the new developments increased the size of the capital of a reunited Italy after 1870.

		Martius assumed the role as surgeon for the expedition and was also given responsibilities for the botanical and ethnographical work.
		On Martius’ return, the emperor appointed him to be curator of the royal herbarium (Botanische Staatssammlung, Munich), a position that Martius held for the next thirty years (until 1854).
		Martius devoted twenty years on this series, with 46 of the total 130 fascicles of this folio series being published by the time of his death in 1868.

	Martius (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius (1794 Erlangen - 1868) is no doubt one of the most famous naturalists of the nineteenth century.
		Martius became an expert on palms (Historia naturalis palmarum, 3 volumes, 1823-1850) and founded (with Endlicher) and edited the magnificent Flora Brasiliensis, of which 46 of the 130 fascicles were published before his death.
		Martius' botanical collection grew, by sale and exchange, to become one of the largest private herbaria.

	GradeSaver: ClassicNote: Coriolanus
		Martius tells the soldiers to get ready for the battle, and steel themselves against the enemy they are about to attack; he also says that those who do not fight valiantly are as loathed as the enemy, which will hopefully spur them on.
		Martius leads by example, though it is an example that is very difficult to follow; his heroism and ferocity are unique, and this scene shows that he can achieve well by himself and on his own terms, but he is not an easy person to follow by any means.
		Martius being given the surname "Coriolanus" is definitely a significant event in the play; it foreshadows his rise to power in Rome, and his later undoing at the hands of the Volscians.

	[EMLS 2.1 (April 1996: 4.1-22)] "The price of one fair word": Negotiating Names in Coriolanus
		Martius' much-vaunted patriotism is subservient to, or at least closely allied with, his impulse to self-aggrandizement, his craving to have his exploits extolled publicly.
		Martius too, in other words, is in his own way playing by the rules of the market place, negotiating so that the maximum amount of glory will accrue to himself.
		When Martius mocks the voices and tongues of the citizens whose votes he is soliciting, in other words, he is placing himself in a position that might be described as one of linguistic inauthenticity, since he wants to be "nam'd for consul" (III.i.194) by the very people whose authority to name he emphatically denies.

	Campus Martius to rev up downtown Detroit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Campus Martius, which takes its name from one of ancient Rome's central park areas, is expected to revitalize a five-block, 9.2-acre section closely connected to the city's retail and office history.

		The five components of Campus Martius, in all encompassing 2.5 million square feet, are identified by the names of historic one-time tenants, including the former Kern's, Crowley's and Hudson's department stores.

	Chrono-Biographical Sketch: Karl Friedrich Philipp von Martius
		Martius was fortunate enough as a young man to be sent by the king of Bavaria on a major expedition to Brazil to collect plant specimens (he also served as the expedition's physician); while there he additionally gave attention to the region's physical geography and ethnology.
		Martius put almost all of his attention on Brazil-related subjects; he published a well-received semi-popular account of his explorations and ethnological studies as well as many technical treatments of its vegetation (culminating in his most important work, the many-volumed Flora Brasiliensis, completed after he died).
		During his time Martius was recognized as the foremost specialist on palms; he is also credited as having been the first to describe the natural spiral growth pattern of many plants.

		Martius defended the latter position, suggesting that, "savagised rather than savages", the Brazilian Indians represented the disjecta membra of extinct indigenous empires.

	Project for Public Spaces (PPS) \| Campus Martius Park
		Against all odds, a two-acre civic square was created in the heart of downtown Detroit by moving two major streets, combining several parcels of open space, and relocating a major 19th century monument.
		A series of stakeholder workshops identified what activities people wanted to see in the new square, how the design would support these intended activities, and what management responsibilities would be necessary when the square was finished.
		The result was a sweeping vision of Campus Martius as one of the world's best public spaces--endowed with innovative programming, easy pedestrian access, a variety of distinct destinations within the park, and strong connections to surrounding neighborhoods and public transit.

	CAMPUS MARTIUS PARK: In downtown's center, an oasis is materializing
		Bob Gregory, executive director of the Detroit 300 Conservancy, a nonprofit group that built and will maintain the park under a long-term contract with the city, calls Campus Martius "a little oasis from the city." One of the things that makes the park special is the encircling ring of skyscrapers that frame the park.
		Over the past two centuries, the spot known as Campus Martius (Latin for Field of Mars or military ground after the god of war since troops used to drill there) has taken many forms, from a muddy field in the 1800s to the seldom-used concrete plaza known as Kennedy Square of the past 40 years.
		In the early 1900s, Campus Martius was defined by stately public buildings, including Detroit's ornate City Hall and an early version of the Detroit Opera House, both demolished decades ago.

	The Campus Martius (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The Campus Martius (often called by contemporary Romans merely "Campus"), in general, covered the area outside Rome's pomerium, the level ground between the slopes of the Capitoline, the Quirinal, and the Pincian hills, and the Tiber.
		In the Fifth Century BC, this area was generally known by Romans as a grassy meadow in which sports, militia drilling and games were practiced; by the time of Augustus, the area was built up enough to be divided into several sections, of which his Region IX was the area right around the Circus Flaminius.
		Campus Martius remained outside the main pomerium of Rome largely until Aurelian built his famous defensive wall in the late third century.
