Wikipedia free encyclopedia Over half a millenium later, the Getae (also named Daci by Romans) were defeated by the Roman Empire under Emperor Trajan in two campaigns stretching from 101 to 106, and the core of their kingdom was turned into the Roman province of Dacia. In 271 the ancient Dacia became the Kingdom of the Goths until the end of the fourth century, when it was included in the Hunnic Empire. The Gothic and Carpic campaigns in the Balkans during 238 – 256 forced the Roman Empire to reorganize a new Roman province of Dacia south of Danube, inside former Moesia Superior. recipes.paellaman.com /encyclopedia.php?title=Romania   (931 words)

Nubia However, John of Bisclorum records that the kingdom of Makuria was converted to Roman Catholicism the same year, suggesting that John of Ephesus might be mistaken.

Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Byway (road) In the United Kingdom, straight lines are rarely seen in the landscape, and straight roads are equally rare; where they do occur they are usually either Roman roads or related to later land enclosure. Many former Roman roads were later used as convenient parish boundaries - unlike the newer enclosure roads which rarely ran along boundaries but were solely designed to give access from a village to its newly created fields and to the neighbouring villages. Some byways that have not been over modernised still retain traces of the aggers (or ditches), that originally ran along each side of the lane; good examples ofthis can be seen along the side of the Roman "Ermine Street" as it crosses through Lincolnshire. www.reference.com /browse/wiki/Byway_(road)   (581 words)

PRETENDER FACTS AND INFORMATION James_Francis_Edward_Stuart was the Roman Catholic son of the deposed King James_VII_and_II, forever eclipsed in the succession to the throne by the Act_of_Settlement_1701. That is, the head of state of any kingdom, sub-kingdom, high kingdom, etc., was always a king, but the king always inherited the crown through his mother, as a ranking princess royal, not through his father. Thus, you, as king, would not be succeeded by your own son but would normally be succeeded by your mother's other sons; then by your sisters' sons; then, your maternal aunt's sons; and so on, traveling through the female line of the royal house. www.igopay.com /pretender   (4679 words)

Ireland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Ireland's largest religious denomination is Roman Catholicism (about 70% for the entire island, and over 90% for the Republic), and most of the rest of the population adhere to one of the various Protestant denominations. The major religions, the Roman Catholic Church, the Church of Ireland and the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, are organised on an all-island basis.

Anjou - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Its political origin is traced to the ancient Gallic state of the Andes, on the lines of which was organized, after the conquest by Julius Caesar, the Roman civitas of the Andecavi. Unlike his predecessors, who had rarely stayed long in Anjou, René from 1443 onwards paid long visits to it, and his court at Angers became one of the most brilliant in the kingdom of France. Louis I, who became in time count of Provence and king of Naples, died in 1384, and was succeeded by his son Louis II, who devoted most of his energies to his kingdom of Naples, and left the administration of Anjou almost entirely in the hands of his wife, Yolande of Aragon. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Anjou   (3270 words)

Amazons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Amazons were said to have lived in Pontus near the shore of the Euxine Sea, where they formed an independent kingdom under the government of a queen, often named Hippolyta ("she lets her horses loose"). It is conjectured that the Amazons were originally the temple-servants and priestesses (hierodulae) of this goddess; and that the removal of the breast corresponded with the self-mutilation of the god Attis and the galli, Roman priests of Cybele.

Camelot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Though the name "Camelot" may be derived from Camulodunum (modern Colchester), the stronghold of the Catuvellauni kings, and later the provincial capital of Roman Britannia, its Essex location (in East Anglia) places it in the wrong Anglo-Saxon kingdom. More specifically, it refers to the presidency of John F. Kennedy, as his term was said to have a lot of potential and promise for the future and the period was idyllic for many in the world, encouraged by Kennedy. The musical Camelot, by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe, is loosely based on the legend. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Camelot   (320 words)

Merovingian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Even when multiple Merovingian kings ruled, the kingdom - not unlike the late Roman Empire - was conceived of as a single realm ruled collectively by several kings and the turn of events could result in the reunification of the whole realm under a single king. The Merovingian king was the master of the booty of war, both movable and in lands and their folk, and he was in charge of the redistribution of conquered wealth among the first of his followers. Between 561 and 613, the various branches of the Merovingian house engaged in an intermittent and bloody war over the succession to the kingship, which ended with the family's effective rule notably diminished, though their increasingly token presence was required to legitimate any action. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Merovingian   (320 words)

Book of Judith - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Judith, the magnificent widow, works deliverance for her city— and thus saves all the kingdom of Judea— by charming the Assyrian captain, Holofernes, then cutting off his head as he sleeps. The book is included in the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Christian Old Testament, but relegated to the apocrypha by Protestants. The subject: a daring and beautiful woman in her full maturity, dressed as for the feast with all her spectacular jewels, accompanied by an apprehensive maid, succeeds in decapitating the invading general, Holofernes. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Judith   (320 words)

Dover - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Due to its closeness to continental Europe Dover is one of the busiest cross Channel ports of the United Kingdom, with 18 million passengers passing through every year. The Romans built a lighthouse in the grounds of what is now Dover Castle in around AD 50 which still survives, making it one of the oldest buildings in Britain. Dover was the starting point of the Watling Street Roman road, and was an important harbour of the classis britannica (British fleet). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Dover   (617 words)

Colony The term colony is derived from the Latin colonia, which indicated a place meant for agricultural activities; these Roman colonies and others like them were in fact usually either conquered so as to be inhabited by these workers, or else established as a cheap way of securing conquests made for other reasons. The United Kingdom used Australia as a penal colony: British convicts would be sent to forced labor there, with the added benefit that the freed convicts would settle in the colony and thus augment the European population there. The term "colony" came to mean an overseas district with a majority indigenous population, administered by a distant colonial government. www.hallencyclopedia.com /Colony   (1618 words)

Trevi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Trevi is enclosed in two circuits of medieval walls; in the late 20th century, the inner circuit was shown to be of Roman origin.

Trevi is served by the main rail line from Rome to Ancona as well as the line from Florence to Rome via Perugia. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Trevi   (1618 words)
