CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Ostia and Velletri Ostia, now a small borough, was the ancient port of Rome, the first Roman colony founded by Ancus Marcius, chiefly to exploit the salt deposits. Prior to Imperial times, it had no harbour, the mouth of the Tiber affording the only shelter for shipping; the Emperor Claudius, therefore, built an artificial harbour at Ostia, and Trajan afterwards built a basin there, and enlarged the canal by which the harbour communicated with the Tiber. www.newadvent.org /cathen/11346a.htm   (799 words)

History of the Patriarchate of Jerusalem - Nasrani/Nestorian Church of the East The Catholic Encyclopedia offers this account: "Goaded by the tyranny of the Romans, by the re-erection of Jerusalem as a Roman colony and the establishment of an altar to Jupiter on the site of the Temple, the Jews broke out into a hopeless rebellion under the famous false Messias Bar-Kochba about the year 132. As Christianity spread, and the persecutions of Jews and Jewish Christians by Roman authorities in their homeland increased, causing the dispersion of Nasrani Believers from Jerusalem, the import of the Church and its impact on the ongoing life in Jerusalem began to diminish in the Holy Land. On the ruins of Jerusalem a new Roman city was built, called Ælia Capitolina (Ælia was Hadrian's family nomen), and a temple to Jupiter Capitolinus was built on Mount Moria. www.nasrani-patriarchate.org /eng/history   (3917 words)

Sponsored Settlement: Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage The colony at Plaisance (Placentia) was not sponsored by private investors or individuals, like the English charter and proprietary colonies; it was a royal colony, founded by the French Crown to serve the interests of the state. Frenchmen engaged in the flourishing migratory fishery had for many years used the fine beach at Placentia to dry their fish, and proposals for a colony there were put forward as early as 1655, but it was not until 1664 that sustained funding was provided for such a venture. George Calvert, later Lord Baltimore, who founded the colony of Ferryland in 1621, clearly believed that overseas colonies could be profitable ventures, but he also viewed his plantation as a haven of religious toleration. www.heritage.nf.ca /exploration/sponsored.html   (1062 words)

Latin alphabet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Latin alphabet spread from Italy, along with the Latin language, to the lands surrounding the Mediterranean Sea with the expansion of the Roman Empire. It is generally held that the Latins adopted the western variant of the Greek alphabet in the 7th century BC from Cumae, a Greek colony in southern Italy. The Finnish alphabet and collating rules are the same as in Swedish, except for the addition of the letters Š andŽ, which are considered variants of S and Z. In French and English, characters with diaeresis (ä, ë, ï, ö, ü, ÿ) are usually treated just like their un-accented versions. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Roman_alphabet   (7972 words)

Latin alphabet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It is generally held that the Latins adopted the western variant of the Greek alphabet in the 7th century BC from Cumae, a Greek colony in southern Italy. The letter Y when introduced was probably called hy [hyː] as in Greek (the name upsilon being not yet in use) but was changed to i Graeca ("Greek i") as the [i] and [y] sounds merged in Latin. An attempt by the emperor Claudius to introduce three additional letters was short-lived, but after the conquest of Greece in the first century BC the letters Y and Z were, respectively, adopted and readopted from the Greek alphabet and placed at the end. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Roman_letters   (3156 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 term "colony" came to mean an overseas district with a majority indigenous population, administered by a distant colonial government. Colony may also be used for countries that, while independent or considering themselves independent of a former colonizing power, still have a political and social structure where the rulers are a minority originating from the colonizing power. www.hallencyclopedia.com /Colony   (1618 words)

Colonial Empires British India was to become the most important nonwhite colony (as opposed to the colonies of settlement) in the nineteenth-century British Empire; in fact, many think it was the keystone of Victorian foreign policy. The crown decided to establish the Roman Catholic Church in the colonies as it existed in France. Depending on the importance of the colony, it had at its head a governor-general, a governor, or a lieutenant-governor. mars.acnet.wnec.edu /~grempel/courses/wc2/lectures/colonial.html   (2240 words)

Kautsky: Foundations of Christianity (2. The State) The market for foodstuffs that was opened up by commerce produced in the Roman landowners a drive to increase their landholdings at the expense of their neighbors, who in turn hankered for the riches of the city. But that was not all; in addition, Roman usury capital was loosed on the provinces, where it had a devastating influence and grew to a scale reached nowhere else in the ancient world. It is a partial explanation of the fact that at the time of Caesar and his first successors, that is at the time of the rise of Christianity, the Jews had so large a colony in Rome. www.marxists.org /archive/kautsky/1908/christ/ch05.htm   (7849 words)

Red River Colony Red River Colony, settlement on the Red and Assiniboine rivers in what is now Manitoba and North Dakota, founded 1812 by the earl of SELKIRK. Roman Catholic priests arrived in 1818, but not until 1820 did a Protestant missionary come, and John West was Anglican rather than Gaelic-speaking Presbyterian, a source of grievance to the Scots settlers for years. Continual complaint with the NWC led in 1816 to the SEVEN OAKS INCIDENT, after which the Nor'Westers again evacuated the colony. thecanadianencyclopedia.com /index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=A1ARTA0006725   (413 words)

Ancient Greece Greek culture was a powerful influence in the Roman Empire, which carried a version of it to many parts of Europe. Greek colonies were not politically controlled by their founding cities, although they often retained religious and commercial links with them. The Greeks are believed to have migrated southward into the Greek peninsula in several waves beginning in the late 3rd millennium BC, the last being the Dorian invasion. www.worldhistory.com /wiki/A/Ancient-Greece.htm   (509 words)
