Horologia Romana. Recherche sur les instruments de mesure du temps à l'époque romaine - Etude typologique, urbanistique et sociale / Horologia romana, archaeological research on Roman time-keeping instruments : Typological, urbanistic and social studyBonnin, Jérôme 05 April 2012 (has links)
Les horloges romaines constituent un vaste corpus archéologique largement sous exploité et en grande partie inédit. Pourtant, ces instruments mériteraient à plus d’un titre une étude approfondie, tant les domaines liés à leur compréhension sont multiples. Le travail effectué ici se veut le plus complet possible et tente d’aborder le maximum de disciplines. Il apporte des informations sur les typologies d’instruments utilisées, sur les dénominations connues, sur le champ lexical utilisé pour désigner ces instruments dans l’Antiquité, mais également sur le contexte historique et géographique dans lequel ils se sont développés. À l’aide de vastes catalogues des éléments archéologiques mais également des mentions épigraphiques et des représentations iconographiques connues, le rôle urbanistique tout autant que symbolique de ces instruments, a pu être mis en avant. Les horloges se trouvaient dans de nombreux endroits publics de la cité, dans les domus les plus riches, mais également dans les jardins des villae, le long des nécropoles, sur certains tombeaux. Certaines pouvaient être emportées en voyage, servir de « boussole » avant l’heure. Monumentales, elles servaient de parure urbaine et d’acte d’évergétisme de choix. À l’intérieur des sanctuaires, elles possédaient une place bien précise. Les résultats de ce travail novateur permettent donc d’envisager les horloges, à l’époque romaine, autrement que comme simples « garde temps ». / Roman clocks form a vast archaeological corpus still under-exploited and for the most part unpublished. However, the subject deserves attention since the fields of activities covered by those instruments are numerous. The purpose of the present archaeological study is to provide comprehension guidelines of all fields of activities covered by the horologia. It brings information on typologies, on known denomination, on lexical fields used in Antiquity, but also on the historical and geographical context of their deployment. Thanks to a huge corpus of the archaeological evidence (563), but also the epigraphical evidences (102) and the iconographical illustration (122) known to us, the urbanistic function of those instruments, as well as the symbolic one, have been put forward. Horologia were everywhere, in cities’ public places, inside the domus of the wealthy, but also in the garden of villae, by the side of necropolis, on some graves. Some were designed for professional or geographical uses (for example in order to be used during long travels, as a compass before the hour). Inside sanctuaries, their uses are not totally understood but they undoubtedly took an active part in the definition of the cult. Some were monumentalised and, as such, were ordered and offered by citizens. To offer a clock was indeed a common act of euergetism in the cities of the Empire.The results of this innovative study which combine archaeology, epigraphy and iconography with astronomy, show that the Roman Horologia were more than simple “time keepers”. They deserve our attention as archaeological objects but also as sociological objects: studying Roman clocks can help us understand our modern conception of time.

Aplikace deskriptivní geometrie v kartografii / Descriptive geometry applications in cartographyVlčková, Jana January 2021 (has links)
Title: Descriptive geometry applications in cartography Author: Jana Vlčková Department: Department of Mathematics Education Supervisor: RNDr. Vlasta Moravcová, Ph.D., Department of Mathematics Education Abstract: This thesis is focused on constructions of geographic nets in maps and serves as a base for studies and teaching for teachers and students of secondary schools or universities, which are focused on the cartography field. The thesis contains seven chapters, the first of which describes basic terms used in the thesis. Other chapters deal with the analysis of chosen cartography projections, whereas first three chapters concerns with the projection of the globe into a plane, another two chapters concerns with a cylindrical surface and the last one concerns with a conical surface. Constructive tasks, which serve for practising the subject matter, are enclosed for each chapter. Key words: cartographic projection, azimuthal projection, ortographic projection, gno- monic projection, stereographic projection, cylindrical projection, conical projection 1
