Studies in the history of Greece and Rome.

Pisciculture--the process of raising fish--held a lasting fascination for the people of ancient Rome. Whether bred for household consumption, cultivated for sale at market, or simply kept in confinement for reasons of aesthetic appreciation, fish remained an important commodity and prominent cultural symbol throughout the periods of the Roman Republic and early Empire. Roman pisciculture reached its greatest level of sophistication, though, between the first century b.c. and the first century a.d. with the development of a highly specialized architectural element: the piscina, or artificial fishpond. Based on a thorough examination of the archaeological record and complemented by site plans, maps, and photographs, James Higginbotham's work represents the most comprehensive study of the fishponds of Roman Italy. Higginbotham covers the technical aspects of Roman fishponds--their design, construction, and operation--and places the piscinae within their social, political, and economic context. He argues that in a society fascinated by pisciculture, ownership of a fishpond was a powerful display of wealth and social status and, ultimately, a manifestation of the intense competition between aristocratic Roman families that would eventually lead to civil war.

Incredible quality leather—built like a tank!
Color: Carhartt Brown (Trifold), Color: Carhartt Brown (Trifold)
I am incredibly impressed with this Carhartt wallet. Right out of the box, you can tell the full-grain brownish saddle leather is top notch quality. It has a great weight to it, feels incredibly durable, and has that authentic, premium leather smell. The stitching around the edges is heavy-duty and tight, so I don't see this fraying anytime soon.It holds all my cards and cash perfectly without getting uncomfortably bulky in my pocket, and the built-in RFID blocking gives me great peace of mind. It’s starting to break in beautifully and develop a nice patina already. If you want a rugged, functional wallet made from actual good materials that will last for years, this is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!
