Celtictool Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 This is a brainstorming thread, correct? Sorry, I have been lurking off and on for a couple of years now.For both the Gauls and Britons, apparently wooden figures could be used to delineate their territory (see bottom of this page). While I was at the National Museum of Ireland -- Archaeology, they said that these figures would sometimes be placed at territorial boundaries. Miranda J. Green also lists them in her book The World of the Druids. Both mention that they could also have religious/spiritual connotations. For the Ancient Britons, cairns could serve a similar purpose, although they are/were typically used to mark any site of importance (e.g. a burial site).

zoot Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Would be cute if we could hack the territory manager to show them around the edge of the territory automatically. Just for cosmetics/ambience of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtictool Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Thanks for confirming, idanwin.So, if we have the Romans, Hellenes & Celts covered. That leaves the Carthaginians, Iberians, Persians & Mauryans.I have to admit, I know far less about these last four cultures than the previous three. However, Wikipedia does have some information which sounds familiar from my Classics courses. In particular, Carthaginian Cippi (sg. cippus) which are similar to Roman stelae (see also). Iberians seem to be pretty hard to pin down as Wikipedia lists two groups -- Western & Central -- which might have some sort of territorial markers. The Western group uses stelae while the Central group might use Bulls. Using bulls would certainly be exotic. From my Ancient Near Eastern class, I remember stelae/stele being used by Near Eastern groups/peoples like the Code of Hammurabi, but not as much for territory demarcation. Unfortunately, I do not have a copy of this book with me at University, but I remember it having a lot of images and being very interesting. Possibly someone will find Persian territorial demarcation features there. The Mauryans could possibly make use of the Pillars of Ashoka.For the Ptolemies, variants of an obelisk might be useful.Also, I realize that Wikipedia is not an ideal source, but it can provide a good starting point to find better sources. Out of all of the groups covered, I feel the least comfortable about the Iberians. There seems to be a lack of information about how they might have demarcated territory. And, where there is information, the various Iberian peoples seemed to vary their expression of territory demarcation (unlike the Celts...possibly).Hopefully this information was useful.

McAllisterw Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 One thing to consider is that not everyone might have demarcated territory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
