==Description==

From the project website (accessed 2023-05-15):

'''Mercator-e''' is designed to analyse the social, political and economical repercussions of the construction of transport infrastructures during several periods in the Iberian Peninsula. An integrated approach joining multi-proxy analysis (SNA applied to the network centrality, TNA to analyse transport costs & times, demography studies, interpolation and map algebra) and the study of archaeo-historical sources will be applied in different historical periods. The Iberian Peninsula is a perfect territory for analysing the impact of infrastructures due to its geographical morphology. This is because it is sufficiently extensive and in turn, only connected to the rest of the continent through a restricted zone that makes it a virtually isolated territory and shaped in itself. Historically, the Iberian Peninsula has had periods with very different political ideologies about the role and needs of infrastructure that will be analysed in this project: 1) The Roman era, a remote metropolis with clear intentions of economic exploitation. 2) The Middle Ages with great political fragmentation, territorial consolidations and periods of war, the so called ‘Reconquista’ and between the several newly emerged kingdoms. 3) The Modern Era, where Spain and Portugal conquered and dominated much of the overseas territories in America and in Africa and where large centralised royalties appeared. 4) The XIXth Century and the emergence of a new means of transport, the railroad.

The main objective of this project is to understand the role of infrastructures in the social, political and economical evolution of the Iberian territories, from the dichotomy that can be established between the connectivity of the cities and the costs and time of transport. All these new processes that will help us to understand the historical evolution of transport are inserted in the search for new methodologies to quantify in different ways, and with current tools, aspects of the Historical Economy.

==Description==

From the project website (accessed 2020-10-06):

<blockquote>The data bank has been made by a group of research directed by Nicola Palazzolo working at the "Centro Interuniversitario per l'Informatica Romanistica" (C.I.R.). The data bank BIA on CD-ROM will be periodically updated by the same group of research.

In order to help the utilization of BIA, an user interface in Italian, French, English, German, Spanish is given. It is possible to move from a language to another in every moment.

The new version of BIA has been realized for Windows (version 3.1 or higher). The software is available only in 'stand alone' version. Minimal system configuration: CPU 486DX/33 Mhz; RAM 8 MB; CD-ROM 2x; SVGA.

The use of BIA on CD-ROM does not ask any informatic knowledge: the user interface is properly studied for the researcher who has not any ability with a computer. On the screen all the operations the user must do are indicated. An help-on-line can be actived in every moment of the researching by a simple click of mouse. An user handbook, containing the information about single archives and the utilization of BIA, is enclosed with the software.

From the project website (accessed 2020-10-06):

<blockquote> The Swedish Institute in Rome is a research institute, subordinate to the Swedish Ministry of Education (Utbildningsdepartementet). It is the base for excavations and other scientific research in Italy and pursues academic instruction in archaeology and art sciences as well as arranging conferences with themes of interest to the institute. The Institute has at its disposal a building in central Rome with a relatively well-supplied library, archaeological laboratory and c. twenty rooms and smaller apartments for the use of visiting researchers and holders of scholarships.
The board of directors and the chancellery have their seat in Stockholm, the chancellery being also responsible for the Swedish Institute in Athens and the Swedish Research Institute in Istanbul. The latest statute was stipulated in 1993. The San Michele foundation on Capri is also subordinate to the institute’s board of directors. The daily activities of the institute are led by a director. The institute’s premises in Rome include a library, archaeological laboratory and rooms for researchers. There is a supportive society (Föreningen Rominstitutets Vänner) with five sections in Sweden.
