The Luxemburgs and the Apennine Peninsula
Urban, Josef ; Helan, Pavel (advisor) ; Lášek, Jan Blahoslav (referee)
Ve své diplomové práci se jsem se pokusil popsat politickou situaci v Itálii v první třetině 14. století se zaměřením na působení významných osobností Lucemburského rodu v této oblasti. Pro zpracování jsem zvolil léta 1308-1313, 1330-1333 a rok 1337. Zaměřil jsem se hlavně na osobu Jindřicha IV. Lucemburského, jeho nástup k moci, volbu říšským králem a následnou cestu za císařskou korunou. V práci rozebírám reformy, které Jindřich použil při správě Italských měst během cesty na Řím. Dále se zaměřuji na odezvu, kterou jeho působení vyvolávalo u příslušníků dvou hlavních politických směrů v Itálii, tedy u guelfů a ghibelinů, i u francouzského krále Filipa IV. a u papeže Klimenta V. pobývajícího tou dobou v Avignonu. Dále se zaobírám pokusem českého krále Jana Lucemburského a jeho syna Karla o založení Lucemburské signorie na území Lombardie, Toskánska a Emilia Romagna a jejich neúspěšné snahy o udržení tohoto území pod Lucemburskou nadvládou. A Karlovo krátkodobým pokusem o získání území v severní Itálii v roce 1337. Opět se věnuji vlivu jejich působení na politiku měst zmíněných oblastí. Také se okrajově zaměřuji na vliv Jindřicha Lucemburského na spisovatele Danta Alighieriho a jeho dílo "De Monarchia" s Jindřichovo tažením do Říma jako předlohou pro vznik tohoto díla.

Master B with the Die from the collection of National Gallery in Prague
Veselá, Markéta ; Zlatohlávek, Martin (advisor) ; Konečný, Lubomír (referee)
The aim of this essay is an assessment of an anonymous engraver's work from the early 16th century whose monogram is a cube with a letter B. The essay is divided into two separate main units. The first enclosed unit includes texts helping us to create a partial picture of the Master's life. There are information dealing with a cultural environment and a technological development of the graphic art in the times of the Master's existence. The second unit is a char- acterization and a detailed analysis of selected pieces of work with an accent on the technologi- cal aspect of the prints. The creation of the Master's B of the Die life story was very difficult considering the lack of the literature. After a thorough search in libraries and on the internet not even one continu- ous text concerning directly this artist has been found. Incomplete information have been found only in collected encyclopaedias about art. For drawing-up at least a short life story accessible information about cultural environment of the then humanistic society have been used which are composed in a separate chapter. The next separate part of a lesser extent is interested in edi- tors co-operating in the Master's B of the Die environment and participating on the production of his graphics. Together with the analysis of the...

Holeček, Jiří ; Stančo, Ladislav (advisor) ; Bouzek, Jan (referee)
- Jiri Holecek - Roman imports in South Asia Diploma thesis sums up the development of the maritime trade between the Mediterranean, especially Rome, and South Asia, especially India, in the time period between the first century BC and the fourth century CE. Emphasis is put mostly on the archeological proof of the trade in the both directions, such as coins or traded goods, and their relevance and conclusiveness. Furthermore, the works of ancient historians are used to obtain more precise context in the terms of geography and economy. Thesis will compare the development of the maritime trade and the trade using the overland routes, especially so-called Silk Road. In conclussion, the thesis summarizes relevant proofs, and with their help defines the extent of the influence of the Mediterranean in South Asia and compare it with the influence of the overland routes, and finally describes the reasons of this economical development.

Sebastiano Luciani (called del Piombo) and his cooperation with Raphael in Rome between 1511 and 1517
Konečná, Kateřina ; Zlatohlávek, Martin (advisor) ; Konečný, Lubomír (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the early Roman work of Sebastiano Luciani, later called del Piombo. Sebastiano came from Venice and he went to Rome at the invitation of a wealthy merchant Agostino Chigi, which allowed him to work in his Villa Farnesina. Here in the Sala di Galatea Sebastiano painted al fresco technique eight lunettes with themes from Ovid's Metamorphoses and also created a separate fresco of the Polyphemus. Thanks to this first Roman commission he got in touch with the leading artists of that period, especially with Raphael, who also worked for Chigi. Raphael made a famous fresco of the Galatea in the same hall and he didn't try to follow Sebastiano's style. Their rivalry and influence on each other continued after Sebastiano left the Villa. Competition between them was also amplified by Sebastiano's friendship with Michelangelo, who was considered to be the exact opposite of Raphael. Michelangelo also created praparatory drawings for del Piombo, as the penultimate chapter outlines. The last chapter is devoted to the painting of Madonna with the veil, which is the only Sebastiano's painting in the Czech collections. Keywords Sebastiano del Piombo, Sebastiano Luciani, Rome, Villa Farnesina, Raphael

Notata, quae intra proficiscendum Romam et redeundum vidi vel audivi. Travel records of the priest Matthias Stanislaus Heitzmann about his pilgrimage to Rome in 1659
Šitinová, Ivana ; Hojda, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Chodějovská, Eva (referee)
The bachelor's thesis deals with travel records of the priest Matthias Stanislaus Heitzmann from Polná, which he wrote up after his pilgrim's journey to Rome in 1659. These notes form part of a manuscript deposited in the State District Archive in Jihlava in the collection of the Dean's Office Polná. The notes are written predominantly in Latin, but partly also in German and Italian. They include descriptions of sacral buildings, enumerations of holy remains deposited there and descriptions of miraculous effects of various preparations and miraculous crosses. A significant part of the notes are moral stories that the author heard during his pilgrimage. The objective of the thesis is to comment on the entire text, to evaluate it as a historical source and to analyze a relationship between the author and his work.

Financial the Administration of Sicily as a Roman Province
Hejda, Josef ; Skřejpek, Michal (advisor) ; Falada, David (referee)
This work aims to introduce readers to the Roman administrative and financial law. These laws are closely related to the development of Roman law as such and with its transformation from a small city-state to the land state and finally to a large empire with vast territories on three continents. During this evolution can be observed increasing demands on the state administration and various approaches to the territorial organization of the empire. On the one hand Italian territory was initially given priority as the Roman homeland, on the other hand were provincial units, which alone have been forced by Rome to pay taxes. In the period of dominate these differences were removed without significant exceptions. Sicily was standing at the birth of the provincial administration. Here arose the first forms of provincial rights and also appeared first practical problems of its active application. This remarkable island was a place where Rome learned to control other nations, province which funded the development of the late Republic of Rome, and a platform which helped to control the Mediterranean.

Seismic Site Effects (Data Analysis and Modelling)
Caserta, Arrigo ; Zahradník, Jiří (advisor) ; Růžek, Bohuslav (referee) ; Burjánek, Jan (referee)
A comprehensive study of the soil shaking under the seismic wave-field ex- citation is presented. It includes theoretical, geological, geotechnical, data analysis and numerical simulations aspects. The aim is to quantify the main parameters allowing the estimate of the soil shaking in urban areas for better mitigating seismic risk due to future earthquakes. The city of Rome has been chosen as a case study because of its high density of popula- tion and large concentration of historical monuments with high earthquake vulnerability. This study improves significantly the knowledge concerning the detailed near-surface geology of the chosen study area of Rome, ful- fills the absence both of knowledge concerning its geotechnical properties and earthquake data recordings in the city. Among others, it allows for a better explanation of the spatial damage pattern observed in the city due to earthquakes in the past. The main innovations include the construction and long-term operation a seismic array in the city, analysis of the natural seismic noise, and instrumental recordings of the 2009 L'Aquila earthquake sequence. The 3D array (including a borehole sensor at 70-m depth) is the first one in Italy planned, realized and operated within an urban area, and the first one that recorded a significant earthquake in...

The usage of potential Rome as a destination for Czech tourists
HLAVÁČKOVÁ, Michaela
The theme of my thesis is Rome, the Eternal city. This city attracts the attention of millions of tourists from all over the world. Tourists are fascinated by its fame, affluence, luxury and glitter of marble palaces. Each of emperors wanted to leave a heritage for next generations. The greatest and most impressive heritage is the Coloseum. This huge construction of emperor Vespasian have been a symbol of strength and invincibleness of the empire since then. My ambition is to display beauty and magnitude both antient and modern Rome. It is famous for its history, emperors, symbols of the city and the films, which was take place in the city, and about famous direktor Federico Felliny. I suggested five tours in where I want to present both best-known and less-known however not less interesting sights. Fifth tour is situated near beautiful lake Bracciano. Tourists can admire Etruscan memories and discovery site.
