Antoninský Limes: Srovnání Antoninova valu a Odenwaldsko-Neckarské sekce Hornogermánského limitu
Dyčka, Michal ; Musil, Jiří (advisor) ; Rummel, Christoph (referee) ; Collins, Robert Michael (referee)
Despite the Limes Romanus has already been studied for more than 150 years, fundamental questions such as its construction, later modifications and primary function itself are still a matter of dynamic debate. From the historical sources it is currently known that a major role during the construction and planning of the whole system performed so called agrimensores using the simple geodetic tools like groma. Therefore, the essential role during the construction of the Limes had the direct visibility between individual sites of the future frontier. The core of this thesis is the presentation of the results of the so called viewshed analysis of individual sites on the Odenwald Limes (Germany) and on the Antonine Wall (Scotland). Based on combination of this method with results of the other spatial analyses in GIS, the nodal sites for both the surveying and operation of the Limes are detected in each studied sector. The thesis is also dealing with the distribution of the units in the landscape, terrain definition of the positioning of individual parts of the Limes as well as with the possibility of mutual signal communication between individual parts of the frontier. The main goal of the thesis is to shed a bit more light on the fundamental questions: how the Limes Romanus was supposed to operate and...

Ancient astrology: signs of zodiac
Látalová, Petra ; Musil, Jiří (advisor) ; Stančo, Ladislav (referee)
V dnešní době, kdy se řada lidí odvrací od exaktních věd a hledá určitou alternativu k čistě racionálnímu obrazu světa, se zvyšuje zájem o esoteriku, parapsychologii, alternativní medicínu a také astrologii. Astrologie Je obor, který se zabývá vztahy mez1 postaveními Slunce, Měsíce, planet a hvězd a děním na Zemi. Ačkoli řada odpůrců jí upírá označení vědní disciplíny, je astrologie podobně jako věda založena na empirii, pozorování a statistických metodách, ve kterých rovněž využívá poznatků astronomie. Při svých interpretacích vychází z názoru, že vesmír tvoří jeden celek a tedy všechny jeho součásti nutně musí souviset s ostatními. Právě díky mému hlubšímu zájmu o astrologii jsem se rozhodla zjistit více o tom, odkud vlastně astrologie vzešla, jak se dále šířila a rozvíjela, zdali už v antickém světě dosáhla takové úrovně a poznatků, jakými disponuje dnes a také v jakém prostředí a kým byla praktikována. Výše zmíněné otázky se pokusím zodpovědět v jednotlivých kapitolách. Celá práce bude rozdělena na dvě části, přičemž v první nastíním vývoj astrologické disciplíny a její šíření v antickém světě, ve druhé se budu věnovat jednotlivým znamením zvěrokruhu a jejich zobrazením. Také se dotknu některých astronomických otázek, neboť právě astronomie s astrologií úzce souvisí a její rozvoj byl velmi důležitý pro...
