dc.description.abstractThe city of Rome was the capital of an empire that stretched from the Pillars of Hercules in the West to the Euphrates River in the East. This dissertation seeks to quantify the Augustan (27 BCE- 14 CE) and Severan (193-211 CE) populations of this city. For the time of Augustus, the population shall reckon from a group of 250,000 male citizens in receipt of state-funded largesse, estimating the number of women, children, slaves, freedmen, and foreigners that such a number may support. The Severan population will be measured using a statistical model estimating the floor area of all residential housing and dividing this total by the average floor area per person. A range of interpretations will emerge from this evidence, so I shall offer both a possible and a probable range of population, so that others can see the upper and lower limits allowed by the data.en_US

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
