The aim of the present survey was an investigation of the processes implemented for conceiving and setting up three types of ancient mazes which have come down to us on various media (stone, mosaic, painting, ceramic, coins…) from Prehistory to Middle Ages (and, for some, even later). The first part of this study was devoted to the so-called ‘Cretan’ mazes, and this second part focusses on a corpus of 43 ‘Roman’ mazes ranging from Portugal and England to Cyprus and from 100 BC to AD 330. Like the other one, this type is well individualized and homogeneous; it is characterized by several similar sectors run through, clockwise or anticlockwise. An introductory study of a maze exemplifies the fundamental duality between path and walls and the various types of meanders which are to be met with. Then a general processes for setting up a Roman maze, beginning with making a regular grid, going on with filling a sector and duplicating it and ending with managing an entrance/exit device, is proposed. Variants of the general prototype are also reviewed. In particular, in the course of this work a comparative study enabled to investigate the complex and intriguing maze of Pula (Croatia), the structure of which can now be better understood.

古代迷宫的几何形状:第二部分:“罗马”迷宫

本次调查的目的是调查为构想和设置三类古代迷宫而实施的过程,这些迷宫在史前至中世纪(各种媒介(石头,马赛克,绘画,陶瓷,硬币……)上都归于我们)并且,对于某些人,甚至更晚)。这项研究的第一部分专门研究所谓的“克里特”迷宫,而第二部分则重点研究了43种“罗马”迷宫的语料库,范围从葡萄牙和英国到塞浦路斯,从公元前100年到公元330年。一,这种类型的个体化很好并且是同质的;它的特点是顺时针或逆时针贯穿几个类似的扇区。对迷宫的介绍性研究例证了路径和墙壁之间基本的对偶性,以及将要遇到的各种类型的曲折。然后是建立罗马迷宫的一般流程,提出从建立规则的网格开始,接着填充一个扇区并进行复制,最后以管理入口/出口设备结束。一般原型的变体也进行了审查。特别是,在这项工作的过程中,进行了一项比较研究,以调查普拉(克罗地亚)复杂而有趣的迷宫,该迷宫的结构现在可以更好地理解。
