| | | | | National Museum of Denmark: Encyclopedia II - Christiansborg Palace - The Marble Bridge and the pavilions In Häusser's original project from the first Christiansborg, the two wings of the palace were linked by a gatehouse at the Frederiksholm Canal end, and a drawbridge lead over the canal.

| | | | | National Museum of Denmark: Encyclopedia II - Past and present anarchist communities - Historical examples of societies successfully organized according to anarchist principles In recent history there have been numerous instances of collapse of state authority, sometimes prompted by war but also often due to implosion of the state. In some cases, state collapse is followed by lawlessness, rioting, looting and, if disarray lasts long enough, warlordism. Although such societies are often described as anarchy, they are not organized according to anarchist principles.
However, there are instances in which a society peacefully organizes itself without a government or other form of centralized power, along philoso ...

| | | | | National Museum of Denmark: Encyclopedia II - La Tène culture - La Tène culture As with many archaeological periods, La Tène history was originally divided into "early" (6th century BC), "middle" (ca 450–100 BC), and "late" (1st century BC) stages, with the Roman occupation effectively driving the culture underground and ending its development.
La Tène metalwork is characterized by intricate spirals and interlace, on fine bronze vessels, helmets and shields, horse trappings and elite jewelry, especially the neck bracelets called torcs and elaborate clasps called fibulae. It is characterized by elegant, ...
