This book was released on 2022-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is an anthology of papers written on the bas-relief sculpture, containing original observations and collected during the 1981-1988 restoration, when it was possible to examine close up all the scenes on the frieze, as never before. Curator of the work is Cinzia Conti, restorer and archaeologist, who was involved in the direction of the restoration, undertaken under Law March 23, 1981 no. 92 Urgent Measures for the Protection of the archaeological Heritage of Rome. The book is presented by the then head of the archaeology department, Adriano La Regina, who was responsible for the entire program. The splendour of the sculptured surface and vividness of the scenes are a testimony to the enduring effectiveness of the restoration. Many of the writings have already been presented at conferences and published, thus verified by the international community. Collected together in this book, they are complemented by a new concluding paper.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most important monuments of Imperial Rome and at the same time one of the most poorly understood, the Column of Marcus Aurelius has long stood in the shadow of the Column of Trajan. In The Column of Marcus Aurelius, Martin Beckmann makes a thorough study of the form, content, and meaning of this infrequently studied monument. Beckmann employs a new approach to the column, one that focuses on the process of its creation and construction, to uncover the cultural significance of the column to the Romans of the late second century A.D. Using clues from ancient sources and from the monument itself, this book traces the creative process step by step from the first decision to build the monument through the processes of planning and construction to the final carving of the column's relief decoration. The conclusions challenge many of the widely held assumptions about the value of the column's 700-foot-long frieze as a historical source. By reconstructing the creative process of the column's sculpture, Beckmann opens up numerous new paths of analysis not only to the Column of Marcus Aurelius but also to Roman imperial art and architecture in general.

Book excerpt: "Domitian's Dacian War, two punitive expeditions mounted as a border defense against raids of Moesia from Dacia in 86?87 AD ordered by the Emperor Titus Flavius Domitianus against Dacia and the Dacian king Decebalus Trajan's Dacian Wars, two campaigns of conquest ordered or led by the Emperor Trajan in 101?102 AD and 105?106 AD from Moesia against Dacia and Decebalus ... Trajan's Column (Italian: Colonna Traiana) is a Roman triumphal column in Rome, Italy, that commemorates Roman emperor Trajan's victory in the Dacian Wars. It was probably constructed under the supervision of the architect Apollodorus of Damascus at the order of the Roman Senate. It is located in Trajan's Forum, built near the Quirinal Hill, north of the Roman Forum. Completed in AD 113, the freestanding column is most famous for its spiral bas relief, which artistically describes the epic wars between the Romans and Dacians (101?102 and 105?106). Its design has inspired numerous victory columns, both ancient and modern."--Wikipedia.

Download or read book Apollodorus Mechanicus, Siege-matters written by Apollodorus (di Damasco.) and published by Franz Steiner Verlag Wiesbaden GmbH. This book was released on 2010 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apollodorus of Damascus is the best-known architekton of the early second century AD, the era of Trajan and Hadrian. In the civil domain he is credited with planning and constructing prestigious projects in Rome itself, including Trajan's Forum and Baths; in the military sphere he bridged the Danube and wrote a Siege-matters treatise for his patron-emperor. Addressed (it is argued here) to Trajan rather than Hadrian, and with a view to the campaigning conditions anticipated in Dacia, the treatise therefore proffered suggestions and designs suitable for a Roman army operating in that rugged terrain and attacking its hill-top settlements. However, as P. H. Blyth first realised, what has been transmitted under Apollodorus' name includes many later elaborations, armchair-fantasy inventions which, if ever built, could never have been effective. This, the work's first English translation and the first full commentary on it in any language, gives modern readers criteria for differentiating between these two disparate categories of material, thus allowing an assessment of each component in the terms appropriate to it.

Download or read book Art and Rhetoric in Roman Culture written by Jaś Elsner and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-10-02 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rhetoric was fundamental to education and to cultural aspiration in the Greek and Roman worlds. It was one of the key aspects of antiquity that slipped under the line between the ancient world and Christianity erected by the early Church in late antiquity. Ancient rhetorical theory is obsessed with examples and discussions drawn from visual material. This book mines this rich seam of theoretical analysis from within Roman culture to present an internalist model for some aspects of how the Romans understood, made and appreciated their art. The understanding of public monuments like the Arch of Titus or Trajan's Column or of imperial statuary, domestic wall painting, funerary altars and sarcophagi, as well as of intimate items like children's dolls, is greatly enriched by being placed in relevant rhetorical contexts created by the Roman world.
