Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cette synthèse sur l'architecture romaine comportera deux tomes, le second étant consacré aux palais impériaux, à l'habitat urbain et aux monuments funéraires. Elle est, en langue française, la première du genre. Les anciens manuels en italien, en anglais et en allemand, qui furent en leur temps fort utiles, s'avèrent aujourd'hui sur bien des points incomplets ou insuffisants. La réflexion sur l'architecture romaine s'est, au cours de ces dernières décennies, enrichie de nouvelles connaissances, élargie à de nouveaux domaines, lestée de nouvelles problématiques. Les conquêtes de l'analyse monumentale et de l'archéologie urbaine ont remis en question beaucoup d'idées reçues : de Rome à Mérida, d'Arles à Jerash, de Bath à Carthage, les acquisitions sont multiples. Non seulement l'éventail des édifices identifiables s'est beaucoup élargi, mais la typologie des principaux monuments, la genèse de leur forme et leur évolution ne peuvent plus être présentées selon les méthodes mises en œuvre dans les précédentes synthèses. Ce premier volume, qui tire parti des découvertes les plus récentes, est consacré à l'architecture publique des villes et des sanctuaires. L'auteur y traite des principales composantes du paysage urbain aux trois derniers siècles de la République et aux deux premiers siècles de l'Empire, envisageant successivement : les éléments de définition et d'articulation de l'espace urbain (enceintes et portes de ville ; arcs honorifiques et triomphaux ; portiques et quadriportiques) ; les composantes des centres monumentaux (temples ; forums ; basiliques ; curies) ; les édifices du spectacle et du loisir (théâtres et odéons ; amphithéâtres ; cirques et stades ; bibliothèques et auditoriums ; sièges d'associations) ; les monuments des eaux (thermes ; fontaines et nymphées ; latrines publiques) ; les monuments du commerce et du stockage (marchés ; greniers et entrepôts). Echappant aux simplifications et ne négligeant aucune des variantes provinciales, cette typologie systématique s'apparente, pour chaque monument, à une histoire architecturale développée sur la longue durée. Elle porte une attention particulière à la définition des prototypes, à leur monumentalisation progressive et aux modifications induites par les besoins spécifiques des communautés, la diversité des aires culturelles et l'évolution des climats politiques.

This book was released on 2020-02-12 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume addresses the treatment and perception of historic buildings in Imperial Rome, examining the ways in which public monuments were restored in order to develop an understanding of the Roman concept of built heritage. It considers examples from the first century BC to the second century AD, focusing primarily on the six decades between the Great Fire of AD 64 and the AD 120s, which constituted a period of dramatic urban transformation and architectural innovation in Rome. Through a detailed analysis of the ways in which the design, materiality, and appearance of buildings - including the temple of Jupiter Capitolinus and hut of Romulus - developed with successive restorations, the case is made for the existence of a consistent approach to the treatment of historic buildings in this period. This study also explores how changes to particular monuments and to the urban fabric as a whole were received by the people who experienced them first-hand, uncovering attitudes to built heritage in Roman society more widely. By examining descriptions of destruction and restoration in literature of the first and second centuries AD, including the works of Seneca the Younger, Pliny the Elder, Martial, Tacitus, and Plutarch, it forms a picture of the conflicting ways in which Rome's inhabitants responded to the redevelopment of their city. The results provide an alternative way of explaining key interventions in Rome's built environment and challenge the idea that heritage is a purely modern phenomenon.

Book excerpt: Le premier tome de cette synthèse sur l'architecture romaine, paru en 1996, était consacré aux monuments publics et traitait des principales composantes du paysage urbain aux trois derniers siècles de la République et aux deux premiers siècles de l'Empire. Ce second tome aborde, pour les mêmes périodes, l'analyse de ce qu'il est convenu d'appeler la " sphère du privé ", dont l'extension s'avère, dans le monde méditerranéen antique, à la fois plus large et plus restreinte que celle que nous lui reconnaissons dans nos sociétés contemporaines. S'il est un domaine ou les connaissances ont progressé au cours de ces dernières années, c'est bien celui de l'habitat. qui occupe le centre du présent volume : une sensibilité plus vive au cadre concret de l'existence, l'attention portée par les archéologues et les historiens aux structures les plus humbles et à tout ce qui constitua dans le passé la trame des jours ordinaires ont non seulement accru la documentation disponible mais aussi élargi les modes d'interrogation des vestiges. Dans le même temps l'approche sociologique des composantes de la demeure des classes aisées permettait de mieux déchiffrer les signes de la réussite ou de l'ostentation économique dans des architectures dont le rôle fonctionnel pouvait s'estomper au profit de fonctions représentatives très élaborées. Pour les villas, les harmoniques dominatrices de la construction s'affirment avec encore plus de clarté, car il s'agit d'établir la primauté d'une famille sur un domaine qui peut être énorme ; la dialectique entre les aménagements liés à la production et ceux qui expriment la fortune ou la culture du maître des lieux est révélatrice de l'esprit d'émulation qui règne entre les propriétaires d'un même territoire. La section consacrée aux monuments funéraires implique la mise en œuvre de méthodes différentes ; les tombeaux semblent en effet, dans l'esprit des théoriciens comme des bâtisseurs romains, hors du champ de l'architecture proprement dite. Malgré la multiplicité presque infinie des choix formels et décoratifs dont ils relèvent, ils n'en expriment pas moins, plus fidèlement que bien d'autres constructions, les prétentions, les espérances, la richesse ou la misère de ceux qui les ont fait élever ; leurs alignements le long des routes ont animé pendant des siècles le paysage suburbain et proposé une sorte d'image anticipée de la ville dont ils annonçaient la proximité. En guise de conclusion, deux chapitres regroupent et ordonnent les données répandues à travers ces deux volumes, concernant d'une part l'évolution de l'ordre corinthien, qui est l'ordre romain par excellence et dont l'influence sur l'architecture européenne allait être immense ; et d'autre part la formation, le statut social et les modes d'action des architectes, qu'ils soient engagés dans des programmes publics ou dans des opérations privées.

Download or read book The Architecture of the Roman Triumph written by Maggie L. Popkin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-07-22 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers the first critical study of the architecture of the Roman triumph, ancient Rome's most important victory ritual. Through case studies ranging from the republican to imperial periods, it demonstrates how powerfully monuments shaped how Romans performed, experienced, and remembered triumphs and, consequently, how Romans conceived of an urban identity for their city. Monuments highlighted Roman conquests of foreign peoples, enabled Romans to envision future triumphs, made triumphs more memorable through emotional arousal of spectators, and even generated distorted memories of triumphs that might never have occurred. This book illustrates the far-reaching impact of the architecture of the triumph on how Romans thought about this ritual and, ultimately, their own place within the Mediterranean world. In doing so, it offers a new model for historicizing the interrelations between monuments, individual and shared memory, and collective identities.

Download or read book The House of Augustus written by T. P. Wiseman and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-23 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A radical reexamination of the textual and archaeological evidence about Augustus and the Palatine Caesar Augustus (63 BC–AD 14), who is usually thought of as the first Roman emperor, lived on the Palatine Hill, the place from which the word “palace” originates. A startling reassessment of textual and archaeological evidence, The House of Augustus demonstrates that Augustus was never an emperor in any meaningful sense of the word, that he never had a palace, and that the so-called "Casa di Augusto" excavated on the Palatine was a lavish aristocratic house destroyed by the young Caesar in order to build the temple of Apollo. Exploring the Palatine from its first occupation to the present, T. P. Wiseman proposes a reexamination of the "Augustan Age," including much of its literature. Wiseman shows how the political and ideological background of Augustus' rise to power offers a radically different interpretation of the ancient evidence about the Augustan Palatine. Taking a long historical perspective in order to better understand the topography, Wiseman considers the legendary stories of Rome’s origins—in particular Romulus' foundation and inauguration of the city on the summit of the Palatine. He examines the new temple of Apollo and the piazza it overlooked, as well as the portico around it with its library used as a hall for Senate meetings, and he illustrates how Commander Caesar, who became Caesar Augustus, was the champion of the Roman people against an oppressive oligarchy corrupting the Republic. A decisive intervention in a critical debate among ancient historians and archaeologists, The House of Augustus recalibrates our views of a crucially important period and a revered public space.

Download or read book Karia and the Dodekanese written by Birte Poulsen and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2021-01-21 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Karia and the Dodekanese, Vol. II, presents new research that highlights cultural interrelations and connectivity in the Southeast Aegean and western Asia Minor over a period of more than 700 years. Throughout antiquity, this region was a dynamic meeting place for eastern and western civilizations. Modern geographical limitations have been influential on both archaeological investigations and how we approach cultural relations in the region. Comprehensive and valuable research has been carried out on many individual sites in Karia and the Dodekanese, but the results have rarely been brought together in an attempt to paint a larger picture of the culture of this region. In antiquity, the sea did not constitute an obstacle to interaction between societies and cultures, but was an effective means of communication for the exchange of goods, sculptural styles, architectural form and embellishment, education, and ideas. It is clear that close relations existed between the Dodekanese and western Asia Minor during the Classical period (Vol. I), but these relations were evidently further strengthened under the shifting political influences of the Hellenistic kings, the Roman Empire, and the cosmopolitan late antique period. The contributions in this volume comprise investigations on urbanism, architectural form and embellishment, sculpture, pottery, and epigraphy.

Download or read book Temples and Sanctuaries in the Roman East written by Arthur Segal and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lavishly illustrated volume presents a comprehensive architectural study of 87 individual temples and sanctuaries built in the Roman East between the end of the 1st century BCE and the end of the 3rd century CE, within a broad region encompassing the modern states of Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Jordan. Religious architecture gave faithful expression to the complexity of the Roman East and to its multiplicity of traditions pertaining to ethnic and religious aspects as well as to the powerful influence of Imperial Rome. The source of this power lay in the uniformity of the architectural language, the inventory of forms, the choice of styles and the spatial layout of the buildings. Thus, while temples have an eclectic character, there is an underlying unity of form comprising the podium, the stairway between the terminating walls (antae) and the columns along the entrance front - in other words, the axiality, frontality and symmetry of the temple as viewed from outside. The temples and sanctuaries studied in this volume demonstrate individual nuances of plan, spatial design, location in the sanctuary and interrelations with the immediate vicinity but can be divided into two main categories: Vitruvian temples (derived from Hellenistic-Roman architecture) and Non-Vitruvian temples (those with plans and spatial designs that cannot be analysed according to architectural criteria such as those defined by Vitruvius). The individual descriptions presented focus solely upon the analysis of the external and internal space of the temples of all types and do not involve any cultural or ethnic discussion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Dr Wallace makes a fundamental contribution to the study of urbanism in the Roman provinces. She attempts for the first time to present a detailed archaeological account of the first decade of one of the best-excavated cities in the Roman Empire. Delving into the artefact and structural reports from all excavations of pre-Boudican levels in London, she brings together vast quantities of data which are discussed and illustrated according to a novel methodology that address both the difficulties and complexity of 'grey literature' and urban excavation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Destruction of Cultural Heritage in 19th Century France examines the fate of the building stock and prominent ruins of France (especially Roman survivals) in the 19th century, supported by contemporary documentation and archives, largely provided through the publications of scholarly societies. The book describes the enormous extent of the destruction of monuments, providing an antidote to the triumphalism and concomitant amnesia which in modern scholarship routinely present the 19th century as one of concern for the past. It charts the modernising impulse over several centuries, detailing the archaeological discoveries made (and usually destroyed) as walls were pulled down and town interiors re-planned, plus the brutal impact on landscape and antiquities as railways were laid out. Heritage was largely scorned, and identity found in modernity, not the past.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, papers by leading Roman historians and archaeologists discuss trade within the Roman Empire and beyond its frontiers between c.100 BC and AD 350, focusing especially on the role of the Roman state in shaping the institutional framework for trade. As part of a novel interdisciplinary approach to the subject, the chapters address its myriad facets on the basis of broadly different sources of evidence - historical, papyrological, andarchaeological - demonstrating how collaborations with the elite holders of wealth within the empire fundamentally changed its political character in the longer term.
