Visions of the Future in Roman Frontier Kingdoms 100 BCE–100 CE
This is the first book-length exploration of the ways art from the edges of the Roman Empire represented the future, examining visual representations of time and the role of artwork in Roman imperial systems. This book focuses on four kingdoms from across the empire: Cottius’s Alpine kingdom in the north, King Juba II’s Mauretania in the south-west, Herodian Judea in the east, and Kommagene to the north-east. Art from the imperial frontier is rarely considered through the lens of the aesthetics of time, and Roman provincial art and the monuments of allied rulers are typically interpreted as evidence of the interaction between Roman and local identities. In this interdisciplinary study, w...

Becoming Roman?
Few empires had such an impact on the conquered peoples as did the Roman empire, creating social, economic, and cultural changes that erased long-standing differences in material culture, languages, cults, rituals and identities. But even Rome could not create a single unified culture. Individual decisions introduced changes in material culture, identity, and behavior, creating local cultures within the global world of the Roman empire that were neither Roman nor native. The author uses Northwest Italy as an exemplary case as it went from a marginal zone to one of the most flourishing and strongly urbanized regions of Italy, while developing a unique regional culture. This volume will appeal to researchers interested in the Roman Empire, as well as those interested in individual and cultural identity in the past.
Official Power and Local Elites in the Roman Provinces
Presenting a new and revealing overview of the ruling classes of the Roman Empire, this volume explores aspects of the relations between the official state structures of Rome and local provincial elites. The central objective of the volume is to present as complex a picture as possible of the provincial leaderships and their many and varied responses to the official state structures. The perspectives from which issues are approached by the contributors are as multiple as the realities of the Roman world: from historical and epigraphic studies to research of philological and linguistic interpretations, and from architectural analyses to direct interpretations of the material culture. While so...

A Companion to the Archaeology of the Roman Empire, 2 Volume Set
A one-of-a-kind exploration of archaeological evidence from the Roman Empire between 44 BCE and 337 CE In A Companion to the Archaeology of the Roman Empire, distinguished scholar and archaeologist Professor Barbara Burrell delivers an illuminating and wide-ranging discussion of peoples, institutions, and their material remains across the Roman Empire. Divided into two parts, the book begins by focusing on the “unifying factors,” institutions and processes that affected the entire empire. This ends with a chapter by Professor Greg Woolf, Ronald J. Mellor Professor of Ancient History at UCLA, which summarizes and enlarges upon the themes and contributions of the volume. Meanwhile, the sec...
Forme e tempi dell'urbanizzazione nella Cisalpina (II secolo a.C.-I secolo d.C.). Atti delle Giornate di studio (Torino, 4-6 maggio 2006)
Presentazione Gli aspetti e i problemi del fenomeno di urbanizzazione del territorio piemontese in età romana ricevono nuova luce dal progredire delle ricerche archeologiche che negli ultimi anni si sono condotte nella nostra regione. Non diversamente, la conoscenza di questo fenomeno e lo studio delle emergenze urbanistiche e architettoniche nelle altre regioni dell'Italia settentrionale hanno avuto un notevole incremento nell'ultimo periodo. Giova dunque proporre una nuova riflessione generale su questo e sugli altri annosi problemi della Romanizzazione a nord e a sud del Po, quale periodicamente si impone nel nostro campo di studi. Con queste Giornate, dunque, si è inteso riproporre una...
I centri produttori di ceramica in Piemonte (secoli XVII-XIX)
Il volume raccoglie gli Atti del Convegno promosso nel 1999 dall’Amministrazione provinciale di Biella e dalla Soprintendenza per i Beni Archeologici del Piemonte. Gli studi presentati approfondiscono, secondo ottiche diverse ma convergenti, siano esse archeologiche o storico documentarie, le conoscenze su realtà produttive e su aspetti culturali e socio-economici del territorio regionale piemontese nei secoli XVII-XIX. Ne emerge un quadro fortemente articolato, di produzioni ceramiche di elevata qualità artistica, realizzate secondo modelli originali come nelle fabbriche di Asti, Torino, Castellamonte, che operavano in concorrenza con i centri del Piemonte meridionale e in particolare Mondovì, oppure mediati attraverso il trasferimento di maestranze dall’area ligure come nel caso di Cassine. Particolare rilevanza assumono le produzioni di ceramiche popolari del Biellese, note dai documenti come “bielline” e diffuse, attraverso vaste reti commerciali, fin sui mercati svizzeri e lombardi.
In Search of the Phoenicians
Who were the ancient Phoenicians—and did they actually exist? The Phoenicians traveled the Mediterranean long before the Greeks and Romans, trading, establishing settlements, and refining the art of navigation. But who these legendary sailors really were has long remained a mystery. In Search of the Phoenicians makes the startling claim that the "Phoenicians" never actually existed as such. Taking readers from the ancient world to today, this book argues that the notion of these sailors as a coherent people with a shared identity, history, and culture is a product of modern nationalist ideologies—and a notion very much at odds with the ancient sources.
