Villa Arianna at Stabiae
The archaeological investigation and the architectural survey conducted at Villa Arianna at Stabiae between 2010 and 2019 form the core of this book. The author's motivation to start on a large-scale study began with the wall constructions, paintings, and mosaics that have gradually been uncovered over the years. His book offers an in-depth comprehension of the history, the decorations, and the construction dynamics of the building from its foundation as country villa to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE. For the first time it provides a synthesis of the archaeological evidence, the ancient texts and the journals of the Bourbon age excavations. The first part of the book is divided int...
Beyond Pompeii
Between the Vesuvio slopes and the front coastline, there are several archaeological sites of significant cultural and landscape interest, far less popular than Pompei but not less fascinating. These sites, including the ancient towns of Stabiae and Oplontis up until the coastal city of Sorrento, resemble a constellation surrounded by the metropolitan sprawl and lay in the country of the Campania Region like hidden pearls, as the lack of efficient public transport connections makes these destinations difficult to reach for international tourists. This paper, therefore, discusses different ideas for the design of a Cultural and Touristic District, which may improve their accessibility by link...
Written Space in the Latin West, 200 BC to AD 300
This volume explores the creation of 'written spaces' through the accretion of monumental inscriptions and non-official graffiti in the Latin-speaking West between c.200 BC and AD 300. The shift to an epigraphic culture demonstrates new mentalities regarding the use of language, the relationship between local elites and the population, and between local elites and the imperial power. The creation of both official and non-official inscriptions is one of the most recognisable facets of the Roman city. The chapters of this book consider why urban populations created these written spaces and how these spaces in turn affected those urban civilisations. They also examine how these inscriptions interacted to create written spaces that could inculcate a sense of 'Roman-ness' into urban populations whilst also acting as a means of differentiating communities from each other. The volume includes new approaches to the study of political entities, social institutions, graffiti and painting, and the differing trajectories of written spaces in the cities of Roman Africa, Italy, Spain and Gaul.
L'insediamento romano di Chiunsano. Gli scavi dellUniversità di Bochum (1992-2000)
L’area dell’insediamento romano di Chiunsano, nel territorio comunale di Gaiba (Rovigo), già indagata da Alfonso Alfonsi con alcune trincee nel 1904, è stata oggetto di nove campagne di scavo, condotte sistematicamente dal 1992 al 2000 dall’Università di Bochum, sotto la direzione del prof. Hermann Büsing. Il volume presenta l’esito delle ricerche sul campo, che hanno consentito di ricostruire la planimetria e le principali vicende edilizie del complesso, testimonianza della plurisecolare presenza della romanità nel territorio polesano, unitamente ai risultati dell’attività di catalogazione e di studio dei reperti, che ha coinvolto nell’opera numerosi specialisti. Alcuni rinvenimenti, tra i quali il corredo funerario della cosiddetta “Dama di Chiunsano”, straordinario per la ricchezza e la provenienza eterogenea degli oggetti d’ornamento, databili tra la seconda metà del V e gli inizi del VI secolo d.C., testimoniano una frequentazione del sito anche in epoca tardoantica.
