The Impact of the Roman Empire on Landscapes
This volume presents the results of the fourteenth workshop of the international network 'Impact of Empire'. It focuses on the ways in which Rome's dominance influenced, changed, and created landscapes, and examines in which ways (Roman) landscapes were narrated and semantically represented. To assess the impact of Rome on landscapes, some of the twenty contributions in this volume analyse functions and implications of newly created infrastructure. Others focus on the consequences of colonisation processes, settlement structures, regional divisions, and legal qualifications of land. Lastly, some contributions consider written and pictorial representations and their effects. In doing so, the volume offers new insights into the notion of ‘Roman landscapes’ and examines their significance for the functioning of the Roman empire.
Law and Power
In the Roman world, landscapes became legal and institutional constructions, being the core of social, political, religious, and economic life. The Romans developed ambitious urban transformations, seeking to equate civic monumentality and legal status. The built environment becomes the axis of the legal, administrative, sacred, and economic system and the main element of dissemination of imperial ideology. This volume follows the modern trend of a multifaceted, composite, multi-layered Roman world, but at the same time reduces its complexity. It views ‘Roman’ not only in the sense of power politics, but also in a cultural context. It highlights ‘landscapes’ and puts into the shadow important administrative and legal structures, i.e., individuals viz. local and imperial members of the elites living in cities, which ran the Roman world.
Tradition and Power in the Roman Empire
This volume focuses on the interface between tradition and the shifting configuration of power structures in the Roman Empire. By examining various time periods and locales, its contributions show the Empire as a world filed with a wide variety of cultural, political, social, and religious traditions. These traditions were constantly played upon in the processes of negotiation and (re)definition that made the empire into a superstructure whose coherence was embedded in its diversity.
The Archaeology of Roman Macedonia
Macedonia is a region that provides its own intriguing questions due to its position on the fringe of the classical Greek world. It is also an area which is of special interest to students of history and archaeology of Roman period Greece since it was the first to be incorporated in the Roman state. Macedonia shared a similar path of development with Achaea during the imperial period. As provinces far from productive zones and frontiers, both played a minor role in the imperial administrative structure. Beneath this similarity, however, lie many differences: in Macedonia's proximity to the Balkans, its early contact with Rome, its relatively low level of urbanization, its multicultural conte...

Diálogo sobre el gusto y otros escritos de estética
Esta edición recoge las tres obras que Ramsay dedicó a temas de estética, traducidas por primera vez al castellano: 'Ensayo sobre el ridículo' (1753), 'Diálogo sobre el gusto' (1754) e 'Investigación sobre la villa sabina de Horacio' (inédita en vida del autor). Su lectura conjunta proporciona una síntesis de los principales temas de estética y teoría del arte europeos de la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII. Por un lado, Ramsay fue el primero en problematizar filosóficamente el gusto, cuya desconfianza ante este le condujo a priorizar la mimesis aristotélica, generando toda la reflexión posterior sobre la norma del gusto; por otro, su conocimiento de los restos y de las teorías históricas de la Antigüedad grecorromana hizo que denigrara a los romanos ante los griegos, alineándose con Winckelmann y dando lugar a la encendida crítica de Piranesi.

Il valore dei gesti e degli oggetti. Monete e altri elementi in contesti funerari
I rituali funerari delle società antiche e medievali sono ricchi di piccoli gesti che non possono passare inosservati. Negli ultimi anni, molti ricercatori che si dedicano all’archeologia della morte hanno concentrato la loro attenzione sulla traccia di questi comportamenti, analizzando in dettaglio molti dei materiali rinvenuti nelle sepolture. Monete, gioielli, ceramiche, ossa, cibo e fiori sono alcuni degli oggetti che venivano frequentemente utilizzati per dare l’addio al defunto. L’analisi dettagliata di questi materiali in ampi contesti funerari dimostra che la loro scelta e collocazione nelle tombe era ricca di significati che variavano a seconda delle epoche, delle regioni e d...
