Book Description
This dissertation presents a study of monumental temples built or appropriated by the Romans in the province of Asia from the late 1st to the middle 2nd century AD. The practice of constructing extraordinarily large temples in Asia originated during the Hellenistic period but ceased for several centuries until the Roman Empire took control of the region and began to build monumental temples in the province. This study focuses on five temples that best represent the Roman relationship with monumental temple building in the province of Asia: the Wadi B Temple at Sardis, the Vetters Temple at Ephesus, the Red Hall at Pergamon, the Temple of Hadrian at Cyzicus, and the Temple of Artemis and Antoninus Pius at Sardis. In contrast to previous studies that examined each individual temple, this dissertation looks at them as a group according to their design, cult affiliation, size, and setting. Although each of the five temples is unique, they are unified by a shared monumentality, especially as it is encouraged by their syntheses of Roman and Greek design, affiliations with the Roman Imperial Cult, enormous sizes, and strategic placements. This study confirms that a Roman Imperial campaign of monumental temple building existed in the province of Asia and concludes that the five representative temples appear to have been constructed to promote regional acculturation within the Roman Empire. By harnessing the local Asian tradition of monumentality, the Romans built the five noted temples to be prominent reminders of Roman Imperial rule that also emphasized the rich architectural and cultural history of the region. Through these five temples, therefore, the Romans evoked the memory of a fondly remembered regional past while at the same time affirming the contributions and the importance of the province and its cities to the Empire.

Funerary Monuments in the Interior of the Roman Province of Dalmatia
Author: Edisa Lozić
Publisher: Založba ZRC

Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
Pričujoče delo se ukvarja z vprašanjem organizacije kamnoseške proizvodnje nagrobnih spomenikov na prostoru notranjega dela nekdanje rimske province Dalmacije. Cilj raziskave je bil prepoznati model kamnoseške proizvodnje, ki se je oblikoval na goratem in težko prehodnem območju, kjer so možnosti vodnega transporta kamnitega materiala minimalne. Avtorica izhajala iz predpostavke, da so se v času rimske oblasti na nekaterih geografskih območji oblikovala proizvodna središča, ki so za svoje delovanje uporabljala lokalne vira apnenca. Študija zajema nagrobne spomenike, odkrite na prostoru današnje Bosne in Hercegovine in zahodnega dela Srbije in Črne gore. S kombinacijo metod makroskopske petrografske analize kamnin in tipološke analize ter prostorske analize je pokazala na obstoj več proizvodnih središč. Rezultati analiz kažejo na zelo verjetno možnost, da so izkoriščali lokalne vire apnenca. Epigrafski podatki pa so omogočili njihov obstoj tudi časovno opredeliti.

Sacred Monuments and Practices in the Baltic Sea Region
Author: Janne Harjula
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1527509702
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 347
Book Description
This book represents the outcome of the “Conference on Church Archaeology in the Baltic Sea Region” held in August 2013 in Turku, Finland, which, in turn, had its roots in the long tradition of Scandinavian Symposia for Nordic Church Archaeology, started in 1981 in Denmark. During the past few decades, the scope of church archaeology has expanded immensely and can presently be described as a multifaceted field of research. This book represents a convincing testament to this development. Every chapter gives a distinctive perspective on the theme of sacred monuments and practices written by leading experts in this field. As such, this volume offers unique insights into the study of religious life and its material aspects in the Baltic Sea Region, made available for English-readers for the first time.

Roman Imperialism and Civic Patronage
Author: Brenda Longfellow
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 0521194938
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
In this book, Brenda Longfellow examines one of the features of Roman Imperial cities, the monumental civic fountain. Built in cities throughout the Roman Empire during the first through third centuries AD, these fountains were imposing in size, frequently adorned with grand sculptures, and often placed in highly trafficked areas. Over twenty-five of these urban complexes can be associated with emperors. Dr. Longfellow situates each of these examples within its urban environment and investigates the edifice as a product of an individual patron and a particular historical and geographical context. She also considers the role of civic patronage in fostering a dialogue between imperial and provincial elites with the local urban environment. Tracing the development of the genre across the empire, she illuminates the motives and ideologies of imperial and local benefactors in Rome and the provinces and explores the complex interplay of imperial power, patronage, and the local urban environment.
