Acoustic Design of Ancient Buildings: the Odea of Pompeii and Posillipo
buildings Article Acoustic Design of Ancient Buildings: The Odea of Pompeii and Posillipo Giuseppe Ciaburro *, Gino Iannace , Ilaria Lombardi and Amelia Trematerra Department of Architecture and Industrial Design, Università degli Studi della Campania Luigi Vanvitelli, Borgo San Lorenzo, 81031 Aversa (Ce), Italy; [email protected] (G.I.); [email protected] (I.L.); [email protected] (A.T.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-0818122530 Received: 10 October 2020; Accepted: 25 November 2020; Published: 2 December 2020 Abstract: In this paper, a typology of a building erected in Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome is described: the Odeon. The Odeon is a covered building, but more modest in size than traditional open-air theatres without roofs. The Odeon could hold a few hundred spectators and therefore a smaller audience. The roof covering allowed the possibility of meetings even in adverse weather conditions. The etymology of the word of the Odeon (covered theatre) means the place of the ode, or of the songs. In this paper are discussed the architectonic and acoustic characteristics of the Odea of Pompeii and Posillipo. With commercial software (Odeon, Room Acoustics Software, Lyngby Denmark) we assess the acoustic characteristics of the Odea of Pompeii and Posillipo in the presence of an original rooﬁng system and show that these buildings were well suited for music, songs and speech. Keywords: ancient theatres; Odeon; cavea; orchestra; reverberation time; audience 1. Introduction The ancients had no scientiﬁc knowledge of the physics of sound; they relied on the observation and interpretation of natural phenomena in a mythological key and through oracles.

Stoa Poikile) Built About 475-450 BC
Arrangement Classical Greek cities – either result of continuous growth, or created at a single moment. Former – had streets –lines of communication, curving, bending- ease gradients. Later- had grid plans – straight streets crossing at right angles- ignoring obstacles became stairways where gradients were too steep. Despite these differences, certain features and principles of arrangement are common to both. Greek towns Towns had fixed boundaries. In 6th century BC some were surrounded by fortifications, later became more frequent., but even where there were no walls - demarcation of interior and exterior was clear. In most Greek towns availability of area- devoted to public use rather than private use. Agora- important gathering place – conveniently placed for communication and easily accessible from all directions. The Agora Of Athens • Agora originally meant "gathering place" but came to mean the market place and public square in an ancient Greek city. It was the political, civic, and commercial center of the city, near which were stoas, temples, administrative & public buildings, market places, monuments, shrines etc. • The agora in Athens had private housing, until it was reorganized by Peisistratus in the 6th century BC. • Although he may have lived on the agora himself, he removed the other houses, closed wells, and made it the centre of Athenian government. • He also built a drainage system, fountains and a temple to the Olympian gods. • Cimon later improved the agora by constructing new buildings and planting trees. • In the 5th century BC there were temples constructed to Hephaestus, Zeus and Apollo. • The Areopagus and the assembly of all citizens met elsewhere in Athens, but some public meetings, such as those to discuss ostracism, were held in the agora.

Introduction My name is Ciaran Lavelle; I am a 28 year old from Northern Ireland. I am a recent graduate of the ‘Conservation of Objects for Museums and Archaeology’ Bachelor of Science degree program at Cardiff University in Wales. My goal for my career is find employment in the field of object conservation in a museum or in the private sector and become an accredited conservator. I completed the three year conservation degree in Cardiff University in two years as a direct entry student, which allowed me to combine first and second year. During my first year at Cardiff I learned about the American School of Classical Studies at Athens conservation internship program through a fellow Greek student. So during my final year I decided I should apply for the internship so as to gain post graduate experience in a world renowned archaeological excavation and was successful with my application for the nine week program. I heard about the Zibby Garnett Travelling Fellowship through a past recipient of the fund whom I worked with and became friends with while working in the Transport Museum in Glasgow.

The "Agora" of Pausanias I, 17, 1-2
THE "AGORA" OF PAUSANIAS I, 17, 1-2 P AUSANIAS has given us a long description of the main square of ancient Athens, a place which we are accustomed to call the Agora following Classical Greek usage but which he calls the Kerameikos according to the usage of his own time. This name Kerameikos he uses no less than five times, and in each case it is clear that he is referringto the main square, the ClassicalAgora, of Athens. " There are stoas from the gates to the Kerameikos" he says on entering the city (I, 2, 4), and then, as he begins his description of the square, " the place called Kerameikoshas its name from the hero Keramos-first on the right is the Stoa Basileios as it is called " (I, 3, 1). Farther on he says " above the Kerameikosand the stoa called Basileios is the temple of Hephaistos " (I, 14, 6). Describing Sulla's captureof Athens in 86 B.C. he says that the Roman general shut all the Athenians who had opposed him into the Kerameikos and had one out of each ten of them killed (I, 20, 6). It is generally agreed that this refers to the Classical Agora. Finally, when visiting Mantineia in far-off Arcadia (VII, 9, 8) Pausanias reports seeing ".a copy of the painting in the Kerameikos showing the deeds of the Athenians at Mantineia." The original painting in Athens was in the Stoa of Zeus on the main square, and Pausanias had already described it in his account of Athens (I, 3, 4).

Athens After the Liberation Planningthe New Cityand Exploringthe Old*
ATHENS AFTER THE LIBERATION PLANNINGTHE NEW CITYAND EXPLORINGTHE OLD* (PLATES80-86) A THENS on the eve of the Greek Revolution of 1821 displayeda three-dimensional record of the city's historical development; it was also a remarkablypicturesque place. Monuments of antiquity and of the Roman period, elegant Byzantine churches, remains of the Frankish conquest, mosques with tall minarets, and secular buildings were still preserved almost intact, while the houses, all built of stone, with their ever present courtyardsand verdant gardens, completed the picture. The wall of Haseki, built in 1778, surroundedthe city, and the Acropolis, "the Castle", with its successive fortificationsconstituted an invulnerable fortress. On its summit an entire quarter for the Turkish garrisonand their families had been created, and a small mosque had been constructedwithin the Parthenon after its destruction by Morosini in 1687 (Fig. 1, Pls. 80, 81). The Athenians, with the help of the villagers of Attica, revolted against the Turks on the 25th of April 1821, and on the 10th of June 1822 they gained control of the Acropolis. During this siege the first destruction of Athens and its monuments oc- curred. In the four subsequent years, however, when the Athenians ruled their own city, they were able to display notable cultural achievements. At that time they also took care of their antiquities:on the initiative of the Philomousos Society, founded in 1813, they collected various antiquities, decided to found a temporary museum and simultaneously brought to light many monuments by removing the buildings which kept them from view. In the same period, Kyriakos Pittakis, the first Greek archaeologist, having been appointed supervisor of the water supply, discovered at the northeast corner of the Acropolis, below the cliffs, the famous Klepsydra spring mentioned by Pausanias (X.28.4).It was the first certain identificationof an ancient monument at a time when students of Athenian topography were trying unsuccessfully to identify the various monuments.

Acoustics of the Odeon Herodes Atticus
Proceedings of the Institute of Acoustics AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE ACOUSTICS OF THE ODEON OF HERODES ATTICUS Eleni Tavelidou MSc, Solent University Chris Barlow Prof, PhD, MIOA, MAES, Solent University 1 INTRODUCTION An increased interest in the study of the acoustical properties of ancient performance spaces has been reported in recent years. The revival and reproduction of the sound of historical monuments can nowadays be achieved by means of computer modelling software as well as in situ measurements in the view to clarify their acoustic evolution over time[1]. This work has also been encouraged by a number of charters, guidelines and projects put forward from 1931 till nowadays [2], [3]. With the advent of Virtual Reality technologies and 3D environments of high level of detail and accuracy, a realistic representation and navigation within those monuments can also be achieved. This remote real-world experience can serve educational purposes and enhance visitor experience in museums and historical exhibitions. This study investigates the acoustics of an ancient Greek Odeon; the Odeon of Herodes Atticus. Odea were ancient Greek and Roman roofed theatres mainly intended for recitations of an ode (song), hence the name of the structure “Odeon” or “Odeion” as it is also found in the current literature [4], [5].They were often funded by private bodies and tended to be smaller in size compared to the open- air theatres of the same era, but comprised a more elaborate internal décor than the latter [6]. The Odeon of Herodes Atticus (hereafter Odeon HA) is located in Greece in the western part of the ancient Athenian city, Acropolis and it was built by Herodes Atticus, a rich Greek aristocrat and sophist, between 160-169 A.D.
