  • The Burial of the Urban Poor in Italy in the Late Republic and Early Empire
    Death, disposal and the destitute: The burial of the urban poor in Italy in the late Republic and early Empire Emma-Jayne Graham Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Archaeology University of Sheffield December 2004 IMAGING SERVICES NORTH Boston Spa, Wetherby West Yorkshire, LS23 7BQ www.bl.uk The following have been excluded from this digital copy at the request of the university: Fig 12 on page 24 Fig 16 on page 61 Fig 24 on page 162 Fig 25 on page 163 Fig 26 on page 164 Fig 28 on page 168 Fig 30on page 170 Fig 31 on page 173 Abstract Recent studies of Roman funerary practices have demonstrated that these activities were a vital component of urban social and religious processes. These investigations have, however, largely privileged the importance of these activities to the upper levels of society. Attempts to examine the responses of the lower classes to death, and its consequent demands for disposal and commemoration, have focused on the activities of freedmen and slaves anxious to establish or maintain their social position. The free poor, living on the edge of subsistence, are often disregarded and believed to have been unceremoniously discarded within anonymous mass graves (puticuli) such as those discovered at Rome by Lanciani in the late nineteenth century. This thesis re-examines the archaeological and historical evidence for the funerary practices of the urban poor in Italy within their appropriate social, legal and religious context. The thesis attempts to demonstrate that the desire for commemoration and the need to provide legitimate burial were strong at all social levels and linked to several factors common to all social strata.

This book sums up briefly the results of researches, extending over many years, in regard to the fate of the buildings and masterpieces of art in ancient Rome. In his work upon this subject and upon his large map Professor Lanciani has searched hundreds of volumes of municipal and ecclesiastical records, besides examining several thousand separate documents ; and he has ran- sacked the principal libraries of Europe for prints and drawings showing the remains of ancient Rome at differ- ent periods. Much of the new material thus collected will appear in fuller form in an extensive work, compris- ing several volumes, which will be published in Italian under the title Storia degli Scavi di Roma. The present volume is a forerunner of the larger work.

He would have to wait almost 32 years! It was the summer of 1982 when I, aged 24, first made my way down the Appian Way with my wife Rosemary. It was baking hot and the grass was burned yellow. We made it all the way to the imposing ruins of the Villa of the Quintilii where I posed for a photograph in front of the Nymphaeum which faced on to the ancient Roman road. Back then the Villa was not open to the public. A vast complex, the main villa structures shimmered in the heat several hundred metres to ... in Istanbul 9 the east. It was tantalizing and I always planned to try and see it properly Norah Cooper one day. I had to wait almost 32 years until February 2014 when on one of our many visits to Rome we set out once more down the Via Appia. It’s not for the faint-hearted. To get there one of the best ways is to catch bus no. 118 from the Via delle Terme di Caracalla, just near Circo Massimo metro station on Linea B. The bus shudders and jolts down the ancient Via Appia exiting Rome at the Porta San Sebastiano by the so-called Arch of Drusus.

  • La Via Appia Da Via Di Casal Rotondo a Via Di Fioranello
    The Via Appia, from Via di Casal Rotondo to Via di Fioranello Via Appia Antica This itinerary runs from the 6th to the 7th milestone of the Appian Way and features a long succession of monuments, inscriptions and funerary reliefs highlighting how the Queen of Roads was used as a monumental graveyard for the great and the good of ancient Rome. The section also features a series of monuments with different functions, such as the aqueduct of the Quintilii, the purpose of which was to supply water to the nearby villa owned by the family bearing the same name, or the so-called Temple of Hercules, part of a commercial and accommodation complex for travellers, while Torre Selce dates back to the Middle Ages, when the major aristocratic families of Rome built watchtowers in the countryside to control access to the city.

Generally speaking, these tombs had two floors, a lower floor, entered from the back, housing the burial chamber, with niches in the walls for the cremation urns and sarcophagi, and an upper chamber for holding the funeral rituals, although only a wall and the staircase remain.
