Gladiator Map Design Project The goal of this project was to be able to engage in the process of planning and designing a map of an area of my choosing. Then I was to create it using the tools provided. Overall, I believe that my piece turned out to be quite a success. The simple shapes allow you to easily understand which building or structure is which allowing for an easy tour around this section of the South Eastern section of Pompeii. Artist Bio: Born and raised in Pennsylvania, Matthew Hunter Dyson is a boy. He mostly resembles a tomato due to his highly discolored red face. Though he creates art sometimes his main choice of entertainment is mindlessly surfing through YouTube videos until he is thoroughly satisfied with the amount of ASMR and hydraulic press videos..

The predominance of this subject is not entirely of Syria; however, it was captured by the Arabs in 637 CE, surprising since it is one of the most popular subjects in bringing an end to almost a thousand years of occupation.2 Roman visual culture.

The city was part of the Roman Empire to the fact that Antioch was a “town so proud of its wealth for over five hundred years, but the inhabitants of Antioch of waters, springs, and baths.”1 The youth’s association with did not immediately consider themselves Roman, identifying water may account for his repeated appearance, but the instead with their Hellenistic heritage.

  • Quantifying the Popularity of Amphitheatre Spectacles In
    QUANTIFYING THE POPULARITY OF AMPHITHEATRE SPECTACLES IN THE ROMAN WEST: DO AMPHITHEATRE SEATING CAPACITIES INDICATE POPULARITY LEVELS? BY JONATHAN LUKE HACKETT A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MASTERS OF RESEARCH in ANCIENT HISTORY Department of Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2019 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis aims to determine whether it is possible to quantify the popularity of amphitheatre spectacles in the Roman West. Traditionally, amphitheatre spectacles have been regarded as having experienced widespread popularity, and there has been little in the way of a proper assessment of contemporary levels of popularity in modern scholarship. This work will attempt to tackle this issue, and the popularity of amphitheatre spectacles will be primarily explored through the comparison of amphitheatre seating capacity estimates with their corresponding urban population estimates. Through a number of case studies, this thesis will argue that, instead of the traditionally accepted widespread popularity of amphitheatre spectacles, contemporary levels of popularity were complex, and could differ greatly, depending on time period and region of the Roman West.

  • The Colosseum As an Enduring Icon of Rome: a Comparison of the Reception of the Colosseum and the Circus Maximus
    The Colosseum as an Enduring Icon of Rome: A Comparison of the Reception of the Colosseum and the Circus Maximus. “While stands the Coliseum, Rome shall stand; When falls the Coliseum, Rome shall fall; And when Rome falls - the World.”1 The preceding quote by Lord Byron is just one example of how the Colosseum and its spectacles have captivated people for centuries. However, before the Colosseum was constructed, the Circus Maximus served as Rome’s premier entertainment venue. The Circus was home to gladiator matches, animal hunts, and more in addition to the chariot races. When the Colosseum was completed in 80 CE, it became the new center of ancient Roman amusement. In the modern day, thousands of tourists each year visit the ruins of the Colosseum, while the Circus Maximus serves as an open field for joggers, bikers, and other recreational purposes, and is not necessarily an essential stop for tourists. The ancient Circus does not draw nearly the same crowds that the Colosseum does. Through an analysis of the sources, there are several explanations as to why the Colosseum remains a popular icon of Rome while the Circus Maximus has been neglected by many people, despite it being older than and just as popular as the Colosseum in ancient times. Historiography Early scholarship on the Colosseum and other amphitheaters focused on them as sites of death and immorality. Katherine Welch sites L. Friedländer as one who adopted such a view, 1 George Gordon Byron, “Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, canto IV, st. 145,” in The Selected Poetry of Lord Byron, edited by Leslie A.

A Roman Amphitheatre The Colosseum is a Roman amphitheatre. Its name in Latin was Amphitheatrum Flavium Romae. Latin was the language of the Roman Empire and many European languages spoken today, such as Spanish, French, Portuguese or Italian come from Latin. Attending the Colosseum was part of Ancient Roman life. Can you imagine why? A Place for Entertainment Ancient Romans liked to have fun, but they had a very different concept of fun to the way we amuse ourselves nowadays. For example, they enjoyed watching people fight against lions! They were also amused by watching gladiators fight to death. The Colosseum is the largest amphitheatre ever built. It had seating for 55,000 people! That’s as big as the Anfield Football Stadium in Liverpool. The best place, the Podium, or Tribune, was reserved for the Emperor and his family, as well as for the senators. The Emperor and the Senate The Emperor controlled the Roman Empire and had a very luxurious life with the best of everything.

The lower frieze shows the galloping chariots of the funeral games of Patroclus at Troy with the prizes depicted among them. By Cleitias / Kleitias, ca. 570 B.C. Florence, Museo Archeologico, 4209. “The first prize he offered was for the chariot races- a woman skilled in all useful arts, and a three-legged cauldron that had ears for handles, and would hold twenty-two measures. This was for the man who came in first. For the second there was a six- year old mare, unbroken, and in foal to a he-ass; the third was to have a goodly cauldron that had never yet been on the fire; it was still bright as when it left the maker, and would hold four measures. The fourth prize was two talents of gold, and the fifth a two-handled urn as yet unsoiled by smoke.” The Iliad, Book 23. Why? 1. Fond memories of Gladiator? a.

  • Tunisia the Jewel of North Africa 28Th February to 11Th March 2022 (12 Days)
    Tunisia The Jewel of North Africa 28th February to 11th March 2022 (12 days) El Jem Coliseum by Adam Riley Tunisia, the gem of North Africa, is an isle of tranquillity wedged between the turbulent countries of Algeria and Libya. Due to its strategic position, it has had its fair share of turmoil in times gone by. The Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, Ottomans and French have all had their impact and contributed to a rich and varied culture. Tunisia is now one of Africa’s most wealthy and developed countries and the epitome of a progressive Arab nation. Upon arrival at Tunis, one is immediately struck by the verdance of the landscape, which teems with birds. Tunisia’s protected areas and agricultural fields support a large population of both resident species and wintering migrants. RBL Tunisia Itinerary 2 On this tour we will visit several spectacular sites, ranging from towering mountains, desert oases and vast tidal saltpans. Some of the highlight species are the endangered White-headed and Marbled Duck, Yelkouan Shearwater, Bonelli’s Eagle, Cream-colored Courser, Greater Hoopoe-Lark and Desert Sparrow. We will also get the opportunity to observe some really endangered North African mammals, including the spectacular Addax, Scimitar-horned Oryx, Dama and Dorcas Gazelle and the hamster-like Gundi. We cannot ignore the archaeological treasures of Tunisia, and we will also visit several world- famous sites, from the Punic City of Carthage, the Roman Empire’s 3rd largest Coliseum and Muslim medinas (walled cities). With comfortable accommodations, great food, friendly people, impressive antiquities and abundant birds, time spent in Tunisia could not be more pleasurable! For the intrepid birder or adventurer, we have added a very short extension into Algeria to find the endemic Algerian Nuthatch.

  • Gladiators in Rome and the Western Provinces of the Roman Empire
    Gladiators in Rome and the western provinces of the Roman Empire Advanced Seminar 600. Spring semester 2008. In Rome women dipped a spear into the blood of a killed gladiator and used it to part their hair in preparation for the marriage ceremony. The ritual was supposed to bestow magic and charismatic powers. At least one senatorial woman left her husband and children, and her very elegant life-style, in order to elope to Egypt with her gladiator- lover. According to the writer who reports on this famous scandal, the gladiator had a series of unsightly lesions on his face and in the middle of his nose a massive wart. It was not beauty that women fell in love with but the cold steel. In legal terms, however, gladiators in Roman society were regarded as the lowest of the lowest. They were usually slaves, and when they were not slaves when they became gladiators they had to swear an oath that technically made them the equivalent of slaves. Gladiators were excluded from the most prestigious positions in society. This paradox will be the key theme of this seminar, but we will also look into a number of other topics, such as recruitment, training, different types of gladiators, fan clubs, family life, emperors as gladiators. Lecture room: Greek and Latin Reading Room (Memorial Library, 4th floor). In order to access the room you need a key. You need to pay a deposit of $10.00 on the third floor of Memorial Library.

  • The Urbanization of Roman Municipia: Urban Development and Romanization in Umbrian Cities During the First Century BCE
    The Urbanization of Roman Municipia: Urban Development and Romanization in Umbrian Cities During the First Century BCE Sarah M. Lippai A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts University of Washington 2017 Committee: Sarah Levin-Richardson Stuart Lingo Kathryn Topper Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Art History © Copyright 2017 Sarah M. Lippai University of Washington Abstract The Urbanization of Roman Municipia: Urban Development and Romanization in Umbrian Cities During the First Century BCE Sarah M. Lippai Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Assistant Professor Sarah Levin-Richardson Classics This thesis examines the urban development of the Roman urbs during the first century BCE. The cities of southern Umbria provide a case study of a wider phenomenon occurring throughout Italy following the municipalization of the peninsula after the Social War. Using archaeology and contemporary cultural analysis, I examine the development of their fora, theaters, and amphitheaters through the century. These public spaces and buildings demonstrate the concept of recirculation that occurs when architectural design ideas flow between Italian cities and Rome, informing one another until refined into a standard form. The canonical form of these Roman buildings, while set in Rome, are indebted to the contributions made in these cities. The development of the Roman urbs and these urban features into a standardized form demonstrate a confluence of culture, innovation, and mimicry under Roman power and are a visual demonstration of the unification of Italy under Rome. Acknowledgements I would like to thank my committee, Stuart Lingo and Kathryn Topper, for their insight and encouragement and especially to my committee chair, Sarah Levin-Richardson, for her enthusiasm as I neared completion.
