    This project is funded by the European Union November 2020 Culture in ruins The illegal trade in cultural property Case study: Algeria and Tunisia Julia Stanyard and Rim Dhaouadi Summary This case study forms part of a set of publications on the illegal trade in cultural property across North and West Africa, made up of a research paper and three case studies (on Mali, Nigeria and North Africa). This study is focused on Algeria and Tunisia, which share the same forms of material culture but very different antiquity markets. Attention is given to the development of online markets which have been identified as a key threat to this region’s heritage. Key findings • The large-scale extraction of cultural objects in both countries has its roots in the period of French colonial rule. • During the civil war in Algeria in the 1990s, trafficking in cultural heritage was allegedly linked to insurgent anti-government groups among others. • In Tunisia, the presidential family and the political elite reportedly dominated the country’s trade in archaeological objects and controlled the illegal markets. • The modern-day trade in North African cultural property is an interlinked regional criminal economy in which objects are smuggled between Tunisia and Algeria as well as internationally. • State officials and representatives of cultural institutions are implicated in the Algerian and Tunisian antiquities markets in a range of different capacities, both as passive facilitators and active participants. • There is evidence that some architects and real estate entrepreneurs are connected to CASE STUDY CASE trafficking networks. Introduction The region is a palimpsest of ancient material,7 much of which remains unexplored and unexcavated by Cultural heritage in North Africa has come under fire archaeologists.

  • Chapter Four Sources of Augustine's Doctrine
    CHAPTER FOUR SOURCES OF AUGUSTINE'S DOCTRINE OF THE TWO CITIES A. MANICHAEISM 1. 'Manichaeism' as an accusation For Augustine world history was one uninterrupted linear process, directed towards a final destination: the total separation of the two cities. Eternal blessedness awaits the citizens ofthe city of God; eter­ nal damnation those of the city of the devil. In this present age, the period between creation and the end of the world, the Church as the community of the children of God is in peregrination; she is looking forward to her definitive homecoming in the city of God, the heavenly Jerusalem. A number of investigators have referred to Manichaeism as the source of Augustine's clear-cut duality of the two cities and of vari­ ous concepts more or less related to it. This is not surprising. For nine years at least, the future bishop was an adherent of this gnostic religion, in the very period which is often regarded as being of criti­ cal importance for one's later view of life. Much of his first work seems to be imbued with Manichaean modes of thought!. Seeing that Augustine composed, towards the end of his life, a major work in which he placed the theme of the two kingdoms or cities in a cen­ tral position and strongly emphasized the absolute antithesis be­ tween these two societies, and stressed moreover the idea of the citizen of God's city sojourning as an alien here on earth, the ques­ tion of possible reminiscences of Manichaean ideas cannot be side­ stepped.

  • VESPASIAN. AD 68, Though Not a Particularly Constructive Year For
    138 VESPASIAN. AD 68, though not a particularly constructive year for Nero, was to prove fertile ground for senators lion the make". Not that they were to have the time to build anything much other than to carve out a niche for themselves in the annals of history. It was not until the dust finally settled, leaving Vespasian as the last contender standing, that any major building projects were to be initiated under Imperial auspices. However, that does not mean that there is nothing in this period that is of interest to this study. Though Galba, Otho and Vitellius may have had little opportunity to indulge in any significant building activity, and probably given the length and nature of their reigns even less opportunity to consider the possibility of building for their future glory, they did however at the very least use the existing imperial buildings to their own ends, in their own ways continuing what were by now the deeply rooted traditions of the principate. Galba installed himself in what Suetonius terms the palatium (Suet. Galba. 18), which may not necessarily have been the Golden House of Nero, but was part at least of the by now agglomerated sprawl of Imperial residences in Rome that stretched from the summit of the Palatine hill across the valley where now stands the Colosseum to the slopes of the Oppian, and included the Golden House. Vitellius too is said to have used the palatium as his base in Rome (Suet. Vito 16), 139 and is shown by Suetonius to have actively allied himself with Nero's obviously still popular memory (Suet.

  • Villas and Agriculture in Republican Italy
    CHAPTER 20 Villas and Agriculture in Republican Italy Jeffrey A. Becker 1 Introduction The iconicity of the “Roman villa” affords it a rare status in that its appeal easily cuts across the boundaries of multiple disciplines. This is perhaps because the villa has always stimulated our imagination about the ancient world and cultivated a longing for that realm of convivial, pastoral bliss that the villa conjures up for us. Just as Seneca contem- plated Roman virtues in the context of the villa of Scipio Africanus (Sen. Ep. 86), mod- ern (and post-modern) thinkers continue to privilege the villa both as place and space, often using its realm as one in which to generate reconstructions and visions of the ancient past. In the nineteenth century the Roman villa appealed to the Romantics and the exploration of Vesuvian sites, in particular, fueled a growing scholarly interest in the architecture and aesthetics of the Roman villa (most recently, Mattusch, 2008). Often guided by ancient texts, villas were divided into typological groups, as were the interior appointments from wall paintings to floor mosaics. Villas seemed to be a homogeneous type, representative of a “Roman” cultural norm. The fascination with villa life began in antiquity, not only with the likes of Seneca but also poets and scholars such as Virgil and Varro. In spite of the iconic status of the villa from antiquity to modernity, a good deal of uncertainty remains with respect to the archaeology of Roman villas of the latter half of the first millennium. The scholarly approach to the Roman villa finds itself at something of a crossroads, particularly with respect to the villas of the Republican period in Italy.

  • 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.
