Overview of module: This module is designed to develop in students the skills of careful looking, and detailed visual analysis, grounded in a strong awareness of the major theoretical issues, which are central to research in Roman art history. It will take the form of a series of seminars addressing key themes in the historiography of Roman art through detailed consideration of specific works of art in the British Museum and other London museums, where most classes will be held. Alongside traditional concerns with issues of style and iconography, a particular emphasis will be laid on questions of ‘facture’, ‘materiality’ and ‘agency’ which have been at the centre of recent discussions in archaeology, the anthropology of art and art history. Particular themes and classes may vary from year to year to reflect students’ own research interests, new publications and special exhibitions. Module schedule: Classes will be held in the British Museum, 2-4pm every Tuesday. We will meet in the Great Court at the Entrance to the Egyptian Galleries. 8/1/19: 1.

Module Handbook 2018/19 2 Essay submission deadlines: The draft for your essay must be submitted to me (as word document, via email attachment) by 10pm on Friday 22nd March. I plan to return the draft to you, with comments over the weekend. I will be available in my office on Wednesday 28th 2-4 pm to discuss any questions you may have; alternatively if you are away from UCL and wish to talk we can communicate by skype. Your revised essay for assessment (and turnitin) must be submitted by 10pm Friday 26th April (first week term 3). Methods of assessment: The module will be assessed by one 3800-4200 word essay. For Students taking this module as a 20 credit module (e.g. KCL, Classical Archaeology MA): In addition to the standard essay, students taking the module as a 20 credit element will be required to write an additonal 1000 word report. This may take either the form of a review of a book from amongst the readings for the course, or a critical comparison of two articles in the module bibliography approaching the same issue or materials from different points of view. The books and articles chosen must come from a different topic than the one chosen for your standard essay. Your choice of book / articles should be discussed with the module tutor. This essay should be handed in by the same date as the revised version of your essay as submitted for assessment. This report will be assessed on a pass/fail basis. Students are required to pass the report element in order to complete the course. Teaching methods: All classes will be taught as seminars in the British Museum (and the V&A). Students will be required to give two presentations in order to complete the course. Students must complete the required readings for each class before the class, and will be expected on this basis to be able to participate actively in class discussion. Workload: There will be 20 hours of seminars for this course. Students will be expected to undertake 100 hours of reading for the course, and 30 hours preparing for and producing the assessed module work. This adds up to a total workload of 150 hours for the course. Prerequisites: Students should normally have a good background in classical (Greco-Roman) art. Other students may take the course, subject to consultation with the module coordinator, but would normally be advised to sit in on the undergraduate option ARCL0018 Roman Art and Architecture (Tuesday 9-11). 2. AIMS, OBJECTIVES AND ASSESSMENT Aims To provide a proseminar for the study of Roman art at an advanced level, preparing students to develop dissertation research at MA level and beyond. To provide an advanced level exploration of classic and contemporary theoretical frameworks and methodologies for the understanding of Roman art. To provide a basis in skills of problem definition and visual analysis prerequisite to developing innovative research in Roman art. To offer the possibility studying at first hand some of the major monuments of Roman art through the collections of the British Museum and the V&A. ARCL0164 MM.Ro. Module Handbook 2018/19 3 To address a range of key problems in the history of Roman art through close engagement with collections of museums in London. Objectives Students will develop and advanced critical understanding of a range of key issues in the history and historiography of Roman Art. They will develop an active mastery of key theoretical frameworks and methods of analysis in contemporary approaches to the history of Roman art. They will develop key skills of close looking and detailed visual analysis through first hand engagement with objects from the collections of London museums. They will acquire the ability to identify significant research problems in the history of Roman art, as a preparation for developing their own independent research projects. Outcomes Students will: 1) Be able to demonstrate a good understanding of the key principles which inform the systematic and critical visual analysis of works of art 2) Be able to demonstrate a good understanding of key classical and contemporary theoretical and methodological frameworks for the understanding of Roman art 3) Be able critically to evaluate existing research in Roman art, and identify ways in which a range of research programmes might be taken forward 4) Be familiar with the range of visual, textual and archaeological sources relevant to the understanding of Roman art 5) Be able to understand and appreciate the range of problems involved in the interpretation of complex, ambiguous and often incomplete data. Assessment Students are required to write one essay of 3800-4200 words. Penalties will only be imposed if you exceed the upper figure in the range. There is no penalty for using fewer words than the lower figure in the range: the lower figure is simply for your guidance and to indicate the sort of length that is expected. Bibliography and captions do not count towards the total word count. Essay questions are listed at the end of each weekly seminar topic. Students are required to submit a draft of their essay, on which they will receive detailed written comment, which should inform the final revised essay which they submit for formal assessment. The draft for your essay must be submitted to me (as word document, via email attachment) by 11pm on Friday 22nd March. I plan to return the draft to you, with comments over the weekend. I will be available in my office on Wednesday 27th to discuss any questions you may have; alternatively if you are away from UCL and wish to talk we can communicate by skype. Your revised essay for assessment (and turnitin) must be submitted by 10pm Friday 26th April (first week term 3). In the 2018-19 session penalties for overlength work will be as follows: For work that exceeds the specified maximum length by less than 10% the mark will be reduced by five percentage marks, but the penalised mark will not be reduced below the pass mark, assuming the work merited a Pass. ARCL0164 MM.Ro. Module Handbook 2018/19 4 For work that exceeds the specified maximum length by 10% or more the mark will be reduced by ten percentage marks, but the penalised mark will not be reduced below the pass mark, assuming the work merited a Pass. Coursework submission procedures All coursework must normally be submitted both as hard copy and electronically. (The only exceptions are bulky portfolios and lab books which are normally submitted as hard copy only.) You should staple the appropriate colour-coded IoA coversheet (available in the IoA library and outside room 411a) to the front of each piece of work and submit it to the red box at the Reception Desk (or room 411a in the case of Year 1 undergraduate work) All coursework should be uploaded to Turnitin by midnight on the day of the deadline. This will date-stamp your work. It is essential to upload all parts of your work as this is sometimes the version that will be marked. Instructions are given below. Note that Turnitin uses the term ‘class’ for what we normally call a ‘module’.

  • Reflecting Antiquity Explores the Rediscovery of Roman Glass and Its Influence on Modern Glass Production
    Reflecting Antiquity explores the rediscovery of Roman glass and its influence on modern glass production. It brings together 112 objects from more than 24 lenders, featuring ancient Roman originals as well as the modern replicas they inspired. Following are some of the highlights on view in the exhibition. Portland Vase Base Disk The Portland Vase is the most important and famous work of cameo glass to have survived from ancient Rome. Modern analysis of the vase, with special attention to the elongation of the bubbles preserved in the lower body, suggest that it was originally shaped as an amphora (storage vessel) with a pointed base. At some point in antiquity, the vessel suffered some damage and acquired this replacement disk. The male figure and the foliage on the disk were not carved by the same Unknown artist that created the mythological frieze on the vase.

  • Dynamics of Religious Ritual: Migration and Adaptation in Early Medieval Britain
    Dynamics of Religious Ritual: Migration and Adaptation in Early Medieval Britain A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Brooke Elizabeth Creager IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Peter S. Wells August 2019 Brooke Elizabeth Creager 2019 © For my Mom, I could never have done this without you. And for my Grandfather, thank you for showing me the world and never letting me doubt I can do anything. Thank you. i Abstract: How do migrations impact religious practice? In early Anglo-Saxon England, the practice of post-Roman Christianity adapted after the Anglo-Saxon migration. The contemporary texts all agree that Christianity continued to be practiced into the fifth and sixth centuries but the archaeological record reflects a predominantly Anglo-Saxon culture. My research compiles the evidence for post-Roman Christian practice on the east coast of England from cemeteries and Roman churches to determine the extent of religious change after the migration. Using the case study of post-Roman religion, the themes religion, migration, and the role of the individual are used to determine how a minority religion is practiced during periods of change within a new culturally dominant society. ii Table of Contents Abstract …………………………………………………………………………………...ii List of Figures ……………………………………………………………………………iv Preface …………………………………………………………………………………….1 I.

Description and Summary of Object or Group of Objects: Loan Number: L2011.52 Artist/Maker: Unknown (Northern Germany, c. 1660-1680) Title/Object: Nautilus Cup Date: circa 1660-1680 Medium: nautilus shell; silver, parcel-gilt Dimensions: 15 x 7 ¼ x 4 ¼ in. (38 x 18.5 x 11 cm) Signed, marked or inscribed: Unmarked. Country of manufacture: Germany Vendor/Donor: Galerie J. Kugel, Paris Credit Line: Gift of funds from Mary Agnes and Al McQuinn Present Location: With the dealer in Maastricht, The Netherlands 2. Artist, Style, and explanation of the proposed object: From the end of the 16th century, Nautilus shells from the Indo-Pacific Ocean were imported into Europe on a regular basis, where they were admired for their exotic origins and geometric perfection. The fact that their interior chambers follow a logarithmic spiral was interpreted in early modern thought as evidence for the theory that nature from its greatest manifestations (macrocosm) to its smallest details (microcosm) follows a thorough plan. They were seen as proof of the convergence of the bodily and spiritual worlds (here: invertebrate zoology and mathmatics), and often ultimately of the existence of God. Whereas a few nautilus shells were made into liturgical objects (incense burners), the vast majority were mounted as secular drinking vessels by, generally, outfitting them with mounts of silver, gilt silver and gold figures alluding to the Sea or the element of water (as the nautilus’s original habitat). Silver-mounted nautilus shells were among the most characteristic products of the famous gold- and silversmithing workshops of Augsburg and Nuremberg in Southern Germany and were sought after by collector all over Europe.

  • Roman Lead Sealings
    Roman Lead Sealings VOLUME I MICHAEL CHARLES WILLIAM STILL SUBMITTED FOR TIlE DEGREE OF PILD. SEPTEMBER 1995 UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON INSTITUTE OF ARCHAEOLOGY (L n") '3 1. ABSTRACT This thesis is based on a catalogue of c. 1800 records, covering over 2000 examples of Roman lead sealings, many previously unpublished. The catalogue is provided with indices of inscriptions and of anepigraphic designs, and subsidiary indices of places, military units, private individuals and emperors mentioned on the scalings. The main part of the thesis commences with a history of the use of lead sealings outside of the Roman period, which is followed by a new typology (the first since c.1900) which puts special emphasis on the use of form as a guide to dating. The next group of chapters examine the evidence for use of the different categories of scalings, i.e. Imperial, Official, Taxation, Provincial, Civic, Military and Miscellaneous. This includes evidence from impressions, form, texture of reverse, association with findspot and any literary references which may help. The next chapter compares distances travelled by similar scalings and looks at the widespread distribution of identical scalings of which the origin is unknown. The first statistical chapter covers imperial sealings. These can be assigned to certain periods and can thus be subjected to the type of analysis usually reserved for coins. The second statistical chapter looks at the division of categories of scalings within each province. The scalings in each category within each province are calculated as percentages of the provincial total and are then compared with an adjusted percentage for that category in the whole of the empire.

His name is related to the Latin word merx ("merchandise"; compare merchant, commerce, etc.), mercari (to trade), and merces (wages).[2] In his earliest forms, he appears to have been related to the Etruscan deity Turms, but most of his characteristics and mythology were borrowed from the analogous Greek deity, Hermes. Latin writers rewrote Hermes' myths and substituted his name with that of Mercury. However, there are at least two myths that involve Mercury that are Roman in origin. In Virgil's Aeneid, Mercury reminds Aeneas of his mission to found the city of Rome. In Ovid's Fasti, Mercury is assigned to escort the nymph Larunda to the underworld.
