With the fall of the Roman Empire in the 5th century, the Colosseum was abandoned and gradually became overgrown. In the Middle Ages it served as a fortress for two of the city’s warrior families, the Frangipani and the Annibaldi. Later, during the Renaissance and baroque periods it was plundered of its precious travertine, and marble stripped from it was used to make huge palaces such as Palazzo Venezia, Palazzo Barberini and Palazzo Cancelleria. More recently, pollution and vibrations caused by traffic and the metro have taken their toll.

  • Does AACHEN Provide the Missing Urban Splendor for the Early Middle
    69 Does AACHEN provide the missing urban splendor for the Early Middle Ages? For 300 years, Ravenna basically only shows San Salvatore ad Calchi – with a layout that fits the architectural styles of the 2nd/3rd or the 5th/ 6th century – in an otherwise ghostly wasteland. Ravenna's vivarium, although also dated in the 8th/9th century, does not help either, because structurally it resembles nymphaea of the 2nd/3rd century (Cerelli 2019, 294). But alas, Aachen also disappoints. For the 300 years of the Early Middle Ages, there are only Carolingian administrative buildings and one church. Early medieval wasteland of downtown AACHEN (8th-10th century AD), lacking residential quarters, latrines, streets, and baths etc., from which the monuments of Charlemagne stand out in splendid isolation. The small structures in the model represent primitive huts sunk into the dark earth (“dunkler Moder”) separating the High Middle Ages (10th/11th c. AD) from Roman civilization. [Photo G. Heinsohn from a video in Aachen's Centre Charlemagne with permission of the staff (2015). The video's co- author, Sebastian Ristow, points out that he plans to develop the model further; see also https://www.medieval.eu/charlemagne-aachen-2014/.] 70 Contemporary roads and latrines, housing for citizens and servants, lodgings for the warrior guards, stables, monasteries, water pipes, baths, parks for the peacocks, etc. have never been found. The famous monuments of Aachen protrude out of a death zone like broken teeth, reminding posterity of the magnificence of the once classically beautiful dentition: “Surprisingly, no excavation or construction site observation inside or outside the old town of Aachen has so far recorded clear settlement remains of Carolingian times, although tradition suggests the presence of merchants and numerous inhabitants as well as the existence of quite sophisticated aristocratic courts, some of whose buildings and material culture should be found in the ground.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles the Orphan-Hero in Italian Renaissance Epic a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Satisfactio
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Orphan-Hero in Italian Renaissance Epic A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Italian by Sarah Sixmith Vogdes Cantor 2020 © Copyright by Sarah Sixmith Vogdes Cantor 2020 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Orphan-Hero in Italian Renaissance Epic by Sarah Sixmith Vogdes Cantor Doctor of Philosophy in Italian University of California, Los Angeles, 2020 Professor Andrea Moudarres, Chair “The Orphan-Hero in Italian Renaissance Epic” investigates a commonplace present in epic poetry from antiquity to the Renaissance: the orphan-hero, a protagonist who grows up without the guidance of biological parents. The study traces this figure from its origins to the early modern period, beginning with classical epic in the introduction and focusing on 16th- and early 17th- century Italian poems in the body of the dissertation, namely Ludovico Ariosto’s Orlando furioso (1532), Torquato Tasso’s Gerusalemme liberata (1581), Tullia d’Aragona’s Il Meschino (1560), Moderata Fonte’s Floridoro (1581), Margherita Sarrocchi’s Scanderbeide (1623), and LucreZia Marinella’s L’Enrico (1635). Through analysis of these works, I address the following critical questions: 1) What links orphanhood and heroism? 2) Why might poets deem this tradition worthy of continuation? 3) Do modifications to the orphan-hero by different Renaissance authors reveal or emphasiZe shifts in thinking during the period? In particular, to what extent do the female authors fashion their orphan-heroes to fit an early modern feminist purpose? ii I propose that the vulnerability inherent in the parentless state is significant to the subsequent development of heroic qualities in Renaissance epic heroes.

  • Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy 2015-2016
    EEXXTTRRAAOORRDDIINNAARRYY JJUUBBIILLEEEE ooff MMEERRCCYY The Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy 2015-2016 Pope Francis, who is moved by the human, social and cultural issues of our times, wished to give the City of Rome and the Universal Church a special and extraordinary Holy Year of Grace, Mercy and Peace. The “Misericordiae VulTus” Bull of indicTion The Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii Gaudium, which continues to be the programmatic outline for the pontificate of Pope Francis, offers a meaningful expression of the very essence of the Extraordinary Jubilee which was announced on 11 April 2015: “The Church has an endless desire to show mercy, the fruit of its own experience of the power of the Father’s infinite mercy” (EG 24). It is with this desire in mind that we should re-read the Bull of Indiction of the Jubilee, Misericordiae Vultus, in which Pope Fran- cis details the aims of the Holy Year. As we know, the two dates already marked out are 8 December 2015, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, the day of the opening of the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica, and 20 November 2016, the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, which will conclude the Holy Year. Between these two dates a calendar of celebrations will see many different events take place. The Pope wants this Jubilee to be experienced in Rome as well as in local Churches; this brings partic- ular attention to the life of the individual Churches and their needs, so that initiatives are not just additions to the calendar but rather complementary.

I have also heard it declared to be a place dangerous to physical health. It is with gratifi- cation, therefore, after living therein, both beneath it and above, as few can have done, for considerable portions of the last six years, that I can bring solid evidence to belie both accusations.

  • Foro Romano E Palatino
    Foro Romano e Palatino Visite guidate Bookshop La valle del Foro tra i sette colli di Roma era anticamente una palude. Dalla fine del VII secolo a.C. dopo la bonifica della palude nella valle fu realizzato il Foro Romano che fu il centro della vita pubblica romana per oltre un millennio. Nel corso dei secoli furono costruiti i vari monumenti: dapprima gli edifici per le attività politiche, religiose e commerciali, poi durante il II sec. a.C. le basiliche civili, dove si svolgevano le attività giudiziarie. Alla fine dell’età repubblicana, l’antico Foro Romano era ormai insufficiente e inadeguato a svolgere la funzione di centro amministrativo e di rappresentanza della città. Le varie dinastie di imperatori aggiunsero solo monumenti di prestigio: il Tempio di Vespasiano e Tito e quello di Antonino Pio e Faustina dedicati alla memoria degli imperatori divinizzati, il monumentale Panorama del Foro Romano Arco di Settimio Severo, costruito all’estremità occidentale della piazza nel 203 d.C. per celebrare le vittorie dell’imperatore sui Parti. L’ultimo grande intervento fu realizzato dall’imperatore Massenzio ai primi anni del IV secolo d.C. Massenzio fece costruire il Tempio dedicato alla memoria del figlio Romolo e l’imponente Basilica sulla Velia che fu ristrutturata alla fine del IV secolo d.C. L’ultimo monumento realizzato nel Foro fu la Colonna eretta nel 608 d.C. in onore dell’imperatore bizantino Foca.

  • An Introduction to Roman Epigraphy an Inscription in the Lapis Niger
    To read or not to read: an introduction to Roman epigraphy An inscription in the Lapis Niger (‘Black Stone’) The Lapis Niger, an area of ill-omen and an early cult site in the Forum Romanum, was paved in black stone by Sulla around 80 BC. It provides the earliest evidence of Rome’s comitium (an assembly meeting-point) and contains one of the oldest surviving inscriptions in ancient Rome. The archaic inscription found within this area, often called a cippus (CIL 1.2.1), is an excellent case study, both for archaic Rome and for the use of inscriptions as evidence. This unassuming slab of grey tufa has the distinction of being one of the most confounding objects from antiquity. Even the name, Lapis Niger, often used by scholars for the inscription, is a term coined by the ancient sources for the area around Sulla’s pavement (not the inscription itself). To assess some of the mysteries behind this inscription one must examine it both as a text and as a monument. This involves looking not only at the writing but how it was displayed and in what context it was placed. In this respect the inscription falls within a number of fields, and requires literary, archaeological, geographic and sometimes geological analysis. This study will consider a number of different approaches to show to illustrate both the insights and the limitations of this source. The role of context: what can urban and archaeological contexts tell us about an inscription? The location of this inscription and the fact that it remains in situ provides a wealth of information (especially in Rome, a city that is notorious for ‘eating itself’: materials are often moved and reused).

First and foremost, I thank Professor Susan Rotroff for her guidance and support throughout this process; her insightful comments and suggestions, brilliant ideas and unfailing patience have been invaluable.

Research in Monumental Constructions in Antiquity Ancient civilizations have passed down to us a vast range of monumental structures. Mon- umentality is a complex phenomenon that we address here as ‘XXL’.It encompasses a large range of different aspects, such as sophisticated technical and logistical skills and the vast economic resources required. This contribution takes a closer look at the special interdependence of space and knowledge represented by such XXL projects. We develop a set of objective criteria for determining whether an object qualifies as ‘XXL’,in order to permit a broadly framed study comparing manifestations of the XXL phenomenon in different cultures and describing the functional and conceptional role of the phenomenon in antiquity.Finally,we illustrate how these criteria are being applied in the study of large construction projects in ancient civilisations through six case studies.
