However, we went well beyond confirming our hypotheses, and this penultimate season has come close to completing our investigation of the three principle structures discovered so far: the winery, the slave barracks, and the church of S. Pietro in Villamagna. The Winery (fig.1) The 2009 Archaeological Campaign in the area of the winery has provided important information and new data in regards to both the Roman building and the post-Roman phases of the site, substantially confirming our interpretation in the previous reports. Under the ge- neral supervision of Andrea di Miceli and supervision of the trenches by Seth Bernard, Dirk Booms, Janine Young, Raffaele Laino, Ismini Milariesis, Candace Rice, and Darian Totten, no less than 6 trenches of varying size and depth were opened. Where appropriate, a bobcat helped remove the modern overburden. Fig. 1.

Williams II, Cataldo Cataldi, and Gioachino Giammaria for their constant support, to Rodolfo Cesaritti for his hospitality, to Dr. Lorenzo Spaziani and the Laboratory Euritmia for their help with the osteological material and to the vol- unteers from the liceo Dante Alighieri for their cheerful labour.

Just over a century later, this same law is used by Tiberius to criminalize behavior and speech that he found disrespectful. This thesis offers an answer to the question as to how the maiestas law evolved during the late republic and early empire to present the threat that it did to Tiberius’ political enemies. First, the application of Roman precedent in regards to judicial decisions will be examined, as it plays a guiding role in the transformation of the law. Next, I will discuss how the law was invented in the late republic, and increasingly used for autocratic purposes. The bulk of the thesis will focus on maiestas proceedings in Tacitus’ Annales, in which a total of ten men lose their lives.

Bernard C. Brian Rose, Supervisor of Dissertation This dissertation investigates how Rome organized and paid for the considerable amount of labor that went into the physical transformation of the Middle Republican city. In particular, it considers the role played by the cost of public construction in the socioeconomic history of the period, here defined as 390 to 168 B.C. During the Middle Republic period, Rome expanded its dominion first over Italy and then over the Mediterranean. As it developed into the political and economic capital of its world, the city itself went through transformative change, recognizable in a great deal of new public infrastructure.

  • Introduction

    Introduction

    Introduction his is a study of how dynastic monarchy changed politics across the Roman TEmpire. It is built around the Tabula Siarensis (T.Siar., A .D . 19), the Tabula Hebana (T.Heb., A .D. 20), the senatus consultum de Cn. Pisone patre (s.c. de Pisone, A .D . 20), and the funeral honors for the younger Drusus (RS 38, A .D . 23).1 This dossier of documents from the Tiberian Senate offers a snapshot of early imperial politics: it shows a ruling family intending to project itself into the future through dynastic succession and reveals a new political culture taking shape among the still-surviving organs of the Republic. The dossier affirms that what Augustus had established was the rule not of one man but of a dynastic house—a house that had a collective identity, in which women had public roles, and a house that promoted a series of young men as potential imperial successors. These princes were systematically pro- moted from at least 29 B .C., when Imp. Caesar celebrated his triple triumph flanked by his nephew, Marcellus, and his stepson, Tiberius, until A .D. 23, when the younger Drusus died; thereafter, the succession faltered, and in A .D . 41, the Praetorian Guard installed Claudius. During this period, the princes served as practical commanders in the field and as ideological models for youth. Most explicitly in retrospective funeral honors, they were universally recognized as dynastic successors. The dossier also reflects how, over the years between Imp. Caesar’s tri- umph and Claudius’s installation, political culture—the institutions and the 1.
  • Catacombs of Rome

    Catacombs of Rome

    Catacombs of Rome The Catacombs of Rome (Italian: Catacombe di Roma) are ancient catacombs, underground burial places under Rome, Italy, of which there are at least forty, some discovered only in recent decades. Though most famous for Christian burials, either in separate catacombs or mixed together, people of all the Roman religions are buried in them, beginning in the 2nd century AD,[1] mainly as a response to overcrowding and shortage of land. The Etruscans, like many other European peoples, used to bury their dead in underground chambers. The original Roman custom was cremation, after which the burnt remains were kept in a pot, ash-chest or urn, often in a columbarium. From about the 2nd century AD, inhumation (burial of unburnt remains) became more fashionable, in graves or sarcophagi, often elaborately carved, for those who could afford them. Christians also preferred burial to cremation because of their belief in bodily resurrection at the Second Coming. The Park of the Caffarella and Colli Albani (Rome Metro) are nearby. The Christian catacombs are extremely important for the art history of Early Christian art, as they contain the great majority of examples from before about 400 AD, in fresco and sculpture, as well as gold glass medallions (these, like most bodies, have been removed). The Jewish catacombs are similarly important for the study of Jewish culture at this period. A number of dubious relics of A Procession in the Catacomb of catacomb saints were promoted after the rediscovery of the catacombs. Callixtus, 1905 by Alberto

    Nicolas DELOBEL (Paris 1693 - Paris 1763) A View of the Tiber Island and the Pons Cestius, with the Church of San Bartolomeo all’Isola, Rome Pen and brown ink and brown and grey wash, over an underdrawing in black chalk, extensively heightened with white, on blue paper. Inscribed, dated and signed faite le 30 Septembre1729(5or 7?) / vue de la pointe del[‘ile?]d’/ que[?] pont[?] delobel(?) at the lower left. 241 x 391 mm. (9 1/2 x 15v 3/8 in.) ACQUIRED BY THE FONDATION CUSTODIA, PARIS. Indistinctly signed by the artist and dated 1729 (although the date can also be read as 1725 or 1727), the present sheet is among the earliest views of Rome by a pensionnaireat the Académie de France. The drawing depicts the small boat-shaped island in middle of the Tiber river, dominated by the 17th century church of San Bartolomeo all’Isola, seen from downstream. In the centre is the 12th century bell tower of the church and, just to the right, the fortified Torre Caetani, dating from the 10th century. At the left of the composition is the Pons Cestius, the ancient stone bridge linking the Tiber Island to Trastevere in the western part of the city; the bridge was reconstructed and widened in the late 19th century. The large tower in the foreground at the upper right of the composition, which no longer exists today, sat above an old water mill on the right bank of the Tiber. Delobel also made a drawing of the opposite view, looking downstream from the southern end of the Tiber Island towards the Temple of Hercules Victor and the campanile of the church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin.
