The city was the favorite and final destination of the grand tour, the long trip around continental Europe that rich european aristocracy (later also american) and artists would take, starting from the XVII century until the XIX century, with the purpose of improving their knowledge. The length of the trip was not well-defined, and usually the final destination was Italy, and particularly Rome. Travelers were yearning for Rome because of its classical beauty but also for its medieval, renaissance and baroque monuments. W.

Water Culture in Roman Society
Ancient History 1.1 (2018) 1–118 brill.com/brp Water Culture in Roman Society Dylan Kelby Rogers American School of Classical Studies at Athens, Greece [email protected] Abstract Water played an important part of ancient Roman life, from providing necessary drinking water, supplying bath complexes, to flowing in large-scale public fountains. The Roman culture of water was seen throughout the Roman Empire, although it was certainly not monolithic and it could come in a variety of scales and forms, based on climatic and social conditions of different areas. This discussion seeks to define ‘water culture’ in Roman society by examining literary, epigraphic, and archaeological evidence, while understanding modern trends in scholarship related to the study of Roman water. The culture of water can be demonstrated through expressions of power, aesthetics, and spectacle. Further there was a shared experience of water in the empire that could be expressed through religion, landscape, and water’s role in cultures of consumption and pleasure. Keywords water culture – Roman archaeology – aqueducts – baths – sanitation – fountains – spectacle – religion – identity – pleasure – landscape 1 Introduction Water is transmutable and transformative. Human fascination with water often derives from the fact that water, governed by the laws of physics and other natural forces, changes form and state,1 as well as transforms other entities by 1 Strang 2005, 98; Oestigaard 2011, 38. © Dylan Kelby Rogers, 2018 | doi 10.1163/25425374-12340001 Downloaded from Brill.com10/01/2021 08:32:47AM via free access 2 Rogers providing life and inflicting death, as a natural force in its own right.2 Water is also part of an inherently shared, cross-cultural experience, as all humans must use it. -

Rome, Colosseum Square and NE Slopes of the Palatine Hill: Toward an Integrated 3D System for Stratigraphic Data Management and Ancient Urban Landscape Reconstruction
CLEMENTINA PANELLA, EMANUELE BRIENZA, LORENZO FORNACIARI Rome, Colosseum square and NE slopes of the Palatine hill: toward an integrated 3D system for stratigraphic data management and ancient urban landscape reconstruction The investigations carried out in the valley of the Colosseum and on the NE slopes of the Palatine have disclosed a complex sequence of urban and monumental inter- ventions whose documentation has inevitably produced a vast amount of data that is difficult to manage without the aid of an information system. With the recent deve- lopment of new applications, it is possible to create a system for the integration and visualisation of archaeological data, both in two and three-dimensional format, and to experiment with new criteria and methods for the combined and effective use of documents of a different nature. We want to thank the staff of the Parco Archeologico del Colosseo (MIBACT) for the permission and support to our work, in particular Dr.sa Giulia Giovanetti. Introduction The urban landscape lying between the Colosseum valley, the northeast slopes of the Palatine hill and the Temple of Venus and Rome is the result of multiple urban changes occurring here during past centuries. The current appearance, if we consider the floor in use today and the monuments present, reflects the aspect reached during the 4th century C.E. (Fig. 1). It must be said, of course, that what we see today is the result of spoliations and diggings made in this area of the city since the end of antiquity. If it is true that the Colosseum and the Temple of Venus and Rome survived (more or less) these destructions and abuses, it is also clear that today they live in a me- taphysical space because the urban connective system they belonged to does not exist anymore.
