  • Study Tour Evaluation Report + Questionnaire
    Study Tour Evaluation Report On the last day of the Albanian delegation’s study tour to Rome and Pompeii, which took place from 4-10 April 2011, participants were asked to fill out a questionnaire (Appendix A) and thus to provide feedback on their tour experience. This brief report summarizes the ten participants’ comments, highlighting which aspects were considered positive and negative, which lessons and ideas participants took home to Albania, and how future study tours could be improved. The overall feedback for this study tour is clearly positive. Participants evidently enjoyed their visits to the selected archaeological sites – Via Appia, Ostia Antica, Forum Romanum and the Palatine Hill, Vulci National Park, and Pompeii – and identified various parallels between the administrative challenges faced by Italian and Albanian park managers. The questionnaires show that participants were particularly keen to learn about examples of public-private collaboration and the sharing of responsibilities for an archaeological area between the State, regions, and private stakeholders. The second most-mentioned topic concerns the self-financing and self- administration of archaeological parks, which was evidently regarded as highly important by the Albanian delegates. Participants noted that they appreciated learning about the financial and legal administration of parks as well as to be told about concrete means of income-generation. They also took interest in the technological systems used by Italian park managers regarding, on the one hand, electronic ticketing, and on the other hand, security devices such as cameras and fences. Some participants felt that they could learn from Italian systems to protect archaeological heritage, including their rigorous anti- trafficking policy.

The quick and the dead in the extra-urban landscape: the Roman cemetery at Ostia/Portus as a lived environment E-J Graham Introduction The urban cemeteries of the Roman world have often been described as ‘cities of the dead.’ The organisational and structural similarities between the so-called ‘streets of tombs’ which developed on the outskirts of major Italian urban areas such as Rome, Ostia and Pompeii, and the spaces within the city walls themselves have been highlighted by scholars wishing to demonstrate that the living city ‘found its double in these ‘cities of the dead’’ (Koortbojian, 1996: 232).

  • 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.

  • Jan Theo Bakker - Bernard Meijlink
    1 Introduction Jan Theo Bakker - Bernard Meijlink § 1 Subject-matter and aims of the study - Jan Theo Bakker This study was inspired by the analysis of a shrine in one of Ostia’s bakeries, the Caseggiato dei Molini (I,III,1-2), published by the present author in 1994.1 It was summarized as follows:2 “In the years c. 210-215 AD a sacellum (area c. 13 m²) was built in a corridor. The shrine could only be reached by walking through the building. Inside are four wall-niches and an altar (a later addition). The religious function of the room was retained until the end: some fifty bronze and silver statuettes and a marble statuette of a Lar were found inside. The shrine is known as the Sacello del Silvano, because Silvanus was the main deity worshipped here. A painting of him was inside, another was later added on the outer wall next to the entrance. The painting in the interior was installed by someone ex viso. In the year 214 or 215, but before April 25th 215, a number of paintings was added. Directly behind the entrance the two Dioscures and at least four horses were depicted. This part of the shrine was an ante-room, set apart by a wooden partition. In the rear part of the shrine two groups of figures were added, one of which has been preserved fairly well. Depicted are Augustus, Harpocrates, Isis, Fortuna, Annona, probably a Genius, and the lysippian Alexander the Great. Later in the first half of the third century some repainting took place.

  • Exploring Agro-Towns and Inequality in Southern Italy Through a Collective
    A new Mezzogiorno? Exploring agro-towns and inequality in Southern Italy through a collective agricultural system in Apulia, 1600-1900 “What do people do here? I once asked at a little town between Rome and Naples; and the man with whom I talked, shrugging his shoulders, answered curtly, „c‟è miseria‟, there‟s nothing but poverty… I have seen poverty enough, and squalid conditions of life, but the most ugly and repulsive collection of houses I ever came upon was the town of Squillace”.1 George Gissing’s ‘rambles’ through Southern Italy at the turn of the twentieth century led him to remark extensively on the topography. In particular, he frequently mentioned the miserable living conditions of the people he encountered who tended to live huddled together in large impoverished towns. His account is made all the more interesting by the fact that (a) Southern Italy is today more economically disadvantaged than Northern Italy with some of the poorest social and economic infrastructures in Western Europe,2 and (b) this habitation pattern within large towns has been retained in large parts of modern Southern Italy. While alternative settlement patterns do exist in Southern Italy including small villages and isolated farms, it is undeniable that the distribution of large concentrated towns is prolific.a It is also a settlement structure often seen in other areas of the Mediterranean such as in central and southern parts of the Iberian Peninsula, regions of mainland Greece, and in parts of Northern Africa. These large agglomerated settlements are often referred to as ‘agro-towns’, pointing to their essentially agricultural function.

  • The Forming Process of Fiumicino Giuseppe Strappa, Marta Crognale Dipartimento Di Architettura E Progetto
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Archivio della ricerca- Università di Roma La Sapienza The Forming Process of Fiumicino Giuseppe Strappa, Marta Crognale Dipartimento di Architettura e Progetto. Università degli Studi “Sapienza” di Roma Facoltà di Architettura. Piazza Borghese n. 9. 00186 - Roma E-mail: gstrappa @yahoo.com, [email protected] Keywords: Fiumicino, Portuense, forming process Abstract This work, carried out within the Lettura e Progetto (Lpa) Laboratory of "Sapienza", University of Rome, and based on the “processual” method, proposes the regeneration, through the reading and interpretation of the forming process, of the urban settlement of Fiumicino, on the east coast of Rome. The area was formed by a set of fragmented interventions developed in different phases, with heterogeneous destinations and, apparently, no relation of necessity between them. The site appears mainly linked to the development of illegal buildings that date back to the second postwar period. However, a deeper analysis based on the reading and interpretation of the character of the building fabric, shows the existence of a clear relation of historical continuity between the today town and the territorial structures developed starting from the ancient city of Portus. Through this reading emerges the plan of a town connected to the activities of Porto Canale (Channel Port) in function since XVI Century. From the analysis of the historical cartography appears as a matrix route based on the continuation of the ancient via Portuense was formed in time and developed on the building routes that have resulted. We propose a hypothesis of regeneration in the existing fabric through the densification of routes at higher urban vocation.

  • The Transformation to the Early Middle Ages
    HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES From the Light and into the Dark: The Transformation to the Early Middle Ages Arrush Choudhary College of Arts and Science, Vanderbilt University From a historic perspective, the period of Roman rule and the following Middle Ages are po- lar opposites. For most, the city of Rome and the Western Roman Empire represent a time of advancement for the Mediterranean world while the Middle Ages are viewed as a regression of sorts for Europe. The reasons explaining the underlying cause of this transition from the West- ern Roman Empire to the Middle Ages are numerous but this paper will specifically focus on the practices started by the Romans themselves and how they contributed to the rise of the Early Middle Ages on the Italian Peninsula. More specifically, economic turmoil and urbanization fol- lowing the 3rd century crisis in the city of Rome laid the groundwork for social, legislative, and political changes that thread the path to the fundamental characteristics of the Middle Ages. Changing views of the city and the countryside, the construction of latifundia and villas, and the passing of legislation that restricted the rights of laborers, in addition to other transformations in late Rome, all contributed to the decentralized governance, rural life, and serfdom that are characteristic of the Middle Ages. Ultimately, the goal of this paper is to illustrate that despite the major differences that exist between the Roman period and the Middle Ages, the practices of the late Western Roman Empire were often directly carried over into the Middle Ages and, as a result, for one to truly understand the origins of the Middle Ages, it is essential to comprehend the traditions started by the late Romans.

  • The Shops and Shopkeepers of Ancient Rome
    CHARM 2015 Proceedings Marketing an Urban Identity: The Shops and Shopkeepers of Ancient Rome 135 Rhodora G. Vennarucci Lecturer of Classics, Department of World Languages, Literatures, and Cultures, University of Arkansas, U.S.A. Abstract Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the development of fixed-point retailing in the city of ancient Rome between the 2nd c BCE and the 2nd/3rd c CE. Changes in the socio-economic environment during the 2nd c BCE caused the structure of Rome’s urban retail system to shift from one chiefly reliant on temporary markets and fairs to one typified by permanent shops. As shops came to dominate the architectural experience of Rome’s streetscapes, shopkeepers took advantage of the increased visibility by focusing their marketing strategies on their shop designs. Through this process, the shopkeeper and his shop actively contributed to urban placemaking and the distribution of an urban identity at Rome. Design/methodology/approach – This paper employs an interdisciplinary approach in its analysis, combining textual, archaeological, and art historical materials with comparative history and modern marketing theory. Research limitation/implications – Retailing in ancient Rome remains a neglected area of study on account of the traditional view among economic historians that the retail trades of pre-industrial societies were primitive and unsophisticated. This paper challenges traditional models of marketing history by establishing the shop as both the dominant method of urban distribution and the chief means for advertising at Rome. Keywords – Ancient Rome, Ostia, Shop Design, Advertising, Retail Change, Urban Identity Paper Type – Research Paper Introduction The permanent Roman shop was a locus for both commercial and social exchanges, and the shopkeeper acted as the mediator of these exchanges.
