  • Villas and Agriculture in Republican Italy
    CHAPTER 20 Villas and Agriculture in Republican Italy Jeffrey A. Becker 1 Introduction The iconicity of the “Roman villa” affords it a rare status in that its appeal easily cuts across the boundaries of multiple disciplines. This is perhaps because the villa has always stimulated our imagination about the ancient world and cultivated a longing for that realm of convivial, pastoral bliss that the villa conjures up for us. Just as Seneca contem- plated Roman virtues in the context of the villa of Scipio Africanus (Sen. Ep. 86), mod- ern (and post-modern) thinkers continue to privilege the villa both as place and space, often using its realm as one in which to generate reconstructions and visions of the ancient past. In the nineteenth century the Roman villa appealed to the Romantics and the exploration of Vesuvian sites, in particular, fueled a growing scholarly interest in the architecture and aesthetics of the Roman villa (most recently, Mattusch, 2008). Often guided by ancient texts, villas were divided into typological groups, as were the interior appointments from wall paintings to floor mosaics. Villas seemed to be a homogeneous type, representative of a “Roman” cultural norm. The fascination with villa life began in antiquity, not only with the likes of Seneca but also poets and scholars such as Virgil and Varro. In spite of the iconic status of the villa from antiquity to modernity, a good deal of uncertainty remains with respect to the archaeology of Roman villas of the latter half of the first millennium. The scholarly approach to the Roman villa finds itself at something of a crossroads, particularly with respect to the villas of the Republican period in Italy.

  • Pompeii and the Roman Villa
    Pompeii and the Roman Villa ART AND CULTURE AROUND THE BAY OF NAPLES __________________________________________________________________________________________________ HE ANCIENT GREEK PHILOSOPHER EPICURUS STATED: “PLEASURE IS THE BEGINNING and end of living happily.” This statement rang true for prominent Romans who spent their leisure time in luxurious villas and houses in the towns of TPompeii, Herculaneum, and other ancient Roman towns that were centers of activity along the Bay of Naples in the first century BC and the first century AD. Epicurus’s philosophy appealed to many Romans who retreated to their country homes in the spring and summer months to enjoy a respite from their working lives in Rome. Pompeii, in the region of Campania, retained its Greek culture and character after becoming a Roman colony in 80 BC. The Romans considered Greece a source of culture, beauty, and wisdom, and knowledge of Greek culture was a status symbol that signaled refinement and education. Greek influence pervaded the decor of Roman residences around the Bay of Naples and was reflected in the works of art both acquired and emulated by Roman patrons. Some Romans, when on vacation, even wore Greek dress—such as a chiton for men or a peplos for women—rather than the standard toga of the day. These curriculum materials explore the cultural and artistic life in Pompeii and other towns around the Bay of Naples in the centuries leading up to the eruption of Vesuvius in the year 79. Two works of art, the mosaic Plato’s Academy (1st century BC–1st century AD) and the fresco Garden Scene (1st century BC–1st century AD), are examples of the embellishments applied to the gardens and interiors of Pompeian villas.

However, remote sensing actions aimed at the study of structural elements that require a very high resolution are rare. In this study, layer characterization of the floor mosaic substrate of the Pisões Roman archaeological site was carried out. This work was performed with two noninvasive techniques: 3D ground penetrating radar (3D GPR) operating with a 1.6 GHz central frequency antenna, which is a very high-resolution geophysical method, and photogrammetry with imagery obtained by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), which is a very high-resolution optical method.

  • The Roman Villas of Wales
    THE ROMAN VILLAS OF WALES A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts In History University of Regina by JENNIFER ERIN ROWE Regina, Saskatchewan January 2015 Copyright 2015: J. E. Rowe UNIVERSITY OF REGINA FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES AND RESEARCH SUPERVISORY AND EXAMINING COMMITTEE Jennifer Erin Rowe, candidate for the degree of Master of Arts in History, has presented a thesis titled, The Roman Villas of Wales, in an oral examination held on November 26, 2014. The following committee members have found the thesis acceptable in form and content, and that the candidate demonstrated satisfactory knowledge of the subject material. External Examiner: *Dr. Sinclair Bell, Northern Illinois University Supervisor: Dr. Kenneth B. Leyton-Brown, Department of History Committee Member: Dr. Robin Ganev, Department of History Committee Member: Dr. Raymond Blake, Department of History Chair of Defense: Dr. Christopher Oriet, Department of Psychology *via teleconference ABSTRACT Roman villas are a primary component of the landscape of the Roman Empire. Despite their varying architectural features and appearances, these elite rural settlements are an important element in examining the extent and effect of Romanization within the provinces of the Roman Empire, and are a primary factor in considering the way in which Roman villas developed in the western frontier region of Roman Britain; an area known today as the country of Wales. This thesis will examine the establishment, development and evolution of Roman villas in Wales. Particular attention will be placed on the elements which led to the establishment of villas in this western frontier region of Roman Britain, including geography, climate, physical environment, the economy and the Roman military, while investigating how these domestic spaces came to be one of the most recognizable forms of Romanization within the region.

Howe The Development of Panoramic Sensibilities in Art, Literature, Architecture and Gardens in the Villas of Rome in the Late Republic and Early Empire: The Perspective from Stabiae The Borderless World of the Late Hellenistic Mediterranean Elite1 The immense proliferation of Roman luxury villas villae( maritimae) around the Bay of Naples seems to have accelerated rapidly after the Social War of 91–89 B.C. and Pompeius’ suppression of piracy in 74 B.C., so much that by the time Strabo was writing in about 9 B.C. the area was… “…strewn, in part with these cities… and in part with residences and plantations which, following in unbroken succession, present the aspect of a single city”. (Strab., 5.4.8) The process of increasing the luxury of townhouses in Rome (domus) and villas in the Bay of Naples, accelerated in the last decades of the Republic and coincided with the most fero- cious senatorial political competition2, and villas and outward signs of Greek culture were new tools of political competition. “In 78 B.C. there was no finer house in Rome than that of Lepidus, but only thirty five years later it was not even in hundredth place” (Plin., NH, 36.109). But after about 30 B.C., at the end of the Civil Wars, to about A.D. 60 — with the virtual end of senatorial political competition — another development takes place: the Roman elite and their artists and architects created a unified multi-media environment in their villas which unifies painting, poetry, architecture, and garden design to views of nature.
