Roman Images of Diana Bettina Bergmann Mount Holyoke College ! "! A Double Triple Play: Roman Images of Diana Bettina Bergmann Mount Holyoke College John Miller’s study of Augustan Apollo inspired me to return to Paul Zanker’s The Power of Images in the Age of Augustus (1988), a book that demonstrated the immense potential of an interdisciplinary approach rather than exclusive focus on any one artistic mode. Nearly a quarter of a century later, this session continues to grapple with the challenges of interdisciplinarity and assessment of the Augustan era. Miller’s subtle analysis of poets’ intricate language invites a renewed consideration of the relationships among texts, sites, and images. The operations that he describes -- conflating, juxtaposing, allusion, correspondence, association – can be related directly to the analysis of topography and monuments as well. I also would like to extend his recommendation to “analyze variations in light of one another” and consider visual images of an elusive figure in his book, the divine twin Diana. The goddess appears, often as an afterthought, literally placed in parentheses after a mention of Apollo, until she assumes prominence in Miller’s insightful treatment of the saecular games (Chapter Five). As I will argue, however, in the visual environment of Augustan Rome, she would have been impossible to bracket out. While the goddess, fiercely independent, often appeared alone, in the second half of the first century B.C.E. she became a faithful companion of Apollo. Diva triformis The late republic and early empire saw an explosion of images of the divine sister, who, like Apollo, evolved into a dynamic, shape-shifting deity, slipping from one identity to another: Hecate, Trivia, Luna, Selene, even Juno Lucina. The reverses of denarii minted by the Arician Publius Accoleius Lariscolus in the year following Caesar’s death, September–December 43 B.C.E., depict a new visual type in Italy, the threefold unity of Diana as huntress, the moon goddess Selene, and Hekate, goddess of the underworld (Fig.1). The three figures stand before a grove of cypresses (the grove of Aricia, home of Octavian’s mother Atia), connected by a ! #! horizontal bar behind their necks.12 In these years, the triple-form goddess, diva triformis as Horace called her, became a ubiquitous feature in the newly popular depictions of sacred groves, where, like Priapus and Pan, Trivia/Hecate marks intersections and the consecrated boundaries of sanctuaries. One painting in this new genre of sacral-idyllic painting deserves closer attention, and that is a faded fresco in the so-called “House of Livia” on the Palatine (Fig.2).3 As we now know, identification of the structures as an Augustan residence is ever more problematic, which means that the paintings cannot necessarily be associated with the imperial family. Much has been written about the painted walls in the “House of Augustus”, less about those from one room in the “House of Livia” called the “Triclinium” or “Room of Landscapes”, which was excavated in 1869-1870 and recorded in watercolors now in the German Archaeological Institute in Rome. As in the “Room of the Masks”, the central panels of three walls “opened” onto outdoor sanctuaries. A monumental column decorated with offerings forms the center of one panel, an aniconic baetylos the center of another. The latter scene is of particular interest (Fig.3). What distinguishes this sacred grove, one of the best examples of the genre, is the specificity of the offerings. In a pine grove, three statuettes of Hecate holding torches stand on a semi-circular schola. Attached to the central, conical monument, a baetylos, are three naturalistically rendered animal heads: a boar, a goat, a stag, making the deity’s identity as the huntress Diana unmistakable. The same hunting trophies are dedicated to her in epigrams and in Vergil’s seventh eclogue, addressed to Delia, announcing gifts of the head of a bristled boar and the branching horns of a mature stag (7.29-32). Whether or not the paintings in the “House of Livia” were executed for Augustus’s family, the material splendor of the depicted precinct resonates with other dedicatory offerings !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! 2 A. Alföldi, "Diana Nemorensis," AJA 64 (1960) 137-144; C.M. Green, Roman Religion and the Cult of Diana at Aricia (Cambridge 2007) 30-32; 112-144. The statue type of three goddesses adjoined to a pillar, their heads facing in three different directions, was one of the earliest archaistic images created and was erected by Alkamenes about 425 B.C.E. on the bastion of Athena Nike in Athens: Mark Fullerton, The Archaistic Style in Roman Statuary (Brill 1990) Chapter Two “Artemis/Diana”. 3 G.E.Rizzo, Le pitture della "Casa di Livia" (Palatino) (Rome: 1936); M.A.Tomei, Scavi francesi sul Palatino: le indagini di Pietro Rosa per Napoleone III (1861-1870) (Rome 1999) Chapter 9 “La casa paterna di Tiberio Cesare, 1869-1870”; Erika Simon, Augustus: Kunst und Leben in Rom um die Zeitenwende (Munich, 1986) 188- 191. ! $! to Diana and Apollo on the Palatine. The aniconic baetylos, which had a long history in the imagery of Apollo and was revived after the Battle of Actium, appears in a fresco in the “Room of the Masks” (Fig.4) and on terracotta plaques from the Temple of Apollo complex, where it is decorated with the god’s quiver and lyre, signalling his roles as avenger and civilizer (Fig.5). The painted precinct alludes to yet another aspect of the goddess. To the right of the baetylos sits an enormous, golden, rayed crown, an attribute of Diana’s cult at Tauris (Fig.3). A few years before the introduction of the triple-bodied Trivia/Hecate, images of the cult statue wearing the crown appeared on a denarius struck by L. Hostilius Saserna in 48 B.C.E. to commemorate Caesar’s siege of Massilia, where the cult of Diana was especially prominent (Fig.6); on the reverse the goddess faces forward, the rayed crown on her head, holding a stag by the base of the antlers and an upright hunting spear for hunting wild boar, a venabulum, a new attribute of the goddess and an Italian innovation. As is the case with the diva triformis, the frontal image of a crowned Diana wearing a quiver and holding torches recurs on painted walls in the second half of the first century B.C.E., multiple times in the cubiculum of the Villa of Fannius Synistor at Boscoreale, where the viewer has the impression of glimpsing an epiphany of the goddess in her open shrine (Fig.7).4 The fresco on the Palatine, then, represents a sacred space where Diana presides in manifold manifestations, indicated by prominent visual signs. Goddess of the wild is celebrated with dedications of hunters’ prey; three torch-bearing Hecates guard the shrine; and the foreign deity Diana, recipient of a magnificent crown, all co-exist with Apollo’s aniconic baetylos in a multi-referential combination not unlike one of the many webs of allusions that Miller charts in Augustan poetry. Triad: Apollo, Latona, Diana As Miller has pointed out, the Sorrento Relief represents the cult images from Augustus’s Temple of Apollo Palatinus erected in 28 B.C.E. (Fig.8). Each statue was the work of a different master of the fourth century B.C.E.: Apollo at center with his kithara, by Skopas; Latona right with her scepter, by Kephistodotos; and Diana left wearing a quiver and holding her torch as light-bringer, Lucifera, by Timotheos (Plin.N.H.36.32, 24). At the lower right !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 4 P.W. Lehmann, Roman wall paintings from Boscoreale in the Metropolitan Museum of Art with an appendix by Herbert Bloch (Cambridge, Mass., 1953) 109-115; 124-125; 196-197. ! %! kneels the shrouded Sibyl, whose books now are sheltered inside the temple. Miller also illustrates another representation of the Palatine triad (Fig.9), one of a long series of Augustan reliefs depicting mother and twins, where the attributes indicate who is who: Apollo leads, holding his kithara, towards a libation-pouring Victory, Diana follows with her torch, and their mother Latona behind lifting her veil and holding a scepter. I would like to pause here to compare the styles of these two representations. The Sorrento base depicts three, free-standing statues by famous Greek artists, recycled for the new Palatine temple. The gods face outward, as they would from inside the cella. On the other relief, the same three gods stride in profile in an archaistic manner, a style that found new purchase under Augustus as invoking the past and signaling pietas. The antiquated look perfectly expressed the reverential character of Apollo and Diana. In this form on aureii struck in Lugdunum between 10-8 B.C.E. to celebrate Augustus’s victories, Apollo signals Actium (ACT. written in the exergue) and an archaistic Diana the defeat of Sextus Pompey at Naulochos (SICIL.), this perhaps representing another famous statue, the Diana of Segesta (Fig.10). The proliferation and co-existence of artistic styles should not be seen as evidence of random looting, collecting, or copying. Rather, they accompany the many new figural types and attributes being generated in Augustan art and are equally as expressive. Indeed, such conscious appropriation and creative combination can be seen as another kind of intertextuality, or intervisuality, namely an active dialogue with past styles that resonates with poets’ invocation of Homeric phrases. Twinning: Apollo and Diana In Augustan Rome I also would underscore the twinning of Apollo and Diana in the visual arts. Brother and sister appeared together elsewhere on the Palatine: in their fighting mode on the ivory doors of the Temple of Apollo, slaughtering the Niobids, and rising majestially from a chariot atop the Arcus Octavii, a statue said to have been carved out of a single block of marble (Pliny N.H.36.36).

  • Transantiquity
    TransAntiquity TransAntiquity explores transgender practices, in particular cross-dressing, and their literary and figurative representations in antiquity. It offers a ground-breaking study of cross-dressing, both the social practice and its conceptualization, and its interaction with normative prescriptions on gender and sexuality in the ancient Mediterranean world. Special attention is paid to the reactions of the societies of the time, the impact transgender practices had on individuals’ symbolic and social capital, as well as the reactions of institutionalized power and the juridical systems. The variety of subjects and approaches demonstrates just how complex and widespread “transgender dynamics” were in antiquity.

  • ON the GODS of GREECE, ITALY, and INDIA Phiroze Vasunia a New Form of Cultural Cosmopolitanism
    NATIONALISM AND COSMOPOLITANISM: ON THE GODS OF GREECE, ITALY, AND INDIA Phiroze Vasunia A new form of cultural cosmopolitanism arose in Europe, in the second half of the eighteenth century, partly as a consequence of the Enlightenment and partly as the result of an increased colonial presence in Asia. One of its most illustrious and influential exponents was William Jones, the linguist, translator, and judge for the East India Company in Calcutta. His lecture ‘On the Gods of Greece, Italy, and India’, written in 1784 and subsequently revised, offers a perspective on myth that is supple, flexible, and wide-ranging. It appeared some time before his famous statement about the kinship of languages, in the Third Anniversary Discourse of February 1786, and anticipates some of the conclusions at which he arrived later still. In fact, Jones’ writings in the months and years before the celebrated discourse of 1786, are already pointing to connections and syntheses across cultures; they offer a conception of mythological and religious contact that is startling in its openness and far removed from the parochialism of numerous contemporaries. Jones’ work demonstrates that a cosmopolitan and transnational recuperation of the ancient narratives exists alongside national or nationalist readings of myth. The emergence of the nation state in the eighteenth century gave a new urgency to the idea and the actuality of the nation and, thus, also an important new context to the relationship between nation and myth. The Founding Fathers and other colonial Americans argued vehemently about the meaning of the story of Aeneas and the establishment of Rome.

  • Cultural History of the Lunar and Solar Eclipse in the Early Roman Empire
    Cultural History of the Lunar and Solar Eclipse in the Early Roman Empire Richard C. Carrier The regularity and consistency of human imagination may be first displayed in the beliefs connected with eclipses. It is well known that these phenomena, to us now crucial instances of the exactness of natural laws, are, throughout the lower stages of civilization, the very embodiment of miraculous disaster.1 Fifteen hundred years have not yet passed since Greece numbered and named the stars and yet many nations today only know the heavens by their appearance, and do not yet understand why the moon fails or how it is overshadowed.2 More than fifteen hundred years separates these two remarks. Each reveals a gulf between the learned and unlearned, but for Tylor it is a contrast between today and long ago, or here and far away, while for Seneca it is a contrast between the wise and the vulgar, who live in the same time and place. For the lunar and solar eclipse is a phenomenon where the strongest and clearest divide appears between the educated Roman and the common multitude. In contrast with almost everything else in Roman experience, from earthquakes to disease, eclipses of sun and moon can be understood in their entirety, and explained with mathematical precision, without the aid of advanced technology or modern scientific methods. But to those who lacked the encouragement to employ careful observation and physical explanation, and who lacked the breadth of information available to the literate, the eclipse was the most awesome and dire event in human experience.

  • Gods, Planets, Astrology
    Roman and Greek Mythology Names: Gods, Planets, Astrology By J. Aptaker Roman & Greek Mythology Names: Gods, Planets This page will give the Roman and Greek mythology names of gods after whom planets were named, and will explain how those planets came to be named after them. It will also give pictures of these gods, and tell their stories. By extension, these gods’ planets, in the minds of the ancients, influenced the personality traits of people born at various times of the year. Thus, the connection between gods, planets, and astrology. In the Beginning Was Chaos The ancients perceived that although most stars maintained a relatively fixed position, some of them seemed to move. Five such “wandering stars”--the word “planet” comes from a Greek word meaning “to wander or stray”--were obvious to the naked eye. These were Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. In fact, it is thought that both the seven- day week and the overall sacredness of the number seven within many mystical/religious traditions may have begun with the observation of seven heavenly bodies which moved: the five visible planets, the sun, and the moon. Each of these seven heavenly bodies is associated with a particular day of the week. According to Greek mythology, the first god was Chaos. While the word Chaos brings certain images of mayhem and disorderliness to the English-speaking mind, the Greek god Chaos was just a big, empty, black, Nothing. Chaos was Nothingness, the Void, or empty space. After Chaos came the goddess Earth, who was known to the Greeks as Ge (or Gaia), and to the Romans as Terra.

Through analysis of material culture, historiography, and poetry that originated during the principate of Augustus, it becomes clear that each of these sources of evidence contributes to the public image projected by the leader whom Ronald Syme considered to be the first Roman emperor. The Ara Pacis Augustae and the Res Gestae Divi Augustae embody the legacy the Emperor wished to establish, and each of these cultural works contain significant references to the Vestal Virgins. The study of history Livy undertook also emphasized the pathetic plight of Rhea Silvia as she was compelled to become a Vestal. Livy and his contemporary Dionysius of Halicarnassus explored the foundation of the Vestal Order and each writer had his own explanation about how Numa founded it. The Roman poets Virgil, Horace, Ovid, and Tibullus incorporated Vesta and the Vestals into their work in a way that offers further proof of the way Augustus insinuated himself into the fabric of Roman cultural identity by associating his public image with these honored priestesses.

  • Forward and Backward Private Searchable Encryption from Constrained Cryptographic Primitives
    Forward and Backward Private Searchable Encryption from Constrained Cryptographic Primitives Raphael Bost∗ Brice Minaudy Olga Ohrimenkoz Abstract Using dynamic Searchable Symmetric Encryption, a user with limited storage resources can securely outsource a database to an untrusted server, in such a way that the database can still be searched and updated efficiently. For these schemes, it would be desirable that updates do not reveal any information a priori about the modifications they carry out, and that deleted results remain inaccessible to the server a posteriori. If the first property, called forward privacy, has been the main motivation of recent works, the second one, backward privacy, has been overlooked. In this paper, we study for the first time the notion of backward privacy for searchable encryption. After giving formal definitions for different flavors of backward privacy, we present several schemes achieving both forward and backward privacy, with various efficiency trade-offs. Our constructions crucially rely on primitives such as constrained pseudo-random functions and punc- turable encryption schemes. Using these advanced cryptographic primitives allows for a fine-grained control of the power of the adversary, preventing her from evaluating functions on selected inputs, or de- crypting specific ciphertexts. In turn, this high degree of control allows our SSE constructions to achieve the stronger forms of privacy outlined above. As an example, we present a framework to construct forward-private schemes from range-constrained pseudo-random functions. Finally, we provide experimental results for implementations of our schemes, and study their practical efficiency. 1 Introduction Symmetric Searchable Encryption (SSE) enables a client to outsource the storage of private data to an untrusted server, while retaining the ability to issue search queries over the outsourced data.
