I must begin with my family, Tom, Michael, Lisa, and Mom. Their love and support throughout this entire process have meant so much to me. I dedicate this project to my Mom especially; I must acknowledge that nearly every good thing I know and good decision I’ve made is because of her. She has (literally and figuratively) pushed me to achieve this dream. Mom has been my rock, my wall to lean upon, every single day. I love you, Mom. Tom, Michael, and Lisa have been the best siblings and sister-in-law. Tom thinks what I do is cool, and that means the world to a little sister.

The archaeological evi- dence, however, is meagre and literary references to statues of women on the Forum Augustum are non-existing.4 A comparable architectural lieu de me´moire was Augustus’ mausoleum on the Campus Martius.5 The ideological presence of women in this monument is more straight-forward.

  • Martial and the City of Rome*
    Martial and the City of Rome* LUKE ROMAN ABSTRACT This essay examines the representation of the city of Rome in Martial’s Epigrams, and specifi cally, his references to urban topography. The city is an insistent and vivid presence in Martial’s Epigrams to a degree unparalleled in Roman poetry. He fashions a Rome that is more relentlessly sordid, irregular and jagged in texture, and overtly dissonant in its juxtapositions than the literary cities of his poetic predecessors. This new urban emphasis is not only a game of literary one-upmanship. Martial’s urban poetics takes shape in the context of renewed attention to the city and monumental building under the Flavians. ‘… et ad cubile est Roma’ (‘… and at my bedside is — Rome’, Martial, Epigrams 12.57.27) The prime setting for Martial’s Epigrams is Rome, and the life of the city is his main subject. Traditionally, Martial has been mined as a source for aspects of daily urban life: the presumption is that his realist orientation and focus on low-life scenarios bring us closer to the sordid everyday realities of urban existence omitted in other authors. Current scholarship, however, is increasingly impatient of the use of poets as transparent windows onto quotidian reality,1 and tends to stress their literary motives for constructing realist scenes in a certain form. While it would be reductive to insist that Roman literature does not provide insight, in a complex way, into Roman life, more recent work rightly observes that realist writers, who offer up images of Roman social life — Martial, Pliny the Younger, Juvenal — are also likely to be creating a reality that sets up central aspects of their self-representation.2 Accepting their picture of Rome as a descriptive impression of their surroundings is tantamount to perpetuating a rhetorical emphasis that is inevitably contestable and interested.

  • Calendar of Roman Events
    Introduction Steve Worboys and I began this calendar in 1980 or 1981 when we discovered that the exact dates of many events survive from Roman antiquity, the most famous being the ides of March murder of Caesar. Flipping through a few books on Roman history revealed a handful of dates, and we believed that to fill every day of the year would certainly be impossible. From 1981 until 1989 I kept the calendar, adding dates as I ran across them. In 1989 I typed the list into the computer and we began again to plunder books and journals for dates, this time recording sources. Since then I have worked and reworked the Calendar, revising old entries and adding many, many more. The Roman Calendar The calendar was reformed twice, once by Caesar in 46 BC and later by Augustus in 8 BC. Each of these reforms is described in A. K. Michels’ book The Calendar of the Roman Republic. In an ordinary pre-Julian year, the number of days in each month was as follows: 29 January 31 May 29 September 28 February 29 June 31 October 31 March 31 Quintilis (July) 29 November 29 April 29 Sextilis (August) 29 December. The Romans did not number the days of the months consecutively. They reckoned backwards from three fixed points: The kalends, the nones, and the ides. The kalends is the first day of the month. For months with 31 days the nones fall on the 7th and the ides the 15th. For other months the nones fall on the 5th and the ides on the 13th.

  • A Week in the Life of Ephesus by David A
    Taken from A Week in the Life of Ephesus by David A. deSilva. Copyright © 2020 by David A. deSilva. Published by InterVarsity Press, Downers Grove, IL. www.ivpress.com. 1 New Year’s Day 1 Kaisaros, 9 Kalends October The Divine Artemis Sends Birthday Wishes Publius Aurelius Serapion, priest of Artemis, strode with pride past the crowd that had gathered outside the great Artemision for the sacred procession. A hundred or so had prescribed roles in the procession; a thousand more devotees had made the kilometer-and-a-half trek from the city’s northern gate simply to participate. He saw many faces in the crowd that were unfamiliar to him from his five decades of moving through the streets and fora of Ephesus, no doubt a good number of them tourists who had made their way here to see the temple that was lauded as one of the seven greatest architectural wonders of the world. Serapion recalled once seeing a visitor from Athens standing before the temple, weeping. He inquired of him what had affected him so. “How can I now go back to Athens and take pride in our Par- thenon? It would take four such houses of our goddess Athena to fill just this one of Artemis!” Great indeed is Ephesian Artemis, Serapion mused with satisfaction. WeekinLifeof_Ephesus 15 March 27, 2020 9:49 AM 16 A Week in the Life of Ephesus Flanked by two acolytes bearing torches and clothed fully in white as he was, Serapion could feel his movements attract the attention of the crowd and savored the moment.

Whether that higher power was Jupiter Optimus Maximus or Jesus Christ, people were legitimately worried about their standing with their respective God or gods. As a result, each society developed means of maintaining good relationships with their gods. The religions of the Roman Empire and Christianity seemed to be polar opposites. During the period they were in co-existence, the proponents of each took it upon themselves to point out the differences between each religion. In reality, both Roman religion and Christianity shared many common threads, and many aspects of Christianity developed directly out of Roman religion.

Corpore enormi: the rhetoric of physical appearance in Suetonius and imperial portrait statuary1 Jennifer Trimble Written for Jaś Elsner and Michel Meyer, eds. Rhetoric and Roman Art. Cambridge University Press (forthcoming). Lenin’s corpse, Caligula’s body Vladimir Ilyich Lenin died in 1924, but his embalmed body has been displayed in a mausoleum in Moscow’s Red Square for almost ninety years (fig. 1). This extraordinary act of preservation makes strong claims about Lenin’s appearance. In his memoir about caring for the body, Ilya Zbarsky explains that the embalmers did not try to make Lenin look younger (he was 53 when he died), more handsome, stronger or in some other way better than life. The point was to make him better than death.2 They tried to prevent signs of decomposition and produce a lifelike appearance of sleep. This mattered most for the visible parts of the body, the head and hands. Early work focused on reversing the corpse’s greenish-gray color and plumping up the shriveled ears; false eyeballs kept the eyes from appearing too sunken; the eyelids and mouth were sewn shut.3 Anything below the visible surface was fair game for transformation; not least, the entire body was regularly immersed in a mix of glycerine and potassium acetate.

  • The Twelve Caesars
    THE TWELVE CAESARS GAIUS SUETONIUS TRANQUILLUS was born into a family of equestrian rank, probably in AD 70; his father had served as a military tribune under the emperor Otho. The place of his birth is unknown (possibly Hippo Regius in North Africa), but he was in Rome by the 90s. He practised as an advocate, perhaps for only a brief time, and embarked on a public career under the patronage of Pliny the Younger; he may have served on his sta when Pliny was governor of the province of Pontus and Bithynia in AD 110–11. Suetonius also devoted himself to scholarship from an early age, producing a number of learned works that are now almost entirely lost; the most important of these was On Illustrious Men, a collection of over 100 brief lives of notable Roman writers, parts of which still survive. He served as imperial secretary ‘for studies’ and ‘for libraries’, probably under the emperor Trajan, and as imperial secretary in charge of correspondence under the emperor Hadrian, a post from which he was dismissed in AD 122. He was at that time at work on his magnum opus, The Twelve Caesars, the only one of his works to survive virtually complete. He died perhaps sometime after the year AD 130. The poet and novelist ROBERT GRAVES was born in 1895, the son of the poet Alfred Graves and his wife Amy, the great–niece of the historian Leopold von Ranke. He was educated at Charterhouse (1909–14), where he began publishing poetry. After leaving school, he served in the army during the First World War, and was severely wounded in the Battle of the Somme (1916).
