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. -
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. -

Lead Exposure in Ancient Rome Jerome Nriagu & Mitsuyo Sakamoto Department of Environmental Health Sciences, School of Public Health, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109 ABSTRACT The cemetery population of Isola Sacra dates to the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD and consisted of middle class traders and craftsmen as suggested by tomb inscriptions. We present data to show that most of the skeletal remains (humans as well as domestic animals) at the site have become diagenetically contaminated with lead. Analysis of 22 bones from protected monumental tombs, believed to be free of post-mortem changes, shows average lead concentration of 10 μg/g, with the range being 0.87-36 μg/g. The observed bone lead levels are comparable to values that have been reported for many modern urban populations. Calculated average blood lead level was 10 μg/dL (range, 0.89-36 μg/dL) and suggest that exposure to lead was not just restricted to the aristocracy but was pervasive among all social classes of the Roman population. The health risk of the suspected lead exposure dose would have been marginal for the adult population but likely inimical to children. The isotopic composition of the bone lead suggests that the cemetery population obtained their lead from multiple ancient sources. The aim of releasing this report is to encourage further debate and research on the role of lead poisoning in the decline of the ancient Roman Empire [Prepared in 2011] 1 Lead Exposure in Ancient Rome INTRODUCTION Exposure of Roman populations to lead has fascinated scientists because of the claim that lead poisoning was a contributing factor to the decline of the Roman empire (Gilfillan, 1965; 1991; Nriagu, 1983). -

Typeset by Academic + Technical Typesetting, Bristol, Great Britain Printed by Berforts Information Press, Eynsham, Oxford, Great Britain The port system of Imperial Rome Simon Keay INTRODUCTION ortus, the maritime port of Imperial Rome, was located some 30 km to the southwest of P Rome, and just under 3 km to the north of Ostia at the mouth of the Tiber. It was an artificial port that was begun under Claudius, was substantially enlarged under Trajan, and underwent continued further development in the late antique period. There is little doubt that the prime purpose of Portus was to help satiate the huge demand of the city of Rome for foodstuffs and material (Tchernia and Viviers 2000: 779–89). While Ostia was clearly an important nexus of traders, shippers and representatives of the state involved in supplying Rome with food, Portus was the maritime hub of Rome that actually enabled cargoes to be unloaded and stored before reaching the City.1 The view underlying this paper is that the full implications of the establishment of Portus for our understanding of the mechanisms of how Rome was supplied have yet to be appreciated fully. -
