  • Reflecting Antiquity Explores the Rediscovery of Roman Glass and Its Influence on Modern Glass Production
    Reflecting Antiquity explores the rediscovery of Roman glass and its influence on modern glass production. It brings together 112 objects from more than 24 lenders, featuring ancient Roman originals as well as the modern replicas they inspired. Following are some of the highlights on view in the exhibition. Portland Vase Base Disk The Portland Vase is the most important and famous work of cameo glass to have survived from ancient Rome. Modern analysis of the vase, with special attention to the elongation of the bubbles preserved in the lower body, suggest that it was originally shaped as an amphora (storage vessel) with a pointed base. At some point in antiquity, the vessel suffered some damage and acquired this replacement disk. The male figure and the foliage on the disk were not carved by the same Unknown artist that created the mythological frieze on the vase. Wearing a Phrygian cap Portland Vase Base Disk Roman, 25 B.C.–A.D. 25 and pointing to his mouth in a gesture of uncertainty, the young man is Paris, a Glass Object: Diam.: 12.2 cm (4 13/16 in.) prince of Troy who chose Aphrodite over Hera and Athena as the most beautiful British Museum.

  • Values and Traditions of South Australian Italian Migrants
    Values and traditions of South Australian Italian migrants from Caulonia (Calabria) Daniela Cosmini-Rose (Abstract) To what extent do South Australian Italian migrants from Caulonia (Calabria) maintain their cultural practices and traditions in everyday life in Adelaide, Australia? This is one of the main questions that this paper aims to explore. Cauloniese migration is particularly interesting because of the proportionately large percentage of arrivals in South Australia. Among the Australian states, South Australia was by far the preferred destination of the cauloniesi, followed by Western Australia and Victoria. Caulonia is an ancient village of Greek origins perched high on a hilltop, situated in the Calabria region, one hundred and twenty-one kilometres north- east of Reggio Calabria and sixty-four kilometres south of Catanzaro (the capital city of the Calabria region). Agriculture has been for centuries the primary means of subsistence of the whole village, and still today it plays a major role in its economy. The primary agricultural products are citrus fruits, cereals, olives and vegetables. The industrial sector is particularly weak because of the lack of investments, and the unemployment rate is higher than the national average. Rose, Daniela 2006. Values and traditions of South Australian Italian migrants from Caulonia (Calabria). 'Migration of Cultures Symposium', 10-13 April. Flinders University. [abstract]. Archived at Flinders University: dspace.flinders.edu.au 2 There is not a family in Caulonia that does not have one or more relatives who have migrated either to northern Italy or to other countries such as Australia, the USA, Canada, Argentina, Venezuela or France. Due to migration, the town’s population has steadily declined from a peak of 13,838 in 1921 to just 7,756 in 2001.

I, Insula 14, during the 1950’s Pompeii excavation was examined by Raman and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The analyzed specimen was selected based on its intense blue color and its well- preserved aspect. The purpose of the work was the chemical characterization of Pompeii’s glass in correlation to the actual knowledge of Roman glassmaking technology from the Mediterranean area.

  • Contextualizing the Archaeometric Analysis of Roman Glass
    Contextualizing the Archaeometric Analysis of Roman Glass A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati Department of Classics McMicken College of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts August 2015 by Christopher J. Hayward BA, BSc University of Auckland 2012 Committee: Dr. Barbara Burrell (Chair) Dr. Kathleen Lynch 1 Abstract This thesis is a review of recent archaeometric studies on glass of the Roman Empire, intended for an audience of classical archaeologists. It discusses the physical and chemical properties of glass, and the way these define both its use in ancient times and the analytical options available to us today. It also discusses Roman glass as a class of artifacts, the product of technological developments in glassmaking with their ultimate roots in the Bronze Age, and of the particular socioeconomic conditions created by Roman political dominance in the classical Mediterranean. The principal aim of this thesis is to contextualize archaeometric analyses of Roman glass in a way that will make plain, to an archaeologically trained audience that does not necessarily have a history of close involvement with archaeometric work, the importance of recent results for our understanding of the Roman world, and the potential of future studies to add to this. 2 3 Acknowledgements This thesis, like any, has been something of an ordeal. For my continued life and sanity throughout the writing process, I am eternally grateful to my family, and to friends both near and far. Particular thanks are owed to my supervisors, Barbara Burrell and Kathleen Lynch, for their unending patience, insightful comments, and keen-eyed proofreading; to my parents, Julie and Greg Hayward, for their absolute faith in my abilities; to my colleagues, Kyle Helms and Carol Hershenson, for their constant support and encouragement; and to my best friend, James Crooks, for his willingness to endure the brunt of my every breakdown, great or small.

  • Corinth, 1978: Forum Southwest
    CORINTH, 1978: FORUM SOUTHWEST (PLATES 41-52) I URING THE SPRING of 1978 attentionsof the AmericanSchool of Classical Studies were focused on three monuments that lie at the southwest corner of the Corinthian forum.' The programme was a direct continuation of the work in the same area undertaken in the previous seasons. Excavation within the Punic Amphora Building west of the South Stoa resulted in a better understanding of the plan and phases of occupation of the 5th-century structure. Pottery finds show that originally it was a house constructed and occupied in the 460's. In its second phase it served a more commercial use, perhaps not as a residence at all. Most of the building was abandoned in the third quarter of the 5th century, although its southeast corner room appears to have been used into the late 4th century B.C. During the 1978 season Building IV, which underlies the west end of the South Stoa, was investigated; this building has a cellar which was filled in the middle of the 4th century. Apparently Building IV was abandoned around 350 or slightly thereafter; the site then was used for industrial purposes until the South Stoa was planned and laid out over the area. In the third section investigated, south of the west end of the South Stoa, exca- vation was begun at modern levels and descended to Classical strata behind Store- rooms XXXI through XXXIII of the stoa. Excavation will be continued there in 1979 in order to understand more fully the Hellenistic levels now only partially ex- posed.

    Economic role of the Roman army in the province of Lower Moesia (Moesia Inferior) INSTITUTE OF EUROPEAN CULTURE ADAM MICKIEWICZ UNIVERSITY IN POZNAŃ ACTA HUMANISTICA GNESNENSIA VOL. XVI ECONOMIC ROLE OF THE ROMAN ARMY IN THE PROVINCE OF LOWER MOESIA (MOESIA INFERIOR) Michał Duch This books takes a comprehensive look at the Roman army as a factor which prompted substantial changes and economic transformations in the province of Lower Moesia, discussing its impact on the development of particular branches of the economy. The volume comprises five chapters. Chapter One, entitled “Before Lower Moesia: A Political and Economic Outline” consti- tutes an introduction which presents the economic circumstances in the region prior to Roman conquest. In Chapter Two, entitled “Garrison of the Lower Moesia and the Scale of Militarization”, the author estimates the size of the garrison in the province and analyzes the influence that the military presence had on the demography of Lower Moesia. The following chapter – “Monetization” – is concerned with the financial standing of the Roman soldiery and their contri- bution to the monetization of the province. Chapter Four, “Construction”, addresses construction undertakings on which the army embarked and the outcomes it produced, such as urbanization of the province, sustained security and order (as envisaged by the Romans), expansion of the economic market and exploitation of the province’s natural resources. In the final chapter, entitled “Military Logistics and the Local Market”, the narrative focuses on selected aspects of agriculture, crafts and, to a slightly lesser extent, on trade and services. The book demonstrates how the Roman army, seeking to meet its provisioning needs, participated in and contributed to the functioning of these industries.
