    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 two most common motifs featured on these tombstones are the rider relief motifs and the totenmahl motifs. Aspects of both the reliefs and the inscribed epitaphs are distinctly characteristic of the Roman military. Throughout the history of the Roman Empire, men in the auxiliary cavalry units were recruited from non-Roman allied tribes.

    N. Reggiani, Transmission of Recipes and Receptaria in Greek Medical Writings on Papyrus

    Nicola Reggiani Transmission of Recipes and Receptaria in Greek Medical Writings on Papyrus Between Ancient Text Production and Modern Digital Representation Fragments are much more important than books because they testify to texts potentially at the apex of an ancient period and now, for whatever reason, no longer extant. The claim of a wisdom from the ancient period extant only in fragments represents a secret apologetic weapon directed against the supremacy of the majority. […] Fragments of ancient wisdom constitute that literary past which the libraries want to canonize in their attempt to establish their supremacy over other cultural moving forces of ancient society.1 Ancient medical prescriptions (usually also known as ‘recipes’) are a very pecu- liar text typology. They are at the same time therapeutical / pharmaceutical indi- cations delivered by practicing physicians to the users (whether patients, col- leagues, or pharmacists)2 and ways of handing down an articulated set of knowledge.3 Based as they are on both scientific experience and practical know– how, they essentially aim at preserving and transmitting diagnostic–therapeutic records for future replication. It is apparent that such reference tools are subject to modifications, adaptations, and updates according to actual clinical cases and individual expertise.4 Medicine is not an exact, established science, but an evolv- ing set of strategies that imply theoretical reflection and practical action, both of 1 Veltri (2006) 91.

Borg Mumienporträts Portraits Funéraires Peints The term “painted funerary portraits” used here encompasses a group of portraits painted on either wooden panels or on linen shrouds that were used to decorate portrait mummies from Roman Egypt (conventionally called “mummy portraits”). They have been found in cemeteries in almost all parts of Egypt, from the coastal city of Marina el-Alamein to Aswan in Upper Egypt, and originate from the early first century AD to the mid third century with the possible exception of a small number of later shrouds. Their patrons were a wealthy local elite influenced by Hellenistic and Roman culture but deeply rooted in Egyptian religious belief.

    Retooling Medievalism for Early Modern Painting in Annibale Carracci’S Pietà with Saints in Parma

    religions Article Retooling Medievalism for Early Modern Painting in Annibale Carracci’s Pietà with Saints in Parma Livia Stoenescu Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843, USA; [email protected] Abstract: Annibale Carracci (1560–1609) drew on the Italian Renaissance tradition of the Man of Sorrows to advance the Christological message within the altarpiece context of his Pietà with Saints (1585). From its location at the high altar of the Capuchin church of St. Mary Magdalene in Parma, the work commemorates the life of Duke Alessandro Farnese (1586–1592), who is interred right in front of Annibale’s painted image. The narrative development of the Pietà with Saints transformed the late medieval Lamentation altarpiece focused on the dead Christ into a riveting manifestation of the beautiful and sleeping Christ worshipped by saints and angels in a nocturnal landscape. Thus eschewing historical context, the pictorial thrust of Annibale’s interpretation of the Man of Sorrows attached to the Pietà with Saints was to heighten Eucharistic meaning while allowing for sixteenth- century theological and poetic thought of Mary’s body as the tomb of Christ to cast discriminating devotional overtones on the resting place of the deceased Farnese Duke. Keywords: Devotional Art; Reform of Art; Early Modern and Italian Renaissance Art The Pietà with Saints (Figure1) for the high altar of the Capuchin church of Saint Mary Magdalene in Parma articulates the increasing attention brought to the aesthetic qualities Citation: Stoenescu, Livia. 2021. of the Man of Sorrows tradition and the value placed on creative imitation on the part Retooling Medievalism for Early of its maker, Annibale Carracci (1560–1609).
