    مجلة العمارة والفنون والعلوم اﻻنسانية المجلد الخامس - العدد الثاني والعشرون Notes on the decorations of central vault mosaic of Galla Placidia chapel in Ravenna, Italy Prof. Khaled Gharib Ali Ahmed Shaheen Professor and Head of Greco-Roman Archaeology Department - faculty of Archaeology, Cairo University. Assist. Prof. Dr. Mona Gabr Abd El-Naby Hussein Assistant Professor of art history - Greco-Roman Archaeology Department - faculty of Archaeology, Cairo University. Lect. Asmaa Mamdouh Abdel-Sattar Hanafi Mohammed El-Nadi Demonstrator– Greco-Roman department– faculty of Archaeology, Cairo University. [email protected] Abstract: The Galla Placidia Chapel in Ravenna, or globally known as the "Mausoleum" of Galla Placidia, has been renowned for its exceptional mosaic decorations covering the surfaces of its interior walls. The entrance of the chapel represents a dramatic transition from the humble exterior to the grandeur and majesty of the interior; the chapel has retained its entire interior decoration program, which is uncommon for buildings from that late antiquity. This cross- planned chapel still raises many issues and questions that are difficult to answer decisively, as a result of the lack of any contemporary documentation, so it remains purely hypothetical. The interpretation of central vault mosaics of the chapel is one of the most important issues that have occupied the scholars for a long time over the years, due to the ambiguity and distinctiveness of its elements with regard to the iconographic traditions of the time, as it is the predecessor of a decorative subject that will continue over time in the early Christian structures. The central vault mosaic consists of 567 golden stars arranged in concentric circles against a dark blue background, all orbiting a Latin gold cross represented at the vault apex, while floating, over the heap of the clouds, in the pendentives area, winged bust-figures represent the four living creatures around the celestial throne.

  • Joyce E. Salisbury, Rome's Christian Empress: Galla Placidia Rules At
    Joyce E. Salisbury, Rome’s Christian Empress: Galla Placidia Rules at the Twilight of the Empire. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2015. Pp. ix, 236. 12 illustrations, 7 maps. ISBN 9781421417004. $34.95. Writing the biography of any late antique individual is a challenging task given the either fragmentary, normative or highly rhetoricised nature of an overwhelming number of late antique sources. Writing the biography of a late antique woman – not frequently the object of late antique texts – may seem like an unsurmountable task. Galla Placidia, sister of Honorius, wife of Constantius III and mother of Valentinian III, is often considered an exception: her life is reasonably well documented in narrative sources of the fifth and sixth centuries, there are extant churches and church decorations that bear her name as a patron, and – remarkably – we possess documents she ostensibly wrote herself. As a result, there are already a number of biographies of Galla Placidia, from Stewart Oost’s masterly Galla Placidia Augusta: A Biographical Essay (1968) to Hagith Sivan’s Galla Placidia: The Last Roman Empress (2011), making the opening claim of Salisbury’s book that Galla Placidia is a ‘forgotten empress’ at least questionable (p. 1). Yet, while Galla Placidia may not be forgotten by academic scholarship, there is a good chance that she is less well known to general readers who will certainly enjoy Salisbury’s account of her life. After an introduction, in which Salisbury highlights her debt to Oost, but also her objective of portraying Galla Placidia as a ‘powerful empress in her own right’, and not just a ‘worthy child’ of Theodosius I, as Oost did, Salisbury (p.

  • The Roman Imperial Mausoleum in Late Antiquity Mark J
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-64441-0 - The Roman Imperial Mausoleum in Late Antiquity Mark J. Johnson Frontmatter More information The Roman Imperial M ausoleum in L ate Antiquity This book is the first comprehensive study of the mausolea of the later Roman emperors. Constructed between the years 244 and 450 and bridging the transition from paganism to Christianity within the empire, these important buildings shared a common design, that of the domed rotunda. Mark J. Johnson examines the sym- bolism and function of the mausolea, demonstrating for the first time that these monuments served as temples and shrines to the divinized emperors. Through an examination of literary sources and the archaeological record, he identifies which buildings were built as imperial tombs. Each building is examined to determine its place in the development of the type as well as for its unique features within the group. Recognizing the strong relationship between the mausolea built for pagan and Christian emperors, Johnson also analyzes their important differences. Mark J. Johnson is professor of art history at Brigham Young University. A scholar of ancient and Early Christian and Byzantine architecture, he has published in Dumbarton Oaks Papers, Gesta, Byzantion, and Journal of Early Christian Studies, among other journals. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-64441-0 - The Roman Imperial Mausoleum in Late Antiquity Mark J.

  • Santa Maria Maggiore St Mary Major
    Santa Maria Maggiore St Mary Major Piazza di Santa Maria Maggiore Santa Maria Maggiore is a 5th century papal basilica, located in the rione Monti. and is notable for its extensive Early Christian mosaics. The basilica is built on the summit of the Esquiline hill, which was once a commanding position. (1) (i)! History Ancient times The church is on the ancient Cispius, the main summit of the Esquiline Hill, which in ancient times was not a heavily built-up area. Near the site had been a Roman temple dedicated to a goddess of childbirth, Juno Lucina, much frequented by women in late pregnancy. Archaeological investigations under the basilica between 1966 and 1971 revealed a 1st century building, it seems to have belonged to a villa complex of the Neratii family. (1) (k) Liberian Basilica - Foundation legend - Civil war According to the Liber Pontificalis, this first church (the so-called Basilica Liberiana or "Liberian Basilica") was founded in the August 5, 358 by Pope Liberius. According to the legend that dates from 1288 A.D., the work was financed by a Roman patrician John, and his wife. They were childless, and so had decided to leave their fortune to the Blessed Virgin. She appeared to them in a dream, and to Pope Liberius, and told them to build a church in her honor on a site outlined by a miraculous snowfall, which occurred in August (traditionally in 358). Such a patch of snow was found on the summit of the Esquiline the following morning. The pope traced the outline of the church with his stick in the snow, and so the church was built.
