Europa Romana. Volume dedicated to Professor Ioan Piso on his 60th Birthday THE CONSTRAINTS OF TRADITION DEPICTIONS OF HERCULES IN AUGUSTUS’ REIGN* By OLIVIER HEKSTER In the years immediately surrounding 27 BC, in Rome’s Campus Martius, the porticus Metelli and immediate surroundings were transformed into the porticus Octaviae.1 Though the new complex was named after Octavia, her brother paid for it.2 The decoration of the new porticus included a series of paintings on which the figure of Hercules was prominently present. The paintings included two of the best works of Artemon, one depicting the betrayal of Laomedon, the other ‘Heracles ascending to the sky with the consent of the gods’.3 A famous picture of Hesione by Antiphilos completed the series of Hercules-related paintings. Of that same artist, a painting was shown which depicted Alexander the Great, his father Phillip and Athena.4 At first sight, this all seems rather unsurprising. Naming a building after his sister fitted perfectly well within the Augustan building programme, in which members of the imperial family were regularly invoked. Artistically important decorations formed integral part of such new monuments. The incorporation of Herculean imagery in a building to Octavia might, however, have been noticeable.

  • Crossroads 360 Virtual Tour Script Edited
    Crossroads of Civilization Virtual Tour Script Note: Highlighted text signifies content that is only accessible on the 360 Tour. Welcome to Crossroads of Civilization. We divided this exhibit not by time or culture, but rather by traits that are shared by all civilizations. Watch this video to learn more about the making of Crossroads and its themes. Entrance Crossroads of Civilization: Ancient Worlds of the Near East and Mediterranean Crossroads of Civilization looks at the world's earliest major societies. Beginning more than 5,000 years ago in Egypt and the Near East, the exhibit traces their developments, offshoots, and spread over nearly four millennia. Interactive timelines and a large-scale digital map highlight the ebb and flow of ancient cultures, from Egypt and the earliest Mesopotamian kingdoms of the Akkadians, Babylonians, and Assyrians, to the vast Persian, Hellenistic, and finally Roman empires, the latter eventually encompassing the entire Mediterranean region. Against this backdrop of momentous historical change, items from the Museum's collections are showcased within broad themes. Popular elements from classic exhibits of former years, such as our Greek hoplite warrior and Egyptian temple model, stand alongside newly created life-size figures, including a recreation of King Tut in his chariot. The latest research on our two Egyptian mummies features forensic reconstructions of the individuals in life. This truly was a "crossroads" of cultural interaction, where Asian, African, and European peoples came together in a massive blending of ideas and technologies. Special thanks to the following for their expertise: ● Dr. Jonathan Elias - Historical and maps research, CT interpretation ● Dr.

  • Epilykos Kalos
    EPILYKOS KALOS (PLATES 63 and 64) N TWO EARLIERPAPERS, the writerattempted to identifymembers of prominent Athenian families in the late 6th century using a combinationof kalos names and os- traka.1 In the second of these studies, it was observed that members of the same family occurredin the work of a single vase painter,2whether praised as kalos or named as partici- pant in a scene of athletics or revelry.3The converse,i.e. that the same individual may be namedon vases by painterswho, on the basis of stylistic affinities,should belong to the same workshop,seems also to be true.4The presentpaper tries to demonstrateboth these proposi- tions by linking membersof another importantfamily, the Philaidai, to a circle of painters on whose vases they appear. The starting point is Epilykos, who is named as kalos 19 times in the years ca. 515- 505, 14 of them on vases by a single painter, Skythes.5Of the other 5, 2 are cups by the Pedieus Painter, whom Beazley considered might in fact be Skythes late in the latter's career;61 is a cup linked to Skythes by Bloesch,7 through the potter work, and through details of draughtsmanship,by Beazley;8 1 is a cup placed by Beazley near the Carpenter Painter;9and the last is a plastic aryballos with janiform women's heads, which gives its name to Beazley's Epilykos Class.10 The close relationshipof Epilykos and Skythesis especiallystriking in view of Skythes' small oeuvre, so that the 14 vases praising Epilykos accountfor fully half his total output.

Roman aqueducts , also based on the arch, were commonplace in the empire and essential transporters of water to large urban areas. The Romans also made frequent use of the semicircular arch, typically without resorting to mortar: relying instead on the precision of their stonework. The heads of the Marcus Aurelius figures are larger than normal, to show off their facial expressions. However it never lost its distinctive character, especially notable in such fields as architecture, portraiture, and historical relief. This led to a popular trend among the ancient Romans of including one or more such statues in the gardens and houses of wealthier patrons.

  • Attic Pottery of the Later Fifth Century from the Athenian Agora
    ATTIC POTTERY OF THE LATER FIFTH CENTURY FROM THE ATHENIAN AGORA (PLATES 73-103) THE 1937 campaign of the American excavations in the Athenian Agora included work on the Kolonos Agoraios. One of the most interesting results was the discovery and clearing of a well 1 whose contents proved to be of considerable value for the study of Attic pottery. For this reason it has seemed desirable to present the material as a whole.2 The well is situated on the southern slopes of the Kolonos. The diameter of the shaft at the mouth is 1.14 metres; it was cleared to the bottom, 17.80 metres below the surface. The modern water-level is 11 metres down. I quote the description from the excavator's notebook: The well-shaft, unusually wide and rather well cut widens towards the bottom to a diameter of ca. 1.50 m. There were great quantities of pot- tery, mostly coarse; this pottery seems to be all of the same period . and joins In addition to the normal abbreviations for periodicals the following are used: A.B.C.
