  • Hadrian and the Greek East
    HADRIAN AND THE GREEK EAST: IMPERIAL POLICY AND COMMUNICATION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Demetrios Kritsotakis, B.A, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Fritz Graf, Adviser Professor Tom Hawkins ____________________________ Professor Anthony Kaldellis Adviser Greek and Latin Graduate Program Copyright by Demetrios Kritsotakis 2008 ABSTRACT The Roman Emperor Hadrian pursued a policy of unification of the vast Empire. After his accession, he abandoned the expansionist policy of his predecessor Trajan and focused on securing the frontiers of the empire and on maintaining its stability. Of the utmost importance was the further integration and participation in his program of the peoples of the Greek East, especially of the Greek mainland and Asia Minor. Hadrian now invited them to become active members of the empire. By his lengthy travels and benefactions to the people of the region and by the creation of the Panhellenion, Hadrian attempted to create a second center of the Empire. Rome, in the West, was the first center; now a second one, in the East, would draw together the Greek people on both sides of the Aegean Sea. Thus he could accelerate the unification of the empire by focusing on its two most important elements, Romans and Greeks. Hadrian channeled his intentions in a number of ways, including the use of specific iconographical types on the coinage of his reign and religious language and themes in his interactions with the Greeks. In both cases it becomes evident that the Greeks not only understood his messages, but they also reacted in a positive way.

  • The Platform of the Temple of Venus and Rome
    Proceedings of the Third International Congress on Construction History, Cottbus, May 2009 The Platform of the Temple of Venus and Rome C. González-Longo Architect, Edinburgh, UK D. Theodossopoulos University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK ABSTRACT: The Temple of Venus and Rome at the Roman Forum was allegedly designed by the emperor Ha- drian himself and was inaugurated in 135 AD. Its construction upon the Velia hill and precedent structures re- quired an exceptional design and execution, including the provision of a massive 167x 100 m artificial plat- form. Distinct historical developments on the site like the Vestibule of Nero’s Golden House and the later construction of the medieval church and monastery of Santa Maria Nova as well as the Mussolinian operations of Sventramenti in the first half of the 20th century, have influenced the construction and altered the presenta- tion of the platform. This paper intends to discuss the strategy, design, construction and current condition of this example of a lesser-known field of Roman structural technology. Foundations and platforms of this kind can offer invaluable information on the function of a temple, its history and structural performance, but theirs study is often neglected. INTRODUCTION The exceptional complex that includes the Temple of Venus and Rome and the Monastery of Santa Francesca Romana has not been studied previously as a single site and the various stages and interventions in its history have always been viewed with partial reference to specific areas. The authors have tried in the recent years to link such stages to a more global architectural understanding and conservation approach to the entire site.

  • The Capital of Roman Province of Asia-Ephesus
    THE CAPITAL OF ROMAN PROVINCE OF ASIA-EPHESUS Location Ephesus is located between two hills with the silted ancient port and about three kms from Selcuk town. It belongs to greater Izmir province and 10 kms to Kusadasi, 65 kms to İzmir. The ancient town used to be the home of historical Greek and Roman ages so it grabs millions of visitors each year. There is a good connection to Ephesus from all over Turkey and it is only 40 minutes drive from the third biggest airport called as İzmir to Ephesus. Name The name comes from Hittite Word “ Apasas” due to Greek could not do the correct pronouncation so they converted it as Ephesus. It means “the bee “ so Ephesus was the city of the bee. The bee was minted on the coins dated 11th BC in Hittite period. History Ephesus has been known as the home of Greek Artemis, Roman Diana, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, used to be center of the paganism about one thousand years, later it became the first of the seven churches of Revelation. First Pagan then Christian pilgrims made Ephesus as the center of their faiths like Vatican today so it was visited by millions each year. On the other hand, The port of Ephesus was the central of sea trade in antiquity between Asia, Macedonia(Europe) and North Africa. The first settlement in the area was done by Amazons according to some legends but the findings shows us Ephesus was first founded by Hittites about 13 th C BC and it fell into Greek hand after the fall of Troy in 11 th BC by Greek commender Androklos .

  • Waters of Rome Journal
    THE CLOACA MAXIMA AND THE MONUMENTAL MANIPULATION OF WATER IN ARCHAIC ROME John N. N. Hopkins [email protected] Introduction cholars generally conceive of the Cloaca Maxima as a Smassive drain flushing away Rome’s unappealing waste. This is primarily due to the historiographic popularity of Imperial Rome, when the Cloaca was, in fact, a sewer. By the time Frontinus assumed the post of curator aquarum in 97 AD, its concrete and masonry tunnels channeled Rome’s refuse beneath the Fora and around the hills, and stood among extensive drainage networks in the valleys of the Circus Maximus, Campus Martius and Transtiberim (Figs. 1 & 2).1 Built on seven hundred years of evolving hydraulic engineering and architecture, it was acclaimed in the first century as a work “for which the new magnificence of these days has scarcely been able to produce a match.”2 The Cloaca did not, however, always serve the city in this manner. Archaeological and literary evidence suggests that in the sixth century BC, the last three kings of Rome produced a structure that was entirely different from the one historians knew under the Empire. What is more, evidence suggests these kings built it to serve entirely different purposes. The Cloaca began as a monumental, open-air, fresh-water canal (Figs. 3 & 4). This canal guided streams through the newly leveled, paved, open space that would become the Forum Romanum. In this article, I reassess this earliest phase of the Cloaca Maxima when it served a vital role in changing the physical space of central Rome and came to signify the power of the Romans who built it.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School Department of Art History THE HADRIANIC TONDI ON THE ARCH OF CONSTANTINE: NEW PERSPECTIVES ON THE EASTERN PARADIGMS A Dissertation in Art History by Gerald A. Hess © 2011 Gerald A. Hess Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2011 The dissertation of Gerald A. Hess was reviewed and approved* by the following: Elizabeth Walters Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Associate Professor of Art History Brian Curran Professor of Art History Craig Zabel Associate Professor of Art History Head, Department of Art History Donald Redford Professor of Classics and Mediterranean Studies *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. ii Abstract This dissertation is a study of the impact of eastern traditions, culture, and individuals on the Hadrianic tondi. The tondi were originally commissioned by the emperor Hadrian in the second century for an unknown monument and then later reused by Constantine for his fourth century arch in Rome. Many scholars have investigated the tondi, which among the eight roundels depict scenes of hunting and sacrifice. However, previous Hadrianic scholarship has been limited to addressing the tondi in a general way without fully considering their patron‘s personal history and deep seated motivations for wanting a monument with form and content akin to the prerogatives of eastern rulers and oriental princes. In this dissertation, I have studied Hadrian as an individual imbued with wisdom about the cultural and ruling traditions of both Rome and the many nations that made up the vast Roman realm of the second century.

  • The Campus Martius
    For I shall sing of Battels, Blood and Rage, Which Princes and their People did engage, And haughty Souls, that mov’d with mutual Hate, In fighting Fields pursued and found their Fate – Virgil, The Aeneid, 19 BC. Book VII, verse 40. Translated by John Dryden (1697). The empire was forged on the Field of Mars, where Roman soldiers drilled and armies assembled under the auspices of the god of war. Here, outside the pomerium, men could bear weapons, the Senate could meet generals in arms and foreign envoys, foreign gods could be worshipped. With the advent of the Pax Romana, the Campus Martius was singularly marked by two friends, Agrippa, the great general, and Octavian, the first emperor, who built monuments there to celebrate not war but peace. By the end of the first century AD, the central Campus Martius was filled to bursting with public buildings, houses, baths, theatres, temples, and monuments. Five centuries later, when mighty Rome was a thing of the past and the aqueducts were cut or in disrepair, people concentrated in this area close to the Tiber, their only water supply, making their houses, shops, and churches in the magnificent remains. Those ancient walls form the modern fabric of this part of Rome, which then like today, was busy, noisy, crowded, confusing, and fascinating. 1 Below: The Roman Army on the march. Soldiers and standard-bearers (wearing animal heads, the emblems of their cohort) on the Column of Marcus Aurelius. Before the 1st century AD, this floodplain was a sort of commons belonging to everyone, used for pasture, as drilling grounds, and for assembling armies.

  • The Vaulting Structure of the Temple of Venus and Rome At
    Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions - Modena, Lourenço & Roca (eds) © 2005 Taylor & Francis Group, London, ISBN 04 1536 379 9 The vaulting structure ofthe Temple ofVenus and Rome at the RomanForum C. González-Longo & D. Theodossopoulos Inslitule ofArchileclure, School o/lhe Built Environment, University o/Nottingham, Nottingham, UK ABSTRACT: The Temple ofVenus and Rome at the edge ofthe Roman Forum displays the unique pattem of two back-to-back cellae. The Hellenistic proportions of the building belong to the eclectic architecture of the emperor Hadrian, who allegedly designed the temple. Significant restoration works were carried out later in 307 A.D. by Maxentius and the prevailing opinion associates the vaulted roof with this intervenlion. An attempt to clarify the origin ofthese vaults and to discuss design issues and solutions associated with these systems through a stylistic, constructional and structural analysis is carried ou!. The major construction phases of the temple will be identified and the main characteristics of each period will be studied, in terms of aesthetic preferences and construction techniques. Structural assessment of the cell ae will be performed and an attempt is made to interpret the degradation and collapse ofthe building. lNTRODUCTION 11111111111111111111111111111 I.
