Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract The thesis concerns the organisation and typology of building construction in Rome during the period 500 - 1000 AD. Part 1 - the organisation - contains three chapters on: ( 1) the finance and administration of building; ( 2 ) the materials of construction; and (3) the workforce (including here architects and architectural tracts). Part 2 - the typology - again contains three chapters on: ( 1) ecclesiastical architecture; ( 2 ) fortifications and aqueducts; and (3) domestic architecture. Using textual sources from the period (papal registers, property deeds, technical tracts and historical works), archaeological data from the Renaissance to the present day, and much new archaeological survey-work carried out in Rome and the surrounding country, I have outlined a new model for the development of architecture in the period. This emphasises the periods directly preceding and succeeding the age of the so-called "Carolingian Renaissance", pointing out new evidence for the architectural activity in these supposed dark ages.

  • The Appian Way 1 from Porta Capena to the Mausoleum of Caecilia Metella
    The Appian Way 1 from Porta Capena to the Mausoleum of Caecilia Metella (Miles I-III) - Inside the Walls By bike On foot This section of the Appian Way, called “the urban section” because it was part of the city in antiquity, starts from the central archaeological area, in front of the Circus Maximus and near the Baths of Caracalla. This is where the ancient Porta Capena (Capua Gate), the original departure point of the Appian Way and the Latin Way dating back to the Republican period, was located. The urban section ends at the Porta S. Sebastiano (St. Sebastian Gate), part of the walls built in the reign of the emperor Aurelian in the 3rd century AD. The monuments described along this section are currently not included in the Appia Antica Regional Park, which begins at Porta S. Sebastiano. Nevertheless, the monumental complex of the Appian Way represents a coherent context which must be described holistically beginning in the monumental center of Rome. 1) Porta Capena The Capua Gate was part of the earliest wall of Rome, called the “Servian Wall” because its construction was traditionally attributed to the sixth king of Rome, Servius Tullius, in the middle of the 6th century BC. The most recent studies confirm the existence of a wall circuit in cappellaccio tuff that can be associated chronologically with Servius Tullius, which was later restored and enlarged in the first half of the 4th century BC. The Appian and Latin Ways both started from this gate, which was located in front of the curved end of the Circus Maximus, and then separated in the area of the large square currently dedicated to Numa Pompilius.

As the centre of the Roman Empire, Rome's history is second to none, and everywhere around the 7 hills of Rome this becomes apparent. All roads lead to Rome; and just as well, because going there once is not enough. The Romans, the climate, the history and the gastronomy make for a lovely southern atmosphere to be remembered forever. The buildings of antique Rome, the Colosseum and Forum Romanum being the most well known, are unique, but later periods have also left behind some worthwhile attractions.

  • The Urbanization of Roman Municipia: Urban Development and Romanization in Umbrian Cities During the First Century BCE
    The Urbanization of Roman Municipia: Urban Development and Romanization in Umbrian Cities During the First Century BCE Sarah M. Lippai A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts University of Washington 2017 Committee: Sarah Levin-Richardson Stuart Lingo Kathryn Topper Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Art History © Copyright 2017 Sarah M. Lippai University of Washington Abstract The Urbanization of Roman Municipia: Urban Development and Romanization in Umbrian Cities During the First Century BCE Sarah M. Lippai Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Assistant Professor Sarah Levin-Richardson Classics This thesis examines the urban development of the Roman urbs during the first century BCE. The cities of southern Umbria provide a case study of a wider phenomenon occurring throughout Italy following the municipalization of the peninsula after the Social War. Using archaeology and contemporary cultural analysis, I examine the development of their fora, theaters, and amphitheaters through the century. These public spaces and buildings demonstrate the concept of recirculation that occurs when architectural design ideas flow between Italian cities and Rome, informing one another until refined into a standard form. The canonical form of these Roman buildings, while set in Rome, are indebted to the contributions made in these cities. The development of the Roman urbs and these urban features into a standardized form demonstrate a confluence of culture, innovation, and mimicry under Roman power and are a visual demonstration of the unification of Italy under Rome. Acknowledgements I would like to thank my committee, Stuart Lingo and Kathryn Topper, for their insight and encouragement and especially to my committee chair, Sarah Levin-Richardson, for her enthusiasm as I neared completion.

Painters such as Jean-Baptiste- Camille Corot and J. M. W. Turner, writers such as John Keats and Nathaniel Hawthorne, and a coterie of early photographers were among those who documented the city’s historical sights and monuments amidst what amounted to a massive project of urban renewal. City of the Soul: Rome and the Romantics, a new exhibition at the Morgan Library & Museum opening June 17, explores the broad sweep of Thomas Hartley Cromek (1809–1873), The Via Sistina and the artistic responses to this extraordinary period in Palazzo Zuccaro from the Trinità dei Mont,.
