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.

  • The Ludovisi “Throne”, the Boston “Throne” and the Warren Cup: Retrospective Works Or Forgeries?
    SIRI SANDE The Ludovisi “throne”, the Boston “throne” and the Warren cup: Retrospective works or forgeries? Abstract The Ludovisi and Boston “thrones” are among the most discussed monuments in the history of art. It is here ar- gued that certain details on the “thrones” find their closest parallels among artefacts of the Augustan period such as decorative reliefs and candelabra, Arretine ware and silver work: notably the so-called Warren cup in the Brit- ish Museum. The “thrones” cannot therefore be dated to the early Classical period. But does that mean that they are Roman retrospective works? Both the “thrones” and lately also the Warren cup have been regarded by some scholars as forgeries. The author of this article strongly suspects that all three were created in the late 19th century. There are certain enigmas in Ancient art which continue to worry the collective subcon- sciousness of art historians. One is the authenticity of the so-called Boston “throne” (FIGS. 3- 4 a-b) , and, to a lesser degree, the Ludovisi “throne” (FIGS. 1-2 a-b). It is like exploring a loose tooth with the tip of the tongue. You do it now and then, to feel that it is dangling, but still in place. The debate over the so-called “thrones” has been going on since they appeared on the Roman art market at the end of the nineteenth century. In 1892, a few years after its discovery in 1887, E. Petersen published the Ludovisi “throne” as an Early Classical work (around 470 BC).1 In a long and well-researched article from 1911, F.

    SEX IN THE ANCIENT WORLD FROM A TO Z THE ANCIENT WORLD FROM A TO Z What were the ancient fashions in men’s shoes? How did you cook a tunny or spice a dormouse? What was the daily wage of a Syracusan builder? What did Romans use for contraception? This new Routledge series will provide the answers to such questions, which are often overlooked by standard reference works. Volumes will cover key topics in ancient culture and society—from food, sex and sport to money, dress and domestic life. Each author will be an acknowledged expert in their field, offering readers vivid, immediate and academically sound insights into the fascinating details of daily life in antiquity. The main focus will be on Greece and Rome, though some volumes will also encompass Egypt and the Near East. The series will be suitable both as background for those studying classical subjects and as enjoyable reading for anyone with an interest in the ancient world.

    1 From Clay to Silver During the 5th Century The art of homoerotic Ancient Greek sympotic ware William A. Percy III Thursday, October 16, 2014 11:46 AM 2 Table of Contents Preface 3 Chapter 1: Introduction 5 Chapter 2: Modern interest in Greek vases: an overview 13 Chapter 3: The petulant squabbles of Oxford dons 23 Chapter 4: Gold and silver in myth and legend 27 Chapter 5: Gold and silver: the Persians and the Greek tyrants 36 Chapter 6: From Miltiades to Alcibiades to the Roman Conquest 45 Chapter 7: Lost Greek treasures, recovered Roman ones 57 Chapter 8: Boardman vs. Vickers 66 Chapter 9: The Warren Cup: authenticity 87 Chapter 10: The Warren Cup: significance 101 Ancient Authors Cited 124 Thursday, October 16, 2014 11:46 AM 3 Secondary Sources Cited 126 Preface The prevailing opinion has been that the Greeks shifted from pottery to silver only after Alexander conquered the Persian Empire and brought its massive treasures into Europe. Herein I prove that the shift occurred in fact early on during the Classic Age (484-338 BC) rather than towards the beginning of the Hellenistic (period) (323-31 BC). Because so few examples survive, I do so by deduction and by citing written evidence. More sources for the classical age cite silver vases than (word?) statues of which none survive, though scholars have accepted their existence. Conquered by the Romans, the Greeks continued their own language and culture but inspired the Romans to become more refined- to imitate many Greek styles including elegant tableware. The Warren Cup is the most spectacular find for the Roman Imperial age, although it may have been made for Greek or Hellenized Jews in Palestine.
