    Originalveröffentlichung in: Felix Mundt (Hrsg.), Kommunikationsräume im kaiserzeitlichen Rom (Topoi 6), Berlin 2012 , S. 77-102 Ulrich Schmitzer Der Kaiser auf dem Forum. Das Forum Augustum als gebauter und geschriebener Raum öffentlicher Kommunikation Cibi uinique quocumque et tempore et loco appetentissimus, cognoscens quondam in Augusti foro ictusque nidore prandii, quod in proxima Martis aede Saliis apparabatur, deserto tribunali as- cendit ad sacerdotes unaque decubuit. Nach Speise und Wein hatte er zu jeder beliebigen Zeit und an jedem beliebigem Ort größ- tes Verlangen. Als er einmal auf dem Forum des Augustus eine gerichtliche Untersuchung anstellte und er vom Geruch einer Mahlzeit in die Nase wie vom Blitz getroffen wurde, die im nebenan gelegenen Tempel des Mars von den Saliern zubereitet wurde, verließ er den Richterstuhl, stieg hinauf zu den Priestern und legte sich zusammen mit ihnen zu Tisch. So liest man in der Claudius-Vita des Sueton (Claud. 33,1 = Lugli 190) - und man könnte (und kann mit Recht) meinen, die Begebenheit sei lediglich ein weiterer Beweis dafür, wie sehr Claudius selbst bei der Ausübung seiner kaiserlichen Amtsgeschäfte den elementaren Gelüsten unterworfen war.' Doch ist diese kurze Anekdote über das Biographische hinaus eine Art von Schlüs- seltext für das als topographischen Rahmen genannte Augustusforum.12 Denn es zeigt sich in nuct die Polyfunktionalität dieses von Augustus geschaffenen, präzise geplanten städtischen Raumes sowie die Spannung zwischen der Umsetzung der Ziele des Bau- herrn mit einem konsistenten ideologischen Konzept und der Praxis des täglichen Ge- brauchs. Die Claudius-Anekdote etwa ist ein Text, der nicht nur den Übergang vom Staatsmän- nischen zum Pedestren markiert, sondern auch die Beziehungen und Diskrepanzen zwi- schen den verschiedenen Ebenen der Nutzung des Forums deutlich werden lässt: der von Augustus herbeigeführten ideologischen Aufladung durch das Bau- und Bildprogramm und der davon repräsentativ gerahmten Funktion als Ort der Administration und Juris- diktion und der Aneignung durch die Römer.

    © Copyright 2016 Bridget Langley Written on Running Water: Ovidian Poetics in the Roman Waterscape Bridget Alice Langley A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2016 Reading Committee: Stephen Hinds, Chair Catherine Connors Alain Gowing Kathryn Topper Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Classics University of Washington Abstract Written on Running Water: Ovidian Poetics in the Roman Waterscape Bridget Alice Langley Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Stephen Hinds Classics Written on Running Water: Ovidian Poetics in the Roman Waterscape analyzes the symbolic value of water in Ovid’s poetry and considers how this was affected by the reorganization of the Roman water supply under Augustus. Agrippa and Augustus gained enormous political capital by restructuring and coordinating the city’s hydraulic infrastructure, and they altered the Roman landscape and the cultural significance of water in ways that would profoundly influence the building programmes and self-promotion of later emperors. I show that the abundance and beauty of the city’s new waterscape also affected Ovid’s use of images such as the fountain of inspiration and the locus amoenus, and came to represent the ideal aquatic environment. Taking a broad view of Ovid’s water poetics, I examine his depictions of Roman hydraulic infrastructure, his representations of water systems outside of the city, and the transformative waters of the Metamorphoses which challenge human attempts to control nature. Throughout his oeuvre, Ovid harnesses the power of water to figure his life and his poetic activity. I show that the basis for these images can be found in the newly transformed waterscape of the city of Rome.

  • The Book of Gods,Goddessess,Heroes and Other Characters of Mythology
    The book of Gods,Goddessess,Heroes and other Characters of Mythology In broad terms mythology is composed of traditional stories about gods, kings, and heroes. Myths often tell about the creation of the world (and about its destruction as well), about the creation of men, and, also, they provide lessons on a moral code by which to live. They were attempts to provide rationale to natural events and to human emotion. Mythological stories generally were passed on orally from generation to succeeding generation. Each tale, embellished and "corrupted" through the re-tellings, was probably a reasoned explanation of the facts as seen by unsophisticated and uneducated eyes. Most scholars today divide the subject into three categories: pure myth (primitive science and primitive religion), heroic saga (primitive history), and folklore (fictional stories). Mythological Characters WorldWide African Mythological Characters NOTE 1: Almost all African peoples believed in a supreme god who created the universe and all within it; this belief pre-dated the infiltration of the Christian or Islamic religions. This does not mean they believed in a monotheistic faith, for this supreme god had many under-gods. This deity was personalized in their individual mythologies, usually as a bi-sexual or non-sexual being, father and mother of all creatures and creator of every detail of earth. Abassi (Nigeria) Efik tribe's creator of the world. Abuk The first woman, according to the Dinka people of Africa. She is the patron goddess of women and gardens. Her emblem is a little snake. Adu Ogyinae (Ashanti) The first man. He was the leader of the seven men, some women, a dog and a leopard who were the first beings to come to the surface of the earth from holes in the ground.

Among many other things: Ruth Caston, for your kind advice and encouragement; Basil Dufallo, for always challenging me to exceed my own expectations; Peggy McCracken, for your inexhaustible enthusiasm; David Potter, for encouraging me to see the bigger picture beyond the poetry; and Ruth Scodel, for your enduring patience, even when I am at my most clueless. My cohort, Clara Bosak-Schroeder, Harriet Fertik, and Matthew Newman, for being the constant buoys that have kept me afloat these many years. I would be sunk without you. The UM Classical Studies community, whose warm and encouraging members have always offered me a soft place to land.

  • Tela Monumentalia: Ovid, Augustus, and the Roman Cityscape In
    TELA MONUMENTALIA: OVID, AUGUSTUS, AND THE ROMAN CITYSCAPE IN ARS AMATORIA I.67-176 by STEVEN ROBERT TURNER, JR. (Under the Direction of JAMES C. ANDERSON, JR.) ABSTRACT The Ars Amatoria stood in direct contradiction to Augustan moral legislation; Ovid discussed how to pursue the very sorts of liaisons that Augustus sought to ban with the lex Iulia de Adulteriis Coercendis and the lex Iulia de Maritandis Ordinibus of 18 B.C.E. In one section of the poem’s first book, Ovid more subtly employed various buildings associated with the Julian gens in providing the settings for the pursuit of such relationships. Thus, he used these symbols of Augustan authority as weapons, as it were, in an ad hominem attack against the princeps, suggesting each of them as a place where only the authority of love prevailed. This study will identify the Augustan structures Ovid named (and one he seemingly omitted) as loci amoris and will analyze the literary, political, and erotic reasons for their inclusion or apparent omission in his didactic poem.
