Nothing changes more rapidly than human customs. Apart from the recent scientific discoveries which have turned the world of today upside down steam, electricity, rail- ways, motorcars, and aeroplanes it is clear that even in times of greater sta- bility and less highly developed tech- nique the elementary forms of everyday life are subject to unceasing change. Coffee, tobacco, and champagne were not introduced into Eu- rope until the seventeenth century; potatoes were first eaten toward the end of the eighteenth, the banana became a feature of our dessert at the beginning of the twentieth. The law of change was not less operative in antiquity. It was a commonplace of Roman rhetoric to contrast the rude simplicity of the republic with the luxury and refinement of impe- rial times and to recall that Curius Dentatus "gathered his scanty veg- l etables and himself cooked them on his little stove/' There is no com- mon measure, whether of food or house or furniture, between ages so different. Since a choice of period must necessarily be made, 1 shall deliberately confine myself to studying the generation which was born about the middle of the first century A. D., toward the end of the reign of Claudius or the beginning of the reign of Nero, and lived on into the reigns of Trajan (98-117) and of Hadrian (117-138). This generation saw Roman power and prosperity at their height. It was witness of the last conquests of the Caesars: the conquest of Dacia ( 106) which poured into the empire the wealth of the Transylvanian mines; the conquest of Arabia (109) which, supplemented by the success of the Parthian campaign (115), brought flooding into Rome the riches of India and the Far East, guarded by the legionaries of Syria and their desert allies. In the material domain, this generation attained the highest plane xii DAILY LIFE IN ANCIENT ROME of ancient civilisation. By a fortunate coincidence all the more for- tunate in that Latin literature was soon to run so nearly dry this gen- eration is the one whose records combine to offer us the most complete picture of Roman life that we possess. The Forum of Trajan in Rome itself, the ruins of Herculaneum and Pompeii, the two prosperous resorts buried alive by the eruption of 79, supply an immense fund of archaeo- logical evidence. Recent excavations have also restored to us the ruins of Ostia which date in the main from the time when the emperor Hadrian created this great commercial city as the realisation of his town plan- ning. Literature adds her testimony. We possess a profusion of vivid and picturesque descriptions, precise and colorful, in the satirical romance of Petronius, the Silvae of Statius, the Epigrams of Martial, the Satires of Juvenal, and the Letters of Pliny the Younger. Fortune has indeed favoured the historian in this case, supplying him with both the obverse and the reverse of the medal. It is not enough to focus our study of the Roman's life on a fixed point in time. It would lack foundation and consistency if we did not also focus it in space in the country or in the town. Even today, when the facilities for communication, the diffusion of newspapers, the posses- sion of radios bring something of the pleasure, the thought, and the noise of the metropolis into the humblest country cottage, there remains a vast discrepancy between the monotony of peasant existence and the excitement of city life. A still greater gulf divided the peasant from the townsman of antiquity. So glaring was the inequality between them that, if we are to believe the learned historian Rostovtzeff, it pitted the one against the other in a fierce and silent struggle which pierced the dyke that protected the privileged classes from the barbarian flood. The peasant pariah abetted the invading barbarian. The townsman, in fact, enjoyed all the goods and resources of the earth; the peasant knew nothing but unending labour without profit, and lacked for ever the joys which warmed the heart of even the most wretched in the cities: the liveliness of the palaestra, the warmth of the baths, the gaiety of public banquets, the rich man's doles, the magnifi- cence of public spectacles. We must renounce the attempt to blend two such dissimilar pictures into one, and must make a choice between them.

  • An Encoded Saturnian Theme Peter Mark Adams

    An Encoded Saturnian Theme Peter Mark Adams

    The Sola-Busca Tarocchi An Encoded Saturnian Theme Peter Mark Adams The Sola-Busca is a Ferrarese tarocchi produced at the court of the House of Este, Dukes of Ferrara, Reggio and Modena, and dating from 1491. It is the earliest complete deck of tarocchi cards in existence and its fine detail is attributable to its production from copper engraving plates. The Sola-Busca disguises its true import beneath historical narratives derived from Plutarch, Livy and the Alexander Romance literary tradition; but this carefully prepared ‘surface’ has been rendered unstable and polysemous by the systematic use of ambiguity in the spelling of names and the presence of symbolic counters that point towards deeper, occulted levels of meaning. Trump XVIII Lentulo depicts a figure placing a large, freestanding liturgical candle upon an altar with his left hand, whilst his right hand grips his beard. The figure is richly dressed in a long, single-piece gown whose opulence stands out amongst the austere military-style dress of the majority of trumps. The strange arrangement of the head covering is suggestive of an ancient cap known as a pilleus rather than hair. What does this attention grabbing display portend? In Book XIV of Martial’s Epigrams, On the Presents Made to Guests at Feasts, we learn, “Now, while the knights and the lordly senators delight in the festive robe (Latin: synthesibus), and the cap of liberty (Latin: pillea) is assumed by our Jupiter; and while the slave, as he rattles the dice-box, has no fear of the Aedile … what can I do better, Saturn, on these days of pleasure, which your son himself has consecrated to you”.

Palmer A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: Alain M. Gowing, Chair Catherine M. Connors Stephen E. Hinds Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Classics University of Washington Abstract Inscribing Augustan Personae: Epigraphic Conventions and Memory Across Genres Morgan E. Palmer Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Alain M. Gowing Department of Classics This dissertation investigates the ways in which authors writing during the reign of the emperor Augustus, a period of increased epigraphic activity, appropriate epigraphic conventions in their work. Livy, Ovid, and Virgil furnish case studies to explore the ways in which Augustan authors create epigraphic intertexts that call upon readers to remember and synthesize literary and epigraphic sources. Investigation of Livy is foundational to my discussion of Ovid and Virgil because his selective treatment of epigraphic sources illustrates how inscriptions can be both authoritative and subjective. Augustan poets exploit the authority and subjectivity of inscriptions in accordance with their own authorial purposes and the genres in which they write, appropriating epigraphic conventions in ways that are both traditional and innovative. This blending of tradition and innovation parallels how the emperor himself used inscriptions to shape and control

    FLAVIA DOMITILLA AS DELICATA: a NEW INTERPRETATION of SUETONIUS, VESP. 3* in This Way Suetonius Informs Us About Flavia Domitill

    FLAVIA DOMITILLA AS DELICATA: A NEW INTERPRETATION OF SUETONIUS, VESP. 3* Abstract: This paper proposes a new interpretation of the passage in Suetonius’ Life of Vespasian (Suet., Vesp. 3). The ancient historian, talking about Flavia Domitilla, the wife of Vespasian and the mother of Titus and Domitian, defines her as delicata of Statilius Capella, the Roman knight from Sabratha. Until now, scholars have thought that the relationship between Flavia Domitilla and Statilius Capella was sexual in nature, on the basis of the literary sources concerning the adjective delicatus/a and its meaning. Thanks to the epigraphic evidence about the delicati, not yet analyzed in reference to this pas- sage, it is possible to reach to new conclusions about Flavia Domitil- la’s status. The paper reviews her relationship with Statilius Capella, the sentence of the recuperatores who declared her ingenua and consequently Roman citizen (and not vice versa), and the role played in this trial by Flavius Liberalis. Inter haec Flaviam Domitillam duxit uxorem, Statili Capellae equitis R(omani) Sabratensis ex Africa delicatam olim Latinaeque condi- cionis, sed mox ingenuam et civem Rom(anam) reciperatorio iudicio pronuntiatam, patre asserente Flavio Liberale Ferenti genito nec quic- quam amplius quam quaestorio scriba. Ex hac liberos tulit Titum et Domitianum et Domitillam. Uxori ac filiae superstes fuit atque utramque adhuc privatus1. In this way Suetonius informs us about Flavia Domitilla2, the wife of Vespasian and the mother of Titus and Domitian. This evidence of Suetonius is of particular importance because it constitutes the only information about her. In fact, apart from the Epitome de Caesaribus, where we find a brief reference to Flavia Domitilla, Suetonius represents the only known source about her life.

    Luxury at Rome: Avaritia, Aemulatio and the Mos Maiorum

    Roderick Thirkell White Ex Historia 117 Roderick Thirkell White1 University College London Luxury at Rome: avaritia, aemulatio and the mos maiorum This article sets out to put into perspective the ancient Roman discourse about luxury, which our extant literary sources almost universally condemn, on moral grounds. In it, I aim to define the scope and character of Roman luxury, and how it became an issue for the Romans, from the end of the third century BC to the beginning of the second century AD. With the aid of modern thinking about luxury and the diffusion of ideas in a society, I shed light on the reasons for the upsurge in luxurious living and, in particular, on how luxuries spread through the elite population, an issue that has been largely neglected by modern scholars. Books and articles on Roman luxury have been primarily concerned with examining the discourse of contemporary writers who criticised luxury;2 analysing the nature of Roman luxury;3 analysing the nature and impact of sumptuary legislation;4 or comparing the luxury of the Romans with that of other cultures.5 The only significant article dealing specifically with the diffusion of luxury is a provocative piece by Andrew Wallace-Hadrill, the focus of which is, however, limited and specific.6 For a series of moralising Roman authors, the second century BC saw the beginning of the corruption of the traditional stern moral fibre, as they saw it, of the Republic by an influx of 1 Roderick Thirkell White’s academic interests are concerned with aspects of the economy of the ancient world, primarily the late Roman Republic and Early Empire, with a focus on consumer and material culture.

    Clst 450 Citation and Style Guide

    STYLE GUIDE: CLST 450 Winter 2017 CLST 450 CITATION AND STYLE GUIDE The Writing Proficiency (WP) credit designation carries certain requirements and expectations, among which one finds the following statement: In writing proficiency courses, students learn the writing style and conventions of their disciplines, as well as the techniques for integrating evidence into scholarly papers. Every academic discipline has its own writing style and conventions. English, for example, tends to follow the MLA (Modern Language Association) style, while History follows the Chicago or Turabian style, and Biology follows the CBE Manual. Different classical journals and associations use different styles: the main American association, the Society for Classical Studies (formerly the American Philological Association), publishes the Transactions of the American Philological Association (TAPA) and with it the TAPA Style Guide. This course will follow the style and conventions of the TAPA style; this document outlines important points of that style and gives a few other pointers on good academic prose. Two appendices give you a wealth of abbreviations that you may wish to use. Primary and Secondary Sources Primary sources are ancient texts (speeches, histories, dialogues, plays, verses, novels, inscriptions, etc.). They were written in Latin and ancient Greek by ancient Romans and ancient Greeks who lived in antiquity and have been dead for a long time now. Secondary sources are modern scholarly works (articles, chapters, and monographs) written about ancient texts and the ancient world. Secondary sources interpret primary sources. You want to use recently written secondary sources so that you take the current state of scholarship into consideration: a paper full of references to books written in the seventies will come across as stale and out of touch with modern academic thought.

    ARTH 420/599: the Age of Augustus: Visualizing the Pax Augusta

    ARTH 420/599: The Age of Augustus: Visualizing the Pax Augusta Professor Christopher Gregg Spring 2019 Robinson B 373A [email protected] Office Hours: Tuesdays 1-2 pm or by appointment Course Description This seminar will explore the artistic and cultural output of a dynamic period in ancient Roman civilization: the reign of the first emperor, Augustus, and the transition from Republic to Empire. We will examine major works of sculpture, architecture and “luxury” arts produced from approximately 43 BCE to the early first century CE. Among our goals will be to appreciate the complex relationship that existed between Augustan art—literary as well as visual—and Augustan political ideology. Readings for the seminar will focus on major scholarly works that integrate the surviving material culture with the historical context, and we will look at ancient texts in translation in order to understand better the propagandistic monuments that Augustus constructed in Rome and elsewhere on scales varying from the modest to the mammoth. By re- contextualizing the primary pieces of Augustan art and architecture in their historical, cultural and artistic setting, the class will demonstrate the importance of the Augustan period not only to ancient Roman art but to Western concepts of political art. This seminar is a GMU Writing Intensive Course and is considered a capstone for art history majors and minors. Note: Since this is a seminar and meets only once a week, your attendance and your participation are required at every session. Absences will only be excused with proper documentation: without documentation, absences will count against your final grade in the course and may prevent you from getting credit for delayed assignments.

    Italy and the Mediterranean of Ancient Rome in the Twentieth and Twenty-First Centuries

    fascism 8 (2019) 250-274 brill.com/fasc Mare Nostrum: Italy and the Mediterranean of Ancient Rome in the Twentieth and Twenty-First Centuries Samuel Agbamu King’s College London [email protected] Abstract The Mediterranean has occupied a prominent role in the political imaginary of Italian Fascisms, past and present. In the 1920s to the early 1940s, Fascist Italy’s imperial proj- ect used the concept of mare nostrum – our sea – taken from the vocabulary of Roman antiquity, to anchor modern Italian imperialism within the authority of the classical past. In the postwar years, following decolonization in Africa, mare nostrum receded from popular discourse, previous claims to the Mediterranean suppressed. However, in the context of the so-called refugee crisis, Italy resurrected mare nostrum, in the nam- ing of its military-humanitarian operation, a move rejected by the contemporary Ital- ian far right. This article argues that configurations of the Mediterranean of ancient Rome have served to yoke Africa to Italy when articulated into a Fascist, imperial ideol- ogy, as well as to reify the boundaries between Europe and the non-European other, in the xenophobic discourse of the contemporary Italian far right.

Tuggle ii ABSTRACT Religion in the Late Republic was fused to politics. This study considers the relationship between violence, religion, and politics in the Late Republic and Augustan Age. It contends that Roman religion could encourage or discourage violence based upon the circumstances. The strain of Roman expansion on its political and religious institutions contributed to the civil discord that characterized the Late Republic, which created circumstances that were flexible enough for perspectives on each side to see the violence as justified.
