Eine Vergleichende Studie Zur Baupolitik Der Kaiser Traian Und Hadrian Die vorliegende Arbeit ist eine vergleichende Analyse der Herrschafts- und Baupolitik der Kaiser Traian und Hadrian. Da beide Herrscher einerseits für unterschiedliche politische und strategische Konzepte (z. B. Expansions- gegen Grenzsicherungspolitik) einstanden, andererseits jedoch durch Tina Wellhausen die Elemente des „humanitären Kaisertums“ und als Repräsentanten der Epoche der sogenannten Adoptivkaiser miteinander verbunden waren, wird hier kritisch untersucht, in welchen Bereichen der Regentschaften von Traian und Hadrian politische Kontinuität und in welchen Unterschiede zu Kriegsherr und Reisekaiser? konstatieren sind. Im Zentrum der Analyse steht vor allem die Baupolitik und damit einhergehend die kritische Untersuchung maßgeblicher Repräsentations- und Prestigebauten der beiden Kaiser in Rom. Der Leitfragestellung nach Intention und Selbstdarstellung durch monumentale Bauten Eine vergleichende Studie zur Baupolitik wird exemplarisch nachgegangen anhand der bedeutsamsten stadtrömischen Projekte beider der Kaiser Traian und Hadrian Kaiser: Forum Traiani mit Traianssäule, Mercati Traiani, Hadriansmausoleum, Tempel der Venus und der Roma, Pantheon sowie anderer Nutz- und Prestigebauten.

Mòran taing! Vorwort Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt eine modifizierte Fassung meiner gleichlautenden Dissertation dar, die ich im Frühjahr 2017 bei der Philosophischen Fakultät der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen eingereicht habe. Die thematische Grundla- ge bildete meine Magisterarbeit zum Thema der Reichspolitik des Kaisers Hadrian. Herr Prof. em. Dr. Gustav Adolf Lehmann bestärkte mich zu dem zeitli- chen Ausgriff in die Ära Kaiser Traians und der Methodik bzw. Herangehenswei- se einer vergleichenden Gegenüberstellung der Politik beider Kaiser mittels ihrer umfangreichen Bauprogramme. Daraus entstand eine Arbeit, welche primär das Fachgebiet der Alten Geschichte und das der Klassischen Archäologie als Ar- beitsbereiche umschloss. Für diese fachübergreifende Offenheit und die stetige Erinnerung an deren Notwendigkeit danke ich Herrn Prof. em. Dr. Gustav Adolf Lehmann. Zudem sind viele historische Exkurse innerhalb der vorliegenden Ar- beit seinem Zuspruch zu verdanken. Ebenso danke ich Frau Prof. Dr. Tanja Scheer, besonders für die Auseinandersetzung mit den Grundgedanken der Arbeit und dem Gutachten für das DAAD, als dessen Stipendiatin ich im Sommer 2012 ein Forschungssemester in Wien antreten durfte. Dort war es Prof. Dr. Fritz Mitthof, der mich als erster darauf hinwies, das klassische, vorgezeichnete Bild beider Kaiser in Frage zu stellen und ihr Handeln aus den Notwendigkeiten der jeweils vorliegenden historischen Situationen zu interpretieren. Ich danke zudem dem gesamten Institut für Alte Geschichte und 8 Tina Wellhausen: Kriegsherr und Reisekaiser? Altertumskunde, Papyrologie und Epigraphik für die freundliche Aufnahme und angenehmen Arbeitsbedingungen. Selbstverständlich gebührt mein Dank der Graduiertenschule für Geisteswis- senschaften Göttingen (GSGG), die mich ebenfalls mit einem Stipendium be- dachte und mich während der Dauer meines Dissertationsprojektes unterstützte. Besonderen Dank schulde ich Herrn PD Dr. Bernhard Woytek, der stets vorbe- haltlos, geduldig und ausführlich die numismatischen Fragen einer in diesem Fachbereich Unkundigen beantwortete und mich zudem mit Literatur und Bild- material versorgte. Viele diesbezügliche Ausführungen sind ihm zu verdanken. Für die Durchsicht und Korrekturlesung – sowohl meiner Magisterarbeit als auch des Dissertationsmanuskripts – möchte ich sehr herzlich Dr. Balbina Bäbler- Nesselrath danken, die mich auch in fachlichen Fragen stets unterstützte. Für die gleiche Arbeit danke ich Alexander Nuss, ebenso wie für die Unterstützung beim Layout. Auch den Mitarbeitern der SUB Göttingen für deren unschätzbare Hilfe bei der Literaturrecherche möchte ich an dieser Stelle meinen Dank aussprechen. Bei meinen Eltern und Freunden – besonders Esther Wegener für den fachli- chen Austausch inklusive vieler Liter Kaffee – möchte ich mich für ihre Unter- stützung und Verständnis während dieser Zeit bedanken.

Men at Work: Public Construction, Labor, and Society at Middle Republican Rome, 390-168 B.C. Abstract MEN AT WORK: PUBLIC CONSTRUCTION, LABOR, AND SOCIETY AT MID-REPUBLICAN ROME, 390-168 B.C. Seth G. Bernard C. Brian Rose, Supervisor of Dissertation This dissertation investigates how Rome organized and paid for the considerable amount of labor that went into the physical transformation of the Middle Republican city. In particular, it considers the role played by the cost of public construction in the socioeconomic history of the period, here defined as 390 to 168 B.C. During the Middle Republic period, Rome expanded its dominion first over Italy and then over the Mediterranean. As it developed into the political and economic capital of its world, the city itself went through transformative change, recognizable in a great deal of new public infrastructure.

You have in›uenced my diligence by your expressions of praise, both in your own name and in the names of your most learned friends (whom you also have in very large number). As a result, I feel that I am much more eager to pursue the investigation set forth on this subject; I would already have completed it had the abundance of waters from heaven not shown itself opposed to my own watery task. But you should not think that I have been completely idle: indeed, although I was not able to approach for a second time the sources of the Marcia and Claudia, at some distance from me, and not able therefore to follow up my ideas by surer rea- soning, not uselessly, perhaps, will I show you that I have been engaged in the more immediate neighborhood of that aqueduct introduced by Pope Sixtus and called the Acqua Felice from his own name before his ponti‹- 19 Aqueduct Hunting in the Seventeenth Century: Raffaele Fabretti's De aquis et aquaeductibus veteris Romae Harry B.

  • Map 43 Latium Vetus Compiled by L
    Map 43 Latium Vetus Compiled by L. Quilici and S. Quilici Gigli, 1995 Introduction The environs of Rome have undergone enormous changes from antiquity onwards, caused more by human intervention than by natural phenomena. Changes were already occurring in the archaic period as the region's population increased; these earliest phases of urbanization have been considerably illuminated by recent research. The changes intensified in Late Republican and imperial times, when urbanization reached a level unique for antiquity. Building activity connected with the city extended far enough into the countryside to link with construction centered upon surroundings towns. Thus the towns on the Tiburtine, Praenestine and Alban hills, as well as Ostia and Antium on the coast, were considered suburbs of the metropolis. After antiquity, by contrast, the region was almost deserted except in the hills. In the Late Middle Ages and subsequently, the spread of malaria and the extension of a pastoral economy reduced it to little more than a wilderness littered with the ruins remaining from an earlier era. By definition, there is some difficulty about showing settlements of different periods on a single map. We have marked those that can be located with either certainty or a fair degree of probability. At this scale no attempt is made to include every small settlement, let alone the whole complex infrastructure of the area. But we do mark cultural features notable for their size, state of preservation, or historical significance. These include large Late Republican and imperial villas, and the greatest monumental tombs. Inevitably, many estates, villas and tombs (some of them far from negligible) have had to be omitted.

  • Cura Aquarum and Curator Aquarum – the Head of Rome’S Water Supply Administration Adrian Vladu*
    RJHIS 5 (1) 2018 Cura aquarum and curator aquarum – the Head of Rome’s Water Supply Administration Adrian Vladu* Abstract: The importance of water supply to any human community goes without saying. At the end of the 1st century A.D., Rome developed an impressive water infrastructure consisting of nine aqueducts. This huge network of pipes that distributed water on almost the whole surface of the ancient city could not function without rigorous maintenance. This work fell under the responsibility of the aquarii, a team that formed the familia aquaria, a component part of cura aquarum, an office led by the curator aquarum. The description of the structure of the cura aquarum and of the tasks of the team that represented it, as well as the activity of curator aquarum, are the subject of this paper. Keywords: aqueducts, aquarii, Frontinus, familia aquaria, Roman administration Introduction Water supply was very important for any settlement in the Roman world, both from a practical point of view, by providing the water necessary * Adrian Vladu is a PhD student at the Faculty of History, University of Bucharest. His field of interest consists of classical archaeology. He is currently finishing his thesis on “Roman aqueducts: innovation, evolution and effects on the environment.

  • Le Quattro Fontane a Roma
    Le Quattro Fontane a Roma Tesi di master di Klaus Berghold Novembre 1995 Istituto di storia dell'arte - Prof. Dr. H. Röttgen - Universität Stuttgart 1 Introduzione La sublime posizione delle Quattro Fontane nei pressi del palazzo presidenziale italiano sul Quirinale dà un'idea dell'importanza che un tempo aveva il crocevia con le quattro fontane agli angoli. Ancora oggi, l'intersezione gioca un ruolo triste nella vita urbana di Roma. Nonostante la popolarità del luogo, tre domande principali riguardanti le Quattro Fontane non hanno ancora avuto risposta, o hanno ricevuto risposta incompleta. 1. come è nata l'intersezione e che significato ha avuto? 2. A che ora sono stati installati i quattro pozzi all'intersezione e sono stati successivamente modificati? 3. qual è il concetto iconografico generale del sistema pozzo? Le Quattro Fontane hanno avuto un ruolo non trascurabile nello sviluppo urbano di Roma. Mentre nell'antichità si trovavano al loro posto templi e case di ricchi cittadini, nel Rinascimento l'aspetto era segnato dalle loro rovine. A quel tempo i Romani avevano ricostruito la loro città vicino al Tevere sull'ex Marsfeld, dove c'era acqua a sufficienza. Questo paesaggio di rovine sul colle del Quirinale fu il luogo dell'incrocio delle Quattro Fontane sotto Sisto V intorno al 1590. Per questo motivo, la condizione del colle del Quirinale durante l'antichità romana è importante anche per la sua origine. Su questa base, lo sviluppo urbano fino ad oggi deve essere considerato in periodi di tempo diversi. Sotto i papi romani del Rinascimento e del Barocco era consuetudine registrare lo stato della città attraverso xilografie, incisioni in piombo o rame.

  • Volcanic Eruptions Damned the River with Deposits of Ash, Called Tuffs6
    volcanic eruptions damned the river with deposits of ash, called tuffs6, and changed its course. Both of the volcanic fields, the Sabatini to the northwest and the Alban hills to the southeast, played important roles in creating the terrain; plateaus pinching the Tiber floodplain and creating high ground for Rome (Heiken, Funiciello & De Rita, 2005:11). Despite the advantageous location, Rome is still susceptible to flooding due to the large drainage area of the Tiber. The climate from the end of the republic, throughout the years of the Empire, up to perhaps between 800 and 1200 A.D., was warmer and drier than later years. During the wet period between 1310 and 1320 A.D., and the so-called "little ice age" of 1500 to 1800 A.D., Rome was more susceptible to flooding (Lamb, 1995). This is perhaps a good thing, as repeated natural destruction of the city may have had a large influence on the superstitious Roman mind, providing "evidence" for the displeasure of the gods, and perhaps the resulting abandonment of the site. The Alban hills are approximately 50 kilometres in diameter with an elevation of nearly 1000 metres above sea level, and span the coastal plain between the Apennines and the sea. The summit is broad and dominated by a caldera, which has mostly been covered with material from later volcanoes. The slopes were once covered with oak, hazel and maple trees. Archaeolog- ical evidence from around the edges of the Nemi and Albano lakes indicate that the area has been occupied since the Bronze Age.
