His own daughter and granddaughter, both named Julia, were notorious for their scandalous affairs. To make matters worse, one of the lovers of his daughter Julia was a son of the Emperor’s old enemy, Mark Antony, whose defeat and suicide in 31 BCE had brought the Republic crashing down. Whatever his personal feel- ings, duty compelled Augustus to banish Julia to a remote Mediterranean island. A few years later he had to nd another distant location for the banishment of his granddaughter. He hushed up the details of both scandals, but there was much gossip. Augustus himself created a personal image of ancient Roman frugality and morality, although on his death-bed he gave a clue as to his own more com- plex view of his life.

  • 2014 AP ART HISTORY Description AP Art
    2014 AP ART HISTORY Description AP Art History teachers will be engaged in an exploration of various methods used to meet the goals of the new AP Art History curriculum and prepare students for success on the reformatted AP Art History Exam. “Nuts and Bolts” topics that will be discussed include: an examination of the AP Art History course description, developing a syllabus, and resources, and pacing. Strategies will be shared for student recruitment and building support with parents and the school community. A close examination of the AP exam will include how it is structured, grading of the exam, and what students are expected to know and do on it. Instructional strategies for helping students develop the writing and higher order thinking skills necessary for success in an AP Art History class will be shared with participants. Topics such as the teaching of context and form, document based questions, resources, review strategies, and a comparative approach to cultural topics will also be explored during the week. Jaime Rollans has been teaching AP Art History for twenty-eight of her thirty-eight years of teaching. Since 1994, she has been teaching at W. D. Mills University Studies High School in Little Rock, Arkansas where she teaches a history of philosophy in addition to AP Art History. Jaime taught AP Art History, world history, AP European History and served as the Talented and Gifted Facilitator for North Pulaski High School in Jacksonville, Arkansas, from 1976 through 1994. Jaime is a consultant to the College Board in AP Art History and social studies.

Since this work is more a research report than an academic treatise, such aspirations would actually be neither required nor useful. However, should we have violated any rights of primogeniture, this did not happen intentionally and we hereby apologize beforehand, and promise to mend our ways. We also would like to express our gratitude in advance for any references, tips, or clues sent to us. For abbreviations of collected editions and lexicons, journals and serials, monographs and terms see Ziegler & Sontheimer (1979). For the Greek authors’ names and titles see Liddell & Scott (1996) and for the Latin ones Glare (1996). The Gospel texts translated into English were quoted on the basis of the King James Ver- sion of 1611. In some cases the Revised Standard Version of 1881 and the New American Bible of 1970 were relied on. These three translations often differ from each other considerably. Although they all, even the Catholic one, make use of the original languages rather than the Vulgate as a basis for translation, they have the tendency to read the text of the New Testament according to the current interpreta- tion and to amalgamate it with the Old, so that in critical points the newer transla- tions are overtly conflicting with the Greek original text, arbitrarily interpreting e. g. thalassa, properly ‘sea’, as lake, Christos, ‘Christ’, as Messiah, adapting the orthog- raphy of the proper names in the New Testament to those in the Old, e.g.

  • Wilkinson 1 Philip Wilkinson Dr. Berghof HCS17 18 June 2017 The
    Wilkinson 1 Philip Wilkinson Dr. Berghof HCS17 18 June 2017 The Chiasmus of the Augustus of Prima Porta and its Propagandistic Utility Ignoring the frequently sidelined chiasmus of the Augustus of Prima Porta risks overlooking the propagandistic utility of the statue that directs thought and discourse by conveying Rome’s progressively expanding military and political power and preservation of past administrative and civil systems. Most importantly, however, the statue accomplishes this with ambiguous connotations so as to understate the impact of the transformation of Roman government into an autocratic and centralized imperial entity. Scholars such as Arias give passing credence to the chiastic shape of the statue (Arias 277) without noticing how it directs the attention of the audience to progressive and conservative themes. Others, such as Pollini, manage to recognize the chiastic form, also referred to as contrapposto, and the manner in which it creates an aesthetic sense of authority and majesty while comparing the statue to the Greek Doryphoros (Pollini 270). Nonetheless, they fail to recognize the chiastic structure of the statue that moves beyond the expression of individualistic emotions and traits to consist of national narratives that critique and glorify the restructuring of Roman civilization’s allocation of martial and bureaucratic power. Moreover, this previously ignored chiasmus goes further by providing the statue’s audience the ability to understand the progressive and conservative themes from a variety of different angles, settings, and directions of viewing the chiasmus. Going even further, the chiasmus also draws attention in towards a metaphor for Rome’s geopolitical empire: the Wilkinson 2 statue’s cuirass, rich in symbolism and icons recounting the recovery of Rome’s sacred standards from Parthia.

  • Greek Styles and Greek Art in Augustan Rome: Issues of the Present Versus
    Originalveröffentlichung in: James I. Porter (Hrsg.), Classical Pasts. The Classical Traditions of Greece and Rome, Princeton; Oxford 2006, S. 237-269 Chapter 7 GREEK STYLES AND GREEK ART IN AUGUSTAN ROME: ISSUES OF THE PRESENT VERSUS RECORDS OF THE PAST Tonio Holscher Questions Roman art, as we have known since Winckelmann, was to a large extent shaped by “classical pasts,” by the inheritance of Greek art of various periods. In this, visual art corresponds to other domains of Roman culture, which in some respects can be described as a specific successor culture. Archaeological research has observed and evaluated this fact from controversial viewpoints.1 As long as the classical culture of Greece was valued as the highest measure of societal norms and artistic creation, no independent Roman strengths could be recognized in Roman art next to the Greek traditions; this was the basis for the sweeping negative judgment against “the art of the imitators.” Then, from around 1900, beginning with Franz Wickhoff and Alois Riegl,2 as the new archaeological arthistory developed a bold concept of cultural plurality and within this framework discovered and analyzed genuinely Roman forms and structures in visual art, the inherited Greek traditions were often judged to be a cultural burden and an interference in the development of an original Roman art. In neither case was the Greek inheritance seen as a productive element of Roman art. From the negative perspective, Roman art was of inferior impor­ tance because of its dependence on Greek models. On the positive side, it retained its originality and independence despite its occasional Greek overlay.
