Acoustic Design of Ancient Buildings: the Odea of Pompeii and Posillipo
buildings Article Acoustic Design of Ancient Buildings: The Odea of Pompeii and Posillipo Giuseppe Ciaburro *, Gino Iannace , Ilaria Lombardi and Amelia Trematerra Department of Architecture and Industrial Design, Università degli Studi della Campania Luigi Vanvitelli, Borgo San Lorenzo, 81031 Aversa (Ce), Italy; [email protected] (G.I.); [email protected] (I.L.); [email protected] (A.T.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-0818122530 Received: 10 October 2020; Accepted: 25 November 2020; Published: 2 December 2020 Abstract: In this paper, a typology of a building erected in Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome is described: the Odeon. The Odeon is a covered building, but more modest in size than traditional open-air theatres without roofs. The Odeon could hold a few hundred spectators and therefore a smaller audience. The roof covering allowed the possibility of meetings even in adverse weather conditions. The etymology of the word of the Odeon (covered theatre) means the place of the ode, or of the songs. In this paper are discussed the architectonic and acoustic characteristics of the Odea of Pompeii and Posillipo. With commercial software (Odeon, Room Acoustics Software, Lyngby Denmark) we assess the acoustic characteristics of the Odea of Pompeii and Posillipo in the presence of an original rooﬁng system and show that these buildings were well suited for music, songs and speech. Keywords: ancient theatres; Odeon; cavea; orchestra; reverberation time; audience 1. Introduction The ancients had no scientiﬁc knowledge of the physics of sound; they relied on the observation and interpretation of natural phenomena in a mythological key and through oracles.

Stoa Poikile) Built About 475-450 BC
Arrangement Classical Greek cities – either result of continuous growth, or created at a single moment. Former – had streets –lines of communication, curving, bending- ease gradients. Later- had grid plans – straight streets crossing at right angles- ignoring obstacles became stairways where gradients were too steep. Despite these differences, certain features and principles of arrangement are common to both. Greek towns Towns had fixed boundaries. In 6th century BC some were surrounded by fortifications, later became more frequent., but even where there were no walls - demarcation of interior and exterior was clear. In most Greek towns availability of area- devoted to public use rather than private use. Agora- important gathering place – conveniently placed for communication and easily accessible from all directions. The Agora Of Athens • Agora originally meant "gathering place" but came to mean the market place and public square in an ancient Greek city. It was the political, civic, and commercial center of the city, near which were stoas, temples, administrative & public buildings, market places, monuments, shrines etc. • The agora in Athens had private housing, until it was reorganized by Peisistratus in the 6th century BC. • Although he may have lived on the agora himself, he removed the other houses, closed wells, and made it the centre of Athenian government. • He also built a drainage system, fountains and a temple to the Olympian gods. • Cimon later improved the agora by constructing new buildings and planting trees. • In the 5th century BC there were temples constructed to Hephaestus, Zeus and Apollo. • The Areopagus and the assembly of all citizens met elsewhere in Athens, but some public meetings, such as those to discuss ostracism, were held in the agora.

Introduction My name is Ciaran Lavelle; I am a 28 year old from Northern Ireland. I am a recent graduate of the ‘Conservation of Objects for Museums and Archaeology’ Bachelor of Science degree program at Cardiff University in Wales. My goal for my career is find employment in the field of object conservation in a museum or in the private sector and become an accredited conservator. I completed the three year conservation degree in Cardiff University in two years as a direct entry student, which allowed me to combine first and second year. During my first year at Cardiff I learned about the American School of Classical Studies at Athens conservation internship program through a fellow Greek student. So during my final year I decided I should apply for the internship so as to gain post graduate experience in a world renowned archaeological excavation and was successful with my application for the nine week program. I heard about the Zibby Garnett Travelling Fellowship through a past recipient of the fund whom I worked with and became friends with while working in the Transport Museum in Glasgow.

The Athenian Prytaneion Discovered? 35
HESPERIA 75 (2006) THE ATHENIAN Pages 33-81 PRYTANEION DISCOVERED? ABSTRACT The author proposes that the Athenian Prytaneion, one of the city's most important civic buildings, was located in the peristyle complex beneath Agia Aikaterini Square, near the ancient Street of the Tripods and theMonument of Lysikrates in the modern Plaka. This thesis, which is consistent with Pausa s nias topographical account of ancient Athens, is supported by archaeological and epigraphical evidence. The identification of the Prytaneion at the eastern foot of the Acropolis helps to reconstruct the map of Archaic and Classical Athens and illuminates the testimony of Herodotos and Thucydides. most The Prytaneion is the oldest and important of the civic buildings in to us ancient Athens that have remained lost until the present.1 For the or Athenians the Prytaneion, town hall, the office of the city's chief official, as a symbolized the foundation of Athens city-state, its construction form ing an integral part of Theseus's legendary synoecism of Attica (Thuc. 2.15.2; Plut. Thes. 24.3). Like other prytaneia throughout the Greek world, the Athenian Prytaneion represented what has been termed the very "life common of the polis," housing the hearth of the city, the "inextinguishable and immovable flame" of the goddess Hestia.2 As the ceremonial center was of Athens, the Prytaneion the site of both public entertainment for 1.1 am to the to a excellent for greatly indebted express my heartfelt thanks number suggestions improving this 1st Ephoreia of Prehistoric and Classi of scholars who have given generously article.

The "Agora" of Pausanias I, 17, 1-2
THE "AGORA" OF PAUSANIAS I, 17, 1-2 P AUSANIAS has given us a long description of the main square of ancient Athens, a place which we are accustomed to call the Agora following Classical Greek usage but which he calls the Kerameikos according to the usage of his own time. This name Kerameikos he uses no less than five times, and in each case it is clear that he is referringto the main square, the ClassicalAgora, of Athens. " There are stoas from the gates to the Kerameikos" he says on entering the city (I, 2, 4), and then, as he begins his description of the square, " the place called Kerameikoshas its name from the hero Keramos-first on the right is the Stoa Basileios as it is called " (I, 3, 1). Farther on he says " above the Kerameikosand the stoa called Basileios is the temple of Hephaistos " (I, 14, 6). Describing Sulla's captureof Athens in 86 B.C. he says that the Roman general shut all the Athenians who had opposed him into the Kerameikos and had one out of each ten of them killed (I, 20, 6). It is generally agreed that this refers to the Classical Agora. Finally, when visiting Mantineia in far-off Arcadia (VII, 9, 8) Pausanias reports seeing ".a copy of the painting in the Kerameikos showing the deeds of the Athenians at Mantineia." The original painting in Athens was in the Stoa of Zeus on the main square, and Pausanias had already described it in his account of Athens (I, 3, 4).
