The Christian Turn of Roman Sarcophagi DeathinNewKey:TheChristianTurnofRomanSarcophagi by Robert Couzin A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Art University of Toronto © Copyright by Robert Couzin (2013) DeathinNewKey:TheChristianTurnofRomanSarcophagi Robert Couzin Doctor of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto 2013 Abstract Christian sarcophagi were produced in Rome during a long fourth century for a narrow audience. Their iconography marks a discontinuity in a centuries-old medium, a turn away from pagan and profane themes towards biblical narratives and Christian ideas. Following their patrons and viewers, these sarcophagi “converted” to a new religion and visually expressed its novel conception of death. This dissertation approaches these monuments as autonomous historical documents that merit examination on their own terms, which is not to deny the importance of social, economic, religious or artistic developments. Some of these extrinsic elements of context are addressed in the initial chapters. In particular, inferences are drawn concerning the cohort of individuals who bought, occupied and saw these sarcophagi based on estimates of cost and the Roman income distribution. Visibility, conditions of access and the circumstances of reception are also examined. Following these contextual considerations, the study focuses on two distinct and chronologically separated groups of Christian sarcophagi. The first consists of monuments with the Jonah theme, the [ii] single most popular form in the period before 350 CE. Jonah sarcophagi are representative of the widespread use of scriptural symbolic narrative, combining Old and New Testament allusions with other potential associations. The second group are sarcophagi displaying the so-called traditio legis (a modern Latinism), an important example of the late-century “conceptual” forms that allude to religious tenets without any specific scriptural anchor. This complex and controversial form of representation suggests a composite design, a conflation of images into a single form. Through a close reading of both the Jonah and traditio legis sarcophagi, the discussion elucidates various facets of reception and a range of over-determined and alternative meanings. The conclusion considers how the fourth- century Roman sarcophagi contributed to the construction of a Christian imaginaire of Christian death among their viewers. [iii] Acknowledgements I could not have brought this project to fruition without the calm, unflagging and critical (in both senses) support of my dissertation supervisor, Jill Caskey. Her incisive comments and sage advice were indispensable and are deeply appreciated. She was joined on the dissertation committee by Adam S. Cohen, whose extraordinary diligence and perspicacity goaded me towards greater clarity of both thought and expression. I also thank Björn Ewald for his contribution of the Romanist perspective. Joseph Bryant (Department of Sociology and the Centre for the Study of Religion) added an important dimension to the examination committee and I appreciate his input. I am honoured that a scholar of the stature of Dale Kinney (Bryn Mawr College) agreed to serve as external examiner. She was generous in her appraisal and helpful in her comments. Through her inspired teaching Linda Safran, the first medievalist I encountered in my graduate studies, subtly but surely deflected my interests from the Italian Renaissance to late antiquity. Without the encouragement of Michael Koortbojian (Princeton University) I would probably never have undertaken this challenge, and his continuing counsel throughout the process was invaluable. I thank my fellow students in the Department of Art for being so accepting and supportive, and the Faculty for the confidence they expressed by accepting me into the program. I was warmly received in Rome by Umberto Utro, curator of the Museo Pio Cristiano, and at the Musée départemental Arles antique by Aurélie Coste and Valérie Clenas on behalf of the Director, Claude Sintès. Hermann Otto Geissler, who like me embarked on scholarly pursuits in retirement, kindly provided a copy of his Magisterarbeit on the traditio legis, and Arnold Provoost (Katholieke Universiteit, Leuven) generously forwarded CDs holding his extensive catalogue of early Christian funerary art. Several other scholars patiently responded to my queries, including Daniel Stökl Ben Ezra (École pratique des hautes études), Walter Scheidel (Stanford University), Timothy Lim (University of Edinburgh) and Branko Milanovic (World Bank).

  • Profile of a Plant: the Olive in Early Medieval Italy, 400-900 CE By
    Profile of a Plant: The Olive in Early Medieval Italy, 400-900 CE by Benjamin Jon Graham A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2014 Doctoral Committee: Professor Paolo Squatriti, Chair Associate Professor Diane Owen Hughes Professor Richard P. Tucker Professor Raymond H. Van Dam © Benjamin J. Graham, 2014 Acknowledgements Planting an olive tree is an act of faith. A cultivator must patiently protect, water, and till the soil around the plant for fifteen years before it begins to bear fruit. Though this dissertation is not nearly as useful or palatable as the olive’s pressed fruits, its slow growth to completion resembles the tree in as much as it was the patient and diligent kindness of my friends, mentors, and family that enabled me to finish the project. Mercifully it took fewer than fifteen years. My deepest thanks go to Paolo Squatriti, who provoked and inspired me to write an unconventional dissertation. I am unable to articulate the ways he has influenced my scholarship, teaching, and life. Ray Van Dam’s clarity of thought helped to shape and rein in my run-away ideas. Diane Hughes unfailingly saw the big picture—how the story of the olive connected to different strands of history. These three people in particular made graduate school a humane and deeply edifying experience. Joining them for the dissertation defense was Richard Tucker, whose capacious understanding of the history of the environment improved this work immensely. In addition to these, I would like to thank David Akin, Hussein Fancy, Tom Green, Alison Cornish, Kathleen King, Lorna Alstetter, Diana Denney, Terre Fisher, Liz Kamali, Jon Farr, Yanay Israeli, and Noah Blan, all at the University of Michigan, for their benevolence.

  • The Burial of the Urban Poor in Italy in the Late Republic and Early Empire
    Death, disposal and the destitute: The burial of the urban poor in Italy in the late Republic and early Empire Emma-Jayne Graham Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Archaeology University of Sheffield December 2004 IMAGING SERVICES NORTH Boston Spa, Wetherby West Yorkshire, LS23 7BQ www.bl.uk The following have been excluded from this digital copy at the request of the university: Fig 12 on page 24 Fig 16 on page 61 Fig 24 on page 162 Fig 25 on page 163 Fig 26 on page 164 Fig 28 on page 168 Fig 30on page 170 Fig 31 on page 173 Abstract Recent studies of Roman funerary practices have demonstrated that these activities were a vital component of urban social and religious processes. These investigations have, however, largely privileged the importance of these activities to the upper levels of society. Attempts to examine the responses of the lower classes to death, and its consequent demands for disposal and commemoration, have focused on the activities of freedmen and slaves anxious to establish or maintain their social position. The free poor, living on the edge of subsistence, are often disregarded and believed to have been unceremoniously discarded within anonymous mass graves (puticuli) such as those discovered at Rome by Lanciani in the late nineteenth century. This thesis re-examines the archaeological and historical evidence for the funerary practices of the urban poor in Italy within their appropriate social, legal and religious context. The thesis attempts to demonstrate that the desire for commemoration and the need to provide legitimate burial were strong at all social levels and linked to several factors common to all social strata.

  • Rome of the Pilgrims and Pilgrimage to Rome
    58 CHAPTER 2 Rome of the pilgrims and pilgrimage to Rome 2.1 Introduction As noted, the sacred topography of early Christian Rome focused on different sites: the official Constantinian foundations and the more private intra-mural churches, the tituli, often developed and enlarged under the patronage of wealthy Roman families or popes. A third, essential category is that of the extra- mural places of worship, almost always associated with catacombs or sites of martyrdom. It is these that will be examined here, with a particular attention paid to the documented interaction with Anglo-Saxon pilgrims, providing insight to their visual experience of Rome. The phenomenon of pilgrims and pilgrimage to Rome was caused and constantly influenced by the attitude of the early-Christian faithful and the Church hierarchies towards the cult of saints and martyrs. Rome became the focal point of this tendency for a number of reasons, not least of which was the actual presence of so many shrines of the Apostles and martyrs of the early Church. Also important was the architectural manipulation of these tombs, sepulchres and relics by the early popes: obviously and in the first place this was a direct consequence of the increasing number of pilgrims interested in visiting the sites, but it seems also to have been an act of intentional propaganda to focus attention on certain shrines, at least from the time of Pope Damasus (366-84).1 The topographic and architectonic centre of the mass of early Christian Rome kept shifting and moving, shaped by the needs of visitors and ‒ at the same time ‒ directing these same needs towards specific monuments; the monuments themselves were often built or renovated following a programme rich in liturgical and political sub-text.

    What’s been going on at the Pontifical Council for Culture Circular Letter, N. 15 (22 June 2017) Watershed: Replenishing Water Values for a Thirsty World A reflection on values and water under the auspices of the Dicastery in partnership with the Club of Rome and others took place in the Vatican, 21-23 March to raise awareness about the need to protect water. A workshop and a public event involved many government institutions and personalities. Continuing in the scientific vein, on 4 April, a high-level conference The Future of Humanity Through the Lens of Medical Science was hosted at the Nobile Collegio Chimico Farmaceutico di Roma with Nobel prize winner Mario Capecchi. Keynote speeches were given by Cardinal Ravasi, Giuseppe Remuzzi and Richard Horton, Editor of The Lancet. [See the Rassegna Stampa] Courtyards of the Gentiles The diffusion of this initiative continues apace and the main recent event, “Small Travellers, Great Ambassadors” was the annual Children’s Train bringing into the Vatican those suffering the effects of the Italian earthquakes who were delighted to meet Pope Francis. It had the theme “Custodians of the Earth” and was presented to the press by Pietro Grasso, President of the Senate and the president of the Italian geophysical and volcanology institute. Also significant were the Courtyards “Arrogance and Fear: dignity of women against violence” and “Laicity and Spirituality” at the Archive of the Quirinale. Many others have taken place, including at parish level. A Scientific Committee is active as is a Board of Governance, while a publication celebrating Pope Benedict’s Regensburg address is in preparation.

  • ABSTRACT Sarcophagi in Context: Identifying the Missing Sarcophagus of Helena in the Mausoleum of Constantina Jackson Perry
    ABSTRACT Sarcophagi in Context: Identifying the Missing Sarcophagus of Helena in the Mausoleum of Constantina Jackson Perry Director: Nathan T. Elkins, Ph.D The Mausoleum of Constantina and Helena in Rome once held two sarcophagi, but the second has never been properly identified. Using the decoration in the mausoleum and recent archaeological studies, this thesis identifies the probable design of the second sarcophagus. This reconstruction is confirmed by a fragment in the Istanbul Museum, which belonged to the lost sarcophagus. This is contrary to the current misattribution of the fragment to the sarcophagus of Constantine. This is only the third positively identified imperial sarcophagus recovered in Constantinople. This identification corrects misconceptions about both the design of the mausoleum and the history of the fragment itself. Using this identification, this thesis will also posit that an altar was originally placed in the mausoleum, a discovery central in correcting misconceptions about the 4th century imperial liturgy. Finally, it will posit that the decorative scheme of the mausoleum was not random, but was carefully thought out in connection to the imperial funerary liturgy itself.
