Il Foro di Traiano nel Medioevo e nel Rinascimento
The Roman Forum
The Roman Forum was in many ways the heart of the Roman Empire. Today, the Forum exists in a fragmentary state, having been destroyed and plundered by barbarians, aristocrats, citizens and priests over the past two millennia. Enough remains, however, for archaeologists to reconstruct its spectacular buildings and monuments. This richly illustrated volume provides an architectural history of the central section of the Roman Forum during the Empire…
Roman Forum
The Theater of Pompey in Rome
"Celebrated by the writers of classical antiquity for its size, splendor, and amenities, the Theater of Pompey has almost completely disappeared from modern Rome. Yet, its site has been known for centuries (probably since antiquity). Modern buildings – particularly Palazzo Pio at Campo de’ Fiori – preserve its outline, and various fragments of its surviving structure allow a reasonably accurate reconstruction of its original appearance.With a dia…

Looking Again at Pompey's Theater
Continuing the work of our first season in the Theater of Pompey in 2002, our second excavation season (July-August 2005) revealed a layer of travertine slabs at 10.38 masl, which was probably a section of the foundation. We also investigated the area around an ancient pier, one of the pair between the excavation area and the passage under the stairs/seats that led to the Temple of Venus Victrix. By calculating the depth of the pier, we located t…
A New Look at Pompey's Theater
Maintained throughout the Roman empire, the Theater of Pompey had fallen into ruins by the early 12th century. By 1762 its remains had been identified, and in 1835 the architect Luigi Canina produced a graphic reconstruction revised by Victoire Baltard in 1837. An 1865 excavation recovered a colossal bronze Hercules and new sections of the theater, but no further studies followed. In 1996–2001 Richard Beacham and James Packer documented the acces…
Plurima Et Amplissima Opera
The Rome that greeted Vespasian and his supporters on their arrival in late summer or early fall of 70 CE, exhibited both large-scale burned over areas and the architectural excesses of Nero's last years. To emphasise the restoration of religious and civil order, work began almost at once on the reconstruction of the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus. The buildings of the Flavians, like those of their predecessors, expressed many different themes…

The Baths of Caracalla
Report from Rome
Abandoned along the sides of the Via dei Fori Imperiali for more than 30 years after the end of the Second World War, the imperial fora have now, at the end of the 20th century, once again become a major focus of scholarly activity in Rome. In the last several years new books and articles on the Markets of Trajan and the Fora of Caesar, Nerva (the Forum Transitorium), and Trajan have been published; others are about to appear. Much work has been …

Foro di Traiano
A New Excavation in Trajan's Forum
In addition to showing the facade of the Basilica Ulpia in Trajan's Forum, the Severan Forma Urbis depicts a part of the Area Fori. There, in line with the east porch on the facade of the Ulpia, a double row of dots continues the lines of the porch columns. Are these symbols columns, statues or trees? Only re-excavation of this zone could clarify this question. In early 1982, the authors undertook this work, clearing a space 6 × 25 m. which exten…

Vitruvius and Later Roman Building Manuals
An edition and translation of Faventinus' Compendium of Vitruvius' De architectura. There is an introductory account of the relationship between Vitruvius and the world of Faventinus and Palladius, both of whom made great use of Vitruvian material, Palladius apparently deriving it exclusively from Faventinus. But they did not borrow it slavishly. Both adapted it and added to it in the light of the practical concerns of their own day and technical…
Structure and Design in Ancient Ostia
Housing and Population in Imperial Ostia and Rome
In the accounts of contemporaries imperial Rome looms as the largest and most magnificent capital of its age, and it is only natural, therefore, that modern scholars have attempted to determine with some precision both the size of the city's population and the way in which that population was housed. The evidence relating to the two closely connected problems is both archaeological and written : the ruins of ancient houses which still exist in Ro…
