Roman Sarcophagi and Children
The chapter opens by defining ‘Roman’ and ‘children’ (in Roman sarcophagus terms) and problems inherent in both. The discussion starts with a brief description and outline of Roman burial practices involving sarcophagus burials, including how the city of Rome may have differed from e.g. northern Italy in terms of children and sarcophagi. The discussion then moves onto the reliefs that decorated sarcophagi and to the key question of how far their …
Roman Strigillated Sarcophagi
Roman Strigillated Sarcophagi
"This is the first full study of Roman strigillated sarcophagi, which are the largest group of decorated marble sarcophagi to survive in the city of Rome. Characterized by panels of carved fluting - hence the description 'strigillated', after the curved strigil used by Roman bathers to scrape off oil - and limited figure scenes, they were produced from the mid-second to the early fifth century AD, and thus cover a critical period in Rome, from em…
Introducing the Questions
Roman strigillated sarcophagi are distinguished by their S-shaped fluting, minimal figures, and architectural decoration. Produced over several centuries and surviving in large numbers, they are a potentially rich historical source for late imperial and early Christian Rome (and for various post-classical societies in which they were reused). Earlier means of analysing Roman sarcophagi in general, through classification and typology, were deterre…

Pantomime Performance and Figured Scenes on Roman Sarcophagi
This chapter explores the relationship between pantomime dance and funerary iconography in Roman society. The similarities between the art form of pantomime and sarcophagus art are identified in their shared activities of: interpreting well‐known subject‐matter from mythology to their viewers, inspiring reflection on the human condition through a visual display, and engaging with the human body in a fundamental way. The discussion opens with a cr…
Theatre, Performance and Theatricality in Some Mosaic Pavements From Antioch
This paper reconsiders four pavements from houses in or around Antioch on the Orontes which are generally recognised to have had some association with plays or the theatre. The ‘Red Pavement’ and the mosaic of ‘Iphigencia’ have been taken to illustrate the texts of particular plays by Euripides; scenes in the ‘House of Dionysus and Ariadne’ show satyrs in theatrical costume; and a triclinium mosaic from the House of Menander portrays the playwrig…
Representing Women on Roman Sarcophagi
This interdisciplinary anthology takes as its starting point the belief that, as the material grounds of lived experience, material culture provides an avenue of historical access to women's lives, extending beyond the reaches of textual evidence. Studies here range from utilitarian tools used in Late Roman abortion to sacred, magical or ritual objects associated with sex, procreation, and marriage in the Renaissance. Together the essays demonstr…

Quasi tutte le precedenti discussioni su questo fenomeno hanno preso in considerazione qu…

Some Pagan Mythological Figures and Their Significance in Early Christian Art
Ever since the discussion of Orpheus in Bosio's Roma Sotterranea (1632, 627 ff) the problem of pagan mythological figures in early Christian art has aroused much attention. Until quite recently, however, it was generally believed that Orpheus was the only such figure to appear, so that discussion naturally centred on his peculiar acceptability to the Christians. But the discovery of important new material and the renewed interest amongst scholars…
