Petrographic Analysis of the Volcanic Component of Roman Mortars From the Early Imperial Age to the Renaissance in the Archeological Excavations at Mausoleum of Augustus
We present the results of the petrographic analysis on 11 thin sections representative of the mortars and concretes of ancient masonry structures ranging from the Augustan Age to the Renaissance, exposed from recent excavations carried out at the Mausoleum of Augustus in Rome, aimed at investigating the evolution of the materials employed as aggregates. Our study attests to the systematic and exclusive use of volcanic rocks in the production of f…
Geochemical proveniencing of the tuff used to build the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus and other Archaic monuments (Rome, Italy)
Archaeology of Twentieth-Century Rome
When Rome became the capital of a unified Italian state in 1871, the city lagged behind other European capitals in contemporary architectural expression. Ancient ruins evoked a distant glory, although the area of Rome containing the Imperial Fora was covered over by a dense urban residential quarter called the Alessandrino District. The quarter was labelled a slum district by fascist propaganda, and it was demolished in the early 1930s to make wa…
Renaissance Rome and the Italian Glass Connection
Italy had a prominent role in the Renaissance European glass market, thanks to three centers of production located in Venice, Tuscany, and Liguria. The substantial amount of glass finds excavated in the 16th-century a.d. dumps of the Forum of Caesar is the object of this first interdisciplinary study of glass from Renaissance Rome. The typology reveals the predominance of medical containers, followed by tableware with parallels in Tuscan producti…
Disease control and the disposal of infectious materials in Renaissance Rome
Excavations in Rome have long focused on the early city; only recently has attention turned to the archaeology of the medieval and later periods. Here, the authors present a rare sixteenth-century context, dating to a time when European cities contended with repeat epidemics and implemented measures to control the spread of disease. A contextual approach to the assemblage leads to its identification as a 'medical dump' of clinical equipment, incl…
High-Definition Urban Narratives from Central Rome
Since 2017, excavations have taken place on Caesar’s Forum in Rome. The area holds archaeological evidence covering three thousand years of Rome’s prehistory and historical periods. The excavations offer wide-ranging research possibilities connected to the urban development of one of the classical world’s pivotal city centres. However, the location’s centrality also offers challenges when transforming the vast bulk and complex nature of the archa…
Practicing Urban Archaeology in a Modern City
This article describes the documentation according to FAIR principles of the first phase of the excavation of parts of the Alessandrino Quarter—an area of central Rome that has largely remained unexplored, although situated in the center of what is today one of the most visited cities in Europe. Archaeological fieldwork in modern cities presents excavators with a particular set of challenges. Prominent among these is archaeological complexity—the…
La città dei re di Cirene
It is becoming increasingly clear that, beginning from the Late Bronze age, links between the Aegean world and the North African coast remained unbroken except perhaps for a brief interlude immediately after the foundation of the Phoenician colonies in the area between the Gulf of Syrte and what is now Tunisia. The example of Cyrene, which has not received the attention it merits outside the narrow circle of Libyan experts, is one of the most cle…
Le Bestiaire d’Héraclès
En choisissant le thème du « Bestiaire d’Héraclès », la rencontre à l’origine de ce livre collectif entendait explorer, à travers la figure emblématique du héros des douze Travaux, un axe essentiel des rapports réels et imaginaires de l’homme avec son environnement naturel et culturel. Héraclès est à la fois le chasseur et la proie, le sacrificateur et la victime, dans un rapport dialectique avec les animaux qui, tantôt l’attirent vers le monde s…
La dea con il silfio e l'iconografia di Panakeia a Cirene
Molte città antiche utilizzarono come emblema dei primi tipi monetali prodotti vegetali o agricoli della chora che consentivano una immediata associazione con le località di provenienza delle monete. A Cirene fin dai primi conii, datati dal Robinson intorno al 560 a.C., compare il silfio, che costituisce nei diversi modi di rappresentazione (pianta, frutto, foglia, radice) il tipo principale per tutto il periodo regio. Secondo la tradizione lette…
