  • The Res Gestae in its provincial contexts

    Alison Cooley, Alison E CooleyARTICLELampas2019

    This paper demonstrates the importance of viewing the Res Gestae not just as a document intended for an audience at Rome, but as a text that was adapted for display in different provincial urban contexts, via its incorporation into different monumental settings at Ancyra, Apollonia, and Antioch, via the addition of a translation in Greek that modified the original emphases of the Res Gestae , and via the addition of an Appendix at the end of the …

  • From the Augustan Principate to the Invention of the Age of Augustus

    Open AccessAlison Cooley, Alison E CooleyARTICLEThe Journal of Roman Studies2019Cited by: 3References: 29

    This paper explores alternatives to analysing the political impact of Augustus in terms of the establishment of a new constitutional structure, the Augustan Principate. It starts by showing how the word principatus changed over time and explores the significance of the term statio . It considers how contemporaries viewed the political changes that occurred during Augustus’ lifetime, analysing the ways in which power at Rome became increasingly em…

  • Breaking through the language barrier - bringing 'dead' languages to life through sensory and narrative engagement

    Open AccessAbigail Baker, Alison CooleyARTICLEMuseum Management and Curatorship2018Cited by: 4References: 22

    Ancient inscriptions can be difficult to understand and off-putting to museum audiences, but they are packed with personal stories and vivid information about the people who made them. This article argues that overcoming the language barrier presented by these objects can offer a deep sense of engagement with the ancient world and explores possible ways of achieving this. It looks at examples of effective approaches from a range of European museu…

  • Multiple Meanings in the Sanctuary of the Magna Mater at Ostia

    Open AccessAlison CooleyARTICLEReligion in the Roman Empire2015

    This paper explores how inscribed objects set up in the sanctuary of the Magna Mater at Ostia expressed the multiple meanings of the cult activities that took place there. It examines how this space hosted a variety of religious experiences that involved individuals, groups, the city, and the state, and how inscriptions can provide us with a glimpse of this complex shifting scene. Whilst some inscribed dedications expressed personal relationships…

  • The emergence of epigraphy in the Kingdom of Naples

    Alison Cooley, A E CooleyARTICLEJournal of the History of…2014

    This paper explores attitudes to the inscriptions of Pompeii and Herculaneum during the Bourbon era, considering what role was played by inscriptions in shaping visitors’ responses to the sites; what value they had in the eyes of the sites’ excavators and royal patrons; and the extent to which inscriptions in the Kingdom of Naples played a role in the development of epigraphy as a sub-discipline. It assesses how the treatment of inscriptions refl…

  • Paratextual readings of imperial discourse in the Res Gestae divi Augusti

    Alison Cooley, Alison E CooleyARTICLECahiers du Centre Gustave Glotz2014

    It has long been clear that to understand Roman epigraphic culture we need to examine inscriptions not just as texts, but also as monuments. The monumentality and public display of texts inscribed on bronze and stone reflect an important investment by the person or body that chose to set them up. This paper explores a new approach to Roman epigraphy by examining inscriptions from the perspective of paratexts, developing the theoretical approach o…

  • Pompeii and Herculaneum

    Alison Cooley, Alison E Cooley et al.BOOKPompeii and Herculaneum2013Cited by: 4

    The original edition of Pompeii: A Sourcebook was a crucial resource for students of the site. Now updated to include material from Herculaneum, the neighbouring town also buried in the eruption of Vesuvius, Pompeii and Herculaneum: A Sourcebook allows readers to form a richer and more diverse picture of urban life on the Bay of Naples. Focusing upon inscriptions and ancient texts, it translates and sets into context a representative sample of th…

  • The Cambridge Manual of Latin Epigraphy

    Open AccessAlison Cooley, Alison E CooleyBOOKCambridge Manual of Latin Epigraphy2012

    This book advances our understanding of the place of Latin inscriptions in the Roman world. It enables readers, especially those new to the subject, to appreciate both the potential and the limitations of inscriptions as historical source material, by considering the diversity of epigraphic culture in the Roman world and how it has been transmitted to the twenty-first century. The first chapter offers an epigraphic sample drawn from the Bay of Na…

  • Roman Inscriptions 2006–2010

    Open AccessAlison Cooley, Alison E Cooley et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Roman Studies2012References: 75

    The aim of this quinquennial survey remains the same as its predecessor, as for the most part does the format, though the team is regrettably reduced by one. With an eye to the study of the Roman world, we hope to signal the most important newly published inscriptions, significant reinterpretations of previously published material, new trends in scholarship, recent studies that draw heavily on epigraphic sources, and noteworthy developments in th…

  • Res Gestae Divi Augusti

    Augustus Augustus, Alison Cooley et al.BOOKRes gestae divi Augusti2009

This edition provides a text, translation and detailed commentary - the first substantial one in English for more than four decades - which is suitable for use with students of all levels. The commentary deals with linguistic, stylistic and historic…

  • Beyond Rome and Latium

    Open AccessAlison Cooley, A E CooleyCHAPTERReligion in Republican Italy2006

    INTRODUCTION: RELIGION AND IMPERIALISM One of the main themes of this collection of essays is the impact of Roman institutions and practices on Italic society and the reciprocal impact of non-Roman institutions and practices on Roman custom. Other contributors to this volume (notably Glinister, Harvey, and Schultz) have explored the nature of this two-way exchange during the Republic, its extent and limitations. In general, Republican Rome can be…

Vi è generale consenso sul fatto che il teatro di Ostia sia stato costruito nel periodo augusteo, dietro suggerimento del braccio destro di Augusto, Marco Agrippa, ma è stato…
