The Roman Republic and Political Culture
This volume makes available in English translation for the first time a series of hugely influential articles about Roman Republican politics which were all originally published in German. They represent a school of thought that has long been in dialogue with Anglophone research but has not always been accessible to all English-speakers, leaving many listening to only one side of a conversation. The contributions were part of a movement towards v…
Monuments and Consensus
Political monuments are characterized by visual materiality that allows for and indeed invites engagement; the claim for permanence; and the force of visual presence. Caesar’s monuments, especially on the Capitol, signalled a decidedly new quality of presence irreconcilable with the fine balance of individual achievement and public recognition. The rules behind this balance were flexible, but collective consensus always retained the upper hand. T…
Encounters with Andrew Stewart
Writing in memory of Andrew Stewart is an almost impossible task. For all who have ever met him he was, and still is, incomparably present, not only in his books and articles but as a person. Even using his official first name presupposes an inappropriate distance: he was and is ‘Andy’. His scientific thoughts and insights are not just dated texts on paper but ongoing provocative challenges in life, beyond libraries, classrooms and desks. Those w…

Dovete leggere di più i Francesi!“
Cet article entreprend de reconstituer la façon dont les travaux des membres de l’« École de Paris » ont été reçus et discutés au sein de l’école archéologique allemande, depuis les années 1970. Il évoque en particulier le rôle de passeurs qu’ont joué plusieurs archéologues allemands et français ainsi que certains cercles scientifiques (tel le groupe de Hambourg, et la revue Hephaistos). L’enjeu était bien celui de l’appartenance pleine et entièr…
In memoriam . Erika Simon (27 juin 1927-15 février 2019)
À l’automne 2017, une opération archéologique a été réalisée au sud-est de la ville d’Avignon (Vaucluse), au lieu-dit « Bel Air ». Cette intervention consistait à sonder un vaste terrain d’une superficie d’environ 275 000 m2 dans le but d’évaluer le potentiel archéologique du secteur. Dans un des sondages, a été mise au jour une structure antique identifiée comme un possible renforcement d’une portion de voirie, mis en œuvre au moyen d’éléments l…

Visual Power in Ancient Greece and Rome
This book aims to explore the aspects of visuality in Greek and Roman culture, comprising the visual appearance of images as well as the reality of the social world. The face-to-face societies of ancient Greece and Rome were to a high degree based on civic presence and direct, immediate social interaction in which visual appearance and experience of beings and things was of paramount importance. The six chapters of the book are dedicated to actio…
‘Is Painting a Representation of Visible Things?’ Conceptual Reality in Greek Art
Recent approaches to Greek and Roman art unanimously and emphatically stress the character of images as visual and material ‘constructions’ (Bažant 1985; von den Hoff and Schmidt 2001). This concept is held by the most advanced, thoughtful and serious voices of art history, and it is applied to all kinds of figurative representation, from individual figures to multi-figured scenes, through all genres and periods of ancient art. Thus, Richard Neer…

Medien der Geschichte - Antikes Griechenland und Rom
Our understanding of past societies is shaped by the media that constitute their cultural practices. The essays in this volume examine the specific forms by which Ancient Greek and Roman civilizations presented themselves in literature and inscriptions, sculpture and monuments, habitats and rituals. They explore the question of how the ways that media construct historical realities come together to form an overall concept of history.

Images of War in Greece and Rome
Wars were once considered to be the essence of world history, but under the influence of social history, the histoire des mentalités , and the discourse of the ‘cultural turn’ their role has changed fundamentally. More interest is now paid to wars as part of cultural history than as highpoints of histoire événementielle . Historians of the present generation stand in an ambivalent relation to the phenomenon of war. The ‘cultural turn’ in historic…
