Shelley Hales. Review of "Painting, Ethics, and Aesthetics in Rome" by Nathaniel B. Jones
A Search for Home
The domestic sphere is metaphorically and practically central to Pater’s Marius the Epicurean as Marius’ journey towards self-knowledge is reflected in the architecture and atmosphere of a series of domestic locations. Moreover, Marius’ personal struggles are set within a vast time- and space-scape that is itself domesticized: the glories of Rome recalled by the ruins of Cicero’s villa, and a Christian Europe portended by imagined German cottages…
Writing Pompeii
This chapter presents an abridged transcript of an interview with Robert Harris, conducted in person by the editors of this volume in June 2007. In 2003, Harris's Pompeii was published by Random House: this was his first novel to be set in antiquity, and was followed in 2006 by Imperium, the first of a planned series of novels on the life and times of Cicero. In conversation, Harris offers insight into the challenges and opportunities afforded th…
Cities of the Dead
In February 1863, Giuseppe Fiorelli performed the ultimate materialization; his plaster casts (gessi) made manifest the dead of Pompeii for everyone to see. This chapter attempts to view Fiorelli's achievements in the context of the fetishistic morbidity from which it is deemed to have departed. It examines the contexts in which a British audience may have couched their responses to Fiorelli's Pompeii and recalls a world in which archaeology was …

Eunuchs in Antiquity and Beyond
Eunuchism was a subject which both intrigued and embarrassed the ancient world. The special virtue attributed to the castrated male at court, of undistracted loyalty to his ruler, aided the promotion of numerous eunuchs to positions of great power. A literary discourse developed, reviling and sometimes defending the eminence of these 'half-men'. Here, thirteen new studies from an international cast explore how eunuchs were perceived, and also rec…
