Herodes Atticus, Material Memories, and the Expression and Reception of Grief
Herodes Atticus is known as much for his outrageous grief as for his impressive attempts to build himself into the cityscapes and memorial landscapes of the eastern Roman empire. This chapter examines some of Herodes' more personal monuments - curse-inscribed herms of his foster sons and the Gate of Eternal Concord - within the context of their spatial relationships, Herodes' personal commemorative programme, and his own theorising on apatheia an…
Fashioning the Future in Roman Greece
This book uses literature, inscriptions, art, and monuments to explore the relationship of elite Greeks in the Roman empire to time. It challenges conventional thinking on the temporality of the so-called ‘Second Sophistic’ to argue that, rather than being obsessed above all with the Classical past, imperial Greek culture used the past to position itself within tradition as a way of addressing the future. At the same time, the book demonstrates t…
Anabasis as Monument
This chapter concentrates on Arrian's apparent refurbishment of a monument to Hadrian at Trapezus on the Black Sea that opens his Periplus (1.1- 4) and Alexander's interaction with Achilles' grave at Troy in his Anabasis in the context of both Arrian's 'Second Preface' (1.12.1-5) and the Ten Thousand's thanks-giving cairn on Mt. Theches that marks their first sight of the sea in Xenophon's Anabasis (4.7.24). I demonstrate that a) there is a relat…
Herodes Atticus and the sanctuaries of Achaea
This chapter examines how Herodes Atticus shaped his and his family’s role in Roman Achaea through dedications and benefactions to its many important sanctuaries. I argue that Herodes’ monumental vision not only signals inheritance of the Greek past but also the continuing vibrancy of Greek culture, as well as the dependency of Roman power on Greek elites. Herodes’ dedications focus both on religious sites of panhellenic significance, such as Oly…
