Mast-step Coins in Roman Ships
Mast-step coins have been discovered in Roman shipwrecks dating from the 2nd century BCE to the 4th century CE, and their placement at the foot of the ship’s mainmast was a deliberate act with significant maritime and religious meaning. This article argues that, in antiquity, mast-step coins were votive offerings to a deity associated with the mast and sails of ancient sailing vessels, and it is proposed that this deity was Isis Pelagia, the inve…
The Thomas Ashby Photographic Archive
The prints, negatives and albums in the British School at Rome's Thomas Ashby Photographic Archive are a rich assortment of materials created by Ashby and his colleagues, such as Agnes and Dora Bulwer. The archive was the natural and spontaneous product of Ashby's personal and working life and it was not until after his death that it was transferred into the public institutional domain. This article investigates the original intention of Ashby's …
Landscape Archaeology, Photography, and Friendship
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the talented British photographers Dora and Agnes Bulwer travelled to sites of historical significance throughout Italy. Their photographs reveal their fascination with the Italian countryside, its people, and the remains of Italy’s past. As members of the British and American Archaeological Society of Rome and friends of leading archaeologists Rodolfo Lanciani and Thomas Ashby, the sisters ph…
Expeditions From Rome
In the early twentieth century, Thomas Ashby published extensively on the Roman roads of Italy. The BSR Director was determined to create a lasting record of the ancient Roman road network before it was lost forever. Yet Ashby's research vision was grand and it was too ambitious a task for one man to accomplish on his own. This paper investigates the crucial role of BSR scholars in Ashby's research. It discusses his relationship with the communit…
Road Trips, Rail Journeys and Landscape Archaeology
This article highlights the importance of photography for landscape archaeology and topographical studies in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and explores the value of photographic collections for the reconstruction of research itineraries and reconnaissance excursions in this period. Photographs held at the British School at Rome are utilized to demonstrate the ways in which collections of images can be used to retrace and chro…
Athena, patroness of the marketplace
Athena was an important part of Greek, Roman, and Byzantine cultural tradition and memory. To date, late-antique images of the popular deity—and her Roman counterpart Minerva—have usually been considered secular, devoid of all previous pagan meaning. Occasionally, scholars have deemed Athena’s continued popularity the result of an antiquarian interest in the classical past. Based on an analysis of steelyard weights of the period 400–600 CE and pr…
