Gladiators as a Class
The amphitheatre has been described as a microcosm of Roman society. In the amphitheatre the social divisions and distinctions that defined Roman society were exposed to all. From the worst seats to the best seats, from slaves to the emperor, from dirty clothes to regal purple, visually (and audibly) society was on show. At the heart of this was the arena itself, where the gaze of all fell upon the gladiators. These men (and women) were, in princ…
War as Spectacle
War as Spectacle examines the display of armed conflict in classical antiquity and its impact in the modern world. The contributors address the following questions: how and why was war conceptualized as a spectacle in our surviving ancient Greek and Latin sources? How has this view of war been adapted in post-classical contexts and to what purpose
Inscriptions and Identity
Inscriptions and Identity
The inscriptions of Roman Britain are few in number; in terms of its epigraphy Britain could be seen as the poor relation of the Roman Empire. Nevertheless the surviving inscriptions are a varied and exciting resource. This chapter explores how inscriptions were used in the province—where they were found, who set them up, and what roles the inscriptions performed. It considers how inscriptions communicated and the importance of evaluating wider m…
Remembering Rome
Death and Disease in the Ancient City
This innovative volume draws on recent research in archaeology, ancient history and the history of medicine to discuss how people in the ancient world understood and dealt with illness and death in the urban environment.
Death and Disease in the Ancient City
Constructing Identity
This detailed examination of the funerary monuments of Aquileia, Mainz and Nimes allows the investigation of the relative impact of citizenship, social mobility and competitive display in the context of individual sites. It investigates how identity was constructed at death and which elements of the social persona of the deceased (gender, age, legal status, honours and occupation) influenced monument design. It also focuses on the representation …
Constructing Roman identity
Hundreds of thousands of tombstones survive from the Roman period. This paper explores the value of this source to the Roman social historian, using historical and sociological studies of funerary evidence, particularly of the Victorian period, to provide comparative models. It is argued here that information drawn from Roman tombstones does not allow the development of simple demographic assertions about the population of the Roman Empire. Inste…
Words and Pictures
A tombstone removed from its context loses much of its evocative nature; disassociated from the remains it was intended to commemorate its original function is obscured. The tombstone continues, nevertheless, to communicate through text and also images. Its removal may mute the impact of the message but if the stone remains un-shattered and un-concealed it is not easily silenced
