Wohnkultur im spätantiken Ostia

Danner, Marcel
Thumbnail
Between the 3rd and 5th centuries AD, the Roman Empire changed in many respects, but the core of the social order remained the same. The residential culture of the elites of the time provides insights into the relationship between continuity and transformation. To what extent did the residential neighbourhoods of the ancient cities change? Did the habits of residents and guests change, or did the taste of the owners change? These and other questions are discussed in detail using the example of a group of particularly well-preserved houses in the Roman harbour city of Ostia. The study clearly shows how the living culture of the Roman upper classes gradually changed in the interplay between supra-regional and local developments, tradition and innovation.

Appropriation Processes of Statue Schemata in the Roman Provinces | Aneignungsprozesse antiker Statuenschemata in den römischen Provinzen

Dorka Moreno, Martin (editor)
Lipps, Johannes (editor)
Griesbach, Jochen (editor)
Thumbnail
The majority of ancient statues can be typologised on the basis of formal overlaps, i.e. arranged in 'schemes'. Individual statue schemes were handed down over centuries in ever new versions and integrated into different material, spatial and functional contexts. These processes of reception and transformation can be understood as cultural appropriations that were aesthetically, politically and/or religiously motivated. As a rule, they presupposed education and thus also had a social component. Often, however, purely practical reasons such as the availability of a certain form led to the reproduction of anthropomorphic figures according to a scheme. In the process, the pictorial works could preserve the former contexts of meaning of their models, only partially adopt them or ignore them and 'overwrite' them with completely new meanings. This volume, which is the result of an international conference in Tübingen, brings together contributions that discuss the above-mentioned processes of reception in individual centres and regions of the Roman Empire.

›Naturheiligtümer‹ im westlichen Kleinasien: Natur in sakralen Kontexten von der Archaik bis zum Ausgang des Hellenismus

Schimpf, Florian
Thumbnail
Caves, rocks, springs and trees shaped ancient cult practice to a great extent and were important, sometimes legitimising components of Greek sanctuaries. They could even constitute the actual sanctuary itself. Since such natural sanctuaries were not per se precursors of later magnificent sanctuaries and an intentional natural decoration is therefore to be understood as an alternative to an architectural decoration, we will discuss what qualified natural constitutive elements as components of a sanctuary or as a sanctuary and what their function was in a sacred context on the basis of Western Asia Minor archaeological sites.

Sexual Rivalry in Petronius’ Satyrica: A Study on Comic Elements and Narrative Technique

Konrad Löbcke

Wenn Petrons Satyrica heute auf den Markt kämen, würden wir unseren Kindern davon abraten. Denn aus heutiger Sicht ist das Buch ein Manifest der toxischen Männlichkeit. Männer in Machtpositionen behandeln andere als bloße Sexobjekte und betrachten sexuelle Erniedrigung, Ausbeutung und Gewalt als nichtige Lappalien. Und dennoch: Setzen wir die Satyrica in ihren ursprünglichen literarischen und soziohistorischen Kontext, helfen sie die Widersprüche der Antike sowie unserer Gegenwart zu erkennen.
