Non-invasive Geophysical Surveys in Search of the Roman Temple of Augustus Under the Cathedral of Tarragona (Catalonia, Spain): A Case Study
2018
An integrated geophysical survey has been conducted at the Tarragona’s Cathedral (Catalonia, NE Spain) with the aim to confirm the potential occurrence of archaeological remains of the Roman Temple dedicated to the Emperor Augustus. Many hypotheses have been proposed about its possible location, the last ones regarding the inner part of the Cathedral, which is one of the most renowned temples of Spain (twelfth century) evolving from Romanesque to Gothic styles. A geophysical project including electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and ground probing radar (GPR) was planned over 1 year considering the administrative and logistic difficulties of such a project inside a cathedral of religious…
Augusto Costantino Mussolini: i ricorsi storici delle rivoluzioni tra propaganda e disegni provvidenziali
2016
This research arises by focusing on the parallelism Augustus-Constantine, sug- gested just by the first christian emperor as a key point of his policy and an inspiring principle of his propaganda in the letter to the provincials of Palestine; after matching these two great emperors and authors of disguised revolutions, we deal with the attitudes of those intellectuals, politicians and ideologists who were involved in laying the foundations of propaganda com- municative system of fascism, with the ambitious programs of urban planning transformation, cultural and social renewal and colonial conquests. Both emperors are present as reference models within the mytography of Mussolini: behind the…
Immagini ed echi di Augusto in Sicilia: realia e contesti, res incertae vel alienae
2022
The paper gathers and analyzes the data useful for reconstructing the reception and the legacy of Augustus’ image in Sicilian civic contexts. Beside the four portrait heads from Syracuse, Centuripe, Tyndaris, Taormina, several sculptural, epigraphic and numismatic testimonia are considered from the above-quoted cities and other Sicilian sites. Except for few more ancient inscriptions/statues(?) (Syracuse) and coins (Segesta), a key moment in the response by the local civic communities to the imperial model is around Augustus’ visit of 21 B.C. and in the immediate period after his death. Moreover, a series of testimonia, mainly inscriptions and coins, belong to mid(-late) Augustan age, parti…
Parthosque reposcere signa. Augusto e i Parti in una statua da Regium Lepidi
2015
Una statua loricata frammentaria conservata nei Musei Civici di Reggio Emilia (l’antica Regium Lepidi), alla quale in passato non era stata dedicata sufficiente attenzione, potrebbe essere annoverata tra le scarse effigi di Augusto giunte fino a noi dal territorio della regio VIII. La decorazione della corazza, in particolare, sembra celebrare la restituzione delle insegne militari che i Parti avevano in precedenza sottratto ai Romani, come si può ipotizzare sulla base del confronto con le immagini monetali dell’Arco Partico, eretto da Augusto nel Foro di Roma. A fragmentary loricata statue preserved in the Civic Museums of Reggio Emilia (the ancient Regium Lepidi), to which in the past had…
Nullum... sine nomine saxum. Lucano e le 'rovine' della storia
2019
The paper analyzes the well-known episode of Caesar visiting the ruins of troy (Luc. 9,9 50-999), focusing in particular on the poet’s desecrating voice, a voice against the Virgilian interpretation of history. Through Caesar’s gestures, words and prayers, Lucan expresses a critical judgment of his actions and of those who, among his successors, first of all Augustus, had advanced the project of a glorious re-founding of Troy. A project destined to be blatantly denied by history.
Rural settlement in the territorium of Ilici: the Roman farm of The Cabezo-Clot de Galvany (Elx, Alicante)
2015
Situado en el territorium de Ilici, en el paraje de El Clot de Galvany (Elx), junto a un humedal de tierras pobres, presentamos una granja romana (ss. I-III d.C.). Su posición periférica respecto al área centuriada ilicitana, los restos materiales aparecidos (molinos, ausencia de estructuras de transformación, aislamiento relativo) y la gran simplicidad estructural y funcional del conjunto remarcan el carácter autosuficiente de este núcleo. El área arqueológica tras la época romana queda deshabitada y sólo volvió a frecuentarse a partir del s. XVII, coincidiendo con el crecimiento demográfico de época moderna, como muestra la construcción de una ermita. Todo ello nos lleva a plantear cuesti…
Manifest Sapiehów z 6 marca 1702 roku
2017
The second half of the 17th century history of the Great Duchy of Lithuania was dominated by the hegemony of two families: the Pac family and the Sapieha family. The latter managed to seize control over all spheres of public life and made decisions regarding the attitude of Lithuania with regard to the king and the Republic of Poland. The period of domination of the Sapieha family dates from 1685 to the early 1690s., when the plans of Jan III Sobieski, who attempted to build a political force that could withstand and counterbalance the influence of the Sapieha family, started to come to fruition. This, in turn, resulted in armed conflicts in the late 1690s aimed against the Sapieha family a…
Oficery pol’skoj i litovskoj armii v 1717-1733 gg
2017
One of the elements of the process of modernization of the two armies of the Poland in the second and third decade of the eighteenth century was an attempt to improve the quality of the officers' staff.However, it took place only in the foreign part of the crown. In the years 1717-1724, its corps of officers was filled by a large group, over 100 officers, who possessed some professional experience of military service in the armies of Western Europe, primarily in Saxony. This undoubtedly contributed to the loyalty of this officer corps to the king, but did not lead to the strengthening of the military capabilities of the Polish army.
Meo iussu et auspicio… Aethiopiam… perventum est (Aug. RG 26, 5). Scenari politico-economici, echi propagandistici e suggestioni espansionistiche del…
2016
Within the constant research of symmetries between the policies of Augustus and Mussolini, although many were the merits of Augustus (the conquest of Ethiopia marked the culmination of the myth of Romanity and the highest level of consensus towards the regime), the military expedition against the ancient Ethiopia (Res Gestae 26), carried out on behalf of Augustus by the prefect of Egypt Publius Petronius : the background of this campaign was a series of events that took place in the decade 30 to 20 B.C. and that can be reconstructed through sources such as Strabo, Pliny the Elder and Cassius Dio, as well as epigraphic evidence. In this specific instance, to find out the real reason of Petro…
Le tre vite di un’effigie onoraria: usi e abusi di un ritratto virile dall’agorà/foro di Alesa (Sicilia)
2021
L’articolo esamina una testa maschile dall’agorà/ foro di Alesa, analizzando le tracce che ne testimoniano tre fasi di vita, consentendo di cogliere dinamiche e meccanismi della pratica onoraria e dei processi inversi di oblio o cancellazione della memoria. In origine la testa faceva parte con ogni probabilità di una statua augustea togata velato capite; nella sua seconda vita, viene trasformata in un ritratto di giovane principe della prima età costantiniana (probabilmente Licinio II, cui si riferisce anche una dedica alesina); nella fase finale, essa subisce abuso e viene sfregiata negli organi sensoriali. Anche abbattuta e vandalizzata, l’opera costituisce una presenza attiva nel centro …
