Pintura califal de Bédar (Almería, 355/966)
2020
Esta investigación se centra en un texto árabe pintado sobre un elemento inusual: una balsa de agua para riego en Bédar (Almería). Junto al epígrafe que la data, hay dibujados dos animales cuadrúpedos que quizá representen una escena de caza y una cenefa decorativa; conserva asimismo otros signos gráficos y diseños muy degradados que no ha sido posible descifrar totalmente. Como hasta ahora no se había determinado su cronología, en este estudio he seguido el método habitual en Epigrafía Árabe: dibujar los trazos visibles y restituir después las partes de pintura desaparecida o muy borrada. Como resultado de este estudio queda de relieve el valor de este destacado documento de la cultura pop…
Rewriting antiquity, renewing Rome. The Identity of the Eternal City through Visual Art, Monumental Inscriptions and the Mirabilia
2011
AbstractDuring the eleventh and twelfth centuries the Church began a process of renovation (renovatio) and the city of Rome was given new meanings. Antiquity is part of the identity of the Eternal City; the reuse or reframing of aspects of antiquity inevitably transformed the image of Rome. Public spaces, architecture and objects were given new Christian readings. Inscriptions, present both in sacred and secular settings, played an important role. A similar rewriting can also be found in travel literature and descriptions of the city, such as in the Mirabilia urbis Rome, where ancient monuments were re-interpreted to demonstrate the superiority of Christianity. Inscriptions were used as sym…
Épigraphie religieuse et communautés civiques au Haut-Empire : la délimitation du territoire de la ciuitas Aeduorum aux IIe et IIIe siècles
2013
Since the 19th century, many proposals have been made regarding the boundaries of the territory of the civitas Aeduorum. Although there is general agreement on many geographic sectors, there are still major discrepancies of opinion, principally in the regions of Autissiodurum / Auxerre and Alesia. The religious epigraphy of the Early Empire, in particular the use of a specific formulary, seems to demonstrate a single religious (and political) community in these regions, which would thus have all belonged to the civitas Aeduorum in the 2nd and 3rd centuries.
Iscrizioni tardoantiche su materiali di reimpiego. Osservazioni sui notabili e le istituzioni civiche di Hierapolis nella Tarda Antichità
2017
Il contributo presenta l'edizione e il commento di alcune iscrizioni tardoantiche in lingua greca, rinvenute a Hierapolis di Frigia (Turchia) nel corso degli scavi della Missione Archeologica Italiana. L'attestazione di efebarchi, ginnasiarchi e stefanofori in un'epoca ormai tarda (IV-V sec. d.C.) offre l'occasione per una disamina delle istituzioni civiche di Hierapolis nella Tarda Antichità, in una fase storica caratterizzata da un avanzato processo di cristianizzazione.
Councillors, Heretics, and Archbishops in Late Antique Hierapolis: Recent Epigraphical Findings Concerning the City, its Territory, and the History o…
2018
In the last years the Missione Archeologica Italiana di Hierapolis di Frigia (MAIER) has recovered some important epigraphic documents which offer new data for the history of the city of Hierapolis, its bishopric, and the surrounding territory in Late Antiquity (4th-6th cent.). The most recently published inscriptions are discussed in this paper in their historical context (parr. 1-3) and the development of Hierapolis’ bishopric and its episcopal prosopography between the 4th and the 9th cent. are analyzed through the examination of literary and epigraphical sources and the comparison with other relevant cities of Western Asia Minor (par. 4.a-f).

Base di statua per il defunto M. Valerius Asiaticus Catullus Messalinus, figlio del proconsole d’Asia M. Valerius Asiaticus
2017
Il contributo presenta l'edizione e commento di un'iscrizione onoraria in lingua greca, rinvenuta a Hierapolis di Frigia (Turchia) presso il santuario di Apollo, dedicata dall'associazione dei Greci d'Asia al giovane defunto M. Valerius Asiaticus Catullus Messalinus, figlio del proconsole d’Asia M. Valerius Asiaticus. Il nuovo documento permette di riprendere e approfondire lo studio delle altre fonti epigrafiche e letterarie relative a questo importante senatore di epoca domizianeo-traianea. L'iscrizione attesta inoltre un sommo sacerdote d'Asia finora ignoto, Claudius Zenodotos di Hierapolis.

Le dossier de M. Helvius Anthus. Ou comment une mauvaise édition initiale entraîne la création d’ un « monstre » social
2021
An inscription discovered in Baetica and wrongly read by the publishers, was understood only late. The first reading, erroneous, gave rise to an impossible social situation of the Roman point of view : a slave would have had his statue on the forum of Lucurgentum ! More recent works allowed to correct this initial error and to restore the text, a testimony of the essay of upward social mobility of an emancipated slave, an evergete offering among others a statue of the god Ianus Pater.
