RODOLFO LANCIANI AND THE SOUTHWEST QUIRINAL: FROM EXCAVATION TO THE FORMA URBIS ROMAE Papers of the British School at Rome Pub Date : 2023-08-15 Brian Brennan
In 1885, during excavations on the southwest slope of the Quirinal Hill, two magnificent Hellenistic bronzes were discovered by Rodolfo Lanciani. Although Lanciani dated the burial of the bronzes to the era of the barbarian attacks on the city of Rome, here it will be argued that the bronzes may have been excavated elsewhere by clandestine diggers and then reburied on the Quirinal slope, in a stash

A HOME IN ROME: VILLA MILLS AND THE PALATINE HILL Papers of the British School at Rome Pub Date : 2023-07-03 Tommaso Zerbi
Prior to the acts of demolition pursued in the ventennio to recover and celebrate the heirlooms of antiquity as the simulacra of a fascist restoration of the Roman Empire, a Gothic Revival villa stood atop the Palatine Hill. A transhistorical palimpsest, this edifice incorporated a portion of the imperial palace that was erected for Domitian after his accession to power (AD 81). Through the disclosure

ESTABLISHING A DYNASTY IN IDEOLOGY AND PRACTICE: THE AEDES VESTAE AUREI OF VESPASIAN Papers of the British School at Rome Pub Date : 2023-06-02 Scott Lawin Arcenas, George C. Watson
This paper uses a Flavian aureus type depicting the aedes Vestae to explore both the ideological and the practical aspects of using coinage to propagate a dynasty. Firstly, we analyse the type from an iconographic perspective and argue that it should not be understood as a simple referent to the building itself, but rather as a complex interplay of different semantic units, intended to convey messages

THE SCHOLA MEDICORUM THAT NEVER EXISTED IN ROME Papers of the British School at Rome Pub Date : 2022-06-13 Mª Ángeles Alonso-Alonso
It has been argued that a schola medicorum (i.e. a headquarters of physicians) existed in ancient Rome. According to this, the evidence supporting the existence of the schola is the plinth of a statue engraved with the text translata de schola medicorum, the epitaph of a scriba medicorum, and a Greek inscription dedicated by a δεκαδάρχης ἰατρῶν, but these sources present some problems when they are

THE TROIA CHRONICLE AND HISTORIOGRAPHICAL PRODUCTION IN MEDIEVAL PUGLIA Papers of the British School at Rome Pub Date : 2021-11-05 Paul Oldfield
Historiographical production within twelfth-century Puglia seems to have been markedly limited, and this frustrates attempts to access internal perspectives on a region which played a pivotal socio-political and economic role within southern Italy as it fell under Norman rule, and was subsequently absorbed into the new Kingdom of Sicily in 1130. It might, however, be possible to bolster the region's

EXPEDITIONS FROM ROME: THOMAS ASHBY, HIS BSR COMPANIONS AND THE ROMAN ROADS OF ITALY Papers of the British School at Rome Pub Date : 2021-10-14 Janet Wade
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.

PANOPLY AND IDENTITY DURING THE ROMAN REPUBLIC Papers of the British School at Rome Pub Date : 2020-06-09 Michael J. Taylor
This paper examines how the Romans in the early Republic adopted Celtic panoply, in the process abandoning Greek-style hoplite equipment. The first part details the Celtic aspects of the major pieces of Rome's new military equipment: La Tène sword, oval shield (scutum), javelin (pilum), mail armour and Montefortino helmet. The next section seeks possible military and cultural explanations for this
