This book was released on 2006 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines terracotta figurines that were deposited in graves during the Roman period. The approach of collecting and analyzing figurines from graves was intended to gather a large and varied sample that would provide a relatively secure timeframe within which to study the types of figurines produced during this period and their patterns of distribution. The majority of the material collected for this study was provided by excavation reports and monographs, which provided a variety of information on the original contexts and the comparable figurine types that have been found in the Empire. The various chapters explore the methods of terracotta production, the major production centers of the figurines, Roman burial customs, a description of the figurines within their original contexts, a comparative analysis of the types and number of figurines found in the graves, and an examination of the patterns of distribution that the material produced when assimilated into distribution maps. The evidence suggests that the high concentration of figurines that occur along the frontier zones of the Rhine and Danube rivers during the first and second centuries C.E. implies not only a surface Romanization of this region but also perhaps that the act of depositing a figurine in a grave was part of the burial customs of the Roman military culture.

Download or read book Terracottas and Plastic Lamps of the Roman Period written by Clairève Grandjouan and published by . This book was released on 1961 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume contains a short introduction, a classification by types, a critical catalogue, a register of the dated contexts, concordances and indexes, and an excursus by T. B. L. Webster on the theatrical figurines. Nearly half of the 1,100 items are illustrated with photographs. The subjects of the (mostly fragmentary) figurines are revealing. To the Greek deities of earlier times are added Oriental figures like Serapis, Isis, Harpokrates, Attis, as well as Egyptian priests and Asiatic dancers. The molded "plastic" lamps that are included in this volume were probably made in the same workshops as the figurines.

Download or read book Architectural Terracottas from the Regia written by Susan B. Downey and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Regia was the house of the Pontifex Maximus, Rome's High Priest, who lived in the Forum. The men who held this office played an important role in the life of the Roman state for centuries: the earliest Regia dates to the seventh century B.C.E., and it was rebuilt frequently. Susan B. Downey has extensively studied the sixth-century phase of the building, and in this valuable work she lays out the scheme for the architectural terracottas. These fragments allow the reconstruction of almost the entire decorative system for the building. Art historians and archaeologists will welcome this book. It also contains much of interest for Roman social historians and for students and scholars of early Italy and its communities.
