Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Archaeology of Rome: The Aqueducts It is impossible to understand the archaeology of Rome without studying the Aqueducts. In every part of the City, and of the country round it, there are remains of them; they are frequently mistaken for something else, and called by other names, misleading those who have not given attention to the subject They are necessarily mixed up with the Therma, for most of the aqueducts were made to bring water to those great establishments. There was also a reservoir of water supplied by the aqueducts under each of the palaces, larger houses and villas, as may be seen in many parts of the Palatine, under the palaces of the Caesars. In their original state the Aqueducts must have been among the grandest objects in Rome, and the most conspicuous in all directions. The principal approach from the east passed between two fine arcades of the aqueducts, one carrying three of them, the other two. These two fine arcades were not more than a hundred yards apart; all the great roads from the eastern side were brought into this space, and certainly, for the last mile into Rome, must have had one of these arcades on either hand: to the left, or south, the Claudian arcade, fifty feet high; to the right, the Marcian, thirty feet high. For the last half-mile, the Claudian arcade was also the boundary of the palace gardens of the Sessorium, the residence first of the Kings and afterwards of one branch of the imperial family (that of Verus or Varius), who resided there for more than a century. That portion of the arcade still exists for a considerable extent, forming the northern wall of that garden, and at the same time part of the wall of the city, Aurelian having adopted it, and incorporated it with his great wall. This portion is thoroughly shewn in my Photographs, as it is a very important part of the antiquities of Rome, and illustrates many points. It was the place where the principal aqueducts entered Rome, and the whole ground is full of remains of them with their reservoirs and filtering-places. The inner side of the wall is the part necessarily shewn, because the outer side is concealed by the arcade of the Aqua Felice, excepting in places where the specus of the Claudia and the Anio Novus appear above it.

Download or read book Art and Archaeology of Ancient Rome Vol 1 written by David Soren and published by . This book was released on 2009-01-09 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classical archaeology was long equated to ancient art history. Today these fields find themselves at a major crossroads. The influence on them--from the discipline of anthropology--has increased substantially in the past 15 years, adding to the ways in which scholars can study the Roman past. The classical archaeologist of the 21st century is likely to be versed in Greek and Latin, computer technology, ancient history, great monuments, various hard sciences such as physics or even astronomy, GPS, GIS, surveying, mapping, digitizing, artistic rendering, numismatics, geo-science, astronomy, environmental studies, material culture analysis and/or a host of other disciplines and sub-disciplines.Universities are seeking specialists whose talents embrace not one but several different fields of research. It is not necessary for each scholar to know everything about each discipline being used within the fields of art history, classical archaeology and anthropology, but these days a basic knowledge of all relevant disciplines is becoming indispensable. This book will layout the basic information and steps necessary to take the beginning archaeologist's search for knowledge of the past and lead them to adventures of the future.

We have discov ered a new archaeological stratum, totally unknown before, the stratum of prehistoric or traditional antiquities; we have discovered a necropolis older than the walls of Servius Tullius, containing more than archaic specimens in bronze, amber, stone, and clay; we have brought to light more than 5 000 feet of the great agger, or embankment of Servius, and ascertained the site of fourteen gates; we have unearthed the remains of numberless houses and pal aces, temples and shrines, roads and drains, parks and gar dens, fora and porticoes, fountains and aqueducts, tombs and mausolea, to such an extent that whereas before 1872 science possessed only approximate attempts at an archmo logical map of Rome, we have put at the disposal of stu dents magnificent ones, covering an area of square metres of the ancient city.

This book was released on 2016-06-15 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Roman Sacrificial Altars, an Archaeological Study, of Monuments in Rome The ancient etymologists derive the word focus from fovere8 and Servius adds in one passage9 that a focus is an indispensable adjunct of both public and private sacrifices. However unsound etymologically this derivation may be,10 it undoubtedly expresses the real significance of the focus, - that it was a place where the sacred fire was tended, at first the hearth of the individual home, the center of the domestic worship, but with the gradual growth of the state religion becoming a necessary adjunct of the public sacri ficial altar. The use of the word in the familiar phrase arae )'ocique11 as expressive of all that was most sacred from a religious point of view was an attempt to unite in one the public and private aspects of religion.

Download or read book A Description of the Antiquities and Other Curiosities of Rome Classic Reprint written by Edward Burton and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Description of the Antiquities and Other Curiosities of Rome "Separate places were marked out for the senators and knights, where each might see the games. These were called fori. The spectators were on high seats, twelve feet from the ground, supported by wooden poles." Dionysius would lead us to think, that Livy had rather represented Tarquin's Circus in too mean a light. He tells us, that Tarquin was the first who erected covered seats, the spectators having formerly stood upon wooden planks. He also divided the whole into thirty curiae. The situation of the Circus Maximus is marked out by nature, otherwise scarcely any thing remains. The curved end was towards the south; the straight end, where were the Carceres, was towards the river. The walls, which surrounded it, and along which were the seats for the spectators, are entirely gone. All that can now be traced is a portion of the bottom of the wall at the curved end. According to Dionysius, the Circus was 31/2 stadia long, and 4 plethra (about 400 feet) wide. It contained 150,000 people. Pliny makes it only 3 stadia long, and 1 wide, containing 260,000. It is difficult to reconcile these statements. It might be thought, that the two authors were speaking of the building at different periods, and that the smaller number of people was contained in the original Circus, built by Tarquin.
