Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FROM THE PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. This book is intended to serve as an introduction to the study of the topography of ancient Rome for students of Roman antiquities and history, and incidentally as a book of reference for those who have any special interest in the monuments which still remain. It contains an outline of the successive stages in the growth of the city, a discussion of the topography of each region and the position of its buildings so far as this is known, and a somewhat detailed description of the more important structures. To facilitate further study, references of two classes have been added: first, to the sources of information in ancient literature and inscriptions, and second, to the most important material in current periodicals and the standard works on topography. This handbook makes no claim to exhaustiveness or originality; it is only a compilation from various sources, which, it is hoped, will form a useful addition to the working library of the student of Roman antiquities. It will be evident at once to those who know the literature of the subject that I have drawn continually upon the labors of others, especially upon Richter, - whose Topographie der Stadt Rom has been practically the basis of the present work, - Lanciani, Hulsen, Jordan, Gilbert, Borsari, Boni, and Ashby. As it is manifestly impossible to indicate in each case the precise amount and kind of indebtedness, I trust that I may be regarded as having discharged my duty by this general acknowledgment of obligation. I desire, however, to express my special gratitude to that master of Roman topography, Professor Christian Hulsen of the German Archaeological Institute, whose discussions of the subject during the past fifteen years have been definitive in almost every case, and whose generosity in the present instance has been most marked.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in The Sites of Rome offer glimpses, sideways glances, and unexpected angles that open up this city-of-texts in its widest possible sense. A play upon the homonyms 'site' and 'sight' in the title points to a shared concern, namely how any of the visible components of Rome-the hills, the Tiber, the temples, the Fora, the Colosseum, the statues and monuments-operates as, or becomes, one of the sites sights of Rome.

Download or read book The Topography and Antiquities of Rome Vol 1 of 2 written by Richard Burgess and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Topography and Antiquities of Rome, Vol. 1 of 2: Including Recent Discoveries Made About the Forum and the Via Sacra Besides these writings, there are the chroniclers of antiquities, and the collectors of inscriptions; not the least useful class of authors among the former, Flaminius Vacca takes the lead: Aldo audrini and Santa Bartoli have contributed to the stock; and Ficoroni has worked his Vestiges into a quarto volume. Mazocchi, Marini, and others, have carefully collected the epigrams and dedicatory inscriptions throughout Rome, which had survived the disasters of the middle ages. In this manner a prodigious mass of erudition was accumulated; until, towards the close of the last century, the study of Rome and its antiquities had been carried as far as learn ing could take it; for it would be difficult to point out a passage in any ancient author, which serves to establish a topographical fact, that had not already been collected by the antiquaries of the two preceding centuries. Something more was now required to give a new impulse and an ad ditional interest to the subject. The system of excavations adopted by the French, and continued by the popes after their restoration, effected this.

Download or read book The Ruins and Excavations of Ancient Rome written by Rodolfo Amedeo Lanciani and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 684 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ruins and Excavations of Ancient Rome: A Companion Book for Students and Travelers In writing the present volume the author does not intend to publish a complete manual of Roman Topography, but only a companion-book for students and travelers who visit the existing remains and study the latest excavations of ancient Rome. The text, therefore, has been adapted to the requirements of both classes of readers. Students wishing to attain a higher degree of efficiency in this branch of Roman archaeology will find copious references to the standard publications on each subject or part of a subject; while the description of ruins and excavations will not be found too technical or one-sided for the ordinary reader. Special attention has been paid to tracing back to their place of origin the spoils of each monument, now dispersed in the museums of Rome, Italy, and the rest of Europe. The reader, being informed what these spoils are, when they were carried away, and where they are to be found at present, will be able to form a more correct idea of the former aspect of Roman monuments than would otherwise be possible. The volume also contains some tables, which will be found useful for quick and easy reference to the chronology of buildings, to events in the history of the city, and to the various aspects of Roman civilization. It may be observed, in the last place, that the illustrations of the text are mostly original, from drawings and photographs prepared expressly for this work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient Rome: In the Light of Recent Discoveries It is impossible for me to mention, one by one, the seien tific discoveries of special importance made under the au spices of the city of Rome; if I did, this Preface would ex oecd in length the volume it introduces. 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.
