The Heart of Wisdom: Studies on the Heart Amulet in Ancient Egypt
ISBN: 9781407307695 / Angielski / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The heart amulet is one of the most often depicted images in Egyptian art. Due to the scarcity of archaeological information available about the heart amulet, its artistic depictions represent an important and decisive source for the study of the meaning of these objects. We know that the amulet was already in use as early as the 11th Dynasty among the circle of Theban royalty. However, the first known depiction of the heart amulet only occurs at the beginning of the 18th Dynasty, in the Donation Stela, where the object is used by the young prince. This current study focuses on the...

This survey, which centres mainly on Greek sculpture and vase-painting from 600 to 300 BC, examines research over the past twenty years. Organised chronologically in terms of media (free-standing sculpture, architectural sculpture, luxury items, ceramics), the chapters discuss polychromy, the ethics of collecting and the relationship between scenes of myth and everyday life. Attention is also paid to new approaches that question the concept of 'art' in Classical Greece (what is known as the 'paradigm shift') in which the purposes, contexts and effect of material culture are given greater...

The Theatre of Diokaisareia
ISBN: 9783110222210 / Angielski / Twarda / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The theatre of Diokaisareia (Cilicia, Asia Minor) has been partially excavated in 1993 by a team of Turkish archaeologists, when a large part of the cavea and part of the scaena have been brought to light. On this occasion many elements of the architectural decoration were uncovered and a significant fragment of the dedicatory inscription was rediscovered. This text allows to date the building during the principate of Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus, making this theatre the only dated monument so far in Roman Cilicia. Now the remains have been studied within the German research...

From Pella to Gandhara: Hybridsation and Identity in the Art and Architecture of the Hellenistic East
ISBN: 9781407307794 / Angielski / Miękka / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Alexander the Great's campaigns in the East brought the Greek and Eastern worlds in closer contact than was possible in previous centuries. While Greeks and non-Greeks had lived alongside each other for centuries before Alexander's conquest of the East, it was during the Hellenistic period that a more direct interaction of cultures occurred. The material evidence from the lands that formed part of Alexander's empire, in combination with contemporary theoretical approaches, can hopefully lead to attempts to answer why specific borrowings occurred as well as how such borrowings are...

This volume presents the results of the ceramic survey in the Roman town of Diokaisareia in Rugged Cilicia (southern Turkey).

Steinfachwerk in Pompeji: Bautechnik Und Architektur
ISBN: 9789050631181 / Angielski / Twarda / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The oldest still visible traces of domestic architecture in Pompeji show two construction techniques: opus quadratum (ashlar masonry) and opus africanum (limestone framework). These techniques were applied together in the same building, each for a specific purpose. Whereas ashlar masonry was always used in a consistent manner, the walls of limestone framework display a greater variety, which can be classified on the basis of construction techniques. This research has taken also into account the composition of the clay mortar which is typical for this period. After a relative chronology was...

ISBN: 9781841717609 / Angielski / Miękka / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Roman 'small towns' were an important link between the urban civitas capitals and the rural population and offer an ideal case study for examining the extent of Roman influence permeating into the rural provinces. Thomas Rust's study looks at 67 Romano-British sites, including Alcester, Bath, Cambridge, Dragonby, Ilchester, Richborough, Rochester and Whitchurch, exploring the extent to which they adopted and adapted to Roman cultural influences.

Nebenraumdekorationen Des 2. Und 3. Jahrhunderts in Italien
ISBN: 9783110175394 / Angielski / Twarda / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Thema der vorliegenden Untersuchung ist die 'monochrome' Wandmalerei der mittleren und spaten Kaiserzeit in Italien: Sie findet sich in Schlafraumen, Korridoren und Wirtschaftsraumen, aber auch in den eher bescheidenen Wohnraumen der armeren Bevolkerungsschichten. Diese sogenannten 'Nebenraumdekorationen' sind bisher nicht als eine eigenstandige Dekorationsgattung betrachtet worden. Doch zeigt sich, da auch sie eine - von den Hauptraumdekorationen unabhangige - stilistische Entwicklung durchlaufen, die eine chronologische Beurteilung ermoglicht. Die uberwiegend aus Ostia und Rom... Thema der vorliegenden Untersuchung ist die 'monochrome' Wandmalerei der mittleren und spaten Kaiserzeit in Italien: Sie findet sich in Schlafraume... |

The Artists of the Ara Pacis: The Process of Hellenization in Roman Relief Sculpture
ISBN: 9780807868997 / Angielski / Miękka / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Ara Pacis Augustae, or Altar of Augustan Peace, was built to commemorate the return to Rome of the emperor Augustus and his general Agrippa, who had been away for many years on military campaigns. Dedicated in 9 B.C., the monument consists of an altar and surrounding wall, both decorated with a series of processional friezes. Art historians and archaeologists have made the Ara Pacis one of the best-known, most-studied monuments of Augustan Rome, but Diane Conlin's reassessment of the artistic traditions in which its sculptors worked makes a groundbreaking contribution to this scholarship....
