Abstract:

Elections and voting were of great importance in the constitution and the politics of the Roman Republic. They also presented challenges to a Renaissance reader who wanted to know where, when and exactly how they took place, challenges that appealed deeply to Biondo Flavio, the mid fifteenth-century historian of Roman institutions. In book III ofRoma triumphans, the first on the government of Rome, he devotes considerable attention to them. This paper is an analysis of this first early-modern attempt to understand the Roman voting assemblies(comitia). In it I compare Biondo's approach inRoma triumphanswith his earlier statement on the importance of thecomitiain his topographical treatise on the city of Rome,Roma instaurata. After surveying Biondo's treatment as a whole I focus on his understanding of the Comitium, thecomitiaand the century chosen to vote first(centuria praerogativa).

Abstract:

In mid-fifteenth century Rome, when interest in the Roman theatre began to revive, Pompey’s theatre, Rome’s most famous, had long vanished from view. Gradually evidence came to light that eventually enabled humanists to locate the site of this great construction. A pioneer in this process of rediscovery, Biondo Flavio in his Roma instaurata and Roma triumphans reported his own and others’ investigations and discoveries, in what amounts to the first early modern attempt to give the theatre at Rome a history. The account in Roma instaurata fed not only into later topography, but also into subsequent lexicographical and architectural works. This paper teases out its interwoven strands of topography, architectural design, and cultural history; it discusses parallel accounts from Biondo’s topographical successors to show how he was understood and how he set the agenda; and it traces Biondo’s terms for the parts of the theatre building through Tortelli to Perotti, suggesting that he may have received help from Alberti.

Abstract:

This article examines two ekphrastic digressions from book 2 of Flavio Biondo'sRoma Triumphans(1459), both occurring in the section on the festivals of ancient Rome. The first is an eye-witness account of a celebration mounted in Piazza Navona in Rome to mark the defeat of the Turks at Belgrade in 1456; the second is an imaginative recreation of the horse race at the Equirria, as Biondo envisions it taking place in the streetscape of ancient Rome. Both digressions serve one of Biondo's most important purposes, the linking of ancient and modern Rome. The aim of the discussion is to demonstrate the importance of visualization in Biondo's framing ofRoma Triumphansas a whole. In this aspect he was a powerful model for later antiquarian writing.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article examines Leonardo Bruni's ideas on history writing, tracing their evolution from 1404 down to the latter half of 1443. It establishes that Bruni saw history writing as a textual activity closely related to, if not identical with, translation. The various implications of this discovery are explored in relation to several of Bruni's major historical works, including the Cicero novus (1415), the Commentarii de primo bello punico (1419), and the De bello italico (1441). The article concludes by showing how Bruni's views - in their final, extreme formulation - were challenged by his younger rival, Biondo Flavio, in the early 1440s.

Abstract:

Francesco di Giorgio, the Sienese architect and artist, visited Rome c. 1470. By looking at his plan of the ‘porticho del Champitolio’, it is possible to reconstruct not only what Francesco di Giorgio saw on the Monte Tarpeo, but also what Poggio Bracciolini, Flavio Biondo, Pietro del Massaio and others saw there. It was apparently a notable site, an evocative ruin worthy of commentary, artistic representation and imaginative reconstruction. Whatever temple remains continued to be visible, however, these were insufficient to suggest that they were originally part of the temple. By the end of the fifteenth century, the temple had been lost. None the less, Francesco di Giorgio unwittingly documented the last standing columns of the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus.
