Abstract:

Les recherches portant sur les fora provinciaux effectuées au cours des dernières décennies ont permis de redéfinir un certain nombre de leurs caractéristiques. L’étude du décor de ces centres civiques dans sa globalité constitue alors une approche susceptible d’apporter une meilleure compréhension de ces espaces. Cette première approche du sujet a pour objectif d’aborder la question du dialogue entre les images présentes sur le forum et leurs contextes. Le décor figuratif permet de définir les principales thématiques, qui sont souvent complétées par des décors non figuratifs, et qui participent à la diffusion de l’idéologie impériale. Ce décor doit ensuite être contextualisé, afin d’en comprendre la conception, et d’aborder la question de sa réception par le spectateur
Over the last few decades, studies on provincial fora defined some of their characteristics. A global approach of their decor can bring about a better understanding of these spaces. The link between the images and their contexts will be examined. The study of the images will be associated with the study of non iconographical elements of the decor in order to define the main themes represented on the fora. The definition of several contexts will help to understand how the decor was conceived and seen at the time

Fai, Stephen. "Bodytemple metaphor: Early Christian reconciliation with Roman architecture." Thesis, University of Ottawa (Canada), 2006. http://hdl.handle.net/10393/29329.

Abstract:

The history of early Christian architecture has been presented as a gradual, typological transformation from undifferentiated residential buildings in the first two centuries, to modified residential buildings in the third, culminating in the monumental Constantinian structures of the fourth century. To rationalize this transformation, a great deal of scholarship has focused on identifying formal, cultural, and programmatic characteristics that might link the domus to the basilica. However, along held view is that the basilica, along with all monumental church architecture, is a Roman deviation in the evolution of Christianity. To support this argument, proponents read NT passages like the body/temple metaphor of 1 Cor. 3.16-17 and John 2.19-22 as indicative of a Christian rejection of Roman and Jewish material culture. These contrary aspects of early Christianity, the construction of monumental churches and the tacit rebuke of Roman architecture in Christian texts, have been characterized by Paul Corby Finney as iconic and aniconic. In an effort to better understand early Christian architecture, recent studies employ models from cultural theory and sociology to reveal the broader context of church building, demonstrating similar patterns of architectural development among other cultural groups living within the Empire. Richard Krautheimer and L. Michael White are foremost in this field and they have provided a solid foundation for re-evaluating the evidence. While these seminal archaeological and architectural studies have provided us with a chronology of formal and programmatic developments for the beginnings of Christian architecture, they have done little to help us understand how early Christians came to reconcile the conflicting ontological demands of being the temple in Christ (NT) with building the temple for Christ (Constantine). In this dissertation, I argue that a reconciliation between NT body/temple metaphor and Imperial Architecture, between the aniconic and iconic characteristics of Christianity, is achieved, in part, through a shift in the tenor of the metaphor that occurs through the second, third, and fourth centuries. The trajectory of this shift is traced from sources in the Gospels and Epistles through the Epistle of Barnabas, Clement of Alexandria, and Origen to the panegyric written by Eusebius for the commemoration of Paulinus' church at Tyre in 317. I conclude that the metaphorical vehicle of the body/temple, first used rhetorically to unify and segregate the Christian community, has a hermeneutic function that reveals an architectural model in Christ Logos.

The Roman Pantheon is among the largest unreinforced masonry dome ever built and is an unparalleled example of the construction capabilities of the ancient Romans. As one of the most well-known buildings in the world, its preservation remains important because of its cultural and societal significance, and the methods used to assess the safety of historic masonry structures continue to be developed, particularly for three-dimensional vaulted forms. Through a study of the Roman Pantheon, this thesis compares analytical and experimental results on a 1:100 scale model of the variable thickness, hemispherical dome. The model is created using additive manufacturing for accuracy. This thesis, using a physical scale model, quantifies the safety of the Roman Pantheon against the two most probable causes of collapse (i) deformation of the building geometry and (2) seismic activity. The structural behavior of the model is compared to analytical predictions of (1) spreading supports, simulating leaning walls that result from the dome thrust or settling of the foundations, and (2) tilting, a first-order approximation of horizontal ground acceleration. The experimental tests lead to the formation of a mechanism and collapse due to instability. High-speed imagery captures the observed collapse mechanisms and failure limits. Experimental results are compared to analytical predictions for hemispherical masonry domes. The results of the physical experiment demonstrate the potential for digitally fabricated scale models in approximating the behavior of three-dimensional structures with complex geometries. The low cost and rapid approach provides a useful method for validating analytical predictions of the limit states and collapse mechanisms of unreinforced masonry structures.

Abstract:

After a brief survey of the changing definitions of Aquitanica I itself, the conceptual evolution of the 'villa' will be examined; and since a reliance upon toponymy to locate late Roman and early Merovingian estates is central to the debate surrounding their nature and composition, a detailed analysis of its limitations will follow. In the process, several common generalisations about this period will be tested for eastern Aquitaine: the extent of depopulation, land abandonment, Germanic settlements, and the change from a pattern of dispersed to nucleated settlements, from Roman farmsteads to mediaeval agricultural villages, Finally, a brief summary of the 'archaeology' of the late Roman villa in eastern Aquitaine will be compared with that of its Merovingian counterpart; and the overwhelming conclusion reached, that the problem Is due to past shortcomings in archaeological retrieval rather than the transformation of the villa into village, which is probably a late rather than early Merovingian process, and which certainly cannot be demonstrated for late Roman central Gaul.

Abstract:

L'œuvre de Victor Hugo témoigne du goût de son auteur pour l'art architectural. Les travaux de Jean Mallion ont montré l'importance des références, tous genres confondus, et analysé l'étroite imbrication entre l'écriture et l'engagement de Hugo en matière de préservation des monuments historiques. Inspirée par les recherches de Philippe Hamon, qui associent littérature et architecture au XIXe siècle dans leur commune aptitude à produire de la narrativité, notre réflexion choisit de limiter le corpus établi par Jean Mallion pour se concentrer sur la représentation romanesque de l'architecture. Avec Notre-Dame de Paris, nous étudions tout d'abord le moment où l'architecture devient matière romanesque. L'auteur bâtit avec des mots et les romans engagent un dialogue avec le savoir architectural que traduit la présence d'une toponymie et d'un lexique spécialisé, garants d'une capacité à construire l'illusion du référent. Nous approfondissons ensuite l'observation des liens entre les éléments constitutifs du genre romanesque et la description, mode majoritaire d'une mise en texte de l'art de bâtir. Le roman accorde à l'architecture une place visible dans sa propre construction et un rôle dans les notions clefs de sa poétique que sont le temps, l'espace et le système des personnages. Représentée, l'architecture est aussi représentative. Ainsi sa valeur symbolique sert-elle l'ambition du roman de mettre en scène l'Histoire, la Société et le Progrès. Le roman hugolien a pour constante d'exhiber le travail de création de son auteur. L'architecture, comme autre expression artistique, comme autre écriture, offre une médiation à cette spécularité. Nous nous intéressons à ce dispositif réflexif qui recentre l'œuvre sur elle-même et en fait un modèle absolu de l'acte créateur. Enfin, nous considérons que la maison d'exil de Victor Hugo, Hauteville House, livre architectural portant signature, appartient à l'œuvre et apparaît comme un trait d'union entre écrire et construire.

Abstract:

Cette thèse présente les résultats d’une fouille archéologique préventive menée sur un site de la région périurbaine est de la ville antique de Beyrouth. Leur étude approfondie montre des changements dans la fonction d’utilisation de cet espace, toujours lié directement à la ville. Son urbanisme s’est développé sur les bords des prolongations des axes urbains. Il n’a été bien planifié qu’à partir du Ier s. apr. J.-C. durant sa transformation en un espace funéraire. Sa division par des limites de terrains servait probablement aux colons nouvellement installés pour leurs activités agricoles, économiques, artisanales, etc. L’installation de constructions monumentales dans ce secteur périurbain n’a commencé qu’à la fin du IIe s. apr. J.-C. C’est ainsi qu’un sanctuaire du culte héliopolitain a été construit dans la plaine côtière, entre les deux voies menant à la ville, au point le plus proche de la mer et sur une falaise. Sa destruction est confirmée durant le IVe s. apr. J.-C.,soit à cause du tremblement de terre du 348/349 apr. J.-C. soit à la suite de la christianisation de la région. Ensuite, ce secteur a abrité plusieurs grandes résidences qui ont été détruites, soit par le tremblement de terre du 551, soit ultérieurement. Vers le début de la période médiévale, l’espace périurbain est a été abandonné pour la récupération des pierres des anciens monuments. Son occupation par des bâtiments ne reprend qu’à la période ottomane
This thesis presents the results of the archaeological rescue excavation of a site situated in the periurban area of the ancient city of Beirut. The study findings reveal chronological changes in the use of the space, that are consistently linked to developments associated with the growth of the city. The site developed along the extensions of the urban axes, but was fully elaborated in the 1st century A.D. with its transformation into a burial ground. Divided by territory limits, the new colonists then most likely used this location for their economical, agricultural, and artisanal activities. The installation of monumental constructions in this peri-urban area began at the end of the 2nd century A.D. A sanctuary pertaining to the Heliopolitan cult was thus built on the plain between the two roads leading to the city, on the “Ras Mdawar” cliff at the nearest point to thesea. Its destruction is dated to the 4th century A.D., either as a consequence of the earthquake of 348/349 AD or as a result of the Christianization of the region. Several large villas were later built in this area and destroyed either by the earthquake of 551 AD or at a later period. With the start of the medieval era, the peri-urban space was abandoned and exploited for the recuperation of stones from the ancient monuments. It remained unoccupied until the Ottoman period

Abstract:

This thesis surveys the evidence for Romano-British houses, with an emphasis on the imported and urban traditions that witness the influence of empire on province. The sample is therefore biased towards high status sites with complex spatial arrangements (i.e. town houses and villas). Chapter 1 explains the value of architecture in the study of social arrangements. Chapter 2 sets the Romano-British evidence in context by summarising research on the origins of the Roman house. Although the northwest provinces generated a distinct vernacular tradition this was inspired by architecural concepts developed in the eastern Mediterranean. Chapter 3 describes construction techniques, and charts a progression from timber and earth-walled buildings to masonry and concrete constructions. Details of building elevation and interior decoration are also considered. Chapter 4 describes the different types of room encountered. Houses were commonly set out over two principal wings, with the main reception rooms found in the rear wing. A portico leading from a front entrance and affording views over gardens and yards usually linked these areas. Building typologies are also described, offering a refinement of previous classificatory systems. The work concludes with a summary of chronological developments and changing social arrangements (Chapter 6). Britain boasted a distinctive range of local architectural styles that were the product of evolving fashion on the period AD 75-150. It is argued, however, that British society was no more or less 'Roman' than provincial society elsewhere in the empire. From the second century onwards there was a progressive move of social activities from the public sphere to the private one, as houses became increasingly important as a forum for the display of social relationships and as places for the representation and reproduction of wealth.

Abstract:

Roman round temples are usually discussed either in the context of round buildings like baths and mausolea or on a case-by-case basis. Both approaches fail to reveal what makes round temples a distinct architectural type and moreover, what reasons can account for their use throughout the Roman world. By examining round temples from the Republic, when they are first attested, to the early fourth century AD, this thesis aims to explain why the round form had such a lasting appeal. It follows a chronological approach, discussing the evidence for individual temples and situating them within their historical, social, topographical, and architectural contexts. In a comparative analysis, the building components, materials, techniques, decorative details, and proportions employed by round temples are outlined to reveal influences on their design. The round temples discussed in this study are concentrated in Italy, Greece, and Asia Minor. While the earliest examples in Rome draw on Italic traditions, from the late Republic, round temples begin to reflect Greek trends. Greek tholoi and the Greek decorative repertory, balanced by Roman developments in design, have a lasting influence on round temples. Based on tholoi, scholars have assumed that Roman round temples honored Vesta and divinized heroes. While they were celebrated with a few examples, the majority were dedicated to other gods and goddesses. As a result, religious, social, topographical and aesthetic reasons are proposed to explain the enduring appeal of round temples. Like the motivations behind their foundations, the plans, dimensions, and proportional relationships employed by round temples are noted for their diversity. For their individuality and inventive spirit, round temples make a significant contribution to the Roman architectural repertory.

Full text

Abstract:

In this thesis the main focus is the varied body of entertainment structures in Pergamon in the Roman era. Pergamon was a well known city in the Hellenistic period with close ties to Athens and continued its standing as a major cultural center through the Roman period. Especially notable is the fact that one of the only three known amphitheatres of Asia Minor was in Pergamon. Since the amphitheatre is a well-known Roman building type with no Greek precedent, its presence in Pergamon is particularly worth investigating. Besides the amphitheatre Pergamon also boasted a well known Greek theatre, a Roman theatre, a stadium and several odea which make the city a highly promising case study for multiple structures of entertainment. Hence the aim is to explore the architectural, social and political implications for the combined presence of these structures all within the same city.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis explores the complexity and fluidity of Egyptian cultural identity in architectural form in Roman Egypt. It covers the period from the Roman conquest in 30 BC to the official recognition of Christianity in AD 325. The thesis focuses on the relationship between architectural form and layers of identity assertion. Special consideration is given to the issue of continuities and changes in Egyptian cultural traditions. Through explorations of arrangement and use of urban space and public buildings, Chapter I addresses the diversity of architecture as evidence for the complexity and permeability of cultural markers of identity, with special focus on the use of temples as centres of local identity. Being a self-evident symbol of traditional temples, Chapter II suggests that the pylon offers a good example of the complexity of identity and the dynamic nature of cultural traditions in the Roman period. Although the pylon appears on the Palestrina mosaic and classical literature on Egypt as a cliché of ancient Egyptian culture, it was not necessarily a marker of those legally defined as Egyptians. The third chapter focuses on different forms of rituals activities performed within or around the domestic space as evidence for the multiplicity of identity, the complexity of Romano-Egyptian society, and the shared cultural heritage of house occupants. Chapter IV discusses iconography in Roman-period tombs as an expression of the fluidity of cultural traits and as evidence for the biculturalism of the patrons. The final chapter deals with the correlation between architectural ornament and Egyptian cultural identity. It focuses on the torus moulding, cavetto cornice, and Egyptian composite capitals with its five-tiered band and abacus both as a reflection of the dynamic nature identity and as evidence for the hybridization of architectural ornament. In the conclusion, I summarize my work and draw out its implications, suggesting that identity was a multi-layered and dynamic phenomenon. The complexity and multiplicity nature of identity left its impact on architecture in Roman Egypt, where there was a close and extremely complex relationship between architectural form and different perceptions of identity.

Full text

Abstract:

Dans la présente étude, il s'agit de déterminer si le décor des romans "gothiques" anglais, combinaison de l'architecture médiévale des châteaux et des abbayes en ruine et de la nature dans ses aspects pittoresques et sublimes, est le fruit de la seule imagination des artistes de la fin du XVIIIe siècle ou si l'on peut y déceler l'influence d'un courant déjà existant. Pour ce faire, il a paru nécessaire de retracer brièvement l'atmosphère où a baigné l'apparition de ce genre littéraire nouveau. La première section de cette étude sera consacrée à cette exploration préalable et à un rappel succinct de l'origine des notions de sublime et de pittoresque. Des théories esthétiques en vogue à partie de la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle, nous passerons à leur application concrète, avec l'examen des constructions architecturales - tant dans le travail de restauration ou de construction d'édifices religieux ou profanes, que dans la création des jardins paysagers. Ces références architecturales ont influencé les romanciers gothiques au même titre que la redécouverte de monuments du passé litéraire tels que Shakespeare, ou la lecture des poètes des premières décennies du XVIIIe siècle, aux vers empreints d'une profonde mélancolie engendrée par la méditation nocturne sur les tombes ou devant les ruines d'édifices jadis prestigieux. La mélancolie est bien la caractéristique d'une époque troublée où violence et sensibilité se côtoient. La malaise ambiant va se révéler propice à la naissance puis au développement du fantastique. Le renouveau celtique avec Ossian "traduit" par Macpherson remet au goût du jour les histoires de revenants, de spectres, de sorcellerie et d'enchantements que Percy exhume également dans ses Reliques of Ancient EnglishPoetry. Les romanciers gothiques vont explorer les profondeurs de l'âme humaine, annonçant, à bien des égards, ce que dévoilera plus tard la psychanalyse

Abstract:

Les théâtres romains, dont on peut observer les vestiges dans de très nombreuses villes tout autour de la Méditerranée, sont des objets familiers et pourtant souvent encore mal connus. Ils n’ont bénéficié que de rares études synthétiques. Inspiré par les recherches menées sur les théâtres et autres édifices de spectacles des époques plus récentes, ce travail porte un regard résolument urbain sur des édifices polyvalents caractéristiques de l’urbanitas : à la fois lieux de spectacles, de vie quotidienne et de cérémonies, lieux de rassemblements civiques et religieux, lieux de mixité sociale. Les innovations architecturales apportées par les Romains à la forme théâtrale inventée par les Grecs leur permettaient en effet de déterminer plus librement la place des théâtres dans leurs villes et de les intégrer à des programmes urbains concertés et signifiants. En confrontant l’analyse des représentations antiques - figurées ou littéraires - des théâtres romains et quelques études de cas archéologiques approfondies, l’objectif était d’explorer et de clarifier l’ensemble des liens qui pouvaient se nouer entre le théâtre et la ville à l’époque romaine, des plus matériels aux plus symboliques. La multiplication des échelles d’approche et l’attention portée à l’insertion dynamique et subjective des théâtres dans les paysages urbains les fait apparaître comme des objets à la fois typiques et singuliers, complexes et immédiatement lisibles et pour finir remarquablement efficaces dans la composition et l’incarnation de l’image des villes
The vestiges of Roman theatres are ubiquitous throughout the Mediterranean Basin; these structures are familiar, yet remain relatively unexplored, with only a few studies considering their general place in Roman life. Inspired by research on the theatres and entertainment buildings of more recent times, this study offers an urbanistic perspective on these multipurpose edifices; characteristic of the urbanitas, these were at the same time buildings for theatrical performances, ritual ceremonies, and daily activities; civic and religious meeting places; centres of social interaction. The innovations the Romans made to the architectural theatrical form invented by the Greeks enabled them to redefine the theatre’s place in the city and to incorporate it purposefully into their plans for urbanization. Combining the analysis of ancient textual and pictoral representations of Roman theatres with archaeological case studies, this thesis explores and clarifies the practical and symbolic relationships between the theatre and the city in Roman times. By broadening the scope of investigation and by exploring the dynamic and affective positioning of the theatre into the Roman urban landscape, this thesis reveals these architectural structures to be simultaneously typical and unique, complex and understandable, and ultimately remarkably effective in establishing and embodying the image of the city

"Thesis presented June 1998, amended February 2000." Includes bibliography. V. I: text -- v. IIa: Figures -- v. IIb: Figures. This thesis demonstrates the falsity of the assumptions that ancient architects followed innate spatial cues or responses in their designs, that ancient people experienced the resulting buildings through the same responses, and that modern scholars can thus reconstruct both the intentions of the ancient architects and the architectural effects experienced by ancient visitors to ancient buildings throught the medium of their own spatial reactions. This underlying belief is contestable given its basis in unproven and untested late nineteenth century theories of perception. The thesis also demonstrates that the assumption made by modern scholars that the architects of the Forum of Pompeii were primarily concerned with uniformly enclosed space, axial symmetry, and orthogonality, is wrong, and is contradicted by the actual form of the buildings around the Forum.

Abstract:

La monumentalisation de l’architecture figure parmi les marqueurs les plus éloquents de la pénétration de la culture romaine en Gaule, après la conquête. Peu de temps après l’instauration du Principat, de nouveaux édifices couverts de sculpture ornementale viennent en effet bouleverser le paysage architectural désormais gallo-romain. Sans précédent dans les constructions laténiennes, les décors architectoniques connaissent dès lors une importante diffusion et évoluent au gré d’influences diverses dont les premières sont dictées par des jalons métropolitains comme le temple de Mars Ultor.Plusieurs auteurs ont déjà proposé des synthèses retraçant l’évolution des décors architecturaux de Rome à l’époque impériale, pour le Ier siècle notamment. Elles sont en revanche beaucoup plus rares dès lors que l’on s’intéresse aux provinces de l’Empire et en particulier au nord des Gaules et aux Germanies, alors même que le matériel y est abondant. Ce constat est d’autant plus vrai à mesure que l’on avance vers la dynastie des Antonins puis vers les Sévères, à tel point que la seconde moitié du IIe et le IIIe siècles sont des époques quasiment désertées par les chercheurs.Situé dans la lignée de travaux récents concernant le décor architectonique « tardif » en Gaule et dans les Germanies (Genainville, Champlieu, Neumagen, Bordeaux, Pont-sainte-Maxence), ce travail propose une nouvelle synthèse centrée sur les deux derniers tiers du IIe et le IIIe siècle de notre ère. À partir d’un corpus réuni au sein des territoires éduen, lingon et sénon, il tente d’une part de caractériser les décors employés sur les bases, colonnes, chapiteaux, architraves, frises et corniches. En mettant en lumière une évolution pour chacun de ces éléments, il est alors possible de dégager des éléments chrono-typologiques. La question du répertoire ornemental est également abordée, ce qui permet de s’interroger sur les mécanismes évolutifs, la circulation des modèles et les différentes contraintes qui président aux changements observés. Enfin, l’étude des blocs permet de proposer plusieurs restitutions et d’ainsi avoir une idée de l’activité architecturale qui caractérise les différents sites observés
The development of monumental stone architecture was part of the most telling clues about roman culture entering in Gaul, after Cesar’s conquest. Short while after the Principate started, new buildings covered with ornamental sculpture created a new architectural landscape in the territories that thus formed the roman Gauls. Even though architectonic ornaments had no precedent in the Iron Age, their spread quickly became very important. Ornaments thus started to evolve, taking monuments from Rome itself as first models ; for example the temple of Mars Ultor.Several authors have already written papers about the evolution of architectonic ornaments in the Imperial Rome, in particular for the Ist century AD. However, publications about the Provinces of the Empire are scarcer, especially regarding north of Gauls and Germanies. This observation is even more obvious for later periods such as the second half of the IInd and the IIIrd century A.D.My thesis belongs to a serie of recent works about « late » architectonic ornaments in roman Gauls and Germanies (about collections such as those of Genainville, Champlieu, Neumagen, Bordeaux, Pont-sainte-Maxence). It focus on a period from the years 130 to the years 230 AD (approximately from the reign of Antoninus to this of Alexander Severus). From a corpus gathered over three civitates (Aedui, Lingones, Senones), my work tries to define which ornaments were employed on the components of architectural orders (basis, columns, capitals, architrave, friezes, cornices), to understand how they were allocated, and to highlight how they evolved over decades. Ornamental repertory is also an important point : it allows to question about evolution mechanisms, patterns diffusion and other reasons that made handcrafters change their carving techniques. To finish, studying architectonic pieces provide possibilities of reconstructing monuments, so as to have a idea of what was building activity like in the three studied civitates

Abstract:

This research investigates the geological character and source of the very earliest examples of fine carving and inscription work in Roman Britain. First to early second century tombstones and architectural fragments at key centres from south-east England have, for the first time, been sampled, analysed and compared with examples of freestone obtained from the Middle Jurassic ridge of England and northern France. The approach employed has been the application of integrated petrology, both to archaeological specimens, and possible outcrop sources. The petrological information/data gathered during the study, supplemented by a range of geochemical information/data, has shown that much of the material traditionally considered "Bath stone" derives from other sources.

Abstract:

La recherche vise à replacer la façade, face majeure d’une habitation, au cœur d’un discours sur l’architecture domestique romaine – lequel a souvent délaissé cet espace. L’étude se focalise sur l’Italie centro-méridionale entre le IIe s. av. J.-C. et le IIe s. ap. J.-C. mais propose également une incursion en Italie du nord. Elle porte sur un corpus constitué de villas de plaisance et de maisons construites sur les remparts de certaines cités littorales : elle s’intéresse donc à une architecture domestique appartenant aux catégories supérieures de la société. L’objectif est de comprendre la place et le rôle de la façade dans la conception de l’espace domestique et de son rapport avec l’extérieur. Trois types de sources sont envisagés : les sources archéologiques, base du travail, les sources écrites, les sources iconographiques. Trois angles d’analyse principaux sont développés : ils définissent une approche à la fois architecturale, spatiale et sémiologique, menée dans une perspective diachronique. Il s’agit en effet d’étudier les conditions et les modalités du développement d’une « architecture de façade » dans la construction domestique et d’en analyser les formes, les significations, les évolutions. Les trois premiers chapitres sont ainsi consacrés aux façades des villas, étudiées dans le cadre d’une périodisation en trois temps. Un quatrième chapitre traite du cas des maisons urbaines de front de mer, qui présentent l’intérêt de posséder deux façades opposées, l’une vers la ville et l’autre vers l’extérieur de la cité : ces domus sont envisagées de manière synchronique, dans leurs rapports à la fois avec l’architecture de villa et l’architecture domestique urbaine
This research is concerned with the façade in Roman domestic architecture, a topic often neglected by previous studies in the field. The study focuses on residential villas and houses built on the ramparts of some coastal cities in central-southern Italy (and to a lesser extent in northern Italy) between the 2nd century BC and the 2nd century AD. This research aims at defining the role of the façade in the design of domestic space and in its relationship with its environment. It brings together archaeological data, written sources and iconographic documents. I approach the subject from three main viewpoints – architectural, spatial and semiological – and in a diachronic perspective, in order to study the conditions and terms of the development of a "facade architecture" in domestic buildings and to analyze its forms, meanings and evolutions. The first three chapters are dedicated to a chronological study of the façades of villas. Three main periods have been defined for this study (2nd c. BC ; 1st c. BC from Sylla to August ; 1st and 2nd c. AD). A fourth chapter deals with the case of houses built on urban seafront. These houses are of particular interest insofar as they have two opposing fronts, one towards the town and the other towards the outside of the city. I study, from a synchronic viewpoint, the forms of their façades, in connection with both villa architecture and urban domestic architecture

Abstract:

This dissertation examines the interaction between leisured movement and space in Rome from 100 BC – AD 150, primarily drawing upon archaeological evidence from Rome, central Italy and the Bay of Naples. This thesis argues that leisured movement was significant and that an examination of the relationship between leisured movement and space provides new insights into Roman architecture, gardens, attitudes to design and space. Chapter one reviews the theoretical models associated with the study of movement and space in various disciplines and utilitizes these approaches to formulate the theoretical basis for this thesis. Previous scholarship on movement and space in the Roman world is also reviewed to demonstrate the need for further study. Chapter two focuses on ancient literature and epigraphy to examine leisured movement in ancient Rome and the spaces identified as locations for leisured movement. In chapter three the Severan marble plan and the archaeological evidence for the monumental porticos and temple-porticos in Rome, the public and urban context for leisured walking, are analyzed. An examination of the relationship between leisured movement and space in high-status Roman villas and residences is undertaken in chapter four. Walking, driving, riding and boating and their spatial context played an important role in these high-status residences. Finally, chapter five examines the relationship between leisured movement and space in Pompeian houses, in order to understand how leisured movement functioned in such houses and to demonstrate that leisured movement also had a role in the lives of those below the top of Roman society. This thesis demonstrates that movement was a prominent leisure activity and that it was a complex way through which the Romans negotiated Greek culture. It also establishes that Rome’s public porticos and portico-temples, which housed leisured movement, were original contributions to the architectural canon. Movement and space were interconnected phenomena that interacted upon each other; the design of private and public gardens and porticos often created an ordered approach to movement and space. In sum, leisured movement is a productive lens through which we can study Rome, her cultural and leisure activities, approach to design and conception of space.

Abstract:

In this thesis, data collected from both previously published material and new surveys conducted using satellite imagery on the architecture and construction of over 2,400 rural structures in nine different regions of Tripolitania and dating between the 1st c. BC and the 7th c. AD are brought together and analysed on a regional scale. The synthesis and standardisation of these data and the creation of new typologies, applicable to structures in all parts of the region have, for the first time, facilitated meaningful comparisons between buildings and settlements across Tripolitania during the period under the study, in a more systematic fashion and on a wider scale than has previously been possible. This first part of this study contextualises the material with discussions on the historical background of Tripolitania, previous investigations and methodological foundations, the evidence for pre-Roman architectures and settlement, and the chronology of rural settlement during the period under study based on ceramic evidence. This is followed by a discussion of the known military buildings in the region, with particular reference to how these structures related and potentially contributed to the development of civilian settlement and architecture. The second part of this study presents quantitative and qualitative analyses of the physical characteristics of the main group of buildings under investigation: unfortified and fortified farm buildings. Discussions of how different spaces may have been utilised and the spatial relationships between the settlement groups formed by these buildings provide insight into how and why different types of buildings developed in the countryside between the 1st c. BC and the 7th c. AD. These analyses demonstrate that the rural buildings of Tripolitania can be seen as meaningful reflections not only of the wide variety of activities taking place in the buildings themselves, but also of the varying histories and patterns of land-use in different parts of the region and even the status, wealth, and socio-cultural structures of the people who constructed and lived in them.
