Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates the formal aspects of the bath-gymnasium complex plan type which was developed in Asia Minor during the Roman era in relation to the development of the the imperial thermae in Rome, the capital city of the Roman Empire. Close resemblances in the architectural configuration of bath-gymnasium complexes and imperial thermae are analyzed in order to provide complementary insight concernin the evolution of Roman bath architecture and bathing tradition. The comparative investigation of the formal aspects of the plan types reveals the contribution of Asia Minor and its role in influencing the architectural developments in the capital. The thesis concentrates on the development of the bath-gymnasium complex plan type in Asia Minor and the imperial thermae in Rome in order to elucidate the outcomes of mutual influence in criss-crossing Greek and Italic features. Crucial to this investigation ,s the understanding of the multiple effects of historical processes such as Hellenization, Romanization and urbanization that were synthesized in the bath architecture of the capital and the provinces. Also, the symbolic, cosmological, and political aspects of Roman bath architecture are highlighted ,n this thesis.

The project deals with the study of recreational facilities named Roman spa and sauna world. A new building has been associated with the proposed aquacenter "Water Temple Brno", which is by its character and by the capacity predestined to be a multifunctional main "water world" in Brno. The aim of this study is to design a wellness center that would cover the capacity requirements resulting from population density of the city of Brno, that would architectural and urban correspond with the site, and last but not least, offering a wide range of comfortable services covering the needs of potential customers. As a result, it was suggested modern wellness center, does not disturb the landscape construction sites, understated building that more than itself prefers landscape scenery around and its design slightly underscores the balance between nature and human work planted in it.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the Christian context of the former pagan sanctuary of Zeus Labrandeusin Caria during the Early Byzantine period, ca. 325-730 A.D. The focus is on the church, positioned outside the pagan sanctuary’s temenos area. The architecture of the church has been empirically analysed. It is argued that the church shows strong Syrian influences. The Syrian features are a tripartite sanctuary enclosed by a straight back wall, an interior supported by pilasters and a west part with two towers. The study of the architecture has also been used in an attempt to discuss the liturgy at Labraunda.The finds from the excavations of 1951-2005 have been categorized and examined in order to establish a terminus post quem for the Christian presence at the site of the church. This has been crucial for the dating of the church. Furthermore, the finds illustrate the social and economic conditions that prevailed at Labraunda during the Early Byzantine period. Finally, this study tries to enlighten the process of transition from a pagan sanctuary into a Christian place of worship.

Whitmore, Alissa Marie. "Small finds and the social environment of the Roman baths." Diss., University of Iowa, 2013. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/1797.
Full textAbstract:
The public baths, functioning as a hygienic and social center, were among the most important public spaces in the Roman world. While ancient texts give scholars some indication of the social backdrop of the public baths, these records, written by upper class males, are largely silent on the activities of women, children, and the lower classes (cf. Allison 2007a:343, 346). As a result, scholars have only a partial understanding of the bath's social role in the lives of the ancient Romans.
Archaeological assemblages of objects which the Romans lost or left behind in the baths are an under-utilized resource for information on this social environment. To examine the social environment of the Roman baths, my dissertation collects published and unpublished artifact data from 27 public and military baths in Italy and the western Roman Provinces, including Britannia, Lusitania, Raetia, and Germania Superior. 13 baths, whose assemblages are definitively linked with use of the baths ("primary assemblages"), will serve as the basis for this study, while artifacts from the other 14 baths, whose contexts are less clear ("secondary assemblages"), will serve as a comparative sample. These small finds provide data on the social environment of the Roman baths, specifically the genders, ages, classes, and activities of bathers.
To interpret these finds, I turned to Roman small finds scholarship (e.g. Eckardt and Crummy 2008; Allason-Jones 2011), which together with site publications and finds catalogues, provides a starting place for determining the primary function of various objects. Studies which link artifacts with genders, ages, and classes (Nevett 1999; Allison 2004a, 2006a; Allison et al. 2005) serve as a model for my methodology for associating objects with social groups, which incorporates data from ancient texts, burials, and art. Using three different data sets to attribute a gender, age, and class to these objects helps to ameliorate the shortcomings of each, and I interpret associations between social groups and artifacts across multiple datasets as an accurate reflection of the connections that the Romans themselves saw between different objects and people.
Having associated artifacts with activities, genders, ages, and classes, I examined the primary assemblages from the main 13 baths to determine which activities took place and where, as well as the genders, ages and classes of the individuals using each bath. These artifacts, supported by the secondary assemblages, confirmed many current scholarly views on Roman baths, such as the prominence of social display and eating and drinking, and provided new information about activities, including cloth-working and medical procedures, and how these spaces were used, including room multifunctionality and the presence of women and children in military baths.
Since my sample includes a number of urban public and military baths from a variety of provinces and time periods, I also analyzed their artifact assemblages for information on temporal and geographic variations in Roman urban public and military baths. Across bath types, dates, and locations, a number of activities appear as regular parts of the bathing environment, and even less commonly represented activities are not isolated to a region, time period, or bath type. The lack of strong regional, temporal, or typological variation in artifact assemblages may indicate that the social environments of urban public and military baths differed little throughout the Roman period and across the empire.

Davis, Diana Danielle. "A Gramscian Analysis of Roman Bathing in the Provinces." Scholar Commons, 2015. https://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/5465.
Full textAbstract:
This paper argues the institution of Roman bathing was an instrument of cultural hegemony, which allowed the Roman Empire to maintain hegemony over the Roman provinces. Numerous frameworks have been suggested in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between Rome and the provinces. Roman imperialism has been a topic of debate for over one hundred years and the vicissitudes of scholarly thought are highlighted by the changes in the characterization of the theory of Romanization. In the recent past, scholars have sought a framework that could progress beyond the problematic concept of Romanization in order to better understand acculturation in the Roman provinces. In this paper, I provide an alternative method for examining the somewhat hackneyed issue of Roman imperialism. I argue the relationship between Rome and the provinces can be examined through the Gramcian theory of cultural hegemony. Using cultural hegemony, I explore the political consequences of direct change acculturation of the provinces of the Roman Empire. I argue that Roman culture was an efficacious mechanism for the dissemination of Roman ideology and diffusion of the Roman worldview was politically advantageous for Rome. Furthermore, I argue the custom of public bathing was a Roman cultural phenomenon that aided the Empire in preserving their hegemony in the provinces.

A pesquisa tem por objetivo o estudo da arquitetura, dos materiais e das técnicas de construção das casas de banho romanas, conhecidas pelos termos latinos Thermae e Balnea, em seu meio urbano nas três províncias da Península Ibérica - Hispânia Tarraconense, Hispânia Bética e a Hispânia Lusitânia. Para tanto, nos baseamos nas premissas teórico-metodológicas da Arqueologia da Construção e da Arqueologia do Ambiente Construído. Além dos aspectos arquitetônico-construtivos, focalizamos a tecnologia do aquecimento termal em suas mais diferentes instalações estruturais; tecnologia romana de calefação que é conhecida pela literatura arqueológica pelo termo latino hypocaustum. Não obstante, abordamos alguns aspectos socioculturais associados às termas como a prática do evergestismo pelos membros da elite e a romanização como fator de mudança cultural. Ao par disso, tratamos de expor uma síntese sobre o desenvolvimento do urbanismo e a inserção das termas nas cidades. Por fim, analisamos as questões tipológicas e terminológicas com relação às termas romanas.The research aims to study the architecture, materials and the construction techniques of Roman baths, known by the Latin terms Thermae and Balnea, in their urban areas in the three provinces of the Iberian Peninsula - Hispania Tarraconensis, Hispania Baetica and Hispania Lusitania. To this end, we rely on the theoretical-methodological assumptions of the Archaeology of Construction and the Archaeology of the Built Environment. In addition to the architectural-construction aspects, we focus on the thermal heating technology in its various structural facilities; Roman heating technology which is known in archaeological literature by the Latin term hypocaustum. Also, we address sociocultural aspects associated with baths such as the practice of evergestism by members of the elite and the romanization as a factor of cultural change. Next, we present a summary about the development of urbanism and the insertion of the baths in the cities. Finally, we analyze the typology and terminology issues regarding baths.

Full textAbstract:
In the Roman Empire, an appreciation of baths and bathing was among the few common socio-cultural traits shared by people with the most diverse cultural and social backgrounds. Perhaps because of their popularity in antiquity and their archaeological distinctiveness, antiquarians, as well as many modern scholars, have tended to take for granted the function of these buildings and, more importantly, their socio-cultural significance. This is particularly true in a provincial context such as Britannia, where Romanists have been primarily interested in military and public baths, neglecting the variegated field of rural bathing. Focusing on two specific regions, South-East and Central South-West England, this doctoral research reviews in detail the appearance and diffusion of privately-owned rural baths, explaining their chronological and regional variations, their functioning, costs, decoration, and social implications. By looking at this type of built material culture, this thesis aims to contribute to and expand current understanding of the cultural and social changes taking place in Britain following Roman conquest and annexation and during the consolidation of Roman rule. In particular, I have investigated the role that bathing practices had in constructing a ‘middle ground’ between the newcomers and the natives in South-East England and the reasons behind the early appearance of villa baths in this region, sometimes decades before the construction of their urban counterparts. Furthermore, I addressed the later fortunes of private bathing with a special emphasis on Gloucestershire, in the context of the exceptional prosperity experienced in and displayed by this region during the 4th century, and its role within the increased elite competition that characterised late antiquity. Instead of viewing rural baths as merely functional buildings prerogative of the elite, this study demonstrates that their socio-cultural implications were very complex. The archaeological evidence suggests that some of them might have been accessible to at least a part of the rural population living in the surroundings of villas, potentially influencing and affecting the lives and identities of a far larger group of people than previously thought.

Location of aquacenter is based on architectural search study Aquacenter - "The Water Temple" Brno (on development areas which are set by ÚPmB). Wellness facilities are today an important part of the water parks. The designed spaces of Roman baths and sauna world offers visitors the use of modifications of Roman baths and Finnish saunas, as well as other supporting treatments such as various massages, herbal baths, massage whirlpools, etc. It is not just a place to relax or to the curative stay, but there is also included a social function as a private spas (for business meetings), caldarium, possibly tepidarium, a rest rooms and relaxation bar. The form of a building, which is based on the form of the previously designed building of aquacentre, is a block with inclined SE, SW and NE wall (inclination of walls is 20 degrees from the vertical). In the center part of a layout is rest room and bar, along which sides are atriums. Around them are then arranged an individual operating units into single wings. The overall layout is also trying to build on the traditional content and linking space of Roman baths, abide the Finnish concept of the sauna and join both together in related wings. While the traffic of balneotherapy is as a "dirty" separated by hall, the wing with massages and less traditional saunas and spas (such as Sweden, Japan, etc.) together with the water baths wing are separated from the central area by corridor. Accommodation is dedicated the space of the second floor, which does not occupy the whole floor space as a first floor and is arranged in a T-shape. The basement which is partly sunk into the ground is located covered parking and service facilities.

Full textAbstract:
Le paradoxe des écrivains américains est qu'en établissant une identité pour le personnage, ils lui dessinent un contour qui est une limite à ses possibilités de comportement. Le personnage ne peut sortir de cet enfermement que par la fluidité de ses attitudes, ce qui entraine une perte de son moi réel. Cela se révèle particulièrement vrai chez John Barth et Kurt Vonnegut, dont l'oeuvre est analysée ici à travers deux de leurs romans. La structure décentrée postmoderniste qui les caractérise implique une acceptation de la fragmentation et de la dissolution des frontières du moi et impose aux personnages un effort permanent afin de trouver une solution de défense face aux agressions potentielles. Le pouvoir des masques leur permet de maitriser les comportements des autres et de les manipuler selon leurs intentions. L'étude présentée porte donc sur le jeu des masques et sur leur rôle dans les romans The floating opera et The end of the road de John Barth et Mother night et Deadeye dick de Kurt Vonnegut. Elle traite également des conséquences sur les protagonistes qui les adoptent et sur leurs relations avec les autres. Mais lorsqu'ils abandonnent leurs masques, apparait alors leur caractère vulnérable, leurs difficultés a s'intégrer dans la réalité concrète. Ces destins qui suivent des itinéraires sinusoïdaux déroutent le lecteur dans ses efforts pour démêler la part du moi et du masque dans l'action. Le jeu des personnages devient ainsi un jeu de l'auteur avec le lecteur et se reflète au niveau de la narration par une multitude de masques narratifs. . . Procédés qu'il s'agit justement de démasquerA paradox in contemporary american fiction is that writers, in trying to outline an identity for their characters, limit the possible developement of their behaviour. On the other hand, the way out of this enclosure means fluidity and thus, a loss of identity. This is true for the works of john barth and kurt vonnegut, analysed here through two of their novels. The decentered postmodern structure that characterizes them implies the acceptance of the fragmentation and dissolution of the frontiers of the self and requires a permanent effort from the protagonists to find a solution to defend themselves from potential aggressions. The power of masks enables them to control the others and to manipulate them as they like. This study deals with masks and role playing in the novels the floating opera and the end of the road by john barth and mother night and deadeye dick by kurt vonnegut. It also analyzes their consequences on the protagonists who wear them and on their relationships with those around them. When they abandon their masks, their vulnerable selves hinder them from a complete envolvement. Their destinies puzzle the reader in his efforts to understand the roles of the self and of the mask in action. Thus, the relationship between the characters becomes a game between the author and the reader, which mirrors itself at the level of the narration through a multitude of narrative masks

Full textAbstract:
Les Faux-Monnayeurs et Contrepoint prennent tous deux pour modèle l’écriture fuguée et pour référence la figure du compositeur le plus cité en la matière : Johann Sebastian Bach. « Ce que je voudrais faire, comprenez-moi, c’est quelque chose qui serait comme L’Art de la Fugue », affirme Édouard chez André Gide, tandis que le Philip Quarles d’Aldous Huxley plaide pour une «musicalisation du roman» inspirée de l’écriture contrapuntique. Jeu musical, le roman fugué prend, chez les deux auteurs, la forme d’un contrat. Ce contrat connaîtra un retentissement certain chez les auteurs du Nouveau Roman du Gruppe 47 et au-delà : Roger Laporte, Robert Pinget, ainsi que Paul Celan, Friedrich Dürrenmatt et Wolfgang Hildesheimer, et plus tardivement Richard Powers, Gabriel Josipovici et Milan Kundera s’inspireront de la fugue mais aussi de la passacaille et de la variation pour structurer leurs récits. S’érigera ensuite sur l’œuvre de Bach et plus particulièrement sur les Variations Goldberg un nouveau pattern romanesque : le roman de l’interprète. Celui-ci interroge, chez Nancy Huston, Anna Enquist, Yves-Michel Ergal, mais également Dominique Autié, Robert Schneider, Thomas Bernhard et William Coles la figure de l’interprète et s’approprie via le medium du texte et le geste de l’écriture les caractéristiques de l’interprétation musicale. A travers l’étude de ces nombreux romans, nous entendons rendre compte des enjeux soulevés par l’appropriation formelle de l’œuvre de J.S. Bach, du point de vue de la forme même comme du point de vue des propos que cette forme a pu engendrerLes Faux-Monnayeurs and Point Counter Point both use the fugal writing style as a model, and for reference the figure of the most quoted composer in the field: Johann Sebastian Bach. "What I would like to do, understand me, is something like The Art of Fugue," says Edouard Gide, while Philip Quarles of Aldous Huxley argues for a "musicalization of the novel" inspired by contrapuntal writing. In the shape of a musical game, the fugue novel adopts in both authors, the shape of a contract. This contract will impact the writers of the New Roman of Gruppe 47 and beyond: Roger Laporte, Robert Pinget, as well as Paul Celan, Friedrich Dürrenmatt and Wolfgang Hildesheimer, and later Richard Powers, Gabriel Josipovici and Milan Kundera. will use the shape of fugue, but also the shape of the passacaglia and of variation to structure their stories. Bach's work, and more particularly the Goldberg Variations, is then set off with a new novelistic pattern: the performer's novel. This one questions, through Nancy Huston, Anna Enquist, Yves- Michel Ergal, but also Dominique Autié, Robert Schneider, Thomas Bernhard and William Coles, the figure of the interpreter and appropriates, via the medium of the text and the gesture of writing, the characteristics of musical interpretation. Through the study of these many novels, we intend to report on the issues raised by the formal appropriation of the work of JS Bach, from the point of view of the form itself as well as from the point of view of the remarks that this form was able to engender

Desde as décadas de 50 - 70 do século XX que as estações arqueológicas portuguesas foram alvo de intervenções e restauro realizadas sem grande especialização ao nível do planeamento, da coordenação e da seleção de mão-de-obra qualificada para a sua execução. Passados cerca de 40 anos, observa-se que os efeitos de interação dos materiais introduzidos com o substrato original são, em alguns dos casos, nocivos para as estruturas arqueológicas. O presente trabalho consiste no estudo de um monumento arqueológico - as termas romanas da estação de Troia - sob o ponto de vista das intervenções de recuperação executadas no passado e a avaliação do seu comportamento. Com base na reconstrução do histórico das ações de recuperação, foi sistematizada a informação em Fichas específicas. Foram identificadas e caraterizadas (por meios óticos) as argamassas originais e as aplicadas na recuperação, tendo sido feita uma avaliação qualitativa dos seus efeitos a longo Prazo. /ABSTRACT – Portuguese archaeological sites have been submitted to interventions especially since the decades of 50 to 70 of the last century. These interventions have been made without great care in terms of planning, coordination, materials and human skills qualification for the work to be done.

This dissertation aims at developing a study about assessment of past interventions and their side effects focused in a roman Bath of Troia- archaeological site. This work was based on the documentation related with the past repair works that was systematized in specific forms. The original constructive mortars and repairs mortars were identified and characterized using optical means. With the purpose of documenting and assessing ancient repair treatments, a qualitative behavior evaluation was developed.

Ce projet de thèse est centré sur l’étude des thermes implantés dans le quartier périurbain d’Ostie, et alignés le long de la façade maritime. Cette vocation thermale s’amplifie au cours de la période tardive quand sont construits des petits balnea le long de la route côtière.Les thermes de la Porta Marina et les thermes Maritimes, après leur découverte à la fin du XVIIIe et au milieu du XIXe s., ont été fouillés entre 1960 et 1970. Il n’existe pas d’études complètes sur ces monuments pour la majorité inédits.La recherche sur le terrain a été articulée en 4 phases : relevé, stratigraphie du bâti et analyse technique ; mise en relation des bâtiments du point de vue diachronique et synchronique ; étude de leur insertion dans l’environnement côtier ; comparaison avec des contextes similaires. Ce projet présente un caractère innovant en ce qui concerne les méthodes d’analyse : prospections géophysiques, photogrammétrie par drone, photos thermiques, grâce à la mise en place d’un projet pluridisciplinaire avec le CNRS. Un travail de recherche a été effectué sur la documentation des archives d’Ostie, des Archives Nationales et de l’Aérophotothèque. Une enquête a aussi été menée sur des inscriptions d’Ostie, conservées aux Musées du Vatican et du Capitole, et sur les manuscrits de la fin du XVIIIe.L’objectif principal était d’évaluer, sur la longue durée, l’évolution du paysage balnéaire côtier d’Ostie en prenant en considération principalement l’analyse architecturale, fonctionnelle et urbanistique, ainsi que celle du décor.

The aim of this work is on the two main baths complexes discovered in the late 18 and mid 19 centuries, and extensively excavated in the first half of the 1970s: the Porta Marina Baths and the Terme Marittime. Their results were left unpublished, except for few specific studies on mosaic floors, architectonical elements and statuary.On these premises, the field research was organized in four steps: surveying, stratigraphic and technical studies; diachronic/synchronic analysis; interaction between maritime and coastal environments; and parallels with comparable contexts. Furthermore, new technologies have been involved for 3D surveying (UAV-photogrammetry, thermography, geophysical survey) thanks to the multidisciplinary project set up between CCJ, MAP and CEREGE, which turned into an innovative work in terms of methods of analysis.Concurrently, the investigation was extended on written sources based on the documentation of Ostia archives, Archivio Centrale di Stato, and Aerofototeca Nazionale. Ostia inscriptions preserved in the Vatican and Capitoline Museums, and recorded on the manuscripts of the late 18th century by G. Marini (Biblioteca Apostolica) and E.Q. Visconti (BNF Paris), were also included. The main objective was to understand the long-term evolution of these baths in the coastal townscape of Ostia, mainly based on architectural, functional, urbanistic and decor analyses.The project also inquires the legal status of these complexes, their commissioners and property, funding sources, and users

The Swiss theologian Karl Barth’s (1886-1968) relation to the Danish thinker Søren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) is one which has been touched upon repeatedly with regard to influence and parallels. It is an issue that has produced diverse conclusions ranging from that of T. F. Torrance, who believed Barth to have been influenced by Kierkegaard to an extent even unknown to himself, to the likes of Bruce McCormack who views the affinity as exaggerated. However, this intriguing relationship refuses a conclusive position regarding the extent to which Barth had been influenced by Kierkegaard; any attempt that seeks to resolve this question disregards both the complexity of Barth’s thought and the sheer range of thinkers who had contributed to his theological development. Moreover, Barth’s own comments on the influence of Kierkegaard on his development complicate the investigation into the relationship between the two. Whereas in 1922 Barth admits a dependence on Kierkegaard in the second edition of The Epistle to the Romans, by 1963 he has assumed a more cautious relation to Kierkegaard.

Atualmente, como parte integrante do setor da saúde e bem-estar, veio cada vez mais responder aos interesses e às necessidades de uma sociedade que procura a evasão em relação ao ritmo quotidiano acelerado. Presenciam-se novas tendências, práticas e exigências, e com isto, uma adaptação dos lugares termais existentes e a constituição de uma arquitetura termal contemporânea. O presente estudo pretende analisar a evolução histórica e arquitetónica do termalismo, ao nível internacional e nacional, e compreender quais os elementos que constituem o microcosmo termal. Porém, toma-se como foco principal compreender de que modo se pode dar continuidade à memória e à identidade dos banhos romanos – cerne da prática termal –, para promover o termalismo atual. Partindo desta premissa, toma-se como objeto de estudo a Quinta das Janelas, em Óbidos. Pela existência de uma nascente termal e a sua proximidade a umas termas romanas, representa um caso ideal para responder às questões anteriormente referidas e para a constituição de um novo núcleo termal. Com a proposta de uma estância termal, abordada no último capítulo, procura-se explorar um novo tipo de termalismo a partir da reinterpretação e reinvenção dos banhos romanos, com base numa linguagem arquitetónica contemporânea, evocando as raízes de uma prática ancestral
ABSTRACT: It would be the Roman civilization to contribute to the evolution of the practice of the baths, constituting the beginning of a thermal culture that has endured until the present day under the concept of thermalism. Nowadays, as an integral part of the health and wellness sector, it has increasingly responded to the interests and needs of a society that seeks to evade the accelerated pace of life. New trends, practices and requirements are present, and with this, the adaptation of the existing thermal places and the constitution of a contemporary thermal architecture. The present study intends to analyze the historical and architectural evolution of thermalism, on international and national level, and to understand which elements constitute the thermal microcosm. However, the main focus is to understand how to continue the memory and identity of the Roman baths - the heart of the thermal practice - to promote the current thermalism. In this context, Quinta das Janelas, in Óbidos, was chosen as object of study. Due the existence of a thermal spring and the proximity to a Roman Thermal Bath, it represents an ideal case to answer the previously mentioned questions and to constitue a new thermal core. With the proposal of a Spa, discussed in the last chapter, it is tried to explore a new type of thermalism based on the reinterpretation and reinvention of the Roman Baths, through the use of a contemporary architectural language, evoking the roots of an ancestral practice.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the neglected architectural decoration from the late antique Mediterranean city (ca. 300-650 A.D.). It aims to address the omission in scholarly literature of any discussion about the decoration of non-monumental secular buildings, namely porticoes flanking streets, agorai, macella and ornamental plazas, small public baths, shops/workshops and ‘middle class’ houses. The decoration of non-monumental secular buildings has been overlooked at the expense of more lofty buildings and remains thus far one of the least known aspects of the late antique city. Considering that public porticoes and their associated structures (shops and workshops), along with small public baths and ‘middle class’ houses were crucial elements and accounted for the large part of any urban built environment starting from the Hellenistic period, the examination of their architectural decoration in this thesis represents the first attempt to redress this imbalance. Drawing upon an array of archaeological evidence, written sources, and depictions this thesis attempts to reconstruct how public porticoes, small public baths, shops/workshops, and ‘middle class’ houses might have looked on a daily basis. The geographical area entailed in this study presents more challenges than when focusing on a single site or province. Such a cross-regional approach of the topic allows to consider the decoration of public these structures as both as part of the history of individual cities and as part of Mediterranean-wide trends, guiding as such toward a more reliable visualisation of the late antique built environment. The picture conveyed in the Mediterranean cities is inevitably not the same. It is argued that as much as they shared similarities on the decoration of these structures, so did they also vary. The topic of this thesis is broad and definite answers cannot be given, nevertheless, it is hoped that a preliminary synthesis can be offered as a basis for future work.

Full textAbstract:
Une monographie sur la ville antique de Sura s’imposait pour mettre l’accent sur un site-clef, peu étudié, parmi les villes fortifiées du Moyen-Euphrate. L’objectif de ce travail est d’en offrir une description et une analyse poussées et d’élargir le champ des recherches à l’ensemble de la région. À 22 km à l’ouest de Raqqa et à 29 km au nord de Resafa, à l’emplacement du village moderne d’«el-Hammam», Sura (autrefois «Souriya») domine la rive droite de l’Euphrate. Le site est une agglomération fortifiée de forme rectangulaire (76,5 ha) divisée en deux parties, enceinte nord-est et enceinte sud-ouest. Nous présentons Sura de l’époque romaine jusqu’au début de l’époque omeyyade (Ier-VIIIe s.), d’après les résultats de nos recherches qui, entre 2003 et 2011, se sont concentrées sur trois pôles : fortifications, structures domestiques et édifices civils (fouilles intra-muros), nécropole(fouilles extra-muros). Nous étudions ensuite sa culture matérielle à travers le mobilier archéologique et les éléments architecturaux issus des fouilles. Les résultats de ces recherches doivent enrichir le dossier des sites de référence de l’Antiquité tardive pour la région de l’Euphrate et de la Syrie du Nord, en offrant une base de comparaison de premier ordre pour l’architecture civile et funéraire et, surtout, pour le matériel céramique, le verre, les inscriptions. Occupant une position géographique stratégique, Sura fut florissante pendant l’époque romaine et byzantine, jusqu’à la conquête arabe de la région en 639-640, qui scella son déclin – contrairement aux autres villes de l’Euphrate –, puis elle ne fut plus occupée que par des chrétiens locaux, dans des habitats modestesA monograph about the ancient city of Sura was necessary in order to bring to light a site little studied so far, in spite of its key importance among the Middle Euphrates fortified towns. The present work aims at offering a thorough description and analysis of it, while broadening the scope of comparison to its larger region. Sura(previously “Suriya”) is situated 22 km west of Raqqa and 29 km north of Resafa, on the location where nowadays stands the village of “el-Hammam”, overlooking the right bank of the river Euphrates. The site, a fortified agglomeration of rectangular shape (76,5 ha), is divided into two parts, the northeast and the southwest enclosures. We present Sura from Roman times until the beginning of the Umayyad period (1st-8th cent.), through the results of our researches, which, from 2003 to 2011, have been focusing, intra-muros, on its fortifications, on its domestic and public structures, and, extra-muros, on its necropolis, then through its material culture, that is, thesmall finds and architectural elements. Such a research should contribute to enhancing the extant knowledge about Late Antiquity in the Euphrates region and North Syria, by bringing forth an additional reference site, especially for civil and funerary architecture and, above all, pottery, glass, and inscriptions. The floruit of Sura, set in a strategic location, lasted from the Roman through Byzantine times, until the Arab conquest of the region, in 639-640, threw it into oblivion – a fate not shared by other cities on the Euphrates. Afterwards, only local Christians maintained some modest settlement there

Full textAbstract:
Le modèle formel de la variation sur thème, qui est célèbre surtout à cause de son emploi en tant que principe de composition musical – notamment pour les développements que y ont apporté des artistes comme Bach, Beethoven ou Schönberg -, toutefois n’épuise pas ses potentialités expressives exclusivement dans le cadre de cet art.Dans le roman, notamment, l’adoption du principe de composition nommé variation sur thème, qui implique la présentation du même thème (ou motif) par de perspectives différentes (que peuvent correspondre au point de vue des diverses personnages ou à la distance temporelle différente prise en rapport à la narration du même événement), semble se présenter comme un expédient idéalement fonctionnel à l’obtention de l’objectif cognitif le principal de cet art, qui concerne le dévoilement de la substantielle relativité de toutes les vérités apparentes. Alors que de romanciers tel que Milan Kundera ou Danilo Kiš, dans leurs œuvres, semblent avoir interprété le modèle des variations comme un principe fonctionnel à la réalisation d’une structure organique et unitaire, parfaitement concentrée autour du thème, dans d’autres romans contemporains, par exemple dans Si une nuit d’hiver un voyageur (1979) de Italo Calvino o dans Les variations Goldberg (1981) di Nancy Huston, les variations assument une disposition de type sériel.Dans ces derniers cas, la forme de la variation sur thème est utilisée, plutôt que comme un modèle de composition, comme un principe de désagrégation de la matière romanesqueTheme and variation, a formal technique that is popular mainly through its applications within music, in particular thanks to contributions by artists such as Bach, Beethoven or Schönberg, nevertheless has expressive potentials that go beyond the boundaries of this art. In particular, it is in the novel that the use of variation as a composing principle, implying the presentation of a single central theme or motif by different perspectives (that may correspond to the point of view of different characters, or to different amounts of time elapsed from the actual happening of an event to its narration), seems to lend itself as the ideal device to achieve the main cognitive objective of this art, that is the unveiling of the substantial relativity of all things.While novelists such has Milan Kundera or Danilo Kiš seem to have developed, in their work, the theme and variation technique as a principle that is functional to an organic and uniform form of composition, ideally focused on a single theme, in other novels, such as If on a winter's night a traveler (1979) by Italo Calvino or Variations Goldberg (1981) by Nancy Huston, the variations are disposed so as to acquire a serial connotation. In those latter cases, the theme and variation technique is used as a functional principle for the disaggregation of the matter of the novel, rather than as a composition technique

Depuis une dizaine d’année, plusieurs études renouvèlent considérablement nos connaissances au sujet des établissements thermaux publics et de leur pratique au Proche-Orient. Malheureusement, aucune synthèse envisageant le phénomène balnéaire dans une perspective d’histoire des mentalités au sein d’une seule cité ne semble avoir été réalisée. Fondé sur une approche archéologique et architecturale, ce travail a pour premier objectif de proposer une synthèse diachronique de l’évolution des huit établissements de bains publics actuellement connus à Gerasa et de leur pratique au cours de l’histoire. La situation observée dans l’ancienne cité de la Décapole est ensuite confrontée à la pratique thermale dans l’antiquité au Proche-Orient, telle qu’elle est aujourd’hui appréhendée, permettant ainsi d’en dégager les correspondances, les dissemblances et les caractéristiques propres au corpus de Gerasa. S’appuyant sur une méthodologie originale, cette étude souligne le rôle profondément hybride de ces établissements disposant naturellement d’installations permettant le nettoyage du corps mais également d’espaces spécifiques et indépendants pour lesquels les fonctions civique, politique et religieuse peuvent être supposéesFor a decade, several studies have renewed significantly our knowledge about public baths and their practice in the Middle East. Unfortunately, no synthesis considering the bathing phenomenon in a diachronic perspective of history of mentalities in a single city appears to have been carried out. Based on an archaeological and architectural approach, this work at first intended to propose a diachronic synthesis of the evolution of eight public bath buildings currently known in Gerasa and their practice in history. The situation in the City of the Decapolis is then confronted to the practice of public bath in Antiquity in the Middle East, as it is known today, allowing to identify matches, differences and characteristics of the corpus of Gerasa. Based on an original methodology, this study highlights the deeply hybrid role of these institutions with natural facilities for the cleaning of the body but also specific and independent spaces for which civic, political and religious functions may be assumed

Full textAbstract:
This thesis argues that Barth’s asymmetrical structuring of the Trinity in I/1, his doctrine of election in volume II, his concept of the humanity of Christ as the imago Dei in III/2 and his account of the obedience of the Son being reflected in his incarnate life, as detailed in IV/1 and IV/2, are not just coherent but mutually reinforcing. The thesis demonstrates that Barth uses a nexus of crucial terms, including ‘correspondence’ [Entsprechung], ‘reflection’ [reflex/Abbildung] and ‘overflowing’ [Ueberstroemen], to express that God’s actions and relationships ad extra reveal who God is. The concept of ‘correspondence’, tentatively present in the first two volumes, gathers pace through III/2 and achieves full force in volume IV, where the obedience of Christ in IV/2 ‘reflects’ or ‘mirrors’ the obedience of the Son in IV/1. Crucially, the fact that the economic Trinity ‘reflects’ the immanent Trinity, or (differently stated) that the immanent Trinity ‘overflows’ into the economy, establishes a direction, an asymmetry, to the relationship of ‘correspondence’. In ch. II of the thesis we argue that the asymmetry developed in the doctrine of the Trinity in I/1 is the basis for this asymmetric correspondence. Barth describes the triune life as one of giving and receiving existence, suggesting a divine order with an irreversible direction, an asymmetric order. This is shown to be particularly evident in Barth’s defence of the filioque clause which enables him to claim that the Spirit is the one in whom the ruling Father and obedient Son are united ad intra. On this basis we argue, in ch. III, that, when Barth revises his doctrine of election, he comes to see it as the event of triune reflection: the Father, Son and Spirit electing to reflect who they are with a direction of determination, an asymmetry, which is irreversible. In this respect we argue against Bruce McCormack, who sees election as the event in which God elects triunity. In ch. IV we read Barth’s III/2 account of the humanity of Christ as the imago Die, as an attempt to demonstrate that God’s economy of salvation corresponds to who he is. This theme comes into full focus in the first two part-volumes of volume IV, explored here in ch. V. The obedience of Christ reflects, corresponds to, the obedience of the Son. There is obedience in God. This concept, which so mystifies Paul Molnar and Rowan Williams, is shown to be theologically consistent with a doctrine articulated by Barth some thirty years previously: his asymmetrically structured doctrine of the Trinity.

Full textAbstract:
This Master's thesis takes a look at the construction of the new Roman baths and sauna world with adjacent premises, all connected to the premises in the section TG02, such as the water park, restaurant, administration and rehabilitation. The plot of land intended for the implementation is situated in an undeveloped area in the urban district of Zidenice on the outskirts of the city of Brno. The entire complex of buildings forms a wave landscape with a cube as the centrepiece symbolizing water in a quarry and the reaction to the neighbouring Růženin quarry. The buildings also react to significant visual axes, one of which is the view from the Hady quarry, another of the Hady access roads. Emphasis is also placed on the views from the Roman baths, simultaneously preserving the privacy of visitors. Entrance to the two-storey Roman baths and sauna world is possible from the communal changing rooms in the water park, but also separately. The Sauna world located on the first floor is lit by an atrium that connects it with the Roman baths on the second floor. There are eight dry saunas from different corners of the world, various cold-zones, three massage rooms and three relaxation rooms. A relaxing swimming pool and a fountain in the seating area of the saunabar are significant elements of the central space. Located inside the Roman baths are nine heating rooms all of different temperatures and moisture levels, a large cooling room, and a small swimming pool with an adjacent jacuzzi in the central area, both with beautiful views. From this section, you can walk out onto the adjacent terrain, where there is a large outdoor swimming pool and sauna. There is a polarium, a private spa, a small spa shop, massages and special baths each with their own entrance. On the third floor there is accommodation, a conference room and a fitness centre.

Full textAbstract:
The topic of this thesis is the palaestrae of Roman Africa. Although many examples of palaestrae have been found in North Africa, there has never been a study solely focused on these facilities. They have usually been considered only in the context of Roman baths and as features of bath buildings. This thesis examines palaestrae in a new light and analyzes their role as athletic facilities within the sporting culture of Roman Africa. The Roman provinces of North Africa have yielded a particularly rich body of evidence for athletic games and festivals, making this region ideal for studying this topic.
The concern of the thesis is twofold. The first issue is the design and construction of palaestrae in Roman Africa. There is discussion of their form, of construction techniques, and of their place in the overall design of baths. The second issue is how their form relates to function. There is a discussion of how palaestrae accommodated athletic activities, such as training and competition.
The thesis concludes that palaestrae in Roman Africa were an important part of local athletic culture, used for training and possibly for competition. Greek and Roman models influenced their design, but climate played a significant role. Great effort was made to ensure these buildings were kept cool, not only by placing them in less exposed areas but also by insulating them from the heated rooms of the baths. Local resources and building techniques were important factors in their construction. This thesis includes a gazetteer of palaestra sites in Roman Africa and a catalogue of all inscriptions relevant to the use of palaestrae.Classical Archaeology

Full textAbstract:
Tese de doutoramento em Arqueologia, apresentada à Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de CoimbraMonumentos por excelência da cultura romana, as te rmas públicas foram, mais que um edifício, o símbolo de uma cultura. Primeiro temos uma questão construtiva: as termas foram edifícios tecnologicamente complexos, que foram evoluindo no projecto e estrutura como resultado de um saber acumulado, experimentado no terreno. As novas técni cas construtivas que desse processo resultaram deixaram os arquitectos livres para aumentar áreas cobertas, sem pilares centrais, e para procurarem fórmulas engenhosas de aquecer amplíssimos espaços. Segundo: os edifícios crescem e com eles a demanda das comunidades urbanas por estes equipamen tos, transformados em espaços essenciais no quotidiano. As classes sociais mais elevadas levara m para a esfera privada as termas e fizeram delas balneários privados, alguns dos quais foram símbolo s exteriores do fausto que se tinha, ou que se quer ia demonstrar. Terceiro: as termas transformaram-se em bens politicamente importantes, porque permitiam uma ampla gama de mecenatos públicos, sem pre bem acolhidos pelo povo. Estes edifícios, que empiricamente apenas seriam os locais dedicados à higiene pessoal, transformaram- se num dos locais de encontro e transformação colec tiva da sociedade romana. Talvez assim se compreenda a rápida apropriação deste novo edifício por parte das comunidades indígenas. Nos finais do séc. I aC, as termas eram impostas nos novos pro jectos urbanos, delineados para as novas colónias e futuros municípios. No período flaviano eram já pro jectos directamente associados aos centros monumentais, adaptados à realidade de cada provínci a. Nas cidades da Lusitânia encontramos numerosos vest ígios de termas e balneários, pois não haveria cidade que não os tivesse. Augusta Emerita , a capital da província, com os seus quase 50 exem plos, é um caso paradigmático. Em Miróbriga existem dois ed ifícios públicos que o bom estado de conservação permitiu revisitar detalhadamente. Évora escondeu u mas magníficas termas públicas, mas desmontamos a história dessa parcela da cidade e re cuperamos, em parte, o edifício público. Já a antig a Olisipo foi um desafio diferente, pois tentamos col ocar o que fora visto nos dias depois do terremoto e o que é conhecido nos dias de hoje. Mas foi Conimbrig a o nosso objecto de estudo por excelência. Inspirados no estudo desta cidade, optamos por uma análise contextualizada de cada edifício lusitano. Assim, ensaiamos um estudo e análise do urbanismo d e cada uma das cidades lusitanas onde se documentaram termas e balneários. Não podíamos esquecer nesta equação a importância d a água, e assim tivemos também que entender de que forma cada um destes edifícios fazia chegar a água às suas banheiras e piscinas. Foi esta a motivação, por exemplo, para reestudar o aqueduto d e Conimbriga e a rede de abastecimento e escoamento da mesma cidade. É o percurso por essas doze cidades lusitanas, duas delas em actual território espanhol, que reunimos nesta tese. Abstract Roman culture monuments by excellence, the public b aths were rather a symbol of culture than a building. First, there is the construction issue: t hermal baths were technologically complex buildings that have evolved both in project and in structure, as a result of the acquired knowledge, that has been experienced in this field. The new construction tec hniques resulting from this process, granted the architects the freedom to enlarge the covered areas without central pillars and to search for ingeniou s ways to heat the vast spaces. Second: the buildings increased, and so did the urban communities' searc h for these types of equipment, turning them into ess ential spaces in daily life. The most privileged so cial classes built private thermal baths and bathhouses, exhibiting those as external signs of prosperity ( a prosperity that could be real or just a demonstrati on of it). Third: thermal baths became goods with a political importance, as they allowed a wide range public patronage that was always welcomed by the people. These buildings, empirically only dedicated to pers onal hygiene, became meeting places and led to the collective transformation of Roman society. This wi ll eventually allow us to understand the quick appropriation of this type of building by the local communities. In the late first century b. C., the thermal baths were mandatory in new urban projects for the new colonies and future urban centres. During the Flavian period, these projects were already associa ted with the monumental centres and adapted to the reality of each province. In the cities of Lusitania, we can find abundant tr aces of thermal baths and bathhouses, as they were present in every city. Augusta Emerita , the capital of the province, with almost 50 examp les, is a paradigmatic case. In Mirobiga, there are two publ ic buildings, which the good state of conservation, allowed a detailed revisit. Évora hided a magnifice nt thermal bath -- we have disassembled the history of that part of the town and rebuilt a section of t he public building. Olisipo was a different challen ge, as we tried to show what had been seen some days after the earthquake, and what we know nowadays. However, Conimbriga was, by excellence, our main ob ject of study. Inspired by the study of this city, we have decide for the contextualized analysis of each Lusitania building. We have carried out a study a nd an analysis of the urban planning of each one of th e cities in Lusitania where thermal baths and bathhouses were documented. In this equation, we could not forget the importanc e of water, and we had to understand how, in each building, the water was conducted to the baths and pools. This was one of the motivations for the restoration of the Conimbriga aqueduct and the wate r supply and drainage system of this city. This thesis gathers the route through these cities of Lu sitania, two of them now in Spanish territory.

Το θέμα των ρωμαϊκών λουτρών προσανατολίσητκε σε δύο κύριες κατευθύνσεις: α)στη μελέτη και την παρουσίαση των συγκεκριμένων κατασκευών γενικά και β) στην εστίαση στις περιπτώσεις που έχουν ανεβρεθεί στον ελλαδικό χώρο. Επιχειρείται μια γενική εισαγωγή σε όρους εξέλιξης των κατασκευών αυτών στο χρόνο, αναφορές στην ορολογία, την καταγωγή τους και στο ιστορικό τους πλαίσιο. Πραγματοποιείται ανάλυση του σχεδιασμού των ρωμαϊκών λουτρών, της οικοδομικής τους και των κατασκευαστικών τους χαρακτηριστικών. Tέλος, υπό μελέτη τίθενται τα ρωμαϊκά λουτρά στον ελλαδικό χώρο, όπου με τη μορφή χαρτών και παράθεσης πηγών για την περιπτωσιολογία, όπως αυτή διαμορφώνεται από τα αρχαιολογικά ευρήματα, αποδίδεται γλαφυρότερα η συνολική εικόνα του θέματος κατηγοριοποιημένα κατά το δυνατόν.The subject is horiented at two basic directions: a) the study and presentation of roman baths in general and b)the focus in the documented archaelogical cases in Greece. A general approach and introduction is attempted in terms of in-time development of those structures, terminology, origin and historical context. The design of roman baths, their structural elements and building techniques are some focal points under discussion. Roman baths in Greece are beeing studied. In the form of maps and literature connotations for the reported archaelogical evidences the conclusions are drawn under the prism of an - as possible - general categorization, sina que non for a complete study.

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Arquitetura apresentada à Faculdade de Ciências e TecnologiaMiróbriga situa-se na costa alentejana, num esporão conhecido por Castelo Velho, onde controla visualmente o território. A proximidade ao mar e sua centralidade em relação aos recursos da envolvente, foram importantes fatores para a ocupação dos romanos, que teve início no século II a.C. Graças ao crescimento urbano considerável no século I d. C., foi promovida a Municipium e, no século III d. C. a densidade populacional intensificou-se. Contudo, a população foi diminuindo até que, nos finais do século V d. C., já não existiam vestígios de ocupação romana. A cidade moderna de Santiago do Cacém nasce em data incerta no topo da colina dentro das muralhas do castelo, reutilizando as pedras da cidade romana. Apesar de haver esforços no sentido de valorizar e divulgar as Ruínas Romanas de Miróbriga, o sítio arqueológico ainda revela alguma fragilidade no que toca à relação com o território e à cidade moderna, assim como na relação entre as estruturas internas.As termas de Miróbriga são compostas por dois edifícios que se localizam na zona central do sítio arqueológico, com um declive acentuado que os oculta em três dos seus lados e que a uma cota mais elevada, propicia um escoamento de águas pouco conveniente.A proposta de Reabilitação e Conservação das Termas Romanas procura aproximar o visitante da ruína e protegê-la dos elementos externos através de muros de contenção que impedem o escoamento das águas e de uma cobertura que sugere uma ideia do volume que outrora existiu. Através da utilização de materiais e técnicas de carácter reversível e de instalações amovíveis, a ruína manter-se-á salvaguardada.
Miróbriga is located on Alentejo coast, in the spur of a hill known as Castelo Velho, towering above the territory. The proximity to the sea and its centrality regarding the surrounding resources were important factors for the occupation of the Romans, which began in the 2nd century BC. Due to the considerable urban growth in the 1st century AD, it was promoted to Municipium and, in the 3rd century AD, the population growth intensified. However, the population decreased in numbers by the end of the 5th century AD, until there were no longer traces of Roman occupation. The modern city of Santiago do Cacém is born in uncertain date at the top of the hill within the castle walls, reusing the stones of the Roman city. Despite the efforts to value and promulgate the Roman Ruins of Miróbriga, the archaeological site still shows some fragility regarding the relations with the territory and the modern city, as well as the relations between the internal structures.Miróbriga baths are composed by two buildings that are located in the centre of the archaeological site, with a steep slope that conceals them in three flanks which, at a higher elevation, provokes inconvenient waterflows.The proposal of Rehabilitation and Conservation of Roman Baths intends to bring the visitor closer to the ruins, and protect them from external elements with the aid of containment walls that prevent waterflows and a roof, which suggests a notion of the volume that once there existed. Through the use of materials and techniques of reversible character and of installations that can be removed, the ruin will remain preserved.
