ILKKA KUIVALAINEN PORtRAYAL OF POMPeIAn BACCHUS

This book is about the Portrayal of Bacchus in Pompeii. The topic is much studied, and the ancient texts and works of art are mainly well known. The intention of this study has been to collect the various factors together, not only some examples. This idea came from the need to understand better the wall paintings and sculptures in the House of Marcus Lucretius (IX 3. 5.24).

Storia di due collezioni epigrafiche urbane

Il presente volume consiste in uno studio su due grandi e importanti raccolte epigrafiche del Cinquecento, quella del cardinale Rodolfo Pio e quella dei Farnese. Ho trattato di queste raccolte in via preliminare in due contributi pubblicati in altra sede; le versioni presentate in questo volume sono state completamente riscritte e notevolmente ampliate e approfondite. Ho scelto queste due collezioni come campioni anche perché rappresentano due poli molto diversi tra di loro.

Materiality Of Domestic Cult Practices from Antiquity to Early Modern Era

In ancient and premodern societies from archaic Greece and imperial Rome, through the Middle Ages up to Reformed Northern Europe – most homes contained select objects with a religious or ritual significance. Such objects, with a variable degree of sacrality, ranges from altars to everyday utensils. Such objects differed from the most venerated sacred cult items safeguarded in churches, and seen only during certain ceremonies: domestic cult objects may have been touched and used on an every-day basis.
