"This volume focuses on four cultural phenomena in the Roman world of the late Republic - the garden, a garden painting, tapestry, and the domestic caged bird. They accept or reject a categorisation as art in varying degrees, but they show considerable overlaps in the ways in which they impinge on social space. The study looks, therefore, at the borderlines between things that variously might or might not seem to be art forms. It looks at boundaries in another sense too. Boundaries between different social modes and contexts are embodied and represented in the garden and paintings of gardens, reinforced by the domestic use of decorative textile work, and replicated in the bird cage. The boundaries thus thematised map on to broader boundaries in the Roman house, city, and wider world, becoming part of the framework of the citizen's cognitive development and individual and civic identities. Frederick Jones presents a novel analysis that uses the perspective of cognitive development in relation to how elements of domestic and urban visual culture and the broader world map on to each other. His study for the first time understands the domestic caged bird as a cultural object and uniquely brings together four disparate cases under the umbrella of 'art'"--

The purpose and subject of this dissertation is an analysis in space-representation and perspective drawing of Roman and Campanian landscape painting to develop and reconstruct the modes of landscape recognition and spatial perception structures in the late Republic and early Empire. This aim is realized with the help of interdisciplinary methods, as the possibilities, limits and developments of perspective representation are studied on the basis of descriptive geometry, its terminology and theoretical background. Zielsetzung der Dissertationsarbeit ist es, eine erstmalige und genaue Analyse der räumlichen Darstellungsmodi und Perspektiveformen in römischen Landschaftsbildern zu erarbeiten, um ausgehend davon die Strukturen der landschaftlichen Raumerfassung und bildlichen Wiedergabe landschaftlicher Raumzusammenhänge in römischer Zeit zu rekonstruieren. Römische Landschaftsfresken aus drei Motivgruppen vom 1. Jh. v. Chr. bis ins 1. Jh. n. Chr. werden in einer chronologischen und ikonographischen Ordnung systematisiert und auf ihre perspektivischen Darstellungsmodi hin befragt. Aufgabe der Denkmäleranalyse ist es, vorherrschende Strukturen in den Formen perspektivischer Landschaftsdarstellung aufzufinden, um diese in den weiteren Kontext ihres mentalitätsgeschichtlichen Hintergrundes und die römische Darstellungstradition einzubetten.
