"Temples were omnipresent in the City of Rome during Antiquity, and they dominated the surrounding spaces by virtue of both their status as sacred buildings and their imposing, richly decorated architecture. This book leads us through the sculptural decoration of Rome's temples and, especially, the tympana's imagery that dominated their facades and conveyed important political messages through representations related to the divine sphere. Although hardly ever preserved in original form, the tympana decorations of temples in the Roman capital can be studied thanks to their faithful reproductions on historical reliefs and some rare imperial coins; descriptions by ancient authors complete the picture. This study is based on iconographic analysis of each known figurative pediment of the Urbs, thereby inscribing the images in their proper architectural, artistic and historical context. The opening chapter is however focused on the architecture and ornamentation of Greek and Etruscan temples which helps us identify, further in the book, the cultural and artistic transfers within the realm of ancient sacred architecture"--Dust jacket.

In this magisterial two-volume book, Pier Luigi Tucci offers a comprehensive examination of one of the key complexes of Ancient Rome, the Temple of Peace. Based on archival research and an architectural survey, his research sheds new light on the medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque transformations of the basilica, and the later restorations of the complex. Volume 1 focuses on the foundation of the complex under Vespasian until its restoration under Septimius Severus and challenges the accepted views about the ancient building. Volume 2 begins with the remodelling of the library hall and the construction of the rotunda complex, and examines the dedication of the Christian Basilica of SS Cosmas and Damian. Of interest to scholars in a range of topics, The Temple of Peace in Rome crosses the boundaries between classics, archaeology, history of architecture, and art history, through Late Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the early modern period.

Les fontaines monumentales constituaient des marqueurs essentiels du paysage urbain de l'Antiquité. Dans les villes du Maghreb romain et tardo-antique, elles occupaient une place privilégiée que leur accordaient peu d'autres régions de l'empire. Cet ouvrage prend en considération les provinces romaines d'Afrique, entre Atlantique et Tripolitaine, au cours des six premiers siècles de notre ère. Les nalyses et les résultats de cette recherche se fondent sur un catalogue d'édifices et un corpus épigraphique inédits. Soulignant les enjeux passés et présents dans l'étude de l'hydraulique antique, l'enquête retrace l'histoire des explorations archéologiques en Afrique du Nord, pour s'intéresser ensuite aux relations entre terminologie et classifications typologiques modernes et dresser un tableau de l'évolution morphologique des fontaines monumentales antiques. L'analyse technique et architecturale des édifices constitue le coeur de cette étude qui prend également en compte la gestion des aménagements hydrauliques et la perception des fontaines dans le tissu urbain. Il s'agit ici de considérer les fontaines monumentales comme des composantes de la ville et du réseau hydraulique. Cette réflexion envisage ainsi l'ensemble de la circulation et des usages de l'eau et ambitionne plus largement de penser la civilisation urbaine, les aménagements de la ville antique et ses transformations sur la longue durée.
