This book assesses the role of relief in the representation of space in Graeco-Roman artistic practice and its study – from Winckelmann to the mid-twentieth century – when Classical art developed as a theoretical discipline. The role of relief in the history of ancient sculpture has long been acknowledged, yet the problems posed by an engagement with the representation of space have not been a subject of specific and sustained inquiry. Neither a conventional history nor a comprehensive historiography, this book traces the study of relief – of its formal character, its artistic purpose, its aesthetic significance, and its historical treatment. The contribution to scholarship is three-fold: (1) By means of a wide array of examples, the book demonstrates that the visual strategies employed to represent space during the Graeco-Roman period were a continuously evolving repertory tied to the refinement of techniques and the transformation of styles that those techniques brought into being. (2) It examines ideas now commonplace, based on scholarship now long-neglected if not completely forgotten. And (3) it reveals how competing interpretations of the representation of space in relief elaborated new approaches to the monuments and their representations.

The recycling and reuse of materials and objects were extensive in the past, but have rarely been embedded into models of the economy; even more rarely has any attempt been made to address the scale of these practices. Recent developments, including the use of large datasets, computational modelling, and high-resolution analytical chemistry are increasingly offering the means to reconstruct recycling and reuse, and even to approach the thorny issue of quantification. This volume is the first to bring together these new approaches, and the first to present a consideration of recycling and reuse in the Roman economy, taking into account a range of materials and using a variety of methodological approaches. It presents integrated, cross-referential evidence for the recycling and reuse of textiles, papyrus, statuary and building materials, amphorae, metals, and glass, and examines significant questions about organization, value, and the social meaning of recycling.

Recent scholarship has seen a general turn from separate entities to relations and inclusivity, from static and systemic views to a focus on historical processes and fluidity. Dialectical thinking fundamentally builds on the entwinement of social interactions, inclusivity, contradictory relations, and historical movement. Yet, it is underrepresented in current research of Roman society and religion. Therefore, this volume intends to foreground dialectical thinking as a critical and constructive way to expose and analyse the dynamism, diversity, and discrepancies of religion in the Roman world. Based on critical theories and archaeological, epigraphic, and literary sources, the authors discuss cults, ranging from Mars Thincsus and Mithras to Magna Mater and the deified emperors, in diverse contexts across the Mediterranean from East to West (the Hauran, Asia Minor, Jerusalem, Dalmatia, Gaul, Britain, and Rome). Together, they give a taste of the potential of dialectical approaches for enhancing our understanding of Roman society and religion.

Das römische Reich stieg infolge seiner Siege über Karthago im 2. Jahrhundert vor Christus zur unangefochtenen Herrschaft über die antike Welt auf und erreichte im 2. Jahrhundert nach Christus seine größte territoriale Ausdehnung. Dennoch nahm sich die römische Geschichtsschreibung dieser Zeit keineswegs nur der Darstellung politischer und militärischer Erfolge an. Ihr Ton ist vielmehr von der beinahe allgegenwärtigen Behauptung geprägt, dass die Römer der Gegenwart ihren eigenen Vorfahren in vielfacher Hinsicht unterlegen seien. Diese Rede über die eigene Dekadenz gilt als ein herausragendes Merkmal der römischen Geschichtsschreibung und hat die Rezeptionsgeschichte des antiken Roms erheblich geprägt.Benjamin Biesinger stellt daher die Frage, weshalb Dekadenzerzählungen für die Autoren römischer Geschichtsschreibung anhaltend attraktiv blieben und wie diese ihren Lesern plausibel gemacht werden konnten. Mit einem Blick auf die historiographischen Werke der Autoren Cato maior, Sallust, Livius, Velleius Paterculus und Tacitus kann der Autor zeigen, dass solche Niedergangserzählungen ihre entscheidende Wirkung immer auf dem politischen Sektor der Gegenwart entfalteten.
