This book explores the complex relationship between production, trade, and connectivity in pre-Roman Italy, confronting established ideas about the connections between people, objects, and ideas, and highlighting how social change and community formation are rooted in individual interactions. The volume engages with, and builds upon, recent paradigm shifts in the archaeology and history of the ancient Mediterranean which have centred the social and economic processes that produce communities. It utilises a series of case studies, encompassing the production, trade, and movement of objects and people, to explore new models for how production is organised and the recursive relationship which exists between the cultural and economic spheres of human society. The contributions address issues of agency and production at multiple scales of analysis, from larger theoretical discussions of trade and identity across different regions to context-specific explorations of production techniques and the distribution of material culture across the Italian peninsula. Production, Trade, and Connectivity in Pre-Roman Italy is intended for students and scholars interested in the archaeology and history of pre-Roman and early Republican Italy, but especially production, trade, community formation, and identity. Those interested in issues of cultural interaction and material change in the ancient Mediterranean world will find useful comparative examples and methodological approaches throughout.

An expansive look at ancient art and architecture over four centuries highlighting the diversity of makers and viewers within and beyond Rome's ever-changing political boundaries Roman art and architecture is typically understood as being bound in some ways to a political event or as a series of aesthetic choices and experiences stemming from a center in Rome itself. Moving beyond the misleading catchall label "Roman," John North Hopkins aims to untangle the many peoples whose diverse cultures and traditions contributed to Rome's visual culture over a four-hundred-year time span across the first millennium BCE. Hopkins carefully reconsiders some of the period's most iconic works by way of the many practices and peoples bound up with them. Some of these include the extraordinary and complex effort to build the Temple of Jupiter; the creative actions and diverse encounters tied to luxury objects like the Ficoroni Cista; and the important meanings held by sacred temple sculpture and votive offerings through their making and subsequent practices of devotion. A key purpose of this book is to question an idea of Rome that has focused on elite production and the textual record; Hopkins instead calls attention to the lesser-known--often silenced--actors who were integral players. The result is a deep understanding of a diverse and historically rich Italic and Mediterranean world, as well as the myriad cultures, communities, and individuals who would have made and experienced art within and around the changing political boundaries of Rome.

«Questo è un libro di storie. Riguarda vicende di alcune antiche genti che hanno vissuto nel I millennio a.C. nei territori della Magna Grecia. È una storia di mobilità e incontri, perché per tutti, Greci e Italici, la rete di connessioni e il rapporto con gli altri sono stati la cifra esistenziale più rilevante della vita quotidiana.» È questo il «mondo nuovo» che dà il titolo al saggio di Massimo Osanna: un paesaggio dell'incontro che solo l'archeologia può aiutarci a riscoprire, restituendo voce a oggetti e strutture di per sé muti, raccontando chi li ha realizzati, usati, trasformati in memoria o distrutti. Reperti «capaci di narrare le storie di uomini e di popoli che in questa terra si sono incontrati, affrontati, amalgamati in un processo dinamico e senza soluzione di continuità». Attraverso un viaggio in parchi archeologici e musei più o meno noti del nostro Meridione (da Sibari a Taranto, da Metaponto a Paestum, passando per Crotone, Venosa, Caulonia), Osanna illumina il rapporto tra Greci e non Greci, mai univoco né scontato; ridefinisce l'idea stessa della «colonizzazione» per come la immaginiamo comunemente, spostando l'accento sui fenomeni di ibridazione che in Magna Grecia sono stati frequenti e articolati. Un lavoro avvincente sulla memoria degli oggetti (materialità dei contatti), dei luoghi (i paesaggi dell'intreccio), sulla memoria dei morti (quello che le tombe ci dicono), perché l'archeologia è fondamentale per ricostruire le storie non raccontate dalla Storia (il rumore di fondo dei frammenti, «vivo» e «parlante»).

"Older than both ceramics and metallurgy, textile technology reveals much about prehistoric social and economic development. Textile production has always been a fundamental part of economy and exchange and was practiced on all levels of society. This work examines evidence for textile production in Italy, focusing primarily on the period from the 10th to the 6th century BCE is deemed particularly important as it witnesses the shifts from small villages of mostly egalitarian type to large urban centered with social stratification, specialised crafts, more intensified and organised production and commercial exchange throughout and beyond the Italic sphere." "Based largely on the surviving textiles and tools associated with textile production, this volume sets the stage for future studies of textile production in ancient Italy and Mediterranean. It will be of great interest, not only to textile specialists and archaeologists working on pre-Roman sites in Italy, but also to excavators of this frequently overlooked class of archaeological evidence, and lead towards a better understanding of ancient textile technology and broader issues associated with it."--BOOK JACKET.

Societies, both ancient and modern, have frequently celebrated and proclaimed their military victories through overt public demonstrations. In the ancient world, however, the most famous examples of this come from a single culture and period - Rome in the final years of the Roman Republic and early Roman Empire - while those from other cultures - such as Egypt, Greece, Neo-Assyria, and indeed other periods of Roman history - are generally unexplored. The aim of this volume is to present a more complete study of this phenomenon and offer a series of cultural reactions to successful military actions by various peoples of the ancient Mediterranean world, illustrating points of similarity and diversity, and demonstrating the complex and multifaceted nature of this trans-cultural practice. "The book nevertheless represents a valuable collection of papers on a not so widely researched topic and is clearly a stepping stone for further research as indeed the editors intended it to be."

This book examines the appetite for Egyptian and Egyptian-looking artwork in Italy during the century following Rome's annexation of Aegyptus as a province. In the early imperial period, Roman interest in Egyptian culture was widespread, as evidenced by works ranging from the monumental obelisks, brought to the capital over the Mediterranean Sea by the emperors, to locally made emulations of Egyptian artifacts found in private homes and in temples to Egyptian gods. Although the foreign appearance of these artworks was central to their appeal, this book situates them within their social, political, and artistic contexts in Roman Italy. Swetnam-Burland focuses on what these works meant to their owners and their viewers in their new settings, by exploring evidence for the artists who produced them and by examining their relationship to the contemporary literature that informed Roman perceptions of Egyptian history, customs, and myths.

In this study, Marcello Mogetta examines the origins and early dissemination of concrete technology in Roman Republican architecture. Framing the genesis of innovative building processes and techniques within the context of Rome's early expansion, he traces technological change in monumental construction in long-established urban centers and new Roman colonial cites founded in the 2nd century BCE in central Italy. Mogetta weaves together excavation data from both public monuments and private domestic architecture that have been previously studied in isolation. Highlighting the organization of the building industry, he also explores the political motivations and cultural aspirations of patrons of monumental architecture, reconstructing how they negotiated economic and logistical constraints by drawing from both local traditions and long-distance networks. By incorporating the available evidence into the development of concrete technology, Mogetta also demonstrates the contributions of anonymous builders and contractors, shining a light on their ability to exploit locally available resources.
