Charlemagne and Rome is a wide-ranging exploration of cultural politics in the age of Charlemagne. It focuses on a remarkable inscription commemorating Pope Hadrian I who died in Rome at Christmas 795. Commissioned by Charlemagne, composed by Alcuin of York, and cut from black stone quarried close to the king's new capital at Aachen in the heart of the Frankish kingdom, it was carried to Rome and set over the tomb of the pope in the south transept of St Peter's basilica not long before Charlemagne's imperial coronation in the basilica on Christmas Day 800. A masterpiece of Carolingian art, Hadrian's epitaph was also a manifesto of empire demanding perpetual commemoration for the king amid St Peter's cult. In script, stone, and verse, it proclaimed Frankish mastery of the art and power of the written word, and claimed the cultural inheritance of imperial and papal Rome, recast for a contemporary, early medieval audience. Pope Hadrian's epitaph was treasured through time and was one of only a few decorative objects translated from the late antique basilica of St Peter's into the new structure, the construction of which dominated and defined the early modern Renaissance. Understood then as precious evidence of the antiquity of imperial affection for the papacy, Charlemagne's epitaph for Pope Hadrian I was preserved as the old basilica was destroyed and carefully redisplayed in the portico of the new church, where it can be seen today. Using a very wide range of sources and methods, from art history, epigraphy, palaeography, geology, archaeology, and architectural history, as well as close reading of contemporary texts in prose and verse, this book presents a detailed 'object biography', contextualising Hadrian's epitaph in its historical and physical setting at St Peter's over eight hundred years, from its creation in the late eighth century during the Carolingian Renaissance through to the early modern Renaissance of Bramante, Michelangelo, and Maderno.

Kurzbeschreibung: In diesem Buch ist alles zusammengetragen, was heutzutage über die Göttin Nehalennia zu finden ist und mit überraschenden neuen Sichtweisen ergänzt. Es wird das Land ihrer Verehrung - Zeeland - historisch und aktuell beschrieben und die Geschichte ihrer Votivaltäre ausführlich dargestellt. Einige Dutzend besonders schöne Nehalennia-Steine sind abgebildet, teilweise in mehreren historischen Darstellungen oder auch in aktuellen Fotos, soweit sie noch existieren. Ausführlich wird das historische Umfeld, auch die hydrogeografischen Entwicklungen von der Jungsteinzeit bis in die beginnende Neuzeit beschrieben. Dies und die Siedlungsgeschichte Zeelands wird mit teilweise neu gezeichneten Karten illustriert. Das Zeitalter der römischen Besetzung, die Zeit des Nehalenniakultes wird aus verschiedenen Perspektiven plastisch beschrieben. Ausführliche Erörterungen gelten der Herkunft des Namens Nehalennia, ihrer Einflusssphäre als Göttin und den mit ihr zusammen abgebildeten Symbolen. Schließlich wird dargestellt, in welcher Form die Göttin heutzutage in Kunst und Religion wieder lebendig geworden ist. Ein ausführliches Stichwortverzeichnis rundet das Werk ab. Klappentext: In den ersten Jahrhunderten nach der Zeitenwende, als das römische Reich sich weit nach Norden erstreckte, gab es an der westlichen Nordseeküste eine Göttin, die von Römern, Kelten und Germanen geschätzt und verehrt wurde. Dennoch wird sie in keiner schriftlichen Quelle aus dieser Zeit genannt. Erst 1647 taucht ihr Name auf, NEHALENNIA in Stein gemeißelt. Und das nicht nur einmal, nein, es wurden viele ihr gewidmete Altäre gefunden. Dieses Buch erzählt über diese Funde, beschreibt in Wort und Bild eine reiche Auswahl der Altarsteine und skizziert dann ein umfassendes Bild, das den Nehalennia-Kult in seine Zeit setzt; ihr Land, ihre Bedeutung, ihre Verehrer und das damit zusammenhängende Umfeld werden in einen möglichen historischen Kontext gebracht. Das abschließende Kapitel zeigt, dass diese Göttin heute wieder auf vielerlei Weisen in den Herzen und Köpfen der unterschiedlichsten Menschen lebt ? eine Göttin ohne Mythologie, aber mit einer fesselnden Geschichte!
