12	Streets, Spaces and Places : Three Pompeiian Movement Axes Analysed Weilguni, Marina January 2011 (has links) This study is an urban analysis of Roman Pompeii. It explores the spatial structure of the town just before the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 72, and how public space was used for movement, activity and interaction between people. For this, Space Syntax was used, a topological method developed in the 1980s to analyse and plan modern urban contexts, based on the configuration of spatial systems in the axial and in the convex dimension, representing movement and “place” respectively. This method was used to establish an axial map of Pompeii, and to analyse the spatial configuration of three specific movement axes. The axial map strengthens one of the hypotheses discussed in current research about Pompeii, namely that of an older town nucleus in the west part of Pompeii. One part of the thesis is a hypothetical reconstruction of a town-wide traffic system for wheel-borne traffic. The routes were reconstructed to fit the archaeological evidence and meet certain other criteria, and were then independently checked against the axial analysis. As a conclusion, a regulated traffic system could be seen to have existed. A good case was made for how it could have worked. Another part of the thesis deals with the relation between public and interior space. The different types of interior spatial units lining the three chosen movement axes were investigated. The aim was to see how differences in both density of doorways and type of interface gave rise to different urban environments. It was found that commerce and a concomitant dense interface with many street doors largely followed the dimension of movement. The segmentation of public space along the movement axes was explored in order to gain an insight into which segments of space held specific functions, and how how these functions related to dense and less dense interfaces between public and interior space. This segmentation emphasizes official buildings and monuments, which are allowed to disrupt what is otherwise the norm for the permeable interface between exterior and interior space. As a result, the picture of a town with two different types of interaction between people emerges. On the one hand, both fleeting and more intense interaction was facilitated in those spaces where official buildings and monuments were prominent, and where group identity was stressed. On the other hand, the more unregulated interaction largely took place “along the road” between these spaces.

13	Erotic Tokens and The Business of Prostitution : A study on the monetary value of tokens in Pompeii / Erotiska polletter och affärsverksamheter kring prostitution : En studie om polletter och dess monetära värde i Pompeji Wall, Emilia January 2019 (has links) Erotic tokens or the so-called spintriae leave little to the imagination. These coin-like tokens depict acts of love making couples with Roman numerals on the reverse. The tokens are believed to have been in use during the 1st century A.D. and is often attributed to the reign of Tiberius. The material examined in the thesis are the four spintriae from Uppsala University Coin Cabinet. Due to the specific characteristics, scholars have been questioning the function of the erotic tokens. The most accredited hypothesis is that erotic tokens was used as payment in brothels. The purpose of this thesis is to discern whether the erotic tokens had a monetary value in Pompeii. The study also aims to examine if the tokens were used as payment in brothels instead of contemporary currencies and as to why the reason for this could be. To be able to discern a purpose, function and value of erotic tokens, three analyses on the basis of graffiti, iconography and ancient literature are made.

14	Manlig prostitution i Pompeji : En studie av erotisk graffiti / Male prostitution in Pompeii : A study of erotic graffiti Olofsson, Isabelle January 2019 (has links) This study looks at graffiti in Pompeii that seems to indicate male prostitution, to find out whether this activity occurred in antiquity and whether it was meant for both men and women. The hypothesis, which formed the basis of this study, was that male prostitution was just as common as female prostitution in the city of Pompeii. The information that has been relevant to this study is the one which helps us understand the Roman sexuality and sexual morality, Roman sense of humour and their opinions on prostitutes. To get an answer, both primary and secondary sources that deal with these various subjects have been studied and analysed. The information provided and the discussion of them have been divided thematically, where the first part deals with graffiti that indicates prostitution. The graffiti that mentions male prostitution is compared with the graffiti announcing female prostitution as a means to analyse it. Ancient texts that talk about submissive men are also discussed and analysed. Information about infamia and what effect it has on prostitutes in society follows in the next section, a discussion and analysis about the graffiti that appear to be insults is also to be found. Finally, we have informative texts about the Roman sense of humour, examples of this humour both in ancient texts and graffiti are discussed and analysed. All discussion and analysis have then come to confirm my hypothesis. Male prostitution was just as common during antiquity as female prostitution in the city of Pompeii, it was also meant for both women and men. Graffiti that suggests male and female prostitution does not differ significantly; ancient texts also mention women who take part in these sexual services. Graffiti that mentions male names together with a sexual service and a price are the ones we can state verifies male prostitution. Similar graffiti that excludes a prize is most likely an insult or a joke between two Romans. Further studies are required to be able to discuss and analyse the names that arise in the graffiti mentioning male prostitution. graffiti prostitution male antiquity Pompeii gender graffiti prostitution manlig antiken Pompeji genus Antikvetenskap
15	Pompeji genom vetenskapliga och populärkulturella källor Malmborg, My January 2019 (has links) Denna kandidatuppsats berör hur Pompeji är framställd i vetenskapliga och populärkulturella källor genom böcker och artiklar. Skillnaden är även något som kritiskt diskurs analyseras. Mängder av populärkulturell- och vetenskaplig information finns om Pompeji och dess invånare. Är vetenskapliga och populärkulturella böcker från vitt skilda världar? Skriver vetenskapliga och populärkulturella författare olika? Svaret är att skillnaden inte är så stor men att den finns. Gränsen mellan populärkultur och vetenskap kan bli otydlig. / The bachelor thesis concerns how Pompeii is written about in scientific and popular culture sources through books and articles. The differences between them is also something that is critical discourse analyzed. A great deal of popular culture- and scientific information is written about Pompeii and it's citizens. Are scientific and popular culture books from different worlds? Does scientific and popular culture writers write differently? The answer is that the difference is not big but it's present. The line between popular culture and science can be ambiguous.

16	Antagonistisk graffiti : En rumslig analys av inskrifter i Pompeji / Antagonistic graffiti : A spatial analysis of inscriptions in Pompeii Nordlund, Rasmus January 2023 (has links) Denna text diskuterar antagonistisk graffiti i Pompeji ur ett rumsligt perspektiv för att analysera spridningen av graffiti. Texten ämnar även att undersöka ifall det är vanligare att skriva förolämpande graffiti på specifika platser i staden. Ytterligare ett mål med uppsatsen är att undersöka ifall modern teoribildning kan bidra till en bättre förståelse av graffitins spridning genom disinhibitionsteorin. Antik graffiti jämförs med moderna beteenden online och kring graffiti. Graffitin verkar skrivas på platser där den är synlig av andra människor och den är vanlig på både privata och offentliga byggnader. Disinhibition kan vara en möjlig förklaringsmodell angående förolämpande graffiti orsakad av exempelvis anonymitet. / This text discusses antagonistic graffiti in Pompeii from a spatial perspective to analyse the spread of graffiti. The text also aims to study whether it is more common to write offensive graffiti in certain areas of the city. Another goal with this thesis is to study whether modern sociological theory can help understand the spread of graffiti through the disinhibition theory. Ancient graffiti is compared to modern behaviours online and around graffiti. Graffiti seems to be written in places where it could be seen by other people, and it is common on both private and public buildings. Disinhibition could be a possible explanatory model when discussing offensive graffiti caused by, for example, anonymity.

17	Gerasa i relation till antik stadsplansteori : Av Aristoteles, Vitruvius och Hippodamos Hopstadius, Anna January 2023 (has links) The aim of this essay is to investigate the theories of city planning that existed during Greek, Hellenistic and Roman period. Vitruvius, Aristoteles and Hippodamos had thoughts about the placement of the city, the street networks organization and individual buildings proportion, function and neighbors. Aristoteles angle of incidence is pragmatic and social aspects. Vitruvius emphasizes health aspects and the individual buildings with regard to durability, expediency and beauty. Hippodamos view on how health aspects should be regarded aligns with Aristoteles and stresses an equal distribution of the urban land. Gerasa is investigated in relation to these template city qualities and results show that it does not consistently overlap or deviate. To add a further perspective it is put in relation to Pompeji and they are compared with the theories. Questions: 1. What is laid out by Aristoteles, Vitruvius and Hippodamos about a city's ideal placement and internal structure and design? 2. How does the remains from the excavated cities Gerasa and Pompeji relate to these theories? Method: The Theories on city planning were searched and assembled from literary sources. Then a comparison was made between all the three parts of Gerasa, Pompeji and the ideal cities.

18	Attitudes towards the Past in Antiquity. Creating Identities : Proceedings of an International Conference held at Stockholm University 15-17 May 2009 Alroth, Brita, Scheffer, Charlotte January 2014 (has links) This volume brings together twenty-eight papers from an International conference on attitudes towards the past and the creating of identities in Antiquity. The volume addresses many different approaches to these issues, spanning over many centuries, ranging in time from the Prehistoric periods to the Late Antiquity, and covering large areas, from Britain to Greece and Italy and to Asia Minor and Cyprus. The papers deal with several important problems, such as the use of tradition and memory in shaping an individual or a collective identity, continuity and/or change and the efforts to connect the past with the present. Among the topics discussed are the interpretation of literary texts, e.g. a play by Plautus, the Aeneid, a speech by Lykurgos, poems by Claudian and Prudentius, and of historical texts and inscriptions, e.g. funerary epigrams, and the analysis of the iconography of Roman coins, Etruscan reliefs, Pompeian and Etruscan frescoes and Cypriote sculpture, and of architectural remains of houses, tombs and temples. Other topics are religious festivals, such as the Lupercalia, foundation myths, the image of the emperor on coins and in literature, the significance of intra-urban burials, forgeries connected with the Trojan War, Hippocrates and Roman martyrs.
