Recherche sur les arbres fondateurs exemplaires à Rome / The exemplary trees founders of Rome

Perrin-Macé, Françoise 11 December 2015 (has links)
Avant la fondation de Rome, le chêne, le figuier et le cornouiller faisaient partie des essences d’arbres qui poussaient sur le territoire de la cité. Dans l’histoire des origines de Rome, le chêne d’Enée présageait déjà des destinées de la ville auxquelles donnera corps le figuier du Lupercal et celui du Comitium. Cependant, ce fut le cornouiller qui singularisa la création et l’élection de Rome, investie d’une mission civilisatrice universelle. La Cornus fut un des signes matériels des significations politique, sociale et religieuse des actes de Romulus, pourvoyeur de richesses, guerrier, et organisateur qui avait su transformer un lieu à demi forestier en une ville. Ces rôles, assumés par Romulus, répondent au schéma ternaire dégagé par G. Dumézil. Trois symboliques communes aux trois arbres se croisent : la notion de la constitution d’un peuple particulier dont les origines résultaient de la combinaison de peuples grecs et/ou italiques ; l’idée que ces arbres légendaires avaient été impliqués dans des actes de fondation ; enfin le rapport étroit entre une Rome mythique et la Rome des temps historiques que les arbres créent. La tradition sur la fondation de Rome qui a subi l’influence de la Grèce, s’est approprié cette ascendance pour en faire une histoire proprement romaine. Du chêne qui signifiait pour le Troyen Enée le terme de son voyage, puis du figuier, qui avait contribué à sauver Romulus en abritant la louve, jusqu’au cornouiller, poussé en haut du Palatin, les trois arbres mythiques ont symbolisé le lieu de la naissance de Rome et sont restés aux temps historiques des acteurs d’une civilisation urbanisée, regroupée en un seul peuple romain. / Before the founding of Rome by Romulus, oak, fig tree and dogwood were part of various tree species growing on the territory of Rome. In the history of the origins of the city, the oak of Aeneas already presaged the destinies of Rome to whom the lupercal fig tree will give body, it was the dogwood which illustrated the creation and election of Rome. The tree, or rather the shrub, was a material sign for political, social and religious meanings of the acts of Romulus in his threefold role as provider of wealth by the gathering of heterogeneous people, warrior who was given a place surrounded by forests, a veritable territory centered on a city, Rome, and deified King. Three symbolic notions common to the three founding trees crosses : the notion of an origin of the territory and the people that was based on an ancient pre-Roman, Greek and/or Italic ; the idea that these legendary trees had been involved in acts of fundation and creation of a people ; finally the close relationship between a mythical Rome and that of historical times, according to the tripartite scheme established by G. Dumézil. The Tradition on the founding of Rome was not exempt from Greek influence but had appropriated this Greek ancestry to make a proper Roman history. The oak, which meant the end of Trojan Aeneas journey, the fig tree which, with the wolf, had helped to save Romulus and the dogwood, pushed at the top of the Palatine Hill, in the middle of Roma Quadrata, the three trees symbolized the place of the birth of Rome, a city that gave a town and a civilization to a grouping of diverse populations before scattered in the woods.

Power and Piety: Augustan Imagery and the Cult of the Magna Mater

Bell, Roslynne January 2007 (has links)
This thesis examines the ways in which the Magna Mater became an integral part of Augustan ideology and the visual language of the early principate. Traditionally, our picture of the Augustan Magna Mater has been shaped by evidence from literary sources. Here, however, the monuments of the goddess' cult are considered in their religio-political context. Works that link Augustus himself to the Magna Mater are shown to reveal that the goddess played a significant and hitherto unappreciated role in official propaganda. Part I examines the nature of the Augustan reconstruction of the Palatine Temple of the Magna Mater and challenges persistent claims that the princeps was disinterested in the metroac cult. Augustus' use of inexpensive building materials is shown to be, not a display of parsimony, but an attempt to retain the traditional appearance of a venerable structure. A reinterpretation of the temple's pedimental and acroterial sculpture, using the Valle-Medici reliefs, demonstrates that Augustus promoted the Magna Mater as an allegory of Rome's Trojan heritage and as a symbol of a new Golden Age. Part II investigates the topography of the Augustan precinct on the Palatine, and argues that the geographic linkage of the metroön and the House of Augustus became a topos in imperial imagery. It then demonstrates that several well-known works of art echo this connection between the princeps and the goddess. These works range from statues in the Circus Maximus designed to be viewed by thousands, to the Gemma Augustea, a luxury item intended for the elite. They are also found both inside and outside Rome. A reassessment of the Vicus Sandaliarius altar and the Sorrento base illustrates popular recognition of Augustus' reinvention of the Magna Mater as a national deity of Rome and the tutelary goddess of the Julio-Claudii.

La Casa di Livia al Palatino. Un nuovo studio topografico / La maison de Livie au Palatin. Une nouvelle étude topographique / The House of Livia on the Palatine hill. A new topographical study

Torrisi, Valentina 17 November 2018 (has links)
Cette thèse montre qu’il y a lieu de s’interroger sur l’extension et les différentes phases de construction de la première résidence augustéenne du Palatin et en particulier sur une partie de celle-ci: la maison de Livie. Actuellement, j'ai établi quatre phases de construction pour la Maison de Livie, la première peut être datée aux alentours de 70 av. J.-C. en raison des similitudes entre le type de ses murs et ceux des substructions du théâtre de Pompée, construit entre 61 et 55 av. J.-C. et aussi à cause d’une estampille de tuile trouvée dans la substruction du complexe sud-est, datée par Margareta Steinby autour de 79 av. J.-C en raison des vestiges souterrains, je suppose l'existence au premier étage, aujourd’hui disparu, d'un oecus corinthius du côté sud-est et d'une basilique du côté nord-ouest du bâtiment. Les trois autres phases relèvent de l’initiative d’Auguste, qui a acheté plusieurs maisons sur la colline de Palatin afin de construire un complexe résidentiel sur le modèle des palais hellénistiques. Les peintures de la Maison de Livie datées auparavant d'environ 30 av. J.-C. sont datées actuellement au tour de 40 avant J.-C. par Eugenio La Rocca qui a démontré que la maison avait été construite et décorée beaucoup plus tôt. Selon son hypothèse, la « rupture » stylistique entre la première phase et la deuxième phase du second style peut être attribuée à la présence de Cléopâtre à Rome entre 46 et 44 av. J.-C. La reine était très probablement accompagnée d'artistes travaillant pour elle dans les ateliers royaux d'Alexandrie. Il est donc probable que l'élite romaine aurait reproduit les styles et les goûts de César et de Cléopâtre. / This thesis show that there is cause to question the extension and the different construction phases of the House of Augustus and in particular, of a part of it, the House of Livia as recently Irene Iacopi and Giovanna Tedone published an important paper about the accuracy of dating of the construction phases in the Augustan palace. Currently I established four construction phases for the House of Livia, the first one can be dated around 70 B.C. because of the similarities between the type of its walls and the ones of Pompey’s theatre, built between 61 and 55 B.C. and also because of a tile’s stamp found in the substructure of the south-east complex, dated by Margareta Steinby around 79 B.C. Because of the underground remains I suppose the existence at the first floor, actually destroyed, of an oecus corinthius in the south-east side and a basilica in the north-west side of the building. The three more phases should have been linked to Augustus, who bought several houses on the Palatin hill in order to build a Hellenistic palace styled complex. La Rocca demonstrated that the decoration of the House of Livia started from 40 BC due to the presence of Cleopatra near Rome between 46 and 44 BC. The queen very probably was accompanied by artists working for her in the royal Alexandrian workshops. It is likely, therefore, that the Roman elite would have replicated the styles and tastes of Caesar and Cleopatra
