JRA LATEST NEWSAPHRODISIAS
PAPERS 4 (supplement 70)
has just been published. A lavish book of 395 pages with over 340
illustrations, printed on an 80 # Gloss sheet, it contains 15 chapters
with much new material from the last decade of work. One highlight is
R. R. R. Smith, “Sarcophagi and Roman citizenship”, linking marble
sarcophagi with the new status for hundreds of new Aurelii. “The
sarcophagi suggest that there were perceived to be real symbolic
advantages in the citizenship... The elaborate carved designs of
the sarcophagi celebrate the honour of the newly acquired status of
civis Romanus.” The book also contains full studies of major monuments
such as the Civil Basilica, the Bouleuterion, and the City Walls, as
well as a detailed study of the Founding of Aphrodisias and several
studies of sculpture, including a statue of Julia Hera Sebaste (Livia),
gladiatorial reliefs, portraits statues of boxers, and figural table
supports. The ANNUAL
JOURNAL VOLUME 21 (2008), in two fascicules, is now mostly in
proofs. Publication is scheduled for the end of November. The
list price is $140, plus post. The price for individual subscribers
will continue to be approximately $70, plus post. One highlight is P.
L. Tucci, “Galen’s storeroom, Rome’s libraries, and the fire of A.D.
192”, drawing upon a new manuscript of Galen. Some important reviews
will be posted on this site in advance of publication. Just
added! An index of all reviews ever
published by JRA. Roman Archaeology Conference to
be held in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on April 3-5, 2009. |
