The representation in the artifacts, and historical records for the Roman women depict more the idealistic view of Romans about the “perfect woman” how she should looks like, how she should be dressed and morally behave, presented in numerous statuses, pottery, mosaics, we don’t find numerous traces of presented the full face of the Roman women, form all layers of the social hierarchy, from the prostitutes, to the Nobel one, mostly we observe the image of more stylistically presented “ideal” for how the patriarchal Roman society depicted the

Political figures in art has always been an important part of our history, culture and artistic representation, Roman and Byzantine art is a classic case of these representations. The Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius and Justinian as World Conqueror are two examples that demonstrate the power and prestige of these political authorities. First, Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius from the Roman, Italy (173-176 CE) measures 11’6” high, cast in bronze. Secondly, Justinian as World conqueror from Byzantium period measures 13” x 11” entire panel, center panel 7” x 5” and 1” deep. The creator of the equestrian statue is unknown, however, the creator of Justinian’s ivory relief was probably made by the imperial work of Constantinople.

These mythical individuals show characteristics that are both valued and those that could be seen as inferior. In Sallust’s Conspiracy of Catiline, Catiline, the antagonist of his own story, is described as having some of these characteristics and how he displays them changes others perspective on him. With each of these characteristics that a Roman would have seen as positive were painted in a negative light because Sallust tells the audience instances where Catiline used these gifts in harmful ways. In contrast Aeneas, in Virgil’s Aeneid, is described and assigned what are thought of as the same Roman attributes, but these are held a positive approach compared to Sallust’s description of Catiline. The first example of this can be seen in the fifth section Sallust tells the audience of Catiline’s noble upbringing and is described as intelligent, ambitious, and as a brilliant solider.

This review analyzes Kenneth Wellesley's 1964 translation of the The Histories by Tacitus. The Histories is an account of Rome during the infamous A.D. 69, in which Rome held four emperors, and the surrounding months. In it, Tacitus described the reigns of Galba, Otho, and Vitellius and Vespasian's rise to power, as well as the battles, executions, and other events that shook Rome at the time. Actually, The Histories is believed to have covered a much longer time period, approximately from the death of Nero to the end{of} Domitian's reign, but the other portions of Tacitus's work have been lost, leaving primarily that one significant year. The work is split into multiple "books," which are closer to chapters by modern standards.

Introduction. Greek mythological heroes, and Roman mythological heroes share similar trades, however are different in many ways. These similarities and differences can be identified when looking at the means for the creation of a hero, and a hero’s life. This essay will discuse the similarities and differences in Roman and Greek heroes by anylysing the primary and secondary sources they feuture in respectively. Firstly will context be given, secondly the secondary sources in which the heroes feature, and lastly the spefic Greek and Roman hero will be compared.

For example, Greek customs influenced southern Italy where tomb painting developed; Etruscan customs influenced northern Italy where elaborate tombs with rich grave goods were built; Eastern customs influenced the shift from cremation to inhumation in the third century CE (Clark, 2012). These examples show how ancient Romans used burial practices as a way of expressing their social differentiation in terms of wealth, status, power, and identity. The funeral remains of the Roman world are powerful remnants that provide significant insights into the past. Overall, there was a continuity of tradition in Roman funerary art, despite some local peculiarities and geological factors (Toynbee, 1973). For example, the Etruscan sarcophagus lids with recumbent figures survived in the Roman couches (klinai) on which the statues of the dead recline, and the wax imagines of the middle republic were perpetuated in the sculptured portrait busts of later times.

The subject matter of the fresco helps the audience understand the painting in the context of mixing Hellenistic and foreign deities.

In the opening paragraph, she states that “This chapter investigates the dialogic character of such layered interventions in the sacred places of the Roman region in the Republican period: the interactions among the natural topography, the surrounding built environment, the architectural constituents of the place, the infrastructure, and the ritual performance,” (Moser 14). In this section of the book, she focuses on the Sacred Area of the Republican Temples at Ostia as well as the Sanctuary of Fosso dell’Incastro located at Ardea (Moser 14). Moser begins by explaining how these sanctuaries differ from others from the Roman Republican era by emphasizing that their architectural layout is distinctive, indicating that these sanctuaries must have been used differently; she also discusses the possibility that these sanctuaries were used for multiple deities, a wide variety of worship practices, as well as a marketplace (Moser 15). Furthermore, Moser explains the significance of the interior and exterior borders of these sanctuaries in relation to how they provide evidence as to how people might have practiced their religious practices at these sanctuaries.

“Classical Ideal” In the documentary, “Art of the Western World-The Classical Ideal”, the narrator provides a history and a perspective on the Greek and Roman creation of the “Classical Ideal” to art and architecture. The narrator infers that the foundation of the two societies, namely their democratic falsifies and religious foundations, along with their focus on fitness, personal strength, calculations and intelligence, drove Greece and later Rome, to perfect their visions of balance, symmetry and beauty in their architecture and art. Greece and Rome are often held out as the greatest societies to have ever existed.

In her chapter on the historiography of Roman exemplarity, Christina Shuttleworth Kraus examines this loss of power through the transition of exempla as the res gestae populi Romani to the res gestae divi Augusti (Kraus, 2). In early Roman history, exemplarity rested in the hands of popular consciousness; the citizens of Rome had the sole power of deciding which events or people to raise up to the status of exempla. This system of exemplarity that is explained in detail by Matthew Roller’s four stage model of the creation of exempla by public discourse (Roller, 216-217). However, Roller’s framework begins to collapse when Augustus intentionally influences exemplary power through his coercive Res Gestae. Rather than looking to the past for the great deeds of common people like the Sabine women or Lucretia, Roman citizens of the Augustan period had their attention directed towards the persona of one man, an exemplar in the form of an emperor.

"The Deeds of the Divine Augustus" was written in AD 14 by the ancient Roman Emperor Augustus. It was an autobiographical piece of literary work that lists the various deeds that Augustus performed throughout his reign as Emperor, but it was merely written so that the people of Rome would remember Augustus as a great leader who went out of his way in order to create a better society for Rome. Within the text Augustus utilizes the first person singular in which "I" mostly occurs at the beginning of every paragraph. He is making a clear analysis of his own accomplishments ranging from, raising an army, waged war, spared citizens, and first rejected an oppurtunity at dictatorship (paragraphs 1,3,5). Although it may seem that Augustus

This creates a interesting question about Egypt and Rome. How did the way Egyptian deities, specifically Isis and Osiris, were viewed change between the Egyptian and Roman empires? In this essay, I will argue that the way that Isis and Osiris were viewed through their mythology changed across cultures. This is evident through the way they were worshipped, depicted in artwork, and shown in mythology in each of the cultures. One of the ways that the way that Isis and Osiris were viewed changed is in worship.

This book isn’t limited to only events that could be closer to facts then fiction, it also encompasses culture, ideas, and more. Throughout this essay, pieces of the book will be analyzed to see if they are closer to fact than fiction or fiction than fact, thus the ability to conclude if Pompeii is closer to fact or fiction or a mix of both will be presented. The aquarius
