The War Memorials of Imperial Rome

- Among the most characteristic features of ancient Rome are the war memorials that celebrated Roman victory throughout the Mediterranean, Europe, and the Middle East. Triumphal arches, monumental narrative columns, and large-scale battle paintings dominated the landscape of ancient Rome, as did war booty such as obelisks and Greek statuary that had been seized in conquered lands. All of these will be surveyed in this talk, along with war memorials of the 20th and 21st centuries that have been influenced by ancient Roman designs.
C. Brian Rose, Ph.D. (B.A. Haverford College; M. A., Ph.D. Columbia University), is James B. Pritchard Professor of Mediterranean Archaeology and Peter C. Ferry Curator-in-Charge of the Mediterranean Section. Since 1988 he has been Head of Post-Bronze Age excavations at Troy, and between 2004 and 2007 he directed a survey project in the Granicus River Valley that focused on recording and mapping the Graeco-Persian tombs that dominate the area. In 2013 he became director of the Gordion Excavations in central Turkey. His research has concentrated on the political and artistic relationship between Rome and the provinces (Dynastic Commemoration and Imperial Portraiture in the Julio-Claudian Period, Cambridge, 1997), and on the monuments of Troy during the Classical periods (The Archaeology of Greek and Roman Troy, Cambridge, 2014).
Brian Rose's enthusiasm is so infectious
Hugely appreciated. Thank you
love the lectures
Rome is Rome ! It’s legacy continues through the centuries right into and through ours !
I stumbled across the Kriegerdenkmal im Hofgarten on a business trip to Munich in the 1990s. That's quite different to your examples here, and is answering need in a very different context, and I kept thinking of it as I watched your lecture - it just doesn't fit your narratives, because what it symbolises is so utterly unlike even the Vietnam and 9/11 memorials. I still struggle to describe to myself what I felt on the encounter, despite returning to it in my memory many times since. And it sits in such deep shadow.
The Vukovar water tower is a good parallel to the destroyed Parthenon.
OMG I read the title as saying Mermaids instead of memorials. xD I clicked so fast. Needless to say I was pretty confused throughout the whole video
I was really excited to watch this then I read your comment and started daydreaming about imperial roman war mermaids and I don't care about memorials anymore pfft
Brian. Your sick. Wait tell you are well to do a audio
:P
It was telling the C. Brian Rose refers to Christianity as a "mystery cult" (time mark 28:20) that has survived from antiquity. I wonder if Dr. Rose's position on this definition of Christianity is widely shared at the Penn Museum and the University of Pennsylvania.
