About this book

This monograph summarises the results of the full study of the monument, already excavated and restored by the Italian Archaeological Service in 1930-31, hitherto described in a few short notes, but unpublished in detail. The analysis includes: history of both excavation and restoration of the preserved structures, the survey and the description of the latter, and the detailed study of the architectural features (seen within the frame of the local architecture of Lepcis and its different cultural influences) in relation to the inscriptions. These data give for the first time a complete overview, allowing the suggestion of hypothesis about the reconstruction of the arch, particularly regarding the typology of the inner vault, the shape of the attic, and the presence of bronze statues and trophies above the columned foreparts. Aspects of the original construction have also been defined, as being the result of the local adaptation of established Roman patterns; new suggestions for the political propaganda regarding the monumental arch have been also discussed. The monograph ends with a survey of all the known Roman triumphal arches in Northern Africa. Abstracts both in English and Arabic languages complete the book.

Oxford Handbook of Pompeii and Its Environs
Pompeii is the most famous archaeological site in the world, and arguably where the modern discipline of archaeology began. Excavations here began over 250 years ago, and discoveries are still being made, both as the result of excavation and because of the ongoing reassessment of previously discovered material. <em>The Oxford Handbook to Pompeii and its Environs</em> presents an up-to-date assessment of our current state of knowledge, not just about the city of Pompeii but including its hinterland and the neighbouring archaeological sites of Herculaneum, Stabiae, Boscoreale and others. This <em>Handbook</em> is at once historiographical and cutting-edge, covering how scholarship has evolved over the long history of excavation and the current developments in fieldwork and scholarship.

Lost Art Rediscovered: The Architectural Ceramics of Byzantium
<p>During the tenth and eleventh centuries, splendid Byzantine buildings were enriched by colorful ceramic tiles decorated with an impressive range of figural and ornamental patterns. Despite their widespread use, traces of this important decorative medium have, for the most part, disappeared. Relegated to museum storerooms, hidden in private collections, buried under layers of construction, and eclipsed by more durable media, polychrome tiles have until now been denied their full role in our understanding of Byzantine decoration and aesthetics. </p><p> <i>A Lost Art Rediscovered</i> includes a fully illustrated catalogue of all known tiles produced in the region of Constantinople, including the substantial collection owned by the Walters Art Museum, as well as those belonging to museums and private collections around the world. Some tiles included in the catalogue are now lost; the discovery of others is reported here for the first time. A series of scholarly essays gives the ceramics their rightful place in the study of Byzantine art and treats aspects of patronage, manufacture, function, ornament, and cultural significance. This comprehensive publication heralds the first large-scale, permanent installation of the Byzantine tiles in the collection of the Walters Art Museum.</p><p>Contributors include Jeffrey C. Anderson, Anne Bouquillon, Anthony Cutler, Elizabeth S. Ettinghausen, Cyril Mango, Marlia Mundell Mango, William Tronzo, and Christine Vogt.</p>
