Description

Product Description This book is the first in-depth analysis of one of the most remarkable monuments of Ostia, the ancient port town of Rome: The Domus del Ninfeo (III, VI, 1-3). Originally built as a multi-storey complex during the reign of Hadrian, in Late Antiquity it was converted into a ground-floor mansion to serve the dominus and his extended family. During this phase the building was enriched with marble floors and the elegant nymphaeum that gives it its current name. This study aims to present a comprehensive picture of the Domus, analysing not only the many structural changes but also its topographical setting, historical context and social inferences. The text also features the archaeological drawings that were made during the study and the results of a clearance in an area of the house previously neglected; the latter has provided invaluable evidence for interesting structural modifications that were previously completely unknown. Review 'This is original, in fact, pioneering work. ... [Batty's] handling of the data is exemplary. ... A scholar would be hard put to find such a well-reasoned and comprehensive account of Late Antique Ostia. It is so rich!' Prof. John R. Clarke, University of Texas at Austin'This is a very useful volume. Yes, it is single-structure oriented but it offers a lot in terms of understanding how the city of Ostia worked, grew and looked, and it lets readers learn about the rather patchy way that houses have been explored and recorded in the past in Ostia's extensive archaeological history. ... The many who study Pompeii and Ostia and Roman urbanism generally will find much of interest in here.' Prof. Neil Christie, University of Leicester About the Author Alessandra Batty
