Hund mit Feldherr sulla statua di Augusto di Prima Porta’
No full textIn the context of the interpretation of the figurative language of the Augustan period, the paper discusses the three figures (a Roman high-rank general, an animal, and a Parthian barbarian) oc- cupying the centre of the breastplate of the Prima Porta Augustus, and representing the rendering of the military standards. No consensus has been reached among researchers as regards their identification. The cuirassed figure has been identified with Mars or Tiberius. The figure in Oriental attire has been recognised as Phraates IV, King of Parthia, or as a generic Parthian, representative of the entire Parthian people. The animal has been vari- ously interpreted as the wolf of Mars, the she-wolf, or a generic dog. This last identification seems more in tune with what we can see, but has nonetheless not met with consensus, especially because of the lack of a convincing reason for its presence. Based on hypotheses already proposed by other scholars, the possibility is newly put forward, that the animal is indeed a dog, whose presence should allude to the soldiers guarding the borders. The cuirassed figure could represent a military genius, thus also accounting for the ideal coiffure he features

I frammenti di rilievi di soggetto gladiatorio da Beneventum
No full textAttraverso l'analisi dei frammenti marmorei di rilievi gladiatori provenienti dall'antica Benevento, in relazione con le fonti epigrafiche e letterarie, si cerca di dimostrare che tali lastre e frammenti non appartengono ad un generico quanto sconosciuto monumento dedicato a gladiatori, ma con buona probabilità dall'arredo dell'anfiteatro cittadino, la cui datazione risulta tutt'altro che sicura
Ex uetere instituto Capreis erat. Un'antica efebia neapolitana? A partire da Suet. Aug. 98, 3
No full textSvetonio racconta che pochi giorni prima di morire, Augusto assisté a Capri a esercizi di efebi, che si trovavano a Capri in gran numero "secondo un'antica usanza" (ex uetere instituto) (Suet., Aug. 98, 3). Questo articolo cerca di dimostrare che gli ephēbeîa furono istituiti a Capri molti secoli prima da Neapolis, che avrebbe mandato sull'isola i giovani per un periodo di addestramento, con il compito di tenere sotto controllo l'accesso meridionale del Golfo di Napoli. Durante l'ultima visita di Augusto a Capri, Neapolis riprese e riorganizzò, forse per l'ultima volta, uno dei suoi più antichi rituali
Lastre Campana da Velia
No full textThe recent researches on Velia during the Early Imperial period are gradually highlighting new and important data related to the cultural changes that involved the city. New models, tastes and styles begun to spread specially from the Augustan age as it is well attested by some peculiar items strictly connected to the institution of the Principate. This paper focuses on two unpublished so-called Campana reliefs found in Velia during the first half of the 20th century. They belong to well-known typologies even though they present some specific features. The first relief, referable to “urban” moulds, shows a scene with treading grapes. It is characterized by a variant of the main iconographic scheme not so frequent. The second terracotta plaque attests to the activity of a probably local workshop which reviews standardized decorative schemes, replacing some items processed independently. The two reliefs from Velia provide us new data on the diffusion of these architectural terracottas in the Tyrrhenian Lucania, highlighting the receiving in a social context that, between the end of the 1st century BC and 1st century AD, had engaged in a strong recovery of his Greek cultural identity
nominali frazionari di argento in Magna Grecia nel V sec.a.C.:il caso di Taranto
No full textIl contributo affronta in modo sistematico lo studio della produzione dei nominali frazionari della zecca di Taranto nel V sec.a.C., che rappresenta un fenomeno complesso e articolato per l'adozione di diversi sistemi monetari che consentono l'aggancio a valute differenti di ambito magno-greco e siceliote. Se ne definisce la periodizzazione cronologica, la strutturazione interna
e si indicano gli orientamenti politico-economici e commerciali che orientano le opzioni della zecca a livello delle frazioni in metallo prezioso

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
