Abstract

"In the latter part of the fifth century BC, regional red-figure productions were established outside Attica in regional Greece and in the western Mediterranean, propelled by the impact of the art of Attic vase-painting. This collection of papers addresses key issues posed by these production centres. Why did they emerge? To what degree was their inception prompted by the emigration of Attic craftsmen in the context of the weakened Attic pottery market at the onset of the Peloponnesian War? How did Attic vase-painting influence already existing ceramic traditions and what was selected, adopted or adapted at the receiving end? Who was using red-figure in mainland Greece and Italy, and what were its particular functions in the local cultures? These and more questions are addressed here with the presentation not only of syntheses, but also primary publication of much newly discovered material. Regional production centres covered includes those of Euboea, Boeotia, Corinth, Laconia, Macedonia, Ambracia, Lucania, Apulia, Sicily, Locri and Etruria"--Back cover

Abstract

La céramique à paroi fine fait partie des groupes céramiques les mieux représentés dans les contextes archéologiques d’époque romaine, plus particulièrement dans ceux compris entre le IIe siècle av. J.-C. et le IIe siècle ap. J.-C.. Caractéristique de la romanisation, on la retrouve dans l’ensemble de la Péninsule italique et des territoires conquis. Sans pouvoir être regroupée sous une définition technique univoque, elle désigne principalement des vases à boire dont le répertoire morphologique se met en place dans la seconde moitié du IIe siècle av. J.-C. Sur la base de découvertes particulièrement abondantes, son émergence a été localisée en Étrurie méridionale. Fondée par Tarquinia, la cité étrusco-romaine de Musarna se trouve au centre de cette région et la vingtaine de campagnes de fouilles menée par l’École Française de Rome a permis de mettre au jour une importante quantité de céramique à paroi fine, particulièrement bien conservée. Son étude, qui sera suivie de celles notamment des céramiques à vernis noir et des céramiques communes, a semblé pertinente afin de mieux définir la vaisselle d’Étrurie romaine, dont les caractéristiques typologiques sont parmi les plus influentes dans l’ensemble du monde romain. Le corpus de Musarna a ainsi été quantifié, caractérisé techniquement et il été possible de construire une typologie afin de suivre son évolution et sa diffusion. À la lumière des découvertes les plus récentes et d’études typologiques parallèles, les questions de l’émergence du groupe et de sa fonction ont également pu être à nouveau abordées. L’étude a par ailleurs mis en évidence l’hétérogénéité de sa production et de sa diffusion en Étrurie, et plus largement dans la partie tyrrhénienne de l’Italie centrale dont les différences apparaissent comme le timide reflet de singularités productives et commerciales des différents territoires qui composent cette région.

Abstract

The late sixth century was a period of considerable change in Etruria; this change is traditionally seen as the adoption of superior models from Greece. In a re-alignment of agency, this 2007 book examines a wide range of Etruscan material culture - mirrors, tombs, sanctuaries, houses and cities - in order to demonstrate the importance of local concerns in the formation of Etruscan material culture. Drawing on theoretical developments, the book emphasises the deliberate nature of the smallest of changes in material culture form, and develops the concept of surface as a unifying key to understanding the changes in the ways Etruscans represented themselves in life and death. This concept allows a uniquely holistic approach to the archaeology of Etruscan society and has the potential for other archaeological investigations. The book will interest all scholars and students of classical archaeology.

Abstract

L’ironie d’un Caton s’étonnant qu’un haruspice ne rit pas quand il rencontre un autre haruspice dissimule l’importance et la variété du recours romain à des praticiens qui savaient connaître les sentiments des dieux à travers l’interprétation des foudres, des foies des victimes de sacrifices et des prodiges. Ce livre s’intéresse à l’emprunt et à l’utilisation de la divination d’origine étrusque dans le monde romain, des origines jusqu’au vie siècle p.C. Il entreprend de montrer quand, comment et pourquoi les Romains ont intégré les haruspices dans leur religion publique et privée. Il décrit les modalités historiques, les conséquences sociales et les implications religieuses de cette intégration d’une divination au départ étrangère. The irony of someone like Cato surprised that an haruspex did not laugh when he met another haruspex conceals the importance and the diversity of Roman recourse to officials who could tell the feelings of the gods through the interpretation of thunders, entrails of the victims of sacrifices and prodigies. This book deals with the divination of Etruscan origin being used and applied in the Roman world, from the beginning to the sixth century A.D. It attempts to show when how and why the Romans have integrated the haruspices in their private and public religion. It describes the historical modes, the social consequences and the religious implications of integrating such divination, which came originally from abroad.

Abstract

Etruscans were deemed “the most religious of men” by their Roman successors and it is hardly surprising that the topic of Etruscan religion has been explored for some time now. This volume offers a contribution to the continued study of Etruscan religion and daily life, by focusing on the less explored issue of ritual. Ritual is approached through fourteen case studies, considering mortuary customs, votive rituals and other religious and daily life practices. The book gathers new material, interpretations and approaches to the less emphasized areas of Etruscan religion, especially its votive aspects, based on archaeological and epigraphic sources.

Abstract

New insights on the reception of Etruscan antiquity in the modernist period."L'Étrurie est à la mode", French archaeologist Salomon Reinach bluntly stated in 1927. Since the beginning of the nineteenth century, Etruria had not only been attracting the attention of archaeologists and specialists of all sorts, but it had also been a fascinating and, in some cases, captivating destination for poets, novelists, painters and sculptors from all over Europe. This volume deals with the impact of the constantly expanding knowledge on the Etruscans and their mysterious civilisation on Italian, French, English, and German literature, arts and culture, with particular regard to the modernist period (1890-1950). The volume brings a distinctive point of view to the subject by approaching it from an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective, and by looking at a quite diverse range of topics and artefacts, which includes, but is not limited to, the study of drawings, art works, travel essays, novels, cooking recipes, schoolbooks, photographs, and movies.By exploring a new paradigm to understand ancient cultures, beyond the traditional ideas and models of "reception of the classics", and by challenging the alleged fracture between the so-called "two cultures" of humanities and natural sciences, Modern Etruscans will be of interest to scholars from various disciplines. Designed as a learning tool for university courses on the interplay between literature and science in the twentieth century, it is suited as recommended reading for students in the humanities.Contributors: Francesca Orestano (Università degli Studi di Milano), Chiara Zampieri (KU Leuven), Bart Van den Bossche (KU Leuven), Lisa C.

Abstract

Le livre rassemble les actes d’un colloque tenu à Amiens en décembre 2014 sur les Étrusques à l’époque du fascisme et du nazisme. L’étruscologie est alors une toute jeune discipline universitaire et scientifique, qui subit dans toute l’Europe une crise multiforme qui a touché les contenus et les acteurs de la discipline et dont les effets se sont fait sentir très différemment selon les pays européens. Les tensions se cristallisent surtout autour de la question controversée des origines. La thèse de l’autochtonie connaît un renouveau d’intérêt en Italie ; en revanche, en Allemagne, l’aspect oriental des Étrusques est souligné. La crise atteint un sommet au moment de l’axe Rome-Berlin et menace le recrutement de nouveaux étruscologues dans toute l’Europe et se répercute sur l’image des Étrusques dans la culture populaire. “Race orientale”, dégénérée et pervertie ou “race incertaine”, les Étrusques sont souvent traités sous un angle plus politique que scientifique. The book contains the proceedings of a conference held in Amiens in December 2014 on the Etruscans in the time of fascism and nazism. Etruscology was a young scientific and scholarly discipline, which soffered in Europe for a wide crisis that affected the contents and the main figures of that discipline and whose effects are different in each European country. The debate about the controversial question of the Etruscan origins was particularly passionate. The thesis of autochtony had a renewed interest in Italy, whereas German scholars stressed the oriental manners of the Etruscans. This controversy reached its peak at the moment of the Rome-Berlin axis and is an obstacle to recruiting etruscologists across Europe. In addition, it had consequences on the Etruscans’ image in popular culture. "Oriental race” or “uncertain race”, the Etruscans were often studied from a political rather than from a scientific point of view.
