Monumentality in Etruscan and Early Roman Architecture: Ideology and Innovation
Editat de Michael L. Thomas, Gretchen E. Meyers Cuvânt după de Ingrid E. M. Edlund-Berryen Limba Engleză Paperback – noi 2012
Delving into the crucial period before the zenith of Imperial Roman building, Monumentality in Etruscan and Early Roman Architecture addresses such questions as, “What factors drove the emergence of scale as a defining element of ancient Italian architecture?” and “How did monumentality arise as a key feature of Roman architecture?” Contributors Elizabeth Colantoni, Anthony Tuck, Nancy A. Winter, P. Gregory Warden, John N. Hopkins, Penelope J. E. Davies, and Ingrid Edlund-Berry reflect on the ways in which ancient Etruscans and Romans utilized the concepts of commemoration, durability, and visibility to achieve monumentality. The editors’ preface and introduction underscore the notion of architectural evolution toward monumentality as being connected to the changing social and political strategies of the ruling elites.
By also considering technical components, this collection emphasizes the development and the ideological significance of Etruscan and early Roman monumentality from a variety of viewpoints and disciplines. The result is a broad range of interpretations celebrating both ancient and modern perspectives.

Recenzii
On relèvera à cet égard que les développements d’E. Colantoni sur les mutations architecturales observées dans le Latium protohistorique et auprès de certaines peuplades américaines et africaines apportent quelques éléments de comparaison inattendus et fort utiles.
