‎ROME ancienne & moderne, depuis sa fondation jusqu'à nos jours Mary Lafon‎

‎'' Rome ancienne - Rome souterraine et Byzantine - Rome Féodale et Papale - Rome moderne '' Rome, la capitale de l'Italie, est une ville riche en histoire, avec des couches d'histoire allant de l'Antiquité à la période moderne. Voici un aperçu des différentes périodes de l'histoire de Rome : Rome ancienne : La fondation légendaire de Rome remonte à 753 av. J.-C. selon la tradition romaine. Rome antique était le centre de l'Empire romain, qui a atteint son apogée au Ier siècle av. J.-C. et au Ier siècle de notre ère. C'était une période de grande prospérité, de développement architectural et de conquêtes militaires. Parmi les monuments les plus célèbres de cette époque, on trouve le Colisée, le Forum romain, le Panthéon et le Circus Maximus. Rome souterraine et Byzantine : Sous la Rome antique, il y avait un réseau complexe de catacombes souterraines utilisées pour l'inhumation. La période byzantine de Rome a commencé après la chute de l'Empire romain d'Occident en 476 de notre ère et a duré jusqu'à la conquête de la ville par les Lombards en 751. Pendant cette période, Rome est devenue une partie de l'Empire byzantin. Rome Féodale et Papale : Après la chute de l'Empire romain, Rome est devenue une ville importante dans le cadre du Saint-Empire romain germanique. Au Moyen Âge, Rome est devenue le siège du pouvoir papal et du christianisme. Les papes résidaient au Vatican, et la ville est devenue le centre de l'Église catholique romaine. Des bâtiments emblématiques tels que la basilique Saint-Pierre, la Chapelle Sixtine et le Palais du Latran ont été construits pendant cette période. Rome moderne : Au cours des siècles suivants, Rome est devenue une ville importante dans la Renaissance italienne, avec des artistes tels que Michel-Ange et Léonard de Vinci qui ont travaillé sur des projets importants à Rome. Au XIXe siècle, Rome est devenue la capitale du Royaume d'Italie unifié, mettant fin à des siècles de domination papale. Aujourd'hui, Rome est une ville moderne qui allie son histoire riche à une vie contemporaine animée. Elle est célèbre pour ses musées, ses galeries d'art, sa cuisine, et bien sûr, le Vatican, qui reste un centre religieux majeur. Chacune de ces périodes a laissé une empreinte significative sur la ville de Rome, et nous pouvons explorer ses différentes facettes en visitant ses nombreux sites historiques et culturels. fort volume in-4, 270x180, relié demi chagrin, dos à nerfs, frottements, toutes tranches dorées, 673 pages, poids 2,2 kg Ouvrage orné d'un joli panorama dépliant de Rome, signée de Rouargue et Doherty.

‎Rome 1450. Capgrave's Jubilee Guide. The Solace of Pilgrimes‎

‎, Brepols, 2022 Paperback, xcv + 442 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:63 b/w, 1 col., Language(s):English, Middle English. ISBN 9782503594675.‎

‎Summary The scene is Rome in the fifteenth century, Golden Rome, a magnet drawing pilgrims by its architectural attractions and the magnitude of its religious importance as the mother of faith. The Austin friar John Capgrave attended Rome for the Jubilee in 1450, including the Lenten stations, and his Solace of Pilgrimes, intended as a guide for subsequent pilgrims, was written up following the author's own pilgrimage. In three parts it covers the ancient monuments, the seven principal churches and the Lenten stations, and other churches of note, especially those dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The work has been described as the most ambitious description of Rome in Middle English. The present edition offers a new Text based on a transcription of the author's holograph manuscript. Parallel with the Text there is a modern English Translation. The illustrations, mostly from a period slightly later than the 1450 Jubilee, aim to give some visual clue as to what Capgrave saw. There is a full account of the multiple sources that he used, most of which is the product of new research. Following the Text there is a Commentary that aims to provide some background information about the buildings and monuments that Capgrave focuses on, and to explain and illuminate any difficulties or points of interest in the Text. Capgrave is an omni-present guide leading us towards what he considered an appropriate interpretation of the classical past as a foundation for the Christian present, which built on it and surpassed it.

‎Noble Magnificence. Culture of the Performing Arts in Rome 1644-1740‎

‎Summary The thirty chapters in this book are based on the work of an international, multidisciplinary team of researchers and archivists brought together for the PerformArt project, funded by the European Research Council from 2016 to 2022. This project investigated the artistic patronage of the great Roman aristocratic families of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries through research in the extant archives. After the accession to the papal throne of Innocent X in 1644, and more so after the Peace of the Pyrenees in 1659 - which led to a greater loss of power for the pope in his relations with other European states - the Roman families stepped up their efforts to assert their social preeminence not only through architecture and the fine arts, but also through the ephemeral performing arts: music, theatre, and dance, which were omnipresent throughout the year and especially during the intense period of artistic production that was the Roman Carnival. The search for traces of these spectacles in the archives of these families reveals that their desire to display their magnificence - an ideal well documented in the literature of the period - gave rise to lavish expenditure on a scale that could only be justified by the benefits (if not tangible, then at least symbolic) they hoped to gain. The essays in this book, which draw on social economic history, the history of ideas, and the evolving artistic practices of the time, make a major contribution to our knowledge of courtly societies in Ancien R gime Europe by integrating the performing arts into their analyses in innovative ways.

‎Caesar, Rome and Beyond. New Research and Recent Discoveries‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Paperback, xvi + 234 p, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:85 b/w, 43 col., 2 tables b/w., 12 maps b/w, 12 maps color, Language(s):English, Italian. ISBN 9782503603445.‎

‎Summary In the Late Republican period, Rome underwent monumental changes. Within the city, numerous building projects were undertaken by the wealthy and politically powerful as they jostled for power, while further afield, wars were fought and Rome's authority gradually expanded into new territories. One of the key players in this field was Julius Caesar, who took advantage of the fluid and fast-changing political and military alliances to position himself in the centre of power. During this time, he became the first to design a forum ? the Forum Iulium, now known as Caesar's Forum ? in his family's name. Today, this site, in the very heart of Rome, is home to The Caesar's Forum Project, where excavations have yielded new knowledge about both the long history of Rome, and the broader context of its global history and cultural heritage. Taking this project as its starting point, this volume draws together scholars working both on the excavations, and on Caesar more generally, to shed new light on the often enigmatic figure of Julius Caesar. The chapters gathered here offer insights into remains and sources from both the time of Caesar and from later periods, giving new perspectives not only on his life and death, but also on the central role that he has ever since continued to play in historiography since.

‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- EX-LIBRIS Charles MONIER DE LA SIZERANNE ---- "ROME DE L'ISLE'S LAW OF THE CONSTANCY OF INTERFACIAL ANGLES" ---- "Romé De l'Isle shares the honor of having helped to found the science of crystallography along with Haüy, Steno and a few others". (Hoover Collection) ---- "Romé's chief scientific goal was the establishment of mineralogy on a firm basis of crystallography. His major contribution toward this end was the formulation of the law of the constancy of interfacial angles which became the cornestone of crystallography. Although earlier investigators - including Hooke, Erasmus Bartholin, Steno, Huygens, Philippe de la Hire and Guglielmini - had made incidental statements about such a constancy in one or two substances, Romé and Carangeot were the first to enunciate it as a general law of nature... His major work, the Cristallographie (1783), was first advertised as a second edition of his Essai, but instead it was expanded and comprised three volumes and an atlas describing more than 450 crystal forms. In this book rather than using any physical basis, Romé followed both Linnaeus and Domenico Guglielmini in classifying crystals by arbitrary primitive formes. Each crystal described was measured precisely. In the course of making terracotta models, Romé's assistant, Arnould Carangeot, had discovered the fundamental law of the constancy of interfacial angles ; and, using a contact goniometer invented for the purpose, he had made measurements of the interfacial angles (exact to about half a degree) of each mineral that Romé listed. Both these aspects - the tabulation of primitive forms and the measurement of interfacial angles - were of central importance to Romé's crystallography...". (DSB XI pp. 520/523)**4551/ARB5‎
