Description
An account of the resource
The classicist Richard Hingley wrote ‘the Classical past retains a highly significant relationship to the present’. It is true that no cultural tradition develops in a vacuum and we are all influenced by those who have gone before us. The exhibition Maths, Politics and Concrete: The Legacy of the Classical World aims to highlight some of the influences that the ancient Greeks and Romans have had on western civilisation. Mathematics, democracy, medicine, literature, philosophy, law, architecture and engineering are just some of the areas where western cultural heritage owes much to classical Greece and Rome.
With the reintroduction of many ancient texts to Renaissance Europe, Classical Studies enjoyed a resurgence in the 14th century and consequently, in the 18th and 19th centuries it became central to, what was thought to be, a ‘good’ education. The latter part of the 20th century saw a decline in classical studies as part of mainstream education. Now, however, more than ever before, we have more resources and technology available that enable us to study and appreciate the ancient world of the Greeks and Romans and remind ourselves of some of our cultural roots.
From Homer’s Odyssey and the nascent secular intellectualism of the early Greek philosophers, to the recipe for concrete and the perfection of archway construction, the Classical World has left a legacy which we now take for granted. The exhibition features works by, among others, Ovid, Apollonius, Archimedes, Xenophon and Marcus Aurelius – names not necessarily familiar to all but ones which have definitely shaped the past and are still very important today. Please enjoy yourself as you view volumes from Special Collections and take time to discover how the ancient world has impacted on yours.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
This engraving of the Colisseum in Rome was published by Giovanni Giacomo de’ Rossi in the 17th century. De’ Rossi inherited his father’s publishing business and worked with Giovanni Battista Falda (c. 1640-78), artist, architect and engraver, to create detailed engravings of Rome’s famous monuments and buildings.

Description
An account of the resource
‘A man who has not been in Italy, is always conscious of an inferiority, from his not having seen what it is expected a man should see.’ - Dr Samuel Johnson
Italy – what dreams and romantic longings the name conjures up. Florence, Venice, Rome – landmarks of European history and civilization. The country of Caesar, Cicero, Horace, and Virgil: the land which gave birth to Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian, Dante, Ariosto, and Tasso. The list would be endless if it also encompassed ‘modern’ day celebrities such as Giuseppe Verdi, Enrico Fermi, Sofia Loren, Giorgio Armani, Dino Zoff (considered the best goalkeeper in the history of football), and the controversial Silvio Berlusconi.
Renowned for its architecture, its complex historical past, its literature, fashion, and cuisine, Italy is now sub-divided into 20 regions, where most speak Italian (a Florentine variety of Tuscan). Viva l’Italia: A Regional Romp through Italy is an exhibition that is constructed around images of Italian cities from a 17th century copy of Pietro Bertelli’s Theatro delle Citta d’Italia (1629). By utilising these images, the viewer ‘romps’ through the various regions of the country from Piedmont in the north, to Puglia in the southeast, Sardinia in the west, and Sicily in the southwest. The Republic (formed in 1946) encompasses some 301,338 kilometres. By necessity coverage is selective, an overview that covers most regions, not all cities, and not all facets of this richly diverse country.
Most of the Italian books in this exhibition are from the collections of Esmond de Beer and Charles Brasch, which are housed in Special Collections. Both men thoroughly enjoyed what Italy offered to the world; we are grateful for their passion. Forza Italia!

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Built on the site of a ruined first century athletics venue, the Piazza Navona (a large ship, from the water) is as popular today as a tourist destination as it was in the 17th century. Every weekend in August from 1652 to 1866 the drains of one of the fountains in the Piazza were blocked causing a lake to form. Romans and tourists would drive their carriages and their horses through it or promenade around the edges of the temporary lake. Needless to say the state of the water at the end of the weekend was certainly not suitable for swimming. Note the food stalls set up around the edges of the lake in this 17th century engraving.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The ‘Eternal City’ of Rome was established on the banks of the river Tiber in the 8th century BC. At the height of the Roman Empire (2nd century AD) over a million people lived there. Legend has it that the mythical founders of Rome, twins Romulus and Remus, were abandoned at birth and found and suckled by a she-wolf after which a shepherd and his wife adopted the pair. In adulthood, while trying to found a new city, the twins argued and Romulus killed his brother Remus. Romulus went on to found Rome, supposedly in 753 BC; he named it after himself and the rest, as they say, is history.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
As the city of Rome and its population grew so did the need for a constant supply of fresh water, free from contamination, for public baths, fountains, latrines, industry and some private dwellings. The first aqueduct supplying Rome was built in 300 BC and by 300 AD there were eleven aqueducts carrying in millions of litres of water a day. Aqueducts relied on gravity alone for water movement and Vitruvius posits a gradient of 1:4800 as optimal. In the 17th century, Italian antiquarian Raphael Fabretti wrote three dissertations on Rome’s aqueducts. This engraving of the Aqua Alexandrina, built in 226 AD and supplying the Baths of Alexander, describes some of the above ground parts of the 22.4 km long aqueduct. The aqueduct, still visible in Rome today, was thought to supply between 120,000 and 300,000 cubic metres of water a day.
(Key to Fabretti’s engraving
Page 8: A=the space or hollow through which the water flowed
Page 9 (top):A=the space or hollow through which the water flowed; B=the ventilation shaft to maintain freshness and allow
access; C=the ridge of the arch; D=the form of the arch upright
Page 9 (bottom): A settling tank where the water is carried through (A) and (B) into the tank (C), where the mud in the water remained. Purified water exited through (D) and (E) and continued its journey to the city.)

The list would be endless if it also encompassed ‘modern’ day celebrities such as Giuseppe Verdi, Enrico Fermi, Sofia Loren, Giorgio Armani, Dino Zoff (considered the best goalkeeper in the history of football), and the controversial Silvio Berlusconi.
Renowned for its architecture, its complex historical past, its literature, fashion, and cuisine, Italy is now sub-divided into 20 regions, where most speak Italian (a Florentine variety of Tuscan). Viva l’Italia: A Regional Romp through Italy is an exhibition that is constructed around images of Italian cities from a 17th century copy of Pietro Bertelli’s Theatro delle Citta d’Italia (1629). By utilising these images, the viewer ‘romps’ through the various regions of the country from Piedmont in the north, to Puglia in the southeast, Sardinia in the west, and Sicily in the southwest. The Republic (formed in 1946) encompasses some 301,338 kilometres. By necessity coverage is selective, an overview that covers most regions, not all cities, and not all facets of this richly diverse country.
Most of the Italian books in this exhibition are from the collections of Esmond de Beer and Charles Brasch, which are housed in Special Collections. Both men thoroughly enjoyed what Italy offered to the world; we are grateful for their passion. Forza Italia!

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
This 17th century engraving lays out Rome of that time replete with some still familiar landmarks. The Vatican and St Peter’s Square spread out at the bottom left; the bush-covered ruins of the Baths of the Roman Emperor Diocletian (245-311), top centre-left; the Colosseum, the largest amphitheatre in the world sits top centre-right; Tiber Island floats boat-like in the middle of the river, centre right; and the whole city is surrounded by fortified walls punctuated by gates or <em>porta</em> leading in and out of the city. Today up to ten million tourists visit Rome each year.

By utilising these images, the viewer ‘romps’ through the various regions of the country from Piedmont in the north, to Puglia in the southeast, Sardinia in the west, and Sicily in the southwest. The Republic (formed in 1946) encompasses some 301,338 kilometres. By necessity coverage is selective, an overview that covers most regions, not all cities, and not all facets of this richly diverse country.
Most of the Italian books in this exhibition are from the collections of Esmond de Beer and Charles Brasch, which are housed in Special Collections. Both men thoroughly enjoyed what Italy offered to the world; we are grateful for their passion. Forza Italia!

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Rome has been an important centre for Christianity since the early years of the first millennium. The Emperor Constantine (272-337), a Christian convert, commissioned the building of the original St Peter’s Basilica in the early 4th century and the replacement building that stands there today was consecrated in 1626. Popes have lived in the Vatican since the late 14th century. This engraving shows the Pope opening a ‘holy door’ in the Basilica in a Jubilee year. Jubilee years have been celebrated since 1300, occurring every 25 years or so since 1450. During this time pilgrims pass through the door and are miraculously absolved of sin and receive a ‘universal pardon’.

‘A man who has not been in Italy, is always conscious of an inferiority, from his not having seen what it is expected a man should see.’ - Dr Samuel Johnson
Italy – what dreams and romantic longings the name conjures up. Florence, Venice, Rome – landmarks of European history and civilization. The country of Caesar, Cicero, Horace, and Virgil: the land which gave birth to Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian, Dante, Ariosto, and Tasso. The list would be endless if it also encompassed ‘modern’ day celebrities such as Giuseppe Verdi, Enrico Fermi, Sofia Loren, Giorgio Armani, Dino Zoff (considered the best goalkeeper in the history of football), and the controversial Silvio Berlusconi.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
80,000 cubic metres of water gush out of the Trevi Fountain every day. The Baroque-design fountain is made of travertine, a kind of limestone, and slabs of Carrara marble. The central figure of the fountain, built over a period of 30 years in the 18th century, is Oceanus or Neptune aboard his shell chariot pulled by two winged seahorses with mermaid tails. The seahorses are wrangled by Tritons or mermen. This 19th century guide book outlines an eight-day tour of Rome describing what monuments and buildings to visit. On the fourth day it suggests a trip to the Trevi Fountain where ‘the waters…rush out of a mass of rocks’

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Tiber Island or Isola Tiberina is connected to ‘mainland’ Rome by two bridges. It has been an important crossing point over the Tiber since ancient times. Since an outbreak of the plague in 293 BC, the island has been associated with Asclepias, the Greek god of medicine and healing. At this time a temple and a hospital were built there. A church was built on the site of the Temple of Asclepias at the end of the first millennium and was rebuilt in the 17th century. It still stands today. Another hospital, built in the 16th century to minister to and isolate victims of the plague, still operates today as Ospedale San Giovanni Calibita Fatebenefratelli, a 300-bed hospital with its own surgical and emergency departments.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The Medici, the Borgias, the Sforzas and the Borghese – just a handful of prominent Italian families that rose to power during the Renaissance. Marcantonio Borghese (d. 1574) moved to Rome and worked as a papal lawyer and politician; his son Camillo (1552-1621) became Pope Paul V in 1605. Pope Paul’s nephew Scipione Borghese (1577-1633), a cardinal and art lover, had the Villa Borghese built as his ‘out-of-town party pad’ and a repository for all his collected artworks. The villa and its gardens covered 148 acres. Today the building is known as the <em>Galleria Borghese</em> and houses much of the art work collected by Scipione – works by Caravaggio, Titian, Raphael, Rubens, Bernini, Canova, and others.

Maths, Politics & Concrete: The Legacy of the Classical World. Online exhibition
Description
An account of the resource
The classicist Richard Hingley wrote ‘the Classical past retains a highly significant relationship to the present’. It is true that no cultural tradition develops in a vacuum and we are all influenced by those who have gone before us. The exhibition Maths, Politics and Concrete: The Legacy of the Classical World aims to highlight some of the influences that the ancient Greeks and Romans have had on western civilisation. Mathematics, democracy, medicine, literature, philosophy, law, architecture and engineering are just some of the areas where western cultural heritage owes much to classical Greece and Rome.
With the reintroduction of many ancient texts to Renaissance Europe, Classical Studies enjoyed a resurgence in the 14th century and consequently, in the 18th and 19th centuries it became central to, what was thought to be, a ‘good’ education. The latter part of the 20th century saw a decline in classical studies as part of mainstream education. Now, however, more than ever before, we have more resources and technology available that enable us to study and appreciate the ancient world of the Greeks and Romans and remind ourselves of some of our cultural roots.
From Homer’s Odyssey and the nascent secular intellectualism of the early Greek philosophers, to the recipe for concrete and the perfection of archway construction, the Classical World has left a legacy which we now take for granted. The exhibition features works by, among others, Ovid, Apollonius, Archimedes, Xenophon and Marcus Aurelius – names not necessarily familiar to all but ones which have definitely shaped the past and are still very important today. Please enjoy yourself as you view volumes from Special Collections and take time to discover how the ancient world has impacted on yours.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The Forum: a place to meet, shop, make speeches, attend court, watch triumphal processions, gladiatorial bouts, criminal trials and executions; the place where Julius Caesar’s (100-44 BC) body was burned and Mark Antony (83-30 BC) announced the imminent death of his political opponents. Here was the centre of Roman politics, commerce and law. In this image on the far right is the Curia Julia or the Senate meeting house, dating from about 44 BC and named for Julius Caesar. At the back and slightly to the left is the Tabularium, completed in 78 BC, a building that housed the laws, records and archives of ancient Rome. The bottom half of the building is original while the top half dates to the 16th century. On the left are the ruins of the Basilica Julia, one corner of which is delineated by three arches, a building built in the 1st century BC to house civil law courts and a place for government administration.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
‘All roads lead to Rome’, so the saying goes, and the ancient Romans were certainly excellent road builders. By 200 AD there were 80,000 kilometres of roads throughout the Roman Empire. Rome, or Roma to the Italians, is the capital of both the region of Lazio and of Italy. Lazio is bordered by six other Italian regions and looks out onto the Tyrrhenian Sea. Almost six million people live in Lazio with about three million residing in the city of Rome.
