    Note: these results are not from the primary (high quality) database.

Emperor Antoninus and Empress Faustina become Gods In this beautiful base of a column dedicated to Antoninus Pius, contemporary reliefs on opposite faces of the block employ not only two very different systems of perspective, but represent the two prevailing artistic modes of Roman art: the classical and the abstract. Apotheosis of Emperor Antoninus (c161 AD) and his wife, Faustina, from the base of the column of Antoninus Pius (now lost). The perspective of this composition is decidedly abstracted and nearly short-hand in nature, as the circular configuration of horses and riders are seen both as profile and from an elevated vantage point. harpy.uccs.edu /roman/html/antonin.html   (167 words)

The Baldwin Project: The Story of the Romans by H. A. Guerber When Antoninus died, at the age of seventy-four, the people all mourned for him as for a father; and they erected a column in his honor, of which nothing but the base can now be seen. Antoninus had no ambition to reign, but he accepted the crown because it had been Hadrian's wish that he should look after the welfare of the Roman people. The leaders of the conspiracy, fearing his wrath, killed themselves in their terror; but Antoninus would not allow any inquiry to be made into the plot, lest he should hear that there were other Romans who hated him. www.mainlesson.com /display.php?author=guerber&book=romans&story=pius   (435 words)

Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2000.12.08 The monuments that D. analyzes in depth are: the Mausoleum of Augustus and its associated structures, Arch of Titus, Temple of the Flavian Dynasty, Column of Trajan, Mausoleum of Hadrian, Column of Antoninus Pius, and Column of Marcus Aurelius. The similarities of Hadrian's mausoleum to that of Augustus, and of the Column of Marcus Aurelius to that of Trajan are self-evident, and we can assume a deliberate quotation in each case. Domitian, not to be outdone by Augustus in paralleling himself to Romulus, later situated the Templum Gentis Flaviae in close proximity to the Temple of Quirinus. ccat.sas.upenn.edu /bmcr/2000/2000-12-08.html   (167 words)

Mausoleum of Hadrian (The largest tomb in the Roman world was that of Augustus, which Hadrian consciously did not attempt to surpass.) In it were placed the cinerary urns of Hadrian; Antoninus Pius and his wife, Faustina; Lucius Verus; Marcus Aurelius and his son, Commodus; Septimius Severus and his family, Julia Domna, Geta, and Caracalla. Hadrian built a new mausoleum (Mausoleum Hadriani), which was completed by his adoptive son and sucessor Antoninus Pius in AD 139, the year after Hadrian's death. Until the time of Nerva, the ashes of the Roman emperors had been placed in the Mausoleum of Augustus, although Trajan's remains were put in the base of his column in the Forum of Trajan. itsa.ucsf.edu /~snlrc/encyclopaedia_romana/romanurbs/mausoleum.html   (167 words)

BBC - History - Roman Religion Gallery The image shown here is that of a sculpted relief from the base of the column of the emperor Antoninus Pius, probably to be dated to AD 161. The apotheosis (transformation into gods) of Antoninus Pius and his wife Faustina; sculpted relief, c.AD 161  © The imperial cult helped to focus the loyalty of provincials on the emperor at the centre of the empire, and in some regions (such as Gaul), there is evidence that Roman authorities took the initiative in setting it up, presumably for that very reason. www.bbc.co.uk /history/ancient/romans/roman_religion_gallery_06.shtml   (167 words)

Table of Contents and Excerpt, Davies, Death and the Emperor Similarly, I discuss the Apotheosis of Sabina panel in some detail alongside the apotheosis relief on the Column base of Antoninus Pius, but I do not include an analysis of the full range of commemorative coins struck or altars erected in honor of deceased empresses. I have not, however, set out to do this exhaustively here; thus I discuss the Ara Pacis and the Solarium in some depth as part of Augustus's Campus Martius complex, but I have not attempted a thorough reading of the Basilica Ulpia (for instance) in the light of Trajan's Column as a tomb. Alongside the funerary monuments that are my primary focus, I discuss a select group of other works when their association with a funerary monument, topographical or otherwise, implicates them either as part of a program or as necessary comparanda to tease out meaning. www.utexas.edu /utpress/excerpts/exdavdep.html   (167 words)

On one side, we see the emperor and his consort carried to the Elysian Fields (the Roman Heaven) on the back of a psychopomp figure (probably the god Aion) who is the guide of dead souls to their destination. On the opposite face is seen a decursio, an equestrian assembly in honor of the dead ruler. harpy.uccs.edu /roman/html/antonin.html   (2269 words)

Trajan, His Column That same year he put St. Paul on the top of the restored column of Antoninus Pius in Piazza Colonna and re-sited and re-erected the obelisks. His ashes were placed either in the central chamber of the cubic base of the column (where there are two niches) or in a gold plated ball in the hand of the Trajan statue, depending on what sources you believe. Above the column is an 18 foot pedestal that was initially the perch of a giant bronze eagle. www.mmdtkw.org /VTrajanColumn.html   (992 words)
