The Polychromie of Ancient Art

-
Image
Although ancient Greek art was, in fact, painted, the idea that it only consisted of plain white marble sculptures still largely remains in the public imagination and has long been an established fact among scholars. Even though evidence to the contrary has presented itself it took quite a while for scholars to recognize ancient Greek polychromy as an established fact. This essay will look at ancient polychromy. It will particularly look at the fact that ancient Rome and Greek polychromy took such a long time to be generally recognized amongst scholars. I will look at how scholars simply discounted the evidence and why they would have done so.                                                          ...

It was commonplace in ancient Rome to accept foreign gods into the Romans pantheon and Rome was in fact home to many foreign gods, but just how foreign were these gods? This essay will be looking at Rome’s attitude towards foreign gods. In doing so it will particularly look at the cult of Cybele and the cult of Isis as examples of foreign cults in Rome. This essay will particularly be focusing on why these two cults would have been considered foreign context. It will also be looking at how these cults were viewed by the Romans because of their otherness. The cult of Cybele is a particularly strange foreign cult seeing as Cybele is an essential part of roman society, but at the same time its members are ridiculed and ostracized because of their strange practices. To understand the position Cybele has within Roman society one must look at the conditions under which she was brought into Rome. The Romans won a victory in 207 BCE, but Hannibal was still in Italy. In 205 BCE a p...
