Reseña del libro "Culture and Society at Lullingstone Roman Villa (en Inglés)"
Culture and Society at Lullingstone Roman Villa paints a picture of what life might have been like for the inhabitants of the villa in the late third and fourth centuries AD. The villa today, in the Darent Valley, Kent, has an unusual amount of well-preserved evidence for its interior decoration and architecture. Seventy years on from the commencement of the excavation of the site, this study draws on the original reports but also embraces innovative approaches to examining the archaeological evidence and sheds new light on our understanding of the villa’s use. For the first time, the site of Lullingstone Roman Villa is surveyed holistically, developing a plausible argument that the inhabitants used domestic space to assert their status and cultural identity. An exploration of the landscape setting asks whether property location was as important a factor in the time of Roman Britain as it is today and probes the motives of the villa’s architects and their client. Lullingstone’s celebrated mosaics are also investigated from a fresh perspective. Why were these scenes chosen and what impact did they have on various visitors to the villa? Comparison with some contemporary Romano-British villas allows us to assess whether Lullingstone is what we would expect, or whether it is exceptional. Examples from the wider Roman world are also introduced to enquire how Lullingstone’s residents adopted Roman architecture and potentially the social customs which accompanied it.Table of ContentsPreface and Acknowledgements Chapter One: Introduction Chapter Two: The villa within its landscape setting and the role of topography in the owner’s self-representation Landscape setting Ancillary buildings Circular shrine and temple-mausoleum Granary Comparable villas A further case study: Chedworth Chapter Three: The choice and use of mosaics in the fourth century villa: how the patron presented his cultural identity and status through pavements Grand designs The central room The seasons Bellerophon The apse Europa and the bull The inscription An incongruous combination?
