Abstract

Abstract In the Roman world, lamps with replicated images of sex were in circulation from the late 1st c. BCE until the end of the 4th c. CE. This paper maps out key regional and chronological trends in the representation and consumption of these objects using data from 11 provincial sites. It demonstrates sustained sensitivity of replicated sexual disc-reliefs to distinctive regional styles of consumption and representation. It also shows that symplegmata disc-reliefs were interacting and changing over time, resulting in innovative imagery that produced new meanings in localized contexts. This is the first comparative systematic study of the styles of consumption and representation of replicated lamp iconography using statistical methods. As such, the paper contributes a novel methodological approach to Roman sexuality research and also advances our understanding of how Roman replicated sexual imagery came about, how it constructed meaning, and how it was consumed by different communities over time.
罗马灯上的性艺术:各省数据分析
摘要在罗马世界,从公元前1世纪末到公元4世纪末,带有复制性图像的灯具一直在流通。本文利用11个省级地点的数据,绘制了这些物品的代表性和消费的主要区域和时间趋势。它展示了复制性椎间盘浮雕对独特的地区消费和表现风格的持续敏感性。它还表明,症状盘浮雕是随着时间的推移而相互作用和变化的,从而产生了在局部语境中产生新意义的创新图像。这是第一次使用统计方法对复制灯具图像的消费风格和表现形式进行比较系统的研究。因此,这篇论文为罗马人的性研究提供了一种新的方法论方法,也促进了我们对罗马人复制的性意象是如何产生的,它是如何构建意义的,以及它是如何随着时间的推移被不同的社区消费的理解。
