Pomniki nagrobne kampańskich Augustales: badania wstępne

Abstracts

PL

W artykule prezentowane są wyniki wstępnych badań dotyczących pomników nagrobnych kampańskich Augustales. Autor skupił się zarówno na ich materialnym komponencie (nośniki inskrypcji, a także zachowane w nielicznych przypadkach grobowce; omówiona została typologia pomników, materiał, z którego je wykonano, ich rozmiar i towarzyszące im przedstawienia ikonograficzne) jak i na informacjach zawartych w tekstach inskrypcji nagrobnych, które dotyczą m.in. pozycji społecznej, aktywności euergetycznej i więzi rodzinnych Augustales. Rezultatem badań jest katalog pomników nagrobnych Augustales, które poddano wstępnej analizie (w ujęciu geograficznym i chronologicznym). W zamyśle autora artykuł ten ma być przyczynkiem do dalszych studiów na temat specyfiki pomników nagrobnych kampańskich Augustales – czy to na tle wznoszonych przez innych mieszkańców kampańskich miast, czy, w szerszym kontekście geograficznym, na tle pomników nagrobnych italskich Augustales.

The article presents the results of a preliminary study on funerary monuments of Campanian Augustales. The author focused on the material objects (meaning objects upon which the text was inscribed and preserved tombs) – their typology, the material from which they were made, their size and accompanying iconographic representations – as well as on information left in inscriptions by their commissioners (regarding, i.a., social status, euergetic activity and the familial ties of Augustales). As a result, a catalogue of funerary monuments of Campanian Augustales was created and a preliminary analysis (from a geographical and chronological perspective) was conducted. The author intends this article to be a preliminary study for further research on the specificity of funerary monuments of Campanian Augustales. These monuments will be discussed against the background of funerary monuments of inhabitants of other Campanian cities and, in a broader geographical context, against the background of funerary monuments of Italian Augustales.
