Goddesses, heroes and monarchs: landowners and their spouses on mosaics of Roman Africa

Abstracts

EN

In Roman Africa of the second c. AD, especially in the province Africa Proconsularis, a special form of provincial Roman art appeared: figural mosaic. These mosaics, depicting mythological or everyday life scenes, were displayed either in the context of public buildings, such as amphitheatres, or private estates (villae) of influential land owners. Those with representations of land owners and their wives draw particular attention. These people were shown mostly at leisure. The paper aims to show that the way African land owners and their wives are represented alludes to the imperial, heroic and even divine iconography (Venus) through the choice of topics, poses or costumes.
