In her review of Dario Calomino’s book Defacing the Past, Anna Anzorge-Potrzebowska presents her reflections on the condemnation of memory inspired by this publication. Calomino’s aim has been to trace the changes introduced to the images of Roman rulers across various media. Those changes could (though not always had to) bear marks of a negative judgment of a given figure for ideological or political reasons. Calomino’s focus is on numismatics. His considerations are supplemented by references to analogous modifications of images of people from the emperors’ entourage and extensive use of sources other than numismatic. This approach places Calomino in a stream of research connected with the condemnation of memory. The way this author conducts the narrative also highlights such issues as the memory culture, the policy of historical memory in the Roman empire. The reviewer deliberately indicates here the area of the empire because Calomino’s book is not devoted exclusively to the Roman perspective.

W artykule omówiono książkę Daria Calomino Defacing the Past: Damnation and Desecration in Imperial Rome. Jej autor prześledził zmiany wizerunku rzymskich władców i osób z ich kręgu nanoszone na różne nośniki, w tym zwłaszcza na numizmaty. Zmiany te mogły być rezultatem negatywnego osądu konkretnej postaci z przyczyn ideologicznych bądź politycznych, można je więc połączyć z procesem potępiania pamięci - damnatio memoriae. W drugiej części artykułu zaprezentowano skrótowo historię badań nad tym zjawiskiem, wskazując przy tym jego aktualność i atrakcyjność poznawczą.

This article presents information about Christina, saint, eremite and subsequent superior in Markyate, who lived in England in the 12th century. The study aims to elucidate the person of the saint, so little known in Poland. In order to encourage reading of the “Life,” the author, apart from sketching the saint’s biography, discusses the role of women during the Middle Ages as well as refers to an extraordinary friendship between Christina and an abbot from one of the most influential monasteries of the twelfth-century England - Geoffrey of Gorham – who was a cause of damnatio memoriae after his death.
