Remedios Varo’s Venezuelan Sojourn (1947-1949): An Exploration of Sources
Presented by Margaret Carson (Modern Languages)
Two Sarcophagi from Roman Berytus and their Ancient Patrons
Presented by Sarah Madole Lewis (Music and Art)
Two Roman sarcophagi from modern-day Beirut (ancient Berytus) were discovered in 1832 and brought to America aboard the USS Constitution. Who were the ancient patrons that paid for these expensive and relatively flashy marble coffins? In the ancient world, no less than today, individuals selected markers of both personal and collective identity to communicate with viewers that encountered their tombs. This research stems from a larger book project that explores sarcophagi as collective family tombs in the Roman East.
