Corpus of Antique Sarcophagi Reliefs: Battle Sarcophagi and Mythological Sarcophagi

该项目旨在填补古董石棺浮雕语料库（ASR）的最后剩余空白，ASR是德国考古研究所（DAI）致力于基础研究的长期企业。一方面，在一组有人类生活场景的石棺中，这是关于战斗石棺的，另一方面是关于赫拉克勒斯和希波吕图斯的神话石棺。根据ASR的重组，这两组应在数据库的支持下进行编辑；将其数据处理后，纳入DAI图像数据库Arachne的石棺浏览器，供进一步分析。在这些关键项目完成后仍然存在的小型研究，以及已经在ASR范围内进行的项目的完成，可以由DAI和各自的伙伴机构自己的资源资助，不需要任何额外的外部资金。这组来自罗马城市车间的战斗石棺将被完整地分析和展示。一份包含大量摄影文献的目录将辅以对图像及其视觉文化的历史背景和艺术史分析，从而对战斗石棺进行文化和历史解读。战斗石棺比任何其他石棺都更适合揭示艺术与社会之间的关系，并研究外部影响与设计形式的相互作用。因此，在政治动荡时期（公元150-220年）的图像和风格的发展将得到澄清，并建立了约会的安全基础。罗马军事精英的任务完成了“生命”石棺的画面。可以证明社会角色和道德标准的代表以及规范性图像中当前价值观的写照。此外，在公元2世纪和3世纪，图像传播模式及其发展将变得透明。战斗石棺（ASR I, 1）的出版将完成石棺语料库的第一部分（ASR I, 1-4），即具有人类生命（vita humana）表征的石棺。城市罗马坟墓图像的中心主题将在其全部可用。这将为进一步的研究提供不可或缺的基础。赫拉克勒斯和希波吕忒斯的石棺将以相应的方式进行分析和呈现，通过这种方式，神话石棺部分被广泛的图像主题所补充，这些图像主题与坟墓表现中神话主题的选择的语义问题特别相关。数字文档和在图像数据库Arachne的石棺浏览器中构建结构化数据库是该项目不可或缺的组成部分。这将通过统计组合分析对石棺实证成分的进一步研究进行补充。

The project aims at closing last remaining gaps in the Corpus of Antique Sarcophagi Reliefs (ASR), a long-term enterprise by the German Archaeological Institute (DAI ) dedicated to fundamental research. On the one hand, within the group of sarcophagi with scenes from human life, this concerns the battle sarcophagi, on the other hand the mythological sarcophagi with Heracles and Hippolytus. According to the restructuring of the ASR, both groups shall be edited with the support of a database; their data shall be processed to be included into the sarcophagi browser of DAI's image database Arachne, allowing further analysis. Smaller studies still remaining upon completion of these key projects, as well as the completion of projects already ongoing within ASR, can be funded from own resources of the DAI and the respective partner institutions and will not require any additional external funding.The group of battle sarcophagi from workshops of urban Rome is to be analysed and presented in its entirety. A catalog with extensive photographic documentation will be complemented by the historical contextualisation and the art historical analysis of the images and their visual culture, resulting in a cultural and historical interpretation of the battle sarcophagi. The battle sarcophagi, more than any other group of sarcophagi, are appropriate to shed light on the relationship between art and society, and to examine the interaction of external influences and design forms. As a result, the development of imagery and style in a time of political upheaval (150-220 AD) will be clarified, and safe basics of dating will be established. The assignment to the military elite of Rome completes the tableau of the Vita Humana sarcophagi. The representation of social roles and ethical standards as well as the portrayal of current values in normative images can be demonstrated. Furthermore, the modes of pictorial communication and their development within the second and third Century AD will become transparent. The publication of the battle sarcophagi (ASR I, 1) will complete the first section of the corpus of sarcophagi (ASR I, 1-4), i.e. the sarcophagi with representations of human life (vita humana). A central topic of urban Roman sepulchral imagery will be available in its entirety. This will provide an indispensable basis for further research.The sarcophagi with Heracles and Hippolytus are to be analysed and presented in a corresponding manner, by which the section of mythological sarcophagi is supplemented by widespread image themes which have particular relevance to the semantic questions concerning the choice of mythical themes in sepulchral representations.The digital documentation and the building of a structured data base within the sarcophagi browser of the image database Arachne are integral components of the project. This will allow to complement further research on sarcophagi by empirical components through statistical combination analysis.
