The aim of this research project is to investigate the representation of Greek mythological narratives in the visual culture of Roman Italy, focussing on the period 50 BC-AD 250. Through exploration of the appropriation and reuse of Greek myths in Roman art the research will contribute to two current fields of scholarly enquiry: the ways that borrowings from Greek art took on new meanings in a Roman context, and the broader questions of how the Romans responded to the cultures they encountered, especially that of Greece, and how Roman imperial culture developed in Rome and Italy during this period. The project is one of cultural history, investigating the role played by the visual within the development and experience of Roman cultural life.The specific aims of the research project are to investigate the representation of myths in domestic and funerary art across a range of media (painting, reliefs, sculpture) to see which themes appear in different contexts and to explore the responses that these images invited from their viewers. In particular, it will suggest that myths could work in three separate but interlocked ways. They suggest access into a fantasy world of Greek culture, as an escape from daily life, while simultaneously providing an impetus for displays of education and cultural knowledge from those who were viewing them. They could also act as examples for the fates of men - either as moral warnings or, in a funerary context, as consolations for the bereaved. In disentangling the various responses that the images provoke, the project aims to illuminate our understanding of the complex ways in which Greek culture was adopted and adapted for Roman life. The primary audience for this research project will be among scholars of the ancient world. However, in its focus on the use of visual culture to express individual responses to life and death, and for the expression of self-representation, it will also contribute to a wider understanding of the importance of art in expressions of identity and status. As a study of cultural appropriation and the development of identities drawn from separate cultural traditions, it can also have implications for modern multiculturalism.

该研究项目的目的是调查希腊神话叙事在罗马意大利的视觉文化中的代表，重点关注50 BC-AD 250的时期。通过探索罗马艺术中希腊神话的申请和重复利用这项研究将为当前的学术询问而造成的两个问题，从而促进了新的卑鄙行动，这是对新的卑鄙行动的繁华，该领域是罗马人如何促进了新的卑鄙行动，而这是罗马人的范围。他们遇到的文化，尤其是希腊的文化，以及在此期间罗马和意大利的罗马帝国文化如何发展。该项目是文化历史之一，调查了视觉在罗马文化生活的发展和经验中所扮演的角色。研究项目的具体目的是调查在各种媒体（绘画，绘画，救济，雕塑，雕塑）中的家庭和葬礼艺术中神话的代表，以查看哪些主题在不同的环境中出现在不同的环境中，并探索这些图像受邀请的图像所吸引的图像。特别是，这表明神话可以以三种不同但互锁的方式工作。他们建议进入希腊文化的幻想世界，以逃避日常生活，同时为观看者的教育和文化知识提供了动力。他们还可以作为人类命运的例子 - 作为道德警告，或者在葬礼的背景下，作为丧亲者的安慰。在解散图像引起的各种反应时，该项目旨在阐明我们对采用希腊文化的复杂方式的理解，并适应罗马生活。该研究项目的主要受众将是古代世界的学者之一。然而，在其专注于使用视觉文化来表达对生命和死亡的个人反应以及自我代表的表达时，它也将有助于更广泛地理解艺术在表达身份和地位方面的重要性。作为对文化占用和从不同文化传统汲取的身份发展的研究，它也可能对现代多元文化主义具有影响。
