Today, we examine the preeminent imperial thermae built before all other such complexes in the Eternal City. The Baths of Titus set the standard for what would become ever larger thermae complexes built during several succeeding imperial dynasties. When it came to the art of imperial propaganda, the Roman emperors could always be counted on to outdo their predecessors. As such, the eponymous emperor Titus sought to break the mould of what had previously been more disparate Roman baths scattered throughout the city, and establish a consolidated precinct within which all expected amenities were contained and laid out symmetrically, including frigidaria, tepidaria and caldaria (cold, tepid and hot bathing rooms).

Design Insights XLIII

 

One of the oft-spoken dividing lines when it comes to Roman history is "after the fire." Depending on the locale, the date mentioned immediately after would be different. Tales of the fire of 64 CE infamously - and spuriously - tell of Nero fiddling while he watched the city go up in flames from the safety of his palace window. When it comes to the Campus Martius region and my present Phase III design efforts, however, it is the fire of 80 CE which more clearly marked the turning point. Before the fire of 80 CE, public monuments were few and far between among private villas with sprawling horti: after, the monuments were rebuilt in even greater splendor while much of the private land was repurposed for the construction of publicly accessible temple complexes.

 

Among the densest areas of redevelopment during the aftermath of the conflagration is the subject of today's DESIGN Insights post. In it, we will discover two large precincts, both built in quick succession and comparable in size to any of the Imperial Fora. One was built to reinforce the legacy of the imperial family, while the other strengthened the image of Rome as the undisputed center of the Mediterranean world.

📜 The year was 13 BCE. Lucius Cornelius Balbus, proconsul in Roman Africa, was arriving in quite peculiar fashion to the dedication ceremony for his newly completed theatre in Rome's Campus Martius area. The means of arrival happened to be by boat. Normally, disembarking would occur roughly three-quarters of a kilometer south of the Theatre of Balbus. On that day, however, the Tiber had flooded quite significantly, sending its overflow deep into the former and occasionally recurring floodplain of the Fields of Mars.

Design Insights XLVII

 

The Temple of Bonus Eventus, as the name implies, is typically a bit of a 'bonus feature' when it comes to reconstructions of the ancient city of Rome. Dedicated to the agricultural god of "Good Outcomes," the temple and surrounding portico likely replaced the Stagnum Agrippæ, a large open-air reservoir in the center of the Campus Martius. Evidence of this later temple's location is relatively scant, but its existence is attested to in several fourth century sources. What's more is that Bonus Eventus was typically paired with Lympha, a goddess who influenced water supply. In this choose-your-own-adventure timeline, I sided with the theory that the obsolete reservoir might have been replaced by a temple with whose deity the former site's had typically been paired.

 

Similarly, remains of the Odeum of Domitian have never been excavated. Unlike the Roman theatres where stage dramas were acted out, odea were reserved for more niche performances such as singing recitals, poetry recitation and musical performances. They were notably smaller than theatres as well, and often further distinguished by the presence of permanent roofing, rather than fabric velaria. It's anyone's guess whether the Odeum of Domitian boasted such structural features, but absence of evidence must never be mistaken for evidence of absence.

 

This general rule of thumb encapsulates the well-founded, yet cautiously skeptical spirit with which we will explore the Temple of Bonus Eventus and the Odeum of Domitian.

Simply Making Christmas... easier said than done. This year I'm branching out from painting to a faux #gingerbread #putzhouse thanks to @lucyf7b There are big #learningcurves but its fun.

  

This indulgent project was therapeutic. My first cardboard #putzhouse sculpture made with a house pattern and tree tutorial by @lucyf7b and adapted with many embellishments of my own.

 

A good friend asked, "Will it be for sale?" The answer is NO for many reasons. Artists constantly undervalue their work. This piece took me many days to create for a #zoom #Christmas #familycelebration

 

There are many delightful artists and designers out there. I reccomend finding an artist whose story compels you to invest in them. @jillrenaedesigns takes 30-40 hours to hand make all of her houses. That's $3.95/hr for her highest price house on etsy. What do you deserve to be paid per hour?

Design Insights XLVI

 

Throughout the process of reconstructing Rome of the fourth century, it has often been the case that after months of research, I find myself left with more questions than answers. Some reconstructions are purely speculative, based on textual descriptions not yet backed up by the archaeological evidence of a physical site. Others, like the Baths of Agrippa, are known to us through both physical remains and written sources, yet remain frustratingly enigmatic from a lack of consensus among these sources. The former, oddly, provide more freedom of design, while reconstructions based on the latter are prickly at best.

 

The Baths of Agrippa were the very first public thermæ built in Rome. The baths were part of a broad public works site undertaken by Marcus Agrippa during the late first century BCE. Connected to the Pantheon and sited firmly within the Campus Martius, the Thermæ Agrippæ were reconstructed on several occasions, either due to destructions by fire or by gradual deterioration over the centuries. Its novelty as the first public bathing complex is entwined with its elusive building plan, resulting in a number of conflicting reconstructions painting a thorny picture of the overall scheme.

 

My best attempts at bushwhacking through the many narratives enshrouding the Baths of Agrippa have resulted in the reconstruction I present to you today. With these many qualifiers and disclaimers in mind, we can now proceed to attempt to uncover the Thermæ Agrippæ.

Design Insights XLVIII

 

Telltale signs of a bygone era are positively replete across the city of Rome; that is, if you know where to look! For many visitors, Piazza Navona is among the first stops of any respectable itinerary. It was there, at Bernini Ristorante, where I had the first meal of my inaugural trip to the Eternal City in 2019. Admittedly, it's a bit of a tourist trap, but one that felt right given its namesake's (Gian Lorenzo Bernini's) influence over the urban design of the modern city.

 

More than anyone else since the emperors of antiquity, Bernini left his mark on the city with an unassailable volume of architectural, sculptural and urban development projects, including the design of the Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi at the center of Piazza Navona. Much of the canvas on which Bernini and his contemporaries built, however, was put down by the emperors of Rome. One such emperor, Domitian, was himself responsible for the shape of Piazza Navona. Domitian built a Stadium on the site in the late first century CE, alongside countless other projects to restore the grandeur of the Campus Martius in the aftermath of the fire of 80 CE.

 

To this day, the cobblestone pavement of Piazza Navona echoes the gravel terrain on which athletes competed in quadrennial games, in the Greek tradition. The buildings which encircle the piazza were built atop the cavea of this ancient stadium. These partially excavated foundations are accessible today, and are included in these insights. Let's now explore this ancient landmark hidden - if just below the surface - in plain sight.
