This has the consequence that, on average, the Samaritan month starts a day before the Jewish month; and there is some evidence that the same calendar was operative also at Qumran, among the Zealots, and, significantly, in Galilee (although, to be honest, the evidence for that is not especially decisive). Finally, all the evidence is brought together in chapter 11, with the 'hidden clue' in Mark 14:12, which only makes sense, Humphreys argues, if Mark is thinking of a sunrise-to-sunrise day; for on the sunset-to-sunset calendar, the moment when 'they were sacrificing the Passover' cannot be also the 'the first day of Unleavened Bread'. In other words, he argues, Mark is at this point thinking in terms of the pre-Exilic calendar used by the Samaritans, the Zealots, and some Essenes. Secondly, he argues, there is another 'hidden clue' in the shape of the man carrying a water-jar, who must be an Essene; and the Last Supper, so the argument runs, must take place in the Essene Quarter. Thirdly, the fourth gospel speaks of the 'Jewish Passover', hinting at two different timings for the festival, of which Jesus' version would start at sunrise on Wednesday April 1 st in AD 33, and it was on the Wednesday evening, accordingly, that Jesus celebrated the Last Supper. On the basis of this, in the final chapter, Humphreys reconstructs, it has to be said, a detailed and fairly plausible timetable (including a handy reference to the Roman gallicinium!). Moreover, the language of Matthew 27:1-2 and Mark 15:1 suggests that there were (as there should have been, according to Mishnaic law), two trials starting at daybreak , after which the trial before Pilate would have been necessary because the Sanhedrin lacked capital authority. There is a remarkable simplicity (always a good sign) about this solution to the problem, which seems to cope with all the known difficulties. Will it command general assent among scholars? Probably not, for NT readers are as reluctant as the rest of us to have our cherished beliefs upset; but there is a case to answer here.

Research paper thumbnail of Rome, Pollution and Propriety: Dirt, Disease and Hygiene in the Eternal City from Antiquity to Modernity

British School at Rome Studies, 2012

This volume examines the significance of pollution and cleanliness in the art, literature, philos... more This volume examines the significance of pollution and cleanliness in the art, literature, philosophy, and material culture of the city of Rome from antiquity through to the twentieth century. Dirt, disease and pollution and the ways they are represented and policed have long been recognised by historians and anthropologists to occupy a central position in the formulation of cultural identity, and Rome holds a special status in the West as a city intimately associated with issues of purity, decay, ruin and renewal. In recent years, scholarship in a variety of disciplines has begun to scrutinise the less palatable features of the archaeology, history and society of Rome. This research has drawn attention to the city’s distinctive historical interest in the recognition, isolation and treatment of pollution, and the ways in which politicians, architects, writers and artists have exploited this as a vehicle for devising visions of purity and propriety. And yet, in spite of the volume of research into isolated instances of filth and cleanliness at Rome, there has been no comprehensive study of the history of pollution within the city. The challenge that remains, then, is to develop a more sophisticated analysis of developments over time in one geographical location, and to situate approaches to pollution in the city of Rome more broadly within cultural anthropology and the history of ideas.

The volume focuses on the theme of ‘Pollution and Propriety’ and the discourses by which these two antagonistic concepts are related. How has pollution in Rome been defined, and by what means is it controlled? To what extent is dirt culturally constructed (a position championed by Mary Douglas, but currently under challenge)? If dirt is dis-order/ ‘matter out of place’, how useful is it as an index of order or social and cultural system? How does Rome’s own social and cultural history affect the way states of dirt and cleanliness are formulated? Does purity always accompany political, physical or social change? How different are pagan and Christian approaches to pollution and propriety at Rome, and do these approaches change over time from ancient to medieval to modern? Does Rome’s reputation as a ‘city of ruins’ determine how it is represented? What makes images of decay in Rome so picturesque? What do approaches to dirt at Rome tell us about contemporary value systems?

Pollution and Propriety brings together scholars from a range of disciplines in order to examine the historical continuity of dirt, disease and hygiene in one environment, and to explore the development and transformation of these ideas alongside major chapters in the city’s history, such as early Roman urban development, the Roman Empire, early Christianity, decline and fall, the medieval city, the Renaissance, the Unification of Italy, and the advent of Fascism. This volume sets out to identify the defining characteristics, functions and discourses of pollution in Rome in such realms as disease and medicine, death and burial, sexuality and virginity, prostitution, purity and absolution, personal hygiene and morality, criminality, bodies and cleansing, waste disposal, decay, ruins and urban renovation. It also studies the means by which that pollution was policed and controlled. By combining literary and visual material on pollution, this volume integrates areas of academic enquiry that are normally separated in scholarly research in order to identify underlying cultural patterns. Its common theme is the enduring concern for purity in its various forms, as well as the concern for the environment that is evident throughout the history of the city.

This volume will be of interest to students and scholars working in archaeology, anthropology, art history, classics, cultural history and the history of medicine, as well as anyone interested in the history, society and culture of Rome. It provides a compelling context for examining general theoretical approaches to pollution and purity, which have experienced a resurgence of interest in academic and popular circles in recent years in the form of projects, publications and exhibitions. In doing so, the volume evaluates the applicability of these models to Rome, as well as using Rome as a test study for evaluating the models themselves.
