Between Global and Local: Geometric Patterns of Gallic Roman Mosaics (original) (raw)

Abstract

directly or not, you all have helped me in this project. Thanks to Dr. Effie Athanassopoulos for assisting with funding applications. I would also like to thank the entire faculty and staff of the School of Art, Art History, and Design, you have all made my time at UNL a wonderful experience. Additionally, a special thank you to all my fellow graduate students at UNL during my time here for their understanding, encouragement, and friendship. I wish to thank all my family and friends who continue to support me through all my higher education. To the Loyola Girls for their friendship and reminders that there is more to life than this thesis. Thanks also to the UCL crew who seem to have accepted that one MA was not enough for me. Gratitude to Dr. Robert Babcock for his support, friendship, and mentoring during my time in Nebraska. I am profoundly grateful to Dr. Lorraine Edwards for everything she has done for me, the list exceeds the allotted space, but especially for her kindness, patience, and reassurance through everything and anything. The warmest of thanks to Richard Loutzenheiser for his friendship, again, an endless list, and for reminding me that I am braver than I believe, stronger than I seem, v and smarter than I think. Thank you to Dr. Chris Siwicki, whose patience and humor have been much appreciated during this project. To my brother, Sam, for always being there for me. Lastly, a huge thank you to my parents, for their constant and never-ending love and support. vi Grant Information This research would not have been possible without the generous funding made available from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Initial support from the Anthropology Department Weakly Fund in the summer of 2016 to France encouraged me to pursue this project and to expand it further. A Scholarly grant from the Hixson-Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts allowed me to travel to the south of France and western Germany to see the mosaics in person. Additionally, the School of Art, Art History, and Design Trabold fund contributed to my field work and research in 2016 and 2017. A Presentation of Scholarly Activity Grant from the Hixson-Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts facilitated the presentation of my thesis research at the 2018 Annual Meeting of Postgraduates in Ancient History in London. Lastly, I would like to thank the Associate Dean of the Hixson-Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts, Dr. Christopher Marks, for his advice and his administration of the Graduate Advisory Board.

Location: Hotel de Sade, St.-Rémy-de-Provence Description: Square section of a pavement with a circular center with a lozenge pattern. In the four corners there are four fish. Rolland (1960, 88) describes this as a net in which the fish were or are about to be caught. Patterns: Pseudo-shield of lozenges, in a circle, with eight equal sections defined by four diameters, the adjacent sections as lozenges without articulated diameters. Colors: Black, yellow, and white. Similar: Cathaège, Spain (Balmelle 2002b p.153c). Bibliography: Rolland 1960 88-89; de Brun 1942 30-31; Rolland 1949 Pl. XX fig. 1; Balmelle 2002b p.153c.

Rape of Europa, daughter of the King of Tyre, riding on the back of Zeus in the form of a bull.
