This paper aims, on the one hand, to evaluate the relationship between the adoption of the model and her traditional antiquarian identification as Agrippina, Major or Minor; on the other hand, in the perspective of the archaeologist, the aim of this paper is to analyse the phenomenon in the light of the contemporary development of Ancient Art History studies.

monumental relief bearing a waterfront landscape with views of a city, a countryside and two
floating boats was recovered. Around the same time, during the archaeological excavations at the
harbours of Claudius and Trajan in Portus (Rome, Italy), a small relief depicting a boat approaching a
harbour was brought to light. The scene combines symbols with many realistic details to represent
the boat and harbour. Subject of studies for nearly two centuries, the relief has been approached
almost exclusively from an art historical perspective. The original context for both reliefs remains
subject of speculation. The analysis of the two depictions—possibly contemporaneous (from the
end of the second to the beginning of the third century AD) but different in dimensions, artistic
treating of the scenes and probably also patronage—affords an opportunity to clarify the symbolic
meaning of the depicted elements and propose new interpretations.
This chapter explores the symbols represented in the two scenes from a naval-archaeological
approach. The naval details, together with the symbolic elements and a brief review of the original
excavation documentation, assist the authors in presenting a new interpretation of the two reliefs, one
which may link them to their original historical, social, and political meaning and significance, while
at the same time, reinterpreting their iconography in the most correct and plausible way possible.
Una nota sul monumento di Marcus Virtius Ceraunus dal territorio dell’antica Stabiae, in C. Rescigno (a cura di), Stabiae. Ricerche, progetti, prospettive, a cura di C. Rescigno, G. Zuchtriegel, Quaderni di Acma, 1, 2022, Napoli, Fedoa Press 2023, pp. 193-213., 2023

Del monumento oggi restano solo tre lastre decorate a rilievo recanti l’iscrizione di dedica. Vengono esaminate le vicende relative alla scoperta, il dibattito sulla cronologia, le caratteristiche stilistiche e tecniche delle lastre con lo scopo di presentare in maniera critica questa importante testimonianza dell’antica Stabia. Si propongono, in!ne, alcune ipotesi sulla tipologia di appartenenza del monumento e una riflessione sulle affinità con i grandi monumenti funerari degli ultimi decenni di Pompei, nel sistema delle immagini, nelle scelte architettoniche e decorative, nonché nell’estrazione sociale dei committenti.

The archival sources will be compared with the antiquarian evidence in order to define the effects of the Bourbon protec- tion legislation and to analyse the contemporary antiquities trade, underlining the connections between the Capital and the Kingdom Periphery.

By reexamining the antiquarian tradition, the author clears up some misunderstandings concerning the discovery of this vase and its original function. Her study of the frieze with the horserace sheds light on the cultural background of the artist and highlights several similarities with the artistic production of the East-Mediterranean area (Xanthos). The Pergamon vase is a rare specimen of those columnar monuments that constituted a landmark in the funerary and sacred landscape of the city in the Late Classical and Hellenistic periods.
