Dear Colleagues,
We would like to share with you a website on the Ara Pacis Augustae that
Reed College has been working on for the last two years. This was a
collaborative project between Charles Rhyne, Professor Emeritus, Art
History, Web Support Services, and the Visual Resources Center.
http://cdm.reed.edu/ara-pacis/
Charles wrote: 'The main purpose of this web site is to make available a
more comprehensive body of images of the Ara Pacis than previously
available in any print or web publication. The Ara Pacis Augustae is a
complex masterpiece, with elaborate reliefs including more than a
hundred figures and voluminous vegetation filled with the details of
nature. It is also a much damaged and reconstructed monument, making it
important to distinguish original from later portions and more recent
changes. This web site attempts to provide in-depth visual documentation
in support of the in-depth scholarly publications that have so enriched
our understanding of Augustan art and society.'
We hope it will be useful for research and teaching.
Best regards,
Karin
