THE MONUMENTALITY OF GLADIATORIAL GRAFFITI IN THE FLAVIAN AMPHITHEATRE: A CONTEXTUAL APPROACH
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 June 2024
Abstract
The present article offers a new interpretation of the gladiatorial graffiti preserved within the Flavian Amphitheatre from a contextual perspective. Although recent scholarship has set a solid foundation for investigating the role and nature of gladiatorial graffiti, a contextual examination of this epigraphic category represents a major desideratum. The article investigates graffiti within the epigraphic environment of the Flavian Amphitheatre. It examines the juxtaposition of graffiti and official inscriptions, their interaction with spatial and material surroundings and their distinctiveness as visual and material media with which to perpetuate the fleeting arena performances. By combining close reading with a new visual representation of gladiatorial graffiti – created digitally upon autoptic study – the article provides the reader with the first systematic analysis of this exceptional epigraphic record. Challenging critical notions of impermanence and instability, the article explores strategies of memorialization and techniques of temporality performed by graffiti, inviting reflection on the negotiation of and paradoxical takes on the contradictory concept of monumentality in the arena.
Il presente contributo propone una nuova lettura dei graffiti gladiatorii conservati presso l'anfiteatro Flavio, prestando attenzione al contesto di rinvenimento. Studi recenti hanno posto in evidenza il ruolo e la natura dei graffiti gladiatorii. Tuttavia, l'analisi di questa categoria epigrafica nel suo contesto di appartenenza rappresenta ancora un desideratum. Il presente articolo si propone pertanto di esaminare il rapporto fra i graffiti e le iscrizioni ufficiali dell'anfiteatro, nonché l'interazione fra i graffiti e il contesto spaziale e materiale in cui sono stati rinvenuti, suggerendo l'unicità di questa fonte epigrafica commemorazione eterna delle performances dell'arena. Il contributo integra l'esame autoptico in situ e una nuova rappresentazione digitale dei graffiti, offrendo il primo studio sistematico di questo unicum epigrafico. Mettendo in discussione le nozioni di instabilità e estemporaneità tradizionalmente associate ai graffiti, l'articolo esamina le strategie di commemorazione e la negoziazione del tempo performate dai graffiti, sollecitando nuove riflessioni sul rapporto, i paradossi e le contraddizioni implicite nella relazione fra graffiti e il tropo della monumentalità.
