Thesis title: Antonio e Roma: archeologia, politica e storia urbana
This doctoral research aims to trace the components of the urban landscape of ancient Rome that can be traced back to the figure of Mark Antony, analysing from an archaeological perspective what has so far been mainly investigated from a historical approach. In order to explore the urban implications of the Triumvir's political activity, the work also considers other figures—the Antonii family and the Antonii entourage—as vectors of his ideological-propagandistic message. The joint analysis of literary, epigraphic, numismatic and iconographic sources referring to Antony, the Antonii and the Antoniani has made it possible, in several cases, to isolate topographical references that can be traced to specific places, in which the material evidence can also be reinterpreted. The ultimate aim of the work is to identify, reconstruct and interpret places and monuments that bear witness to Antonine politics, attempting a historical and social reading of the years that marked the end of the Republic.
