Purchase options and add-ons

This book is the first comprehensive study of the mausolea of the later Roman emperors. Constructed between ca. AD 244 and 450 and bridging the transition from paganism to Christianity within the empire, these important buildings shared a common design, that of domed rotunda. Mark Johnson examines the symbolism and function of the mausolea, demonstrating for the first time that these monuments served as temples and shrines to the divinized emperors. Through an examination of literary sources and the archaeological record, he identifies which buildings were built as imperial tombs. Each building is examined to determine its place in the development of the type as well as for its unique features within the group. Recognizing the strong relationship between the mausolea built for pagan and Christian emperors, Johnson also analyzes their important differences.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic example of deductive reasoning
Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2014

This book does an excellent job of explaining the history and evolution of the forms of Roman Mausoleums.
What is especially interesting is his process of deductive reasoning as he weighs the historical sources and theories about what was and why.

5.0 out of 5 stars strewn with garbage and pornography and other unmentionables
Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2017
In 1994 I stumbled upon the mausoleum of Gallienus in a dilapidated state, strewn with garbage and pornography and other unmentionables. I was stunned that a ruin could be left in such a state; but then, as a Canadian, any structure beyond 200 years old is a miracle to me. I did not know whose mausoleum it was at the time, and it took this book to enlighten me. This book is an excellent resource on a subject area that is otherwise poorly covered. The author tells a story of the pagan origins of tumuli to the Christian mausolea attached to early churches. I highly recommend this to all amateurs of Roman archeology and to professionals as well.
