Palatin / Sorrent / Basis

Abstract in Englisch

The relief base of Sorrento is of considerable value for deeper insights into the socio-political changes of the Augustinian period. The depictions on the Sorrento Base shows are connected with the new formed cults on the Palatine Hill during this time period. In my thesis I summarize the current state of research, emphasizing details of stylistic analysis and examining the dating of the Sorrento Base in the light of its iconography. The longitudinal side of the relief base (A) shows a scene belonging to the cult of Vesta on the Palatine Hill: Vesta is sitting on a throne facing five Vestal virgins, who pace toward the goddess. 65 Two female figures stand beside the goddess. The background of the scene shows the temple of Vesta with the palladium inside, the Vestal virgins are pacing in front of a portico. The scene has been successfully located on the Palatine Hill, where Augustus dedicated a space in his own house to the goddess. Relief (C) shows Mars Ultor with Amor and the legs of a male figure, who holds the Cornucopia. The house in the background has been identified as the house of Augustus on the Palatine Hill. A winged figure is floating above the open door and holds the Corona Civica. Relief (B) shows the three Greek classical statues of Apollo, Artemis and Leto that were brought to Rome by Augustus and put into the cella of the Temple of Apollo Palatinus. The female figurine in front of the group was identified as Sibyl; a fact that implies the location of the scene in the cella of the temple. Augustus had brought the libri Sibyllinis as well into the cella of Temple of Apollo Palatinus, where they were kept inside the base of the statue of the god. The longitudinal side of the relief base (D) shows Kybele /Magna Mater sitting on a throne with a lion beside her, a Corybante dancing behind the goddess and a Peplophoros standing beside the two figures. This scene can also be located on the Palatine Hill as well. The Peplophoros also appears on the longitudinal sides (A), and (D), being isolated from the group; it was recently identified as Livia. All four reliefs of the Sorrento Base give a specific account of the political and religious changes under Augustus that resulted in a new Roman self-conception. This self-conception consequently altered the contemporaneous iconography that blended classical Greek forms with elements of Roman art. This adaption of art, nevertheless, served as a concept for legitimizing Augustus’ takeover and his program of ancestral legitimization.
