Spätantike Statuenbasen aus kaiserzeitlichen Grabdenkmälern
Antike Wiederverwendung zwischen Recycling und Upcycling
The aim of this study was to re-examine the bases of Late Antique statues in Italy in order to identify all those which were not simply reused, but which had initially been used as funerary monuments. This identification is possible when the same stone not only bears a Late Antique statue inscription, but also an earlier funerary inscription. By analysing Late Antique statue bases for the first time according to archaeological criteria, the author was able to find many more examples of the reuse of such funerary monuments. Considerations based on different perspectives, such as different practices of ancient reuse, enable a comprehensive assessment of this phenomenon, which is described here for the first time.
