Abstract

Paintings and sculptures depicting gazelles ( Gazella spp.) are frequent in Ancient Roman art. Images of gazelles have been discovered during the archaeological explorations of Herculaneum and Pompeii, devastated by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in ad 79. Two bronze statues of ungulates from the Villa of the Papyri, Herculaneum, now on display at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli (National Archaeological Museum of Naples), have not been correctly identified, consequently causing erroneous speculation about their cultural significance. The aim of this paper is to suggest which gazelle species inspired these artefacts, and to also discuss the wider context of the artistic representations of gazelles from Herculaneum and Pompeii and their surroundings.

在赫库兰尼姆和庞贝的壁画和雕塑中描绘的瞪羚
描绘瞪羚(Gazella spp.)的绘画和雕塑在古罗马艺术中很常见。瞪羚的图像是在赫库兰尼姆和庞贝的考古探索中发现的,这两个地方在公元79年被维苏威火山爆发摧毁。赫库兰尼姆Papyri别墅的两尊有蹄类青铜雕像目前在那不勒斯国家考古博物馆展出,但没有被正确识别,因此引发了对其文化意义的错误猜测。本文的目的是提出这些文物的灵感来源于哪种瞪羚,并讨论赫库兰尼姆和庞贝及其周围地区瞪羚艺术表现的更广泛背景。
