eugertism
-
Fidenae
in 27AD, a freedman named Atilius constructed a wooden amphitheatre without a proper foundation
-
then the amphitheatre collapsed in 27AD, killing 50,000 people according to Tacitus
'for he had neither an abundance of wealth, nor zeal for public popularity, but he had simply sought the work for sordid gain'.
so he was not doing this to flaunt wealth, or to gain popularity amongst his townspeople, but to make a profit
Pompeii
Holconii
-
He was descended from an old family that produced excellent wine and even had a type of grape named after them, elite
-
by the time he commissioned a theater in Pompeii, in 3/2 B.C, he had already served as duumvir 4 times, and as quinquennalis once
he had also been awarded the honorary title of tribunus militum a populo by the emperor, and received the title of “patron of the colony” (patronus coloniae), the highest honour that the town of Pompeii could bestow.
building projects:
-
'Marcus Holconius Rufus and Marcus Holconius Celer built at their own expense the crypt, boxes and theatre seating'
this inscription was placed above both side entrances (parodoi) and probably on the façade of the stage-building as well, where audiences would have in view a constant reminder of the generosity of the Holconii
-
Marcus statue:
-
-
-
-
his euergetism was done out of desire for patronage, and to be closer to rome?
Eumachia
there is a building in the forum dedicated to Concordia and Pietas, which was dedicated by a prominent priestess, Eumachia, in the name of herself and her son, M. Numistrius Fronto
on east side of forum, visible
-
within, there were several statues: an idealising one of Eumachia herself, and one of Romulus, one of Aeneas
very similar to the statues of summi viri in augustan forum, attempting to link Pompeii to Rome
-
-
imitation of Livia's similar portico, which was also dedicated with her son
Caius Calventius Quietus
-
-
-
-
also honoured with a bisellium, a double wide seat
-
Ostia
Poplicola
Poplicola’s epitaph stressed that this very telling cognomen had been conferred on him by all the people of Ostia (ab universieis)
-
-
associated with a large restoration of the Temple to Hercules, in the centre of the town
clearly contributed lots to the city, hence the tomb
tomb
-
-
sculpted frieze depicts military events connected with Poplicola, perhaps at a time of danger for the city
-
Grumentum, Italy
here inscriptions show that the older city-wall was gradually replaced by letting each new, annually elected magistrate build a new section
-

Aphrodisias
Zoilos
sold as a slave into the household of Julius Caesar, but is later manumitted and described as Octavian's freedman
When he returned to his home town of Aphrodisias, he acted as Octavian's personal agent in the area
Building projects:
He also occupied senior priesthoods and prestigious offices, and received public statues from a grateful council and people
In the dedication of the new temple, he is styled as 'The saviour and benefactor of his homeland'
He was a priest of Aphrodite and paid for at least three major marble buildings: the first phase of the temple of Aphrodite, the elaborate stage building of the theatre, and the north colonnade of the North Agora in the city centre.
evidence of freedmen contributing to eugertism, in exchange for dignitas and rewards (such as the tomb)
Tomb
some panels of the frieze on Zoilos' tomb survive, we should imagine them around a square columnar mausoleum
-
-
includes figures like Andreia (bravery) and Time (honour), representing Zoilos' military victories. Also Demos and Polis, representing his civic contributions
Zoilos is depicted in a Roman toga - he is proud of his acquisition of citizenship upon being manumitted

Cumae
the Lucceii family
after 20BC, water supply to the town was increased by the extension of an aqueduct, the Aqua Augusta
