This volume focuses on four cultural phenomena in the Roman world
of the late Republic - the garden, a garden painting, tapestry, and
the domestic caged bird. They accept or reject a categorisation as
art in varying degrees, but they show considerable overlaps in the
ways in which they impinge on social space. The study looks,
therefore, at the borderlines between things that variously might
or might not seem to be art forms. It looks at boundaries in
another sense too. Boundaries between different social modes and
contexts are embodied and represented in the garden and paintings
of gardens, reinforced by the domestic use of decorative textile
work, and replicated in the bird cage. The boundaries thus
thematised map on to broader boundaries in the Roman house, city,
and wider world, becoming part of the framework of the citizen's
cognitive development and individual and civic identities.
Frederick Jones presents a novel analysis that uses the perspective
of cognitive development in relation to how elements of domestic
and urban visual culture and the broader world map on to each
other. His study for the first time understands the domestic caged
bird as a cultural object and uniquely brings together four
disparate cases under the umbrella of 'art'.
