La Casa del "Oscillum" en "Astigi": algunos aspectos de su programa decorativo

Abstract

Como complemento de los aspectos morfológicos y constructivos de esta casa astigitana, publicada en otro foro, se presentan a continuación dos piezas asociadas al programa decorativo del patio porticado de la Fase I de la vivienda, el “oscillum” que da nombre a la “domus”, y una herma-retrato dedicada a Flaco por un “dispensator” de nombre “Turannus”.

Following the paper “La casa del oscillum en Astigi. Aspectos edilicios”, which has already been presented in a different publication, this article is based on the study of two artefacts both of which belong to the decorative program of the peristyle of Phase I of this Roman house. The first is an "oscillum" which the "domus" is named after, while the second is an hermaic inscription devoted to "Flaccus" by his dispensator, "Turannus".
