“…The statues are discussed in terms of their provenance, whether they are genuinely Egyptian or Roman ‘copies’ (as shown in Figure 3), which is far removed from how they formed part of a spiritual context. Moreover, it is often argued that the Romans usually did not or could not worship ‘animals’ (Smelik & Hemelrijk, 1984: 1852–2000; Brenk, 2018: 113–27), which led to these particular objects being frequently interpreted as decorative pieces, to create a luxurious and exotic atmosphere or occasionally even an ‘exotic cultural theme park’ (Bommas, 2012: 177–212). Brenk (2018: 125) argues that animal worship in Egypt was a very complicated phenomenon directed not at the animal, but at the god.…”

In this article I explore different ways archaeologists can contribute to and learn from theorizing the digital world beyond the traditional functionalistic means of applying computational methods. I argue that current digital technologies can be a very constructive tool to create non-human experience and awareness. I pursue this argument by presenting ideas from a work-in-progress project experimenting with the post-human and the virtual, and by exploring significant otherness in Roman religion and the dark spots in human perception, through the analysis of an absent temple in Rome. Applying post-human philosophies and an expanded concept of virtuality beyond the digital makes it possible to change our approach to object/human/divine relations in Roman cults and how we present Roman heritage towards a post-humanist framework. Through this, digital archaeology can become one of the ways of re-examining and reinventing our ideas of the human, the past and the digital.

Egypt in Roman Visual and Material Culture

This review article addresses current controversies and opportunities in research on the roles, uses, and meanings of “Egypt” in ancient Roman visual and material culture. Accordingly, the article investigates problems of definition and interpretation; provides a critical review of current scholarly approaches; and analyzes the field’s intersections with current intellectual developments in the broader fields of archaeology and art history. It is argued that research on Roman Aegyptiaca can gain much from, and is poised to contribute substantially to, (1) 21st-century archaeology’s “material turn”; (2) the construction of new interpretive frameworks for cross-cultural interactions and “hybridization”; and (3) increased attention to the relationships among artifacts, contexts, and assemblages. Roman visual representations of Egypt provide a rich testing ground for research on intercultural exchange, the lived experience of empire, and the complex entanglement of people, things, and images.
