Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Geschichte - Weltgeschichte - Frühgeschichte, Antike, Philipps-Universität Marburg, Sprache: Deutsch, summary: Die Betrachtung der Lebensverhältnisse von Menschen in der Geschichte stellt eine der interessantesten und zugleich schwierigsten Bereiche der modernen historischen Forschung dar. Die literarischen Quellen, die für die Antike überliefert sind, stammen größtenteils aus den Kreisen finanziell besser gestellter Personen. Die Frage, wie der Alltag des Großteils der doch eher bescheiden lebenden Menschen ausgesehen hat, verlangt daher nach einer anderen Betrachtungsweise.

Diese Arbeit zeichnet die Lebenswelt der ärmeren Bevölkerung des Römischen Reiches nach. Dabei erfolgt zunächst eine historische Verortung des Begriffes „Lebensstandard“, dann wird auf die Bedeutung der Lohnarbeit in der römischen Antike eingegangen, auf die dann eine Darstellung möglicher methodischer Zugänge zu dem Komplex des "historischen Lebensstandards" folgt.

Den Kern und Abschluss der Arbeit stellt jedoch ein fiktives, aber auf einzelnen historischen Quellen basierendes "Was wäre wenn"-Szenario dar, das auf praktische Weise untersucht, wie der Lebensstandard eines einfachen Arbeiters in Pompeji in der Kaiserzeit ausgesehen haben und wie er sich infolge äußerer Einflüsse verändert haben könnte. So werden historische Spielräume und Handlungsmöglichkeiten der ärmeren Bevölkerung sichtbar. Lohn- und Preisangaben verschiedener Quellen finden bei diesen Erwägungen selbstverständlich Berücksichtigung.

Un récit incluant les dernières découvertes sur les Etrusques. Une nouveauté dans ce domaine peu connu de l'Antiquité.

Apparus au VIIIe siècle avant Jésus-Christ, les Etrusques dominent presque toute l'Italie avant de se fondre dans le moule imposé par Rome. Lorsque, à los angeles Renaissance, on découvre leurs tombes en Toscane, ces demeures funéraires parfaitement conservées offrent le spectacle d'une vie raffinée. Scènes de banquets, events de chasse ou de pêche, danses, jeux ornent les murs à fresques et racontent un peuple jusqu'alors ignoré.
Les Etrusques n'ont pas fini d'intriguer. Qui sont-ils ? D'où viennent-ils ? Les hypothèses les plus variées courent sur leur origine mystérieuse. Leurs écrits ont disparu. On ne sait d'eux que ce que les Grecs ou les Romains nous en disent. Ce peuple singulier fut pourtant, à son apogée, puissant et craint par ses voisins.
Jean-Marc Irollo ressuscite cette civilisation en lui redonnant sa juste position dans l. a. formation de notre tradition occidentale et dans les arts.

D'origine toscane, Jean-Marc Irollo est historien de l'art et parcourt, depuis plus de vingt ans, l'Etrurie des Anciens sur les strains de civilisations etrusque et romaine. Il travaille au musée du Louvre.
