About the Book

English summary: "Dwellings of the dead" is nearly a synonym for burial chambers of the imperial period that does not arise from poetical imagination alone, but seems to be corroborated by archeological findings. In the present study it is for the first time that all the preserved or otherwise documented interior decoration of the sepulchral chambers in the urban area of Rome is coherently presented, analysed, and illustated by numerous photographs quite often not published before. Although the focus is on the decorative elements that were fixed inside the sepulchral cambers (paintings, mosaics, stucco-works), the overall-perspective is essentially context-related: funeral decoration is examined exclusively in its original, formative and conditioning connections. Of particular importance are the architectonic aspect and epigraphic evidence, not only when it comes to examining the single tombs, but also in trying to find a solution to the following paramout questions: What did interior decoration in tombs of the imperial period look like? Who commissioned it? How did the fixed funeral decoration develop in comparison to mobile funeral decoration develop in comparison to mobile funeral ornaments? How 'sepulchrally' were the tombs decorated? German description: "Wohnungen der Toten" - nahezu ein Synonym fur kaiserzeitliche Grabraume, das keineswegs nur dichterischer Phantasie entspringt, sondern im archaologischen Befund eine Bestatigung zu finden scheint. Erstmals wird im vorliegenden Band der Bestand an erhaltener oder dokumentierter Innendekoration der stadtromischen Grabkammern in zusammenhangender Form vorgelegt, analysiert und durch zahlreiche, vielfach hier zum ersten Mal publizierte photographische Aufnahmen illustriert. Wiewohl der Schwerpunkt auf den fest angebrachten Dekorationselementen - Malereien, Mosaike, Stucke - der Grabraume liegt, lebt die Untersuchung massgeblich von der kontextbezogenen Betrachtungsweise. Die Grabdekoration wird ausschliesslich in ihrem ursprunglichen, sie pragenden und bedingenden Zusammenhang beleuchtet. Von Bedeutung sind vor allem architektonische Aspekte und epigraphische Evidenzen - sowohl bei der Betrachtung des einzelnen Grabes als auch beim Versuch einer Beantwortung ubergeordneter Fragestellungen: Wie sah die Innendekoration der kaiserzeitlichen Graber aus? Wer waren ihre Auftraggeber? Wie entwickelte sich die fest angebrachte Grabdekoration im Vergleich zum mobilen Grabschmuck? Wie 'sepulkral' war die dekorative Ausstattung der Graber?
