Etruscan rock-cut tombs and 3D modeling
Votroubeková, Tatiana ; Musil, Jiří (advisor) ; Kysela, Jan (referee)
This thesis examines Etruscan rock-cut tombs that are characteristic for inland southern Etruria and are dated from second quarter of the 6th century BC to the end of 3rd and beginning of the 2nd century BC. Thesis is focused on the architecture of the tombs, their typology, decoration, iconography and their architectural evolution. Main sites in Archaic period are necropoleis in San Giuliano, Blera, Tuscania and for Hellenistic period necropoleis in Norchia, Sovana and Castel d'Asso. Second part of thesis examines the potential of 3D recording, analysis, virtual reconstruction and virtual anastylosis for the study of the tomb façades through the case studies of the "Tomb of the Siren" from necropolis of Sovana and the "Doric Tombs" from necropolis of Norchia. Keywords Etruscans, Etruscan, rock-cut, rupestral, façade, necropolis, 3D modeling, multi-image photogrammetry, virtual reconstruction, virtual anastylosis

Wind musical instruments of ancient Greece and Rome
Waňousová, Lucie ; Ondřejová, Iva (advisor) ; Stančo, Ladislav (referee)
This thesis deals with ancient wind musical instruments. It focuses especially on three kinds of them - aulos, syrinx and military musical instruments, where salpinx, lituus and bucina belongs to. Each chapter of this thesis is dedicated to one of these wind instruments and discusses its origin and evolution. It also describes its using in ancient society - during sacral ceremonies, cultural events and in military or private life - this description is based on Greek, Roman end Etruscan iconography and also cites some of the references from ancient authors. Some of these instruments have developed during the ancient times into different shapes - these versions are described in this thesis on the background of iconography and bibliography. In the end of every single chapter there is a selection of the most important preserved samples of the musical instruments or their fragments. These samples, although they often are in poor condition, are clear evidence about the nature of ancient music. Keywords: ancient music, wind instruments, Greece, Rome, Etruscans, aulos, tibia, syrinx, salpinx, tuba, cornu, bucina

The Concept of the Orientalising Period in the Italian Archaeology
Lorenzová, Alžběta ; Kysela, Jan (advisor) ; Pavúk, Peter (referee)
This thesis focuses mainly on the subject of the so-called process of orientalisation, how this process shows on selected pre-Roman archaeological sites, and how it is presented in Italian archaeology. Analysis of funeral contexts is used as a base for chronological timeline, the nature of the orientalising process as well as the degree of its uniformity. With the help of the collected data will be proposed a hypothesis regarding the character of social changes and whether it is appropriate to use the term "orientalisation" when describing these changes.

Iconography of Etruscan Coins
Ederová, Kristína ; Kysela, Jan (advisor) ; Militký, Jiří (referee)
This bachelor thesis is devoted to the iconography of coins in ancient Etruria, connected with Etruscan cities. The first part is theoretical and thematically divided into two parts. First of these parts discusses the geography and a brief introduction to the social and economic issues in Etruria. The second part is an introduction to the iconography of Etruscan coins. A few of the most common themes, that occur frequently on individual mintages, are selected and then analyzed in detail. The themes are presented and compared with motifs on Greek or Roman coins, and Etruscan art. For greater clarity is the majority of chosen motifs accompanied with a table, where the occurrence of motifs across the cities is shown. Tables are divided by centuries and mintages, resulting in an overview of the cities, where the motive was used most often. The second part is a catalog of Etruscan coins, broken down by cities. The cities are accompanied by the images of coins and the tables with their denomination, metal and century of their introduction. The aim of this work is to find out what external factors had the greatest influence on the iconography of the Etruscan coins. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
