The Food Conservation in Roman Italy
Benková, Martina ; Titz, Pavel (advisor) ; Ondřejová, Iva (referee)
This document deals with problems of food preservation in the ancient world focusing on Roman Italy. Attention is concentrated on individual conservation practices, covering the techniques of storage and direct preservative interventions, which include dehydration, salting, sweetening, pickling, smoking or making of diary products. The work is mainly based on the study of contemporary literary works particularly Latin agricultural handbooks dating from the 2nd century BC to the 6th century AD. The information obtained is supplemented to the maximum extent by iconographic sources and archaeological evidence of individual installations and their products. The result is a comprehensive overview of preservation methods, divided into categories and subcategories based on used technology approaches characterized in the introduction to each chapter.

Early Temples of Ancient Rome and Their Architecture
Götzová, Lucie ; Titz, Pavel (advisor) ; Bouzek, Jan (referee)
In my bachelor thesis I focuse on the beginnings of temple architecture in ancient Rome. Its purpose is to follow the development of temple architecture from its origin to the year 264 BC on archaeological basis chronologically, topographically, architecturally and historically. This historic landmark is determined more or less artificially when the First Punic War, directed ancient Rome and its politics finally to the whole Mediterranean. Based on our research, we can assume there are more than 30 temples in Rome itself. I have compiled a detailed list including the bibliography to them and plans. Furthermore, I also used the relevant ancient written sources and professional secondary bibliography. I have fitted collected facts into appropriate historical framework, I have assessed the development of architectural concepts and created a clear map of the discussed buildings. Keywords: Ancient Rome, Temples, Architecture, Roman Kingdom, Roman Republic

Curse Tablets and their Archaeological Context in the Roman Province of Britannia
Śmiejová, Michaela ; Titz, Pavel (advisor) ; Musil, Jiří (referee)
(in English): Curse tablets are interesting phenomenon in the Ancient world. The curses are usully written on the lead tablet. Totally there are about 1500 curses found, from which one third is written in latin and 309 from that amount were founf in Roman Britain. I focus on this countable group in my Diploma Thesis. Firstly I prefer the archaeological side of the artefact. The context is usually the only way to date and understand the curse tablet itself. I offer all the sites where information about them is given. We can talk also about the so called prayers for justice which are quite numerous in Britannia. They are of the same principle as curses, but they are not made for satisfied selfish ambitions. They ask gods for help. Most often they are made because of the robbery which has not been punished in the world of mortals, because the thief is not known or there are too many suspects.

Literary, cultural and historical influences in the works and beliefs of Oscar Wilde
Lorenzů, Alex ; Beran, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Quinn, Justin (referee)
The thesis deals with the cultural and literary influences that can be traced in the works of Oscar Wilde. Its aim is to map out and elucidate some of the important motifs of the author's work and aesthetics in their own context as well as in the wider cultural-historical one. The methods used will be comparison of relevant materials, analysis of certain expressions typical of the author with their connotations, explaining the intertextual allusions in Wilde's work, and historical sources. The requisite attention will also be paid to Wilde as a representative of a subversive element of Victorian society and how this relates to his sexuality; that is to say, exploring the issue of the tabooing of non-heterosexuality, which may have been a decisive factor in Wilde's criticism of the conventions of his era and to his search of positive role-models in the ancient tradition both for his art and for his personal philosophy. Keywords Ancient Greece, ancient Rome, fin-de-siecle, homosexuality, intertextuality, l'art pour l'art, LGBTQ*, Marius the Epicurean, metatextuality, non-heterosexuality, Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Victorian era, Walter Pater.
