Publication alert! Have you ever wondered how many people might have heard Marcus Brutus’ speech delivered on the Capitol after the assassination of Caesar? A new article has been published as a result of a research project I am leading, which is funded by the National Science Centre, Poland.

Together with A. Pilch, M. Drab, and Sz. Poplawski, I investigated the acoustic properties of the speaking platforms on the Capitoline Hill and at the temple of Bellona in Rome in the context of public speaking.

The result of our research is the article ‘One, Two, Three! Can Everybody Hear Me? Acoustics of Roman Contiones. Case Studies of the Capitoline Hill and the Temple of Bellona in Rome’ published in Open Archaeology, 9(1). You can read it at https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/opar-2022-0330/html

One, Two, Three! Can Everybody Hear Me? Acoustics of Roman Contiones. Case Studies of the Capitoline Hill and the Temple of Bellona in Rome

Rhetoric was one of the cornerstones of Roman education and public speaking, the essence of being a Roman politician. The speakers attempted to captivate the audience with their style and convince them of their arguments. Studying the audience is therefore just as important as investigating the speakers and their speeches. The aim of this article is to estimate the number of people who could intelligibly hear a speaker delivering a speech from two speaking platforms located in the city of Rome: the podium of the Temple of Bellona in the Campus Martius (in the Late Republican and Late Augustan periods) and the Capitoline Temple. To do this, we built virtual reconstructions of both venues according to the current state of knowledge about them, taking into account the geometry of the space as well as the materials from which they were built. On the models thus prepared, we carried out acoustic simulations for three different levels of background noise (36, 49, and 55 dBA), resulting in Speech Transmission Index maps. The results became the basis upon which we estimated the size of the maximum potential crowds that could hear speech intelligibly, using two methods based on the behaviour of contemporary crowds. We further compared our results with those of previous studies that concern other speaking platforms in Rome.

Roman capitolium temple identified in Italy

A recent archaeological discovery has illuminated the history of Sarsina. The village has long been associated with ancient history. Now, it’s attracting attention due to the unearthing of a remarkably well-preserved Roman temple, believed to be a capitolium, dating back to the 1st century BCE.
