1907 Dissel

This was the first publication to include the remarkable 1904 drawing by Joseph Durm, a surprisingly convincing hypothetical reconstruction based on the limited evidence then available.

Scanned from Karl Disel, Der Opferzug der Ara Pacis Augustae, nebst drei Tafeln. Wissenschaftliche Beilage zum Jahresbericht zumWilhelm-Gymnasium in Hamburg, Ostern, 1907, Hamburg, 1907. Reproduced with appreciation.

A copy of this book, digitized by Google from a copy at the University of Wisconsin, but without the major foldout for plate 2, is available on the web through the HahtiTrust.

Karl Dissel The Sacrificial Procession of the Ara Pacis Augustae Hamburg, 1907	Plate 1 - "Reconstruction of the altar, designed by Joseph Durm" "View of the west and southsides. The arrangement of the figures here is different than proposed in the following treatise. From Durm, Baukunst der Etrusker und Römer". Joseph Durm 1904
	Plate 2 - foldout sheet. "Procession of the southside". Slab XVIII and XVII Villa Medici. Slabs XVI and XV Uffizi. Slab XIV Uffizi. This was the first attempt at numbering the figures on the southside processional relief. The 2 slabs at left are no longer considered from the Ara Pacis.	Plate 3 . "Westfront of the altarbuilding: Villa Medici, door, Terme Museum" Dissel here proposes these 2 reliefs for the left and right sides of the westfront. The slab at left is no longer considered from the Ara Pacis.
