Download or read book Urban Space and Urban History in the Roman World written by Miko Flohr and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-08 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume investigates how urban growth and prosperity transformed the cities of the Roman Mediterranean in the last centuries BCE and the fi rst centuries CE, integrating debates about Roman urban space with discourse on Roman urban history. The contributions explore how these cities developed landscapes full of civic memory and ritual, saw commercial priorities transforming the urban environment, and began to expand signifi cantly beyond their wall circuits. These interrelated developments not only changed how cities looked and could be experienced, but they also affected the functioning of the urban community and together contributed to keeping increasingly complex urban communities socially cohesive. By focusing on the transformation of urban landscapes in the Late Republican and Imperial periods, the volume adds a new, explicitly historical angle to current debates about urban space in Roman studies. Confronting archaeological and historical approaches, the volume presents developments in Italy, Africa, Greece, and Asia Minor, thus significantly broadening the geographical scope of the discussion and offering novel theoretical perspectives alongside well- documented, thematic case studies. Urban Space and Urban History in the Roman World will be of interest to anyone working on Roman urbanism or Roman history in the Late Republic and early Empire.

Generously illustrated with 141 plans and photographs, The Story of the Roman Amphitheatre offers a comprehensive picture of the origins, development, and eventual decline of the most typical and evocative of Roman monuments. With a detailed examination of the Colosseum, as well as case studies of significant sites from Italy, Gaul, Spain and Roman North Africa, the book is a fascinating gazetteer for the general reader as well as a valuable tool for students and academics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kleijn, G. de The Water Supply of Ancient Rome. City Area, Water, and Population. 2001 The Aqua Appia (312 BC) was the first of the eleven aqueducts leading to Rome to be built in antiquity. Time and again, the volume of water brought into the city was increased through the construction of new aqueducts. Rome’s population and the extent of its built-up area also changed over time. This study examines how data derived from our knowledge of the urban water supply in antiquity may help answering questions about the urban social fabric and topography. DMAHA 22 (2001), 365 p.

Download or read book Pompeii s Ashes written by Eric Moormann and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2015-03-10 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there are many works dealing with Pompeii and Herculaneum, none of them try to encompass the entire spectrum of material related to its reception in popular imagination. Pompeii’s Ashes surveys a broad variety of such works, ranging from travelogues between ca. 1740 and 2010 to 250 years of fiction, including stage works, music, and films. The first two chapters provide an in-depth analysis of the excavation history and an overview of the reflections of travelers. The six remaining chapters discuss several clearly-defined genres: historical novels with pagan tendencies, and those with Christians and Jews as protagonists, contemporary adventures, time traveling, mock manuscripts, and works dedicated to Vesuvius. “Pompeii’s Ashes” demonstrates how the eternal fascination with the oldest still-running archaeological projects in the world began, developed, and continue until now.
Download or read book City Boundaries and Urban Development in Roman Italy written by Saskia Stevens and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Roman cities, boundaries were an important way of defining spaces. The significance of such boundaries was mediated by specific cultural rules. Besides physical boundaries, such as city walls and gates, also immaterial ones, such as the pomerium, demarcated an urban context. Certain civic boundaries were highly visible and relevant to everyone, while others were important to only a small number of people. This book takes a new approach to Roman urban boundaries and city planning by exploring the dynamics and interaction between urban development processes, city limits and the law. As a result, Roman attitudes towards the symbolic meanings of civic boundaries can be better understood. Not only landownership influenced and determined the use of urban space and its boundaries; also conflicts and constant negotiations between law, culture and tradition, politics, and the dynamics of everyday urban life were important for the way the Romans approached urban limits.

Download or read book Tusculum VI written by Javier Aquilué Abadías and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta monografía recoge las investigaciones realizadas en el sector de la denominada fuente arcaica de "Tusculum" (Lacio, Italia), uno de los monumentos más icónicos del conjunto arqueológico. El edificio forma parte de un complejo sistema de captación de agua de tradición etrusca descubierto a inicios del siglo XIX y conservado en pie hasta hoy en día. Presenta una ubicación estratégica junto a la calzada que, procedente de la vía Labicana, daba acceso al foro por su lado norte. A pesar de su importancia para el abastecimiento hídrico de la ciudad, como muestra el uso prolongado que tuvo durante la Antigüedad y las múltiples transformaciones a las que fue sometido, el monumento carecía de un análisis arqueológico integral. Con el objetivo de comprender su origen y evolución, esta zona fue excavada bajo la dirección de la Escuela Española de Historia y Arqueología en Roma (EEHAR-CSIC) y la sede de Empúries del Museu d’Arqueologia de Catalunya (MAC-Empúries) entre los años 1996 y 2000. El volumen consagra una especial atención a la documentación gráfica de las estructuras arquitectónicas, a las secuencias estratigráficas y a los contextos cerámicos, cuyo estudio ha permitido fechar e interpretar las principales construcciones materializadas entre la época arcaica y la alto-imperial. La fuente ha podido ser datada entre finales del siglo VI e inicios del siglo V a. C. Asimismo, destaca la edificación de importantes lienzos murarios, uno en "opus quadratum" relacionado con los trabajos de aterrazamiento que facilitaron la implantación de la plaza forense entre el 260 y el 250 a. C. y otro en aparejo poligonal en la segunda mitad del siglo III a. C., de funcionalidad indeterminada. Entre el 80 y el 70 a. C. todo el sector fue monumentalizado con nuevos muros en "opera quadrata" y estructuras en "opus reticulatum" y "caementicium", una obra a la que se asocia la pila con la conocida inscripción de los ediles "Quintus Coelius" y "Marcus Decumius". La última intervención de envergadura se detecta en los primeros años de la década de los 50 d. C., cuando se construyó la vía enlosada visible en la actualidad, amortizando la calzada de época republicana y elevando la cota de circulación. Las diferentes fases arquitectónicas estudiadas se corresponden con los momentos de mayor actividad edilicia de "Tusculum", desde su integración en la órbita de influencia de Roma hasta el poder alcanzado por las élites locales en época de Claudio, constituyendo un fiel reflejo del desarrollo histórico de la ciudad.
