The spatial turn has brought forward new analytical imperatives about the importance of space in the relationship between physical and social networks of meaning. This volume explores this in relation to approaches and methodologies in the study of urban space in Roman Italy.

Recenzje

"...The book offers an excellent collection of thought-provoking essays, each foregrounding firm perspectives on the study of space of antiquity. They illustrate robust ways to gauge the nucleation and evolution of ancient space in the Roman period." - Bryn Mawr Classical Review
