Opis

Studies of the Roman city are currently shifting away from architecture towards a dynamic understanding of activities within the urban space. This volume focuses on the movement or flow of a Roman city's inhabitants and visitors, demonstrating how it contributes to our understanding of the way different elements of society interacted in space.

Recenzje

in presenting a broad collection of scholarship explicitly focused on movement, the editors have reinvigorated future research on space and movement and have proven its interdisciplinary applicability . . . an ambitious and innovative collection of stimulating scholarship that is certain to have a considerable impact on the future of spatial studies and will clearly form a core text for both scholars and students of Roman urbanism for many years to come.
