Cities and society in Roman Italy

This edited collection examines the central place of cities in Roman Italy, a landscape described as containing more than 400 urban centers. Its essays connect questions of how cities originated and developed with their economic roles and ties to the countryside. They also consider how social life shaped the use of urban space. The volume’s scope links ancient history and classical archaeology with broader discussions of Mediterranean urbanism and the study of towns and complex societies. Across these topics, it offers a framework for thinking about the city not simply as a settlement, but as part of a wider social and economic world.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Ancient historians and classical archaeologists studying Roman Italy.
  • Readers interested in Mediterranean urban studies and the development of towns.
  • Those exploring social and anthropological approaches to cities and complex societies.

Book overview

This collection of original essays focuses upon Roman Italy where, with over 400 cities, urbanization was at the very centre of Italian civilization. Informed by an awareness of the social and anthropological issues of recent research, these contributions explore not only questions of urban origins, interaction with the countryside and economic function, but also the social use of space within the city and the nature of the development process.; These studies are aimed not only at ancient historians and classical archaeologists, but are directed towards those working in the related fields of urban studies in the Mediterranean world and elsewhere and upon the general theory of towns and complex societies.
