This volume presents a collection of studies focussing on
population and settlement patterns in the Roman empire in the
perspective of the economic development of the Mediterranean world
between 100 BC and AD 350. The analyses offered here highlight the
issues of regional and temporal variation in Italy, Spain, Britain,
Egypt, Crete, and Asia Minor from classical Greece to the early
Byzantine period. The chapters fall into two main groups, the first
dealing with the evidence for rural settlement, as revealed by
archaeological field surveys, and the attendant methodological
problems of extrapolating from that evidence a view of population;
and the second with city populations and the phenomenon of
urbanization. They proceed to consider hierarchies of settlement in
the characteristic classical pattern of city plus territory, and
the way in which those entities are defined from the highest to the
lowest level: the empire as 'city of Rome plus territory', then
regional and local hierarchies, and, more precisely, the identity
and the nature of the 'instruments' which enables them to function
in economic cohesion.
