Taking public space as her starting point, Amy Russell offers a
fresh analysis of the ever-fluid public/private divide in
Republican Rome. Built on the 'spatial turn' in Roman studies and
incorporating textual and archaeological evidence, this book
uncovers a rich variety of urban spaces. No space in Rome was
solely or fully public. Some spaces were public but also political,
sacred, or foreign; many apparently public spaces were saturated by
the private, leaving grey areas and room for manipulation. Women,
slaves, and non-citizens were broadly excluded from politics: how
did they experience and help to shape its spaces? How did the
building projects of Republican dynasts relate to the communal
realm? From the Forum to the victory temples of the Campus Martius,
culminating in Pompey's great theatre-portico-temple-garden-house
complex, The Politics of Public Space in Republican Rome explores
how space was marked, experienced, and defined by multiple actors
and audiences.
