This book tackles how and why 'landscape' (farms, gardens,
countryside) set the scene in the first centuries BCE and CE for
Romans keen to talk up and about (but also to scrutinize and
understand) what it meant to be a citizen. It investigates what
'landscape' means now and reflects upon how contemporary approaches
to 'landscape' can enrich our understanding of ancient experience
of the interface between natural and artificial space. It
encourages examination of 'landscape' from a range of angles,
suggesting alternative ways of thinking about what landscape
represents. These methodological approaches (presented initially
via a set of key terms and definitions and then deployed
thematically across four chapters), combined with a detailed
interdisciplinary bibliography and a series of case studies of
literary texts and material sites, enable readers to use this
survey as a starting point for developing their own in-depth study.
