How were space and movement in Roman cities affected by economic
life? What can the study of Roman urban landscapes tell us about
the nature of the Roman economy? These are the central questions
addressed in this volume. While there exist many studies of Roman
urban space and of the Roman economy, rarely have the two topics
been investigated together in a sustained fashion. In this volume,
an international team of archaeologists and historians focuses
explicitly on the economics of space and mobility in Roman Imperial
cities, in both Italy and the provinces, east and west. Employing
many kinds of material and written evidence and a wide range of
methodologies, the contributors cast new light both on well-known
and on less-explored sites. With their direct focus on the everyday
economic uses of urban spaces and the movements through them, the
contributors offer a fresh and innovative perspective on the
workings of Roman urban economies and on the debates concerning
space in the Roman world. This volume will be of interest to
archaeologists and historians, both those studying the Greco-Roman
world and those focusing on urban economic space in other periods
and places as well as to other scholars studying premodern urbanism
and urban economies.
