Few river valleys can claim the historical importance of the Tiber,
and an understanding of the river and its valley is key to an
understanding of Rome and its place in the ancient world. When Rome
was in its ascendancy, the Tiber became a vital route for
communication and trade, but when Rome went into decline, the Tiber
became a buffer-zone between Rome and Byzantium. This ebb and flow,
with the associated reorganisation of social, political and
economic life are themes central to any study of Roman
civilisation. The 19 papers published in this volume were first
presented at two workshops at the British School at Rome, in 1997
and '98. These workshops came about as part of the Tiber Valley
Project, which aims to examine the changing landscapes on both
sides of the valley from 1000 BC to AD 1300. English and Italian
text.
