The Changing Landscapes of Rome's Northern Hinterland presents a
new regional history of the middle Tiber valley as a lens through
which to view the emergence and transformation of the city of Rome
from 1000 BC to AD 1000. Setting the ancient city within the
context of its immediate territory, the authors reveal the diverse
and enduring links between the metropolis and its hinterland. At
the heart of the volume is a detailed consideration of the results
of a complete restudy of the pioneering South Etruria Survey (c.
1955-1970), one of the earliest and most influential Mediterranean
landscape projects. Between 1998 and 2002, an international team
based at the British School at Rome conducted a comprehensive
restudy of the material and documentary archive generated by the
South Etruria Survey. The results were supplemented with a number
of other published and unpublished sources of archaeological
evidence to create a database of around 5000 sites across southern
Etruria and the Sabina Tiberina, extending in date from the Bronze
Age, through the Etruscan/Sabine, Republican and imperial periods,
to the middle ages. Analysis and discussion of these data have
appeared in a series of interim articles published over the past
two decades; the present volume offers a final synthesis of the
project results. The chapters include the first detailed assessment
of the field methods of the South Etruria Survey, an extended
discussion of the use of archaeological legacy data, and new
insights into the social and economic connectivities between Rome
and the communities of its northern hinterland across two
millennia. The volume as a whole demonstrates how the
archaeological evidence generated by landscape surveys can be used
to rewrite narrative histories, even those based on cities as
familiar as ancient Rome. Includes contributions by Martin Millett,
Simon Keay and Christopher Smith, and a preface by Andrew
Wallace-Hadrill.
