This book explores the relationship between the city of Rome and
the Aurelian Wall during the six centuries following its
construction in the 270s AD, a period when the city changed and
contracted almost beyond recognition, as it evolved from imperial
capital into the spiritual center of Western Christendom. The Wall
became the single most prominent feature in the urban landscape, a
dominating presence which came bodily to incarnate the political,
legal, administrative, and religious boundaries of urbs Roma, even
as it reshaped both the physical contours of the city as a whole
and the mental geographies of 'Rome' that prevailed at home and
throughout the known world. With the passage of time, the circuit
took on a life of its own as the embodiment of Rome's past
greatness, a cultural and architectural legacy that dwarfed the
quotidian realities of the post-imperial city as much as it shaped
them.
