The Moving City: Processions, Passages and Promenades in Ancient
Rome focusses on movements in the ancient city of Rome, exploring
the interaction between people and monuments. Representing a novel
approach to the Roman cityscape and culture, and reflecting the
shift away from the traditional study of single monuments into
broader analyses of context and space, the volume reveals both how
movement adds to our understanding of ancient society, and how the
movement of people and goods shaped urban development. Covering a
wide range of people, places, sources, and times, the volume
includes a survey of Republican, imperial, and late antique
movement, triumphal processions of conquering generals, seditious,
violent movement of riots and rebellion, religious processions and
rituals and the everyday movements of individual strolls or
household errands. By way of its longue duree, dense location and
the variety of available sources, the city of ancient Rome offers a
unique possibility to study movements as expressions of power,
ritual, writing, communication, mentalities, trade, and - also as a
result of a massed populace - violent outbreaks and attempts to
keep order. The emerging picture is of a bustling, lively society,
where cityscape and movements are closely interactive and entwined.
