The first two centuries AD are conventionally thought of as the
"golden age" of the Roman Empire, yet Italy in this period has
often been seen as being in a state of decline and even crisis.
This book investigates the relationships between city and
countryside in Italy in the early Empire, using evidence from
literary texts and inscriptions, and the wealth of data derived
from archaeological field surveys over recent years. Looking at
individual towns and regions as well as at the broader picture, and
stressing the diversity of situations across Italy, John R.
Patterson examines how changing patterns of building and
benefaction in the cities were related to developments in the
country, and underlines the resourcefulness of the cities, both
large and small, in seeking to maintain and develop their civic
traditions.
