Rome, Pollution and Propriety brings together scholars from a range
of disciplines in order to examine the historical continuity of
dirt, disease and hygiene in one environment, and to explore the
development and transformation of these ideas alongside major
chapters in the city's history, such as early Roman urban
development, Roman pagan religion, the medieval Church, the
Renaissance, the unification of Italy and the advent of Fascism.
This volume sets out to identify the defining characteristics,
functions and discourses of pollution in Rome in such realms as
disease and medicine, death and burial, sexuality and virginity,
prostitution, purity and absolution, personal hygiene and morality,
criminality, bodies and cleansing, waste disposal, decay, ruins and
urban renovation, as well as studying the means by which that
pollution was policed and controlled.
