A mosquito-infested and swampy plain lying north of the city walls,
Rome's Campus Martius, or Field of Mars, was used for much of the
period of the Republic as a military training ground and as a site
for celebratory rituals and occasional political assemblies.
Initially punctuated with temples vowed by victorious generals,
during the imperial era it became filled with extraordinary baths,
theaters, porticoes, aqueducts, and other structures - many of
which were architectural firsts for the capitol. This book explores
the myriad factors that contributed to the transformation of the
Campus Martius from an occasionally visited space to a crowded
center of daily activity. It presents a case study of the
repurposing of urban landscape in the Roman world and explores how
existing topographical features that fit well with the Republic's
needs ultimately attracted architecture that forever transformed
those features but still resonated with the area's original
military and ceremonial traditions.
