Spanning the entire history of the city of Rome from Iron Age
village to modern metropolis, this is the first book to take the
long view of the Eternal City as an urban organism. Three thousand
years old and counting, Rome has thrived almost from the start on
self-reference, supplementing the everyday concerns of urban
management and planning by projecting its own past onto the city of
the moment. This is a study of the urban processes by which Rome's
people and leaders, both as custodians of its illustrious past and
as agents of its expansive power, have shaped and conditioned its
urban fabric by manipulating geography and organizing space;
planning infrastructure; designing and presiding over mythmaking,
ritual, and stagecraft; controlling resident and transient
populations; and exploiting Rome's standing as a seat of global
power and a religious capital.
