Rome, Ostia, Pompeii: Movement and Space demonstrates how studies
of the Roman city are shifting focus from static architecture to
activities and motion within urban spaces. This volume provides
detailed case studies from the three best-known cities from Roman
Italy, revealing how movement contributes to our understanding of
the ways different elements of society interacted in space, and how
the movement of people and materials shaped urban development. The
chapters in this book examine the impressions left by the movement
of people and vehicles as indentations in the archaeological and
historical record, and as impressions upon the Roman urban
consciousness. Through a broad range of historical issues, this
volume studies movement as it is found at the city gate, in public
squares and on the street, and as it is represented in texts. Its
broad objective is to make movement meaningful for understanding
the economic, cultural, political, religious, and infrastructural
behaviours that produced different types and rhythms of interaction
in the Roman city. This volume's interdisciplinary approach will
inform the understanding of the city in classics, ancient history,
archaeology and architectural history, as well as cultural studies,
town planning, urban geography, and sociology.
