Cities in the ancient world relied on private generosity to provide
many basic amenities, as well as expecting leading citizens to pay
for 'bread and circuses' - free food and public entertainment. This
collection of essays by leading scholars from the UK and USA
explores the important phenomenon of benefaction and public
patronage in Roman Italy. Ranging from the late republican period
to the later Roman Empire, the contributions cover a wide range of
topics, including the impact of benefactions and benefactors on the
urban development of Roman Italy, on cultural and economic
activity, and on the changing role of games and festivals in Roman
society. They also explore the relationship between communities and
their benefactors, whether these were local notables, senators, or
the emperor himself, and examine how the nature of benefaction
changed under the Empire.
