Walking served as an occasion for the display of power and status
in ancient Rome, where great men paraded with their entourages
through city streets and elite villa owners strolled with friends
in private colonnades and gardens. In this first book-length
treatment of the culture of walking in ancient Rome, Timothy
O'Sullivan explores the careful attention which Romans paid to the
way they moved through their society. He employs a wide range of
literary, artistic, and architectural evidence to reveal the
crucial role that walking played in the performance of social
status, the discourse of the body and the representation of space.
By examining how Roman authors depict walking, this book sheds new
light on the Romans themselves not only how they perceived
themselves and their experience of the world, but also how they
drew distinctions between work and play, mind and body, and
republic and empire."
