Architecture in Ancient Central Italy takes studies of individual
elements and sites as a starting point to reconstruct a much larger
picture of architecture in western central Italy as an industry,
and to position the result in space (in the Mediterranean world and
beyond) and time (from the second millennium BC to Late Antiquity).
This volume demonstrates that buildings in pre-Roman Italy have
close connections with Bronze Age and Roman architecture, with
practices in local and distant societies, and with the natural
world and the cosmos. It also argues that buildings serve as
windows into the minds and lives of those who made and used them,
revealing the concerns and character of communities in early
Etruria, Rome, and Latium. Architecture consequently emerges as a
valuable historical source, and moreover a part of life that shaped
society as much as reflected it.
