The Roman road system was the main service infrastructure for
administrative management, economic operation and defense of the
empire. Along with roads, a key element of this infrastructure were
the resting places more or less directly linked with vehiculatio /
cursus publicus, or with a system run or controlled by the state to
ensure essential services (safe stop, supplies, maintenance of
horses and other animals) to those traveling on behalf of the
public administration. New archaeological research and new studies
on a rich and diverse body of extra-archaeological sources have
recently reported the attention of the international scientific
community on the subject of parking places, within the more general
theme of the smaller settlements in the Roman world and their
evolution in late antiquity and early medieval times. This volume
brings together contributions from scholars from three different
generations, starting from different sources and methodological
approaches, converging towards the construction of an area of
common reflection on a theme still relatively underdeveloped. The
goal is to lay the foundation for a deepening of the
interdisciplinary debate and to develop new research projects.
