Within this period of about a human lifetime, the concepts of Rome and <i>Romanitas</i> were reshaped and used for various ideological causes. This monograph is unfolding through a selection of sources that represent the patterns and diversity of this ideological process. The theme of Rome as a personified and anthropomorphic figure and as an epitomized notion 'applied' on the urban landscape of the city would become part of the identity of the Romans of Rome highlighting a sense of cultural uniqueness in comparison to the inhabitants of other cities. Towards the end of the chronological limits set in this thesis various versions of <i>Romanitas</i> would emerge indicating new physical and spiritual potentials.Social worlds of late antiquity and the early Middle AgesUrbanizationItalyRomeHistoryRomeCivilizationRomeHistoryLate Antiquity, Utopia, Rome, Intellectual History, City of God, Invention of Traditions.UrbanizationHistory.307.760945Papadopoulos Ioannis1960-1282757MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809886003321The idea of Rome in late antiquity4008688UNINA
