In this 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.WalkingRomeHistoryWalkingSocial aspectsRomeHistoryWalkingRomePsychological aspectsHistoryIdentity (Psychology)RomeHistoryGroup identityRomeHistoryCity and town lifeRomeHistoryWalking in literatureLatin literatureHistory and criticismRomeSocial life and customsRome (Italy)Social life and customsWalkingHistory.WalkingSocial aspectsHistory.WalkingPsychological aspectsHistory.Identity (Psychology)History.Group identityHistory.City and town lifeHistory.Walking in literature.Latin literatureHistory and criticism.937O'Sullivan Timothy M.1975-1623104MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910815582303321Walking in Roman culture3957312UNINA
