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. 606 $aWalking$zRome$xHistory 606 $aWalking$xSocial aspects$zRome$xHistory 606 $aWalking$zRome$xPsychological aspects$xHistory 606 $aIdentity (Psychology)$zRome$xHistory 606 $aGroup identity$zRome$xHistory 606 $aCity and town life$zRome$xHistory 606 $aWalking in literature 606 $aLatin literature$xHistory and criticism 607 $aRome$xSocial life and customs 607 $aRome (Italy)$xSocial life and customs 615 0$aWalking$xHistory. 615 0$aWalking$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aWalking$xPsychological aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aIdentity (Psychology)$xHistory. 615 0$aGroup identity$xHistory. 615 0$aCity and town life$xHistory. 615 0$aWalking in literature. 615 0$aLatin literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a937 700 $aO'Sullivan$b Timothy M.$f1975-$01050711 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457191403321 996 $aWalking in Roman culture$92480744 997 $aUNINA
