The Wall became the single most prominent feature in the urban landscape, a dominating presence which came bodily to incarnate the political, legal, administrative, and religious boundaries of urbs Roma, even as it reshaped both the physical contours of the city as a whole and the mental geographies of 'Rome' that prevailed at home and throughout the known world. With the passage of time, the circuit took on a life of its own as the embodiment of Rome's past greatness, a cultural and architectural legacy that dwarfed the quotidian realities of the post-imperial city as much as it shaped them. 517 3 $aThe Aurelian Wall & the Refashioning of Imperial Rome, AD 271-855 606 $aWalls$zItaly$zRome$xHistory 606 $aUrban landscape architecture$zItaly$zRome$xHistory 606 $aArchitecture and society$zItaly$zRome$xHistory 606 $aCity and town life$zItaly$zRome$xHistory 606 $aSocial change$zItaly$zRome$xHistory 607 $aRome (Italy)$xAntiquities, Roman 607 $aRome (Italy)$xBuildings, structures, etc 607 $aRome (Italy)$xGeography 607 $aRome (Italy)$xSocial life and customs 615 0$aWalls$xHistory. 615 0$aUrban landscape architecture$xHistory. 615 0$aArchitecture and society$xHistory. 615 0$aCity and town life$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial change$xHistory. 676 $a937/.6306 700 $aDey$b Hendrik W.$f1976-$01032144 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461478503321 996 $aThe Aurelian wall and the refashioning of Imperial Rome, A.D. 271-855$92449847 997 $aUNINA
