The Roman city in ca.AD 250: an urban legacy of Empire?; Bibliography; Index. 330 $aThe city is widely regarded as the most characteristic expression of the social, cultural and economic formations of the Roman Empire. This was especially true in the Latin-speaking West, where urbanism was much less deeply ingrained than in the Greek-speaking East but where networks of cities grew up during the centuries following conquest and occupation. This up-to-date and well-illustrated synthesis provides students and specialists with an overview of the development of the city in Italy, Gaul, Britain, Germany, Spain and North Africa, whether their interests lie in ancient history, Roman archaeology or the wider history of urbanism. It accounts not only for the city's geographical and temporal spread and its associated monuments (such as amphitheatres and baths), but also for its importance to the rulers of the Empire as well as the provincials and locals. 606 $aCities and towns$zRome 606 $aUrbanization$zRome 606 $aSociology, Urban$zRome 606 $aCity planning$zRome 615 0$aCities and towns 615 0$aUrbanization 615 0$aSociology, Urban 615 0$aCity planning 676 $a307.760937 686 $aHIS002000$2bisacsh 700 $aLaurence$b Ray$f1963-$0176730 702 $aEsmonde Cleary$b A.
