Ancient Rome: The Archaeology of the Eternal CityJ. C. Coulston, Hazel Dodge "The editors of this book have gathered a group of internationally renowned scholars who have been working at the centre of recent archaeological developments in Rome. The result is an interconnected series of richly illustrated chapters, each exploring aspects of the archaeology of the ancient city and employing the latest research. These are organised both chronologically and thematically to examine Early and Archaic Rome, the Middle Republic, Augustus and the image of Rome, soldiery in Imperial Rome, the construction industry, feeding and watering the city, entertainment, living and dying, religions, late imperial Rome, and the innovative architecture of Roma Capitale. An appendix introduces the sources for ancient Rome, and a Research Bibliography presents over 1,700 titles for further study." -- Provided by publisher |
