In Omnibus Regionibus ? The Fourteen Regions and the City of Rome
Scholarship on the fourteen Augustan regions of Rome has tended to focus on their political and topographical significance. As a result, evidence for their social meaning and their impact on the mindsets and practices of the city's administrators and rulers has been under-exploited. This article seeks to address this lacuna. It begins by reviewing the history of Rome's regions and asking how and where the boundaries of the Augustan regions were r…
Forum
A forum was the monumental civic center of a city in the western Roman empire. Already common by the third century bce , fora became increasingly regularized and formalized over the succeeding centuries. Those in Rome always remained important archetypes, but new developments such as the double forum‐basilica complex flourished in the northwestern provinces. Typically an open rectangular area surrounded by public buildings, the forum was the meta…
Agrarian writers, agronomists
The ancient agrarian writers (or agronomists) wrote manuals on the practice of farming. Though often categorized as technical literature, the principal surviving examples – Cato's De agri cultura , Varro's Res rusticae, and Columella's De re rustica – all demonstrate literary self‐conscious, and in Varro and Columella this is highly developed. The genre was always highly moralizing, and concerned at least as much with elite self‐fashioning as pro…
Vicus
The word vicus denotes a cluster of residences, and could be used specifically to describe an urban neighborhood, a type of village, or a civilian settlement outside a military fort. The best‐known vici are the neighborhoods of Rome, distinct communities within the city which had a religious focus in the shrines of the lares as well as an administrative role.
Hinterland
A hinterland is the primary short‐distance trading area for an urban central place. In antiquity, high transport costs meant that this area usually supplied the bulk of a city's food needs, making it expedient to control it politically. Nonetheless, long‐distance trade networks allowed some cities to cultivate economic hinterlands which extended well beyond their own directly‐controlled territory. City and hinterland have sometimes been seen as s…
Afterlives of Augustus, AD 14–2014
The bimillennium of Augustus' death on 19 August 2014 commemorated not only the end of his life but also the beginning of a two-thousand-year reception history. This volume addresses the range and breadth of that history. Beginning with the Emperor's death and continuing through Late Antiquity, Early Christianity, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and early modernity to the present day, chapters address political positioning, religious mythologisa…
Twelve Augusti
A rash of new festivals, a fashion for calendars and a renamed month all attest to the strength of anniversary culture in the Augustan era, and to Augustus’ own facility for capitalising upon it. We can safely assume that he would have understood, and perhaps even anticipated, that the bimillennium of his death might be commemorated. Whether he would quite have expected the exhibitions, conferences and publications with which twenty-first-century…
Hinterland
“Hinterland,” a term originally drawn from the field of economic geography, describes the area immediately around a city or settlement with which it is particularly closely linked through the medium of trade.
Forum
In the western half of the Roman Empire, cities founded by Rome or aspiring to the form of urbanism generally associated with Rome were usually designed around a central meeting place known as the forum.
Vicus
The Latin word vicus denotes a community larger than a single household, but smaller than acity.
Agrarian writers,agronomists
Given the centrality of agricultural production to ancient life and the status accorded to the pursuit of farming, it is no surprise that ancient authors wrote extensively on the subject.
Temples in Late Antique Gaul
Literary sources emphasise the role of Christian iconoclasts and churchbuilders in the demise of Gaul’s pagan temples. But the picture from archaeology is different, since excavated remains suggest that the main story is one of voluntary abandonment from the late 3rd c. A.D. onwards. This may be linked with the military upheavals of the period, but indirectly, due to factors such as financial difficulties and the changing priorities of the elite.…
