Equites , republic and empire
Eques (pl. Equites ), translates as horseman. The origins of the Equestrians as a distinct social category lay in the military organization of early Rome. During the republican period, they became a wealthy, socially eminent class, which exploited the business interests of the Roman Empire, and a political pressure group. Augustus reformed the Equites ( Ordo Equester ) and employed them as a second tier of administration. Their responsibilities g…
Municipia , Roman Republic
Municipia (sing. municipium ) were the institution by which the Romans incorporated Italian communities into the Roman state, permitting the expansion of the Roman citizen‐body without fundamentally affecting Rome's city‐state ( polis ) institutions. They were a vital mechanism of Roman expansion and control in Italy and later in the provinces. Although incorporated into the Roman state, municipia maintained their local identity and retained thei…
Italy, southern
Geographically, southern Italy is characterized by the high mountains of the Apennines and the fertile coastal plains, and this geography produced characteristically independent peoples. Its history and development were influenced by the Greeks, Etruscans, and Romans. The communities gained full Roman citizenship after the Social War and became part of a united Italy. The area enjoyed the benefits of the pax Romana in the first two and a half cen…
Histria, Romania
Histria (Istros) was the first Greek colony on the west coast of the Black Sea. It grew rapidly and became one of the most important and prosperous Greek cities in the region; and it remained prosperous into the late Roman period. It was sacked on several occasions. There was progressive silting of the coastline from the Hellenistic period onward, and the city was eventually cut off from the sea. After almost fourteen hundred years of continuous …

Equites , republic and empire
The word Eques (pl. Equites ) is related to the Latin for horse ( equus) and means horseman. Hence the term Equites is often misleadingly translated as “knights.” Traditionally, the origins of the Equites lay in the military organization of early Rome. During the republican period, they evolved into a wealthy, socially eminent class, which exploited the business interests of the expanding Roman Empire, and a political pressure group. Augustus ref…
Roads, Roman Republic
Dionysus of Halicarnassus remarked that roads were one of the three Roman achievements that “manifested the greatness of the Roman Empire” ( Ant . Rom . 3.67.5).
Municipia , Roman Republic
Unlike colonies ( see Colonies, Roman and Latin (Republican)), originally Municipia (sing. municipium ) were existing Italian communities that Rome incorporated into the Roman state by means of sharing citizenship.
Italy, southern
Southern Italy, together with Sicily, forms a bridge between Europe and Africa, and also links the eastern Mediterranean with the western Mediterranean.

Aquae Sextiae
Aquae Sextiae Salluviorum (mod. Aix‐en‐Provence, France) was reputedly the earliest Roman foundation in Transalpine (later Narbonese) Gaul.
The City in the Greek and Roman World
Megalopolis Under the Roman Empire
The Koprologoi at Athens in the Fifth and Fourth Centuries B.C
The collection and disposal of rubbish and waste and the maintenance of a decent standard of hygiene was as much a problem for ancient city authorities as for modern town councils. The responsibility for the removal of waste would often be dependent upon the nature of the rubbish and the facilities which city authorities offered. Thus early in the fourth century B.C. the agoranomic law from Piraeus prohibited individuals from piling earth and oth…
