Summary:
Rather than look only at the physical development of Rome - its buildings, monuments, and urban spaces - Dyson also explores its social, economic, and cultural histories. This approach situates Rome against a background of comparative urban history and theory, allowing Dyson to examine the dynamic society that once thrived there. Dyson follows Rome as it developed between the third century BC and the fourth century AD, dividing the megalopolis into distinct neighborhoods and locales. He shows how these communities, each with its own unique customs and colorful inhabitants, eventually grew into the great imperial capital of the Italian Empire. Dyson integrates the full range of sources available -- literary, artistic, epigraphic, and archaeological -- to create a comprehensive history of the monumental city. In doing so, he offers a dramatic picture of a complex and changing urban center that, despite its flaws, flourished for centuries.
