The Politics of Public Space in Republican Rome

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In Republican Rome the Forum Romanum, the Capitoline, victory temples, and Pompey's theatre complex were less public than they appear. Using innovative spatial approaches to question the public/private divide, Amy Russell deploys archaeological and textual evidence to propose a new understanding of public space.
