Junto a los dos sistemas organizativos generados en la Antigüedad -el de la polis y el del Estado- el organigrama administrativo provincial implantado por los romanos acabaria jugando un papel no despreciable en la experiencia cotidiana de los habitantes del Imperia. El objetivo de esta monografia colectiva, centrada de forma no exclusiva en Hispania, consiste en identificar la manera en que esta nueva forma de vertebracién, la provincia, sin sustituir a las anteriores, pudo comenzar a asumirse como nuevo criterio de referencia, e incluso de identificacién. Se desarrollan aqui los planteamientos teoricos de la tematica y, desde la Republica a la Antigüedad tardia, en ambitos diversos y desde épticas plurales y complementarias, se analizan los procesos por los que se pudo ir generando una identidad provincial, asi como las formulas de expresion, el alcance y los limites de ésta, manifestando respuestas diferenciadas segun las diferentes regiones.

Con este libro, Itálica consolida su imagen de unidad urbana, con una historia excepcional y diferente por las circunstancias de su fundación y su papel como patria de emperadores. Obra estructurada en tres apartados, destina el primero a dibujar un panorama de la trayectoria histórica de la ciudad y sus gentes, el segundo a una novedosa historia de las excavaciones y el tercero a una pormenorizada descripción monumental.
The mos maiorum stated that only men could hold magistracies and military office, operating in the spaces dedicated to the city’s politics — the senate, the popular assemblies, the courts, the Forum. Women, on the other hand, were obliged to conform to traditional behavioural models which excluded them from any form of political activity. Nevertheless, in the 1st century BCE, the emergency situation of the civil wars led some women to undertake political initiatives. This opportunity arose from the Roman matrons’ contingent need to represent and replace the men who until recently had managed the city’s politics, and to safeguard the ruling power among the families on which the oligar...
Hadrian's reign (AD 117-138) was a watershed in the history of the Roman Empire. Hadrian abandoned his predecessor Trajan's eastern conquests - Mesopotamia and Armenia - trimmed down the lands beyond the lower Danube, and constructed new demarcation lines in Germany, North Africa, and most famously Hadrian's Wall in Britain, to delimit the empire. The emperor Hadrian, a strange and baffling figure to his contemporaries, had a many-sided personality. Insatiably ambitious, and a passionate Philhellene, he promoted the 'Greek Renaissance' extravagantly. But his attempt to Hellenize the Jews, including the outlawing of circumcision, had disastrous consequences, and his 'Greek' love of the beauti...
In the Roman world, landscapes became legal and institutional constructions, being the core of social, political, religious, and economic life. The Romans developed ambitious urban transformations, seeking to equate civic monumentality and legal status. The built environment becomes the axis of the legal, administrative, sacred, and economic system and the main element of dissemination of imperial ideology. This volume follows the modern trend of a multifaceted, composite, multi-layered Roman world, but at the same time reduces its complexity. It views ‘Roman’ not only in the sense of power politics, but also in a cultural context. It highlights ‘landscapes’ and puts into the shadow important administrative and legal structures, i.e., individuals viz. local and imperial members of the elites living in cities, which ran the Roman world.
