Roman Urbanism in Italy
This study presents new evidence for the development of commerce and inter-regional trade through survey and analysis of urban layout and architecture. The study of Roman urbanism – especially its early (Republican) phases – is extensively rooted in the evidence provided by a series of key sites, several of them located in Italy. Some of these Italian towns (e.g. Fregellae, Alba Fucens, Cosa) have received a great deal of scholarly attention in the past and they are routinely referenced as textbook examples, framing much of our understanding of the broad phenomenon of Roman urbanism. However, discussions of these sites tend to fall back on well-established interpretations, with relativel...
The Socio-Economics of Roman Storage
This is the first archaeological study to approach the central problem of storage in the Roman world holistically, across contexts and datasets, of interest to students and scholars of Roman archaeology and history and to anthropologists keen to link the scales of farmer and state.
The Economy of Pompeii
This book is the first to address, from a variety of perspectives, the economy of the Roman city of Pompeii. It uses archaeological and textual evidence to discuss topics as diverse as agriculture in the fertile plains at the foot of mount Vesuvius, diet and health, manufacturing, urban investment, consumption, trade and money.
The Roman Villa in the Mediterranean Basin
This volume offers a comprehensive survey of Roman villas in Italy and the Mediterranean provinces of the Roman Empire, from their origins to the collapse of the Empire. The architecture of villas could be humble or grand, and sometimes luxurious. Villas were most often farms where wine, olive oil, cereals, and manufactured goods, among other products, were produced. They were also venues for hospitality, conversation, and thinking on pagan, and ultimately Christian, themes. Villas spread as the Empire grew. Like towns and cities, they became the means of power and assimilation, just as infrastructure, such as aqueducts and bridges, was transforming the Mediterranean into a Roman sea. The distinctive Roman/Italian villa type was transferred to the provinces, resulting in Mediterranean-wide culture of rural dwelling and work that further unified the Empire.
La canzone napoletana. Tra memoria e innovazione
Studiosi scrivono di un’imprenditoria musicale napoletana che, in un territorio considerato comunemente dalla storiografia economicamente arretrato e depresso, è in grado di tessere alleanze strategiche fra produzione culturale e segmenti economico-produttivi come il commercio e il turismo, e di produrre e diffondere, in sinergia con la stampa d’informazione e con le organizzazioni dello spettacolo dal vivo, prodotti con caratteristiche adatte a incontrare un pubblico vasto, internazionale, interclassista e multiculturale. Fra i diversi motivi d’interesse legati a un’indagine multidisciplinare sulla canzone napoletana, inoltre, c’è il fatto che essa rimane un “fattore distintivo” dell’immagine locale, dal quale sarebbe lecito aspettarsi ricadute nelle strategie di differenziazione del prodotto turistico napoletano e dei prodotti napoletani sui mercati globali.
