Running Rome and its Empire The Places of Roman Governance

Running Rome and its Empire The Places of Roman Governance

This volume explores the transformation of public space and administrative activities in republican and imperial Rome through an interdisciplinary examination of the topography of power. Throughout the Roman world building projects created spaces for different civic purposes such as hosting assemblies holding senate meetings the administration of justice housing the public treasury and the management of the city through different magistracies offices and even archives. These administrative spaces – both open and closed – characterised Roman life throughout the Republic and High Empire until the administrative and judicial transformations of the fourth century CE. This volume explores urban development and the dynamics of administrative expansion linking them with some of the most recent archaeological discoveries. In doing so it examines several facets of the transformation of Roman administration over this period considering new approaches to and theories on the uses of public space and incorporating new work in Roman studies that focuses on the spatial needs of human users rather than architectural style and design. This fascinating collection of essays is of interest to students and scholars working on Roman space and urbanism Roman governance and the running of the Roman Empire more broadly. | Running Rome and its Empire The Places of Roman Governance

Reassembling Religion in Roman Italy

Reassembling Religion in Roman Italy

This book examines the ways in which lived religion in Roman Italy involved personal and communal experiences of the religious agency generated when ritualised activities caused human and more-than-human things to become bundled together into relational assemblages. Drawing upon broadly posthumanist and new materialist theories concerning the thingliness of things it sets out to re-evaluate the role of the material world within Roman religion and to offer new perspectives on the formation of multi-scalar forms of ancient religious knowledge. It explores what happens when a materially informed approach is systematically applied to the investigation of typical questions about Roman religion such as: What did Romans understand ‘religion’ to mean? What did religious experiences allow people to understand about the material world and their own place within it? How were experiences of ritual connected with shared beliefs or concepts about the relationship between the mortal and divine worlds? How was divinity constructed and perceived? To answer these questions it gathers and evaluates archaeological evidence associated with a series of case studies. Each of these focuses on a key component of the ritualised assemblages shown to have produced Roman religious agency – place objects bodies and divinity – and centres on an examination of experiences of lived religion as it related to the contexts of monumentalised sanctuaries cult instruments used in public sacrifice anatomical votive offerings cult images and the qualities of divinity and magic as a situationally specific form of religious knowledge. By breaking down and then reconstructing the ritualised assemblages that generated and sustained Roman religion this book makes the case for adopting a material approach to the study of ancient lived religion. | Reassembling Religion in Roman Italy
