"Combining material and written sources provides an epistemological frame essential for grasping the constantly transforming social interactions as well as the historical significances of spaces within ancient cities, and this observation is especially true for the Eternal City. This recent volume edited by Maria Letizia Caldelli and Cecilia Ricci is dedicated to the public spaces of Rome as the mechanism that encouraged social interactions in the first three centuries of the Principate. The volume is the first of the newly established series “RomeScapes. Social and Cultural Topographies of the City of Rome” (Edizioni Quasar), which is aimed at promoting studies on peripheral and heterogenous aspects of city culture that have so far received limited scholarly attention" (dalla recensione in Bryn Mawr Classical Review -leggi la recensione-)
