Early Roman urbanism in its Italian context
This chapter traces the early phase of Roman urban history in the context of broader developments on the Italian peninsula and in the Mediterranean. It first discusses the early urban development of the city of Rome itself in the first half of the first millennium BCE, with attention for similar developments in Tyrrhenian Italy. It then sketches how increasing social complexity led to urban development elsewhere in Italy, and how this ongoing process of urbanization in Italy becomes intertwined with Roman expansion. Thus, it is argued, multiple urban traditions on the Italian peninsula contributed to the formation of what we now call “Roman urbanism”.
