The significance of such boundaries was mediated by specific cultural        rules. Besides physical boundaries, such as city walls and gates, also        immaterial ones, such as the pomerium, demarcated an urban        context. Certain civic boundaries were highly visible and relevant to        everyone, while others were important to only a small number of people.        This book takes a new approach to Roman urban boundaries and city        planning by exploring the dynamics and interaction between urban        development processes, city limits and the law. As a result, Roman        attitudes towards the symbolic meanings of civic boundaries can be        better understood. Not only landownership influenced and determined the        use of urban space and its boundaries; also conflicts and constant        negotiations between law, culture and tradition, politics, and the        dynamics of everyday urban life were important for the way the Romans        approached urban limits.","brand":"Peeters Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49546309960023,"sku":"9789042933057","price":79.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/city-boundaries-and-urban-development-in-roman-italy-9789042933057","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
