The impact of economic life on space and movement within Roman cities is a subject that has received limited attention in the scholarly literature. However, by examining the Roman urban landscapes, we can gain valuable insights into the nature of the Roman economy. In this comprehensive volume, an international team of archaeologists and historians explores the intricate relationship between economic activities and the spatial organization of Roman Imperial cities in Italy and the provinces, both east and west.

By employing a diverse range of material and written evidence, as well as various methodologies, the contributors shed new light on both well-known and less-explored sites. Their focus on the everyday economic uses of urban spaces and the movements through them offers a fresh and innovative perspective on the workings of Roman urban economies and the ongoing debates surrounding space in the Roman world.

This volume is of significant interest to archaeologists, historians, and scholars in various fields, including those studying the Greco-Roman world, urban economic space in other periods and places, and premodern urbanism and urban economies. The insights and methodologies presented in this volume will contribute to our understanding of the complex and multifaceted nature of ancient urban societies.
