Cities in the ancient world relied on private generosity to provide many basic amenities, as well as expecting leading citizens to pay for 'bread and circuses' - free food and public entertainment. This collection of essays by leading scholars from the UK and USA explores the important phenomenon of benefaction and public patronage in Roman Italy.Ranging from the late republican period to the later Roman Empire, the contributions cover a wide range of topics, including the impact of benefactions and benefactors on the urban development of Roman Italy, on cultural and economic activity, and on the changing role of games and festivals in Roman society. They also explore the relationship between communities and their benefactors, whether these were local notables, senators, or the emperor himself, and examine how the nature of benefaction changed under the Empire.

In the late Iron Age, Rome was a small collection of huts arranged over a few hills. By the third century BC, it had become a large and powerful city, with monumental temples, public buildings and grand houses. It had conquered the whole of Italy and was poised to establish an empire. But how did it accomplish this historic transformation? This book explores the development of Rome during this period, and the nature of its control over Italy, considering why and how the Romans achieved this spectacular dominance. For Rome was only one of a number of emerging centres of power during this period. From its complex forms of government, to its innovative connections with other states, Kathryn Lomas shows what set Rome apart. Examining the context and impact of the city's dominance, as well as the key political, social and economic changes it engendered, this is crucial reading for anyone interested in Ancient Rome.

This collection of original essays focuses upon Roman Italy where, with over 400 cities, urbanization was at the very centre of Italian civilization. Informed by an awareness of the social and anthropological issues of recent research, these contributions explore not only questions of urban origins, interaction with the countryside and economic function, but also the social use of space within the city and the nature of the development process.; These studies are aimed not only at ancient historians and classical archaeologists, but are directed towards those working in the related fields of urban studies in the Mediterranean world and elsewhere and upon the general theory of towns and complex societies.

Souverän und facettenreich schildert Kathryn Lomas die römische Geschichte von den allerersten Anfängen bis zum Beginn der Punischen Kriege. Glänzend gelingt es ihr, diese Geschichte in ihrer Besonderheit verständlich zu machen, und sie gibt überraschende Antworten auf die historische Frage aller Fragen: Wie und warum gelang einer kleinen Stadt der erstaunliche, in keiner Weise vorgezeichnete Aufstieg zur Weltmacht?In der späten Eisenzeit war Rom eine kleine Ansammlung von Hütten auf einigen Hügeln am Tiber. Im 3. Jahrhundert v. Chr. war es bereits eine große and mächtige Stadt mit monumentalen Tempeln und öffentlichen Gebäuden. Rom hatte ganz Italien erobert, schickte sich an, ein Weltreich zu errichten. Aber wie und mit welchen Mitteln gelang den Römern diese weltgeschichtlich bedeutsame Leistung? Wie verwandelte sich eine Ansammlung von Dörfern in eine Weltstadt? Kathryn Lomas schildert die Geschichte und Entwicklung Roms von den mythischen Anfängen bis zu dem Beginn der Kriege mit Karthago, zeigt, wie die Römer ihre Herrschaft errichteten und wie sie Italien sich unterwarfen. Rom unterschied sich in wichtigen Punkten von seinen Nachbarn, zumal in den neuartigen Beziehungen zu anderen Staaten. Auf beeindruckende Weise gelingt es der Autorin, die Welt der Römer und ihrer Nachbarn in allen Facetten darzustellen (Politik, Gesellschaft, Wirtschaft und Militär). Das ebenso differenzierte wie lebensnahe Panorama einer der aufregendsten Epochen der Weltgeschichte, die bis in unsere Gegenwart nachwirkt.»Lomas'' klare Sprache und ihr brandaktuelles archäologisches Wissen sind genau die richtige Kombination, um die faszinierende Geschichte des Aufstiegs Roms zur Weltmacht zu beleuchten.«Christopher Smith, St Andrews

The Greek colonies of the Western Mediterranean were central to the evolution of many aspects of Greek culture and in many cases developed an identity which was significantly different from that of mainland Greece and the Aegean. This volume seeks to explore aspects of the cultural identity of these colonies and how it evolved. It covers the colonial foundations in Italy, Sicily, Southern France, Spain and North Africa, and ranges from the 8th century BC to the early Roman empire. Topics covered include the ethnic identity of the earliest colonial foundations, the evolution of Greek states in the West, the Greeks' perceptions of their own identity and ways of representing it, and the role of the indigenous populations in the evolution of Western Greek culture.
