Dedicated to Russell Meiggs, this volume offers some significant reassessments of views on Rome's major port, based on recent excavation and research. It follows the fortunes of the city from the archaic period through to it imperial nadir. Town planning is an important theme in this book, as is the city of Rome's relationship to the sea. 4 papers in English, 11 in Italian, 1 in French and 1 in Spanish.
