an extraordinary view of the

ancient city, the experiences of its inhabitants,

and the Roman way of life. Exploring ancient

Rome as both a physical and social environ-

ment, he has written the first extended survey

of its development in English—and a vivid

“guidebook into the living past of one of the

most emphatically urban cities the world has

ever known.”

tioning city. Stambaugh conveys a remarkable

sense of the details and texture of daily exis-

tence—of apartment houses and street vendors,

taverns and graffiti, water deliverymen and dry

cleaners. Focusing on individuals and groups at

he also considers the ways in which the physical

city reflected and influenced the needs, aspira-

with examinations of such specific topics as city

government, public services, religion, com-

merce, demography, housing, social life, and

public spectacle. Surveys of Cosa, Pompeii,

Ostia, Arelate, and Thamugadi chart the expan-

sion of Roman urbanism through the empire.

The text is enhanced by numerous illustra-

tions—-site and building plans, drawings, and

photographs.

For the newcomer to ancient Rome, there is

no better orientation. For the person already

familiar with the Eternal City’ cultural riches

or with its modern manifestation, The Ancient

Roman City provides a deeper appreciation

of Rome’ physical monuments and social

foundations.

John E. Stambaugh is professor of classics

at Williams College. He is the coauthor (with

David L. Balch) of The New Testament in Its

Social Environment.
