Abstract
War and the walls of Rome from the age of the kings to the early imperial age War was certainly one of the most powerful influences in determining the urban form of ancient Rome.The urban landscapes in the vicinity of the ancient city wall, especially the pomerium and the triumphal processional route, reveal the extent to which the layout of ancient Rome was conditioned by the ideology of war. By the time of Augustus the walls, by then in ruins, must have been perceived as monuments to restored peace after a century of bloody civil warsI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
