The Eternal City of the seven hills has been an endless source and focus of creativity, spectacular archaeological discoveries, and innovative research. This series examines the history, culture and art of ancient Rome, from its origins to late antiquity, whilst offering a rich account of the existing literary, epigraphic and archaeological evidence. Recent discoveries, emerging debates and innovative methodological approaches, such as the impact of new digital technologies, as well as the influence of spatial and sensory studies on the study of ancient urbanism, also play an important part. The Elements are organised according to three major overarching themes: ‘Supporting the City’, focusing on infrastructures, engineering works, architecture and art; ‘Using and Managing the City’, focusing on human and animal activity, public rituals and institutions, domestic and everyday life, natural and unnatural disasters; and ‘Studying the City’, concerning modern receptions of ancient Rome, and the history of archaeological research.
