Building Midrepublican Rome Offers A Holistic Treatment Of The Development Of The Midrepublican City From 396 To 168 Bce. As Romans Established Imperial Control Over Italy And Beyond, The City Itself Radically Transformed From An Ambitious Central Italian Settlement Into The Capital Of The Mediterranean World. Seth Bernard Describes This Transformation In Terms Of Both New Urban Architecture, Much Of It Unprecedented In Form And Extent, And New Socioeconomic Structures, Including Slavery, Coinage, And Marketexchange. These Physical And Historical Developments Were Closely Linked: Building The Republican City Was Expensive, And Meeting Such Costs Had Significant Implications For Urban Society. Building Midrepublican Rome Brings Both Architectural And Socioeconomic Developments Into A Single Account Of Urban Change. Bernard, A Specialist In The Period'S History And Archaeology, Assembles A Wide Array Of Evidence, From Literary Sources To Coins, Epigraphy, And Especially Archaeological Remains, Revealing The Period'S Importance For The Decline Of The Roman State'S Reliance On Obligation And Dependency And The Rise Of Slavery And An Urban Labor Market. This Narrative Is Told Through An Investigation Of The Evolving Institutional Frameworks Shaping The Organization Of Public Construction. A Quantitative Model Of The Costs Of The Republican City Walls Reconstructs Their Economic Impact. A New Account Of Building Technology In The Period Allows For A Better Understanding Of The Social And Demographic Profile Of The City'S Builders. Building Midrepublican Rome Thus Provides An Innovative Synthesis Of A Major Western City'S Spatial And Historical Aspects, Shedding Muchneeded Light On A Seminal Period In Rome'S Development.
