The Routledge Handbook of the Archaeology of Urbanism in Italy in the Age of Roman Expansion explores trends in urbanism across Italy in the period when Rome extended its power across the entire peninsula Sicily Sardinia and Corsica. Chapters present the most up-to-date archaeological data in the first broad and detailed treatment of this topic superseding traditional academic particularism. They present a significant re-evaluation of the process of Roman imperialism and the role of urbanization within it. Particular attention is paid to evidence for local agency in different regions and at different sites but general trends are also highlighted. Various types of urban sites are examined including Indigenous urban centers that pre-date Romeās conquest colonies both Greek and Roman small centers in the hinterlands of larger urban entities and the symbiotic relationship between urban centers and their rural territories. This volume challenges the existence of a standardized āRoman modelā imposed on Romeās vanquished enemies through conquest and highlights that this was a period of intense experimentation. Archaeological data are used to challenge traditional text-based historiographic models and reveal the complex interplay and tensions between Roman imperial control local and regional traditions and broader Mediterranean trends. This book is of importance to archaeologists and ancient historians working on urbanism and Roman Imperialism as well as those interested in early urbanism in the Western Mediterranean and Europe and the comparative study of imperialism and colonialism across geographical areas and historical periods.
