L'Urbanisme des villes romaines de Transpadane.

This detailed study of archaeological and historical data reveals for the first time the urban aspects of one of the richest regions in the Italian peninsula. It presents us with an image of a veritable laboratory of Rome in her advance northwards, as the development solutions adopted in each of the fourteen towns are different. From Caesar to the fall of the Western Empire, this volume examines each of the urban centres in the region - each one treated as an individual study - provides an innovative comparative synthesis, monument by monument and urban sector by urban sector, and presents the most important bibliography ever compiled on the subject forthe chapter on each town.
