  • Summary

    For this work, settlements from Latium vetus and southern Etruria from the end of the Bronze Age to the end of the Archaic Period have been considered. These sites are very well known and documented thanks to a long tradition of studies that goes back to the first topographic studies conducted within the tradition of the aristocratic grand tours of Rome and the Roman countryside during the 18th century. British and German aristocrats, fascinated by the possibility of interacting and getting closer to ancient authors through the contemplation and study, were the first to produce catalogues and descriptions of the monuments and environment of the so-called Campagna Romana, including both the immediate surroundings of Rome and the southern Etruscan region, respectively, to the south and north of the Tiber river.1 Subsequently this early activity of survey and documentation was continued by the antiquarian tradition of the late 19th to early 20th century2 and the more recent landscape and topographic traditions before3 and after World War II, by both Italian4 and international scholars.5

  • Summary

    Some years ago, the ‘Copenhagen Polis Centre’ project debated the essence of the ancient Greek city and produced an inventory of all ancient Greek cities in Archaic and Classical times, within a wider comparative perspective of emerging urban societies from different parts of the world and different chronological settings. More recently the ‘Reception of the City in Late Antiquity’ European Research Council funded project at the University of Cambridge, re-examined the impact of the ancient Greco-Roman city on subsequent urban history in Europe and the Islamic world, investigating both urban fabric and urban ideals.
