This book brings together an international team of scholars to re-evaluate Roman-period architecture outside Rome and the Italian Peninsula, looking at the regions that formed part of the Roman Empire over a broad time frame: from the 2nd century BCE to the 3rd century CE. Moving beyond traditional views of 'Roman provincial architecture', they highlight the multi-faceted features of these architectures, their function, impact and significance within the local cultures, and the dynamic discourse between periphery and centre. Architecture is intended in the broad sense of the term, encompassing the buildings' technological components as well as their ornamental and epigraphic apparatuses. The geographic framework under examination is a broad one: along with well-documented areas of the ancient Mediterranean, attention is also paid to the territories of north-west Europe. The discussion throughout the volume focuses on three interrelated themes models, agency, and reception. The broader scope of these essays gives a reinvigorated impetus to the scholarly debate on the role and influence of ancient architectures beyond the centre of Empire. The book has a strong interdisciplinary character, reflecting the authors' diverse expertise in the fields of archaeology, architecture, ancient history, art and architectural history. AUTHOR: Niccolo Mugnai is a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellow at the Faculty of Classics, University of Oxford. He held postdoctoral fellowships at the British School at Rome and at the University of Leicester, where he completed his doctorate in 2016. His main research interests are Greco-Roman architecture, urbanism, and the archaeology of the Roman provinces.
