Review
`Every visitor to Rome with an interest in antiquity should carry this book in their luggage' - Rechtsgeschichte
From the Back Cover
Rome was a huge city. Running it required not only public works but also specialised law. This innovative book traces the development and application of that law in the main areas of administration. The book incorporates and develops previous historical and topographical works by relating their findings to the Roman legal framework, building up a portrait of public administration which is unusually comprehensive for the ancient world. Ancient Rome: City Planning and Administration will be of considerable interest toRoman lawyers, historians and archaeologists, as well as those concerned with the working of local government in general.
