In its fashionable focus on society’s experience of space [<i>The Moving Cit</i>y] is a product of its time. It is an enjoyable read, successfully presenting a picture ‘of a bustling, lively society, where cityscape and movements are closely interactive and entwined’.

Classics For All Reviews

The range of papers and topics within this coherent volume is impressive and should interest a similarly wide range of researchers, as well as providing useful material for undergraduate classes on subjects as diverse as Augustan poetry, late Republican politics, the supply of Rome and early Christian Rome.

Journal of Roman Studies

A well-thought out, versatile and inspiring study on "movement in the city".

Impressively show[s] the manifold possibilities and opportunities that lie in the connections between space and performance.

H-Soz-Kult (Bloomsbury Translation)

The monuments of ancient Rome, rooted in time and place, impress us with their calm stolidity. This rich collection of essays successfully reminds us that they were the backdrop to a city in permanent motion – from the stately processions of ambassadors and empresses, to the regular ebb and flow of traffic on the Tiber, and to the chaos of a rampaging crowd.

- Bryan Ward-Perkins, University of Oxford, UK,

Particularly noteworthy are the contributions of A. Corbeill, C.H.Lange, M. Andrews and G. Lønstrup Dal Santo, each of which illuminates movements in the physical, mental and/or literary space of Rome.

Historische Zeitschrift (Bloomsbury Translation)

The Moving City: Processions, Passages and Promenades in Ancient Rome focusses on movements in the ancient city of Rome, exploring the interaction between people and monuments. Representing a novel approach to the Roman cityscape and culture, and reflecting the shift away from the traditional study of single monuments into broader analyses of context and space, the volume reveals both how movement adds to our understanding of ancient society, and how the movement of people and goods shaped urban development.Covering a wide range of people, places, sources, and times, the volume includes a survey of Republican, imperial, and late antique movement, triumphal processions of conquering generals, seditious, violent movement of riots and rebellion, religious processions and rituals and the everyday movements of individual strolls or household errands. By way of its longue durée, dense location and the variety of available sources, the city of ancient Rome offers a unique possibility to study movements as expressions of power, ritual, writing, communication, mentalities, trade, and – also as a result of a massed populace – violent outbreaks and attempts to keep order. The emerging picture is of a bustling, lively society, where cityscape and movements are closely interactive and entwined.
