| Summary |
This work provides a synthesis of recent research on villas and villa landscapes in the northern provinces of the Roman world. Topics that will be discussed include the economic basis of landscapes dominated by villas, rural slavery, urban rural dynamics, the role of monumental tombs in villa landscapes, self-representation and the lifestyle of villa owners. The book offers an original, multi-dimensional perspective on the social, economic and cultural functions of villas in the Roman Empire. |
