This book explores how Roman perceptions of streets influenced their decisions about where to place urban buildings. Using textual evidence as well as the physical evidence from Pompeii, Ostia, Silchester, and Emp#65533;ries, Alan Kaiser argues that ideals about the arrangement of space united the phenomenon of Roman urbanism.
