Abstract

The article discusses a book titled "Urban Space between the Roman Age and Late Antiquity: Continuity, Discontinuity and Changes" edited by A. Cortese and G. Fioratto. The book contains seven chapters that explore the transformations of urban space in the Roman and post-Roman Mediterranean. The chapters focus on various regions, including Anatolia, Aquileia, Halicarnassus, Priene, Cilicia, Isauria, Georgia, Abkhazia, and Palmyra. The book presents a perspective that Late Antiquity was a time of renewal and transformation rather than decline, although some chapters suggest urban decline or abandonment. The book provides valuable case studies for researchers interested in late antique urbanism. [Extracted from the article]
