| Summary |
"This book focuses on urbanisation and state formation in middle Tyrrhenian Italy during the first millennium BC by analyzing settlement organisation and territorial patterns in Rome and Latium vetus from the Bronze Age to the Archaic Era. In contrast with the traditional diffusionist view, which holds that the idea of the city was introduced to the West via Greek and Phoenician colonists from the more developed Near East, this book demonstrates important local developments towards higher complexity, dating to at least the beginning of the Early Iron Age, if not earlier. By adopting a multidisciplinary and multitheoretical framework, this book overcomes the old debate between exogenous and endogenous by suggesting a network approach that sees Mediterranean urbanisation as the product of reciprocal catalyzing actions"-- Provided by publisher |
