Abstract

In this paper we reflect on the theme of changing city-hinterland relations on the basis of recent research carried out within the long-running Pontine Region Project. We discuss new evidence on the impact of Rome’s expansion on a specific part of the Pontine region, the so-called Pontine Marshes, an inhospitable area that was rendered suitable for habitation and exploitation through substantial infrastructural works, land reclamations and settlement foundations. We argue that these data show the fundamental yet heterogeneous impact of Roman expansion on town-country-relations.
