Moving beyond traditional views of 'Roman provincial architecture', they highlight the multi-faceted features of these architectures, their function, impact and significance within the local cultures, and the dynamic discourse between periphery and centre.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eArchitecture is intended in the broad sense of the term, encompassing the buildings' technological components as well as their ornamental and epigraphic apparatuses. The geographic framework under examination is a broad one: along with well-documented areas of the ancient Mediterranean, attention is also paid to the territories of north-west Europe. The discussion throughout the volume focuses on three interrelated themes - models, agency, and reception. The broader scope of these essays gives a reinvigorated impetus to the scholarly debate on the role and influence of ancient architectures beyond the centre of Empire. The book has a strong interdisciplinary character, reflecting the authors' diverse expertise in the fields of archaeology, architecture, ancient history, art and architectural history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Niccolò Mugnai\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1789259940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789259940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxbow Books Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/18\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Niccolò Mugnai","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47965320446207,"sku":"9781789259940","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a7135459-0c4b-473a-9014-8ade329e4e08.jpg?v=1767279761","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/architectures-of-the-roman-world-niccolze-mugnai-9781789259940","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
