Tabernae' were ubiquitous in all Roman cities, lining the busiest streets and dominating
their most crowded intersections in numbers far exceeding those of any other form
of building. That they played a vital role in the operation of the city, and indeed
in the very definition of urbanization in ancient Rome, is a point too often under-appreciated
in Roman studies, and one which bears fruitful further exploration. 'The Roman Retail
Revolution' offers a thorough investigation into the social and economic worlds of
the Roman shop, focusing on food and drink outlets in particular. Combining critical
analysis of both archaeological material and textual sources, it challenges many of
the conventional ideas about the place of retailing in the Roman city and unravels
the historical development of tabernae to identify three major waves or revolutions
in the shaping of retail landscapes. The volume is underpinned by two new and important
bodies of evidence: the first generated from the University of Cincinnati's recent
archaeological excavations into a Pompeian neighborhood of close to twenty shop-fronts,
and the second resulting from a field-survey of the retail landscapes of more than
a hundred cities from across the Roman world. The richness of this information, combined
with the volume's interdisciplinary approach to the lives of the Roman sub-elite,
results in a refreshingly original look at the history of retailing and urbanism in
the Roman world
