and reusing the monumental past in the late antique Mediterranean West, 300-600
"In (Re)using Ruins, Douglas Underwood presents a new account of the use and reuse
of Roman urban public monuments in a crucial period of transition, A.D. 300-600. Commonly
seen as a period of uniform decline for public building, especially in the western
half of the Mediterranean, (Re)using Ruins shows a vibrant, yet variable, history
for these structures. Douglas Underwood establishes a broad catalogue of archaeological
evidence (supplemented with epigraphic and literary testimony) for the construction,
maintenance, abandonment and reuses of baths, aqueducts, theatres, amphitheatres and
circuses in Italy, southern Gaul, Spain, and North Africa, demonstrating that the
driving force behind the changes to public buildings was largely a combined shift
in urban ideologies and euergetistic practices in Late Antique cities."
