The focus of this book will be on actors and actions in public urban spaces. Cities
in the ancient world much like in the modern era were not simply a locus for population
and a hub for social cultural and economic activity but were themselves the products
of urban practices. This volume draws together two often disparate fields "urban space
and human practice" to explore the actors and actions that underpinned ancient cities
and to offer unique insights into the lives of those who dwelt there. Placing particular
emphasis on social practice theory the contributions gathered together in this book
seek to analyse the development of the city especially public urban spaces from the
archaic period up to Roman Imperial times. A key focus is on infrastructure public
spaces used for politics (particularly the Forum Romanum and the role of sanctuaries
and the way in which they were shaped by cult activity. Through this unique approach
this volume is able for the first time to bring the inhabitants of ancient cities
to the fore and in doing so to offer key insights into the development of spatial
routines the interaction of these routines with the material setting of a city and
the way in which cities themselves played an important role in shaping the people
and practices within them
