Rome was the most accomplished urban form of Mediterranean antiquity. Due to its remarkable and complex urban continuity, it remained the version of a way of living that other cities aspired to achieve throughout the early Middle Ages. Yet Rome between 400 and 1050 is often only studied as an idea that inspired imaginations, or for the papacy’s role in cultural transmission across Europe.
This volume drastically refocuses our attention on Rome’s inhabitants, their identities, relationships, institutions, experiences, agencies, and spaces, and on how these local aspects interacted with the city’s universal character. It also bridges two periods of Rome that are typically separated, namely late antiquity and the early Middle Ages. Through collaborative authorship of thematic essays, it integrates Anglophone discourses and approaches to Rome by scholars from Italian as well as other European traditions.

Caroline Goodson, Ph.D. (2004), Columbia University, is Professor of Early Medieval History at the University of Cambridge and, from 2024, is the Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Humanities at the American Academy in Rome. She trained as an archaeologist and works at the intersections between material evidence, field archaeology, and early medieval history, with particular interests in urbanism and environmental history. Her latest book, Cultivating the City in Early Medieval Italy (CUP, 2021), combined these interests. Julia Hillner, Ph.D. (2001), University of Bonn, is Professor of Ancient History at the University of Bonn and previously held a chair in medieval history at the University of Sheffield. She specializes in the social history of late antiquity, especially the family and the household, crime and punishment, gender and women, and the city of Rome. She is the author of Jedes Haus ist eine Stadt: Privatimmobilien im spätantiken Rom (Habelt, 2004), Prison, Punishment and Penance in Late Antiquity (CUP, 2015), and Helena Augusta: Mother of the Empire (OUP, 2023).
