Rzymski hortus jako jeden z symboli miasta nad Tybrem. Krajobraz sepulkralny w przestrzeniach Rzymu od IV w. p.n.e. do I w. n.e.

Abstract

The land and its cultivation had an important place in the minds and hearts of people living on the Tiber. As Roman culture developed, there evolved a tradition of building tombs which were to serve the living rather than the dead. This led to a widespread practice of designing “sepulchral landscapes” which became a fixed feature of Rome’s architectural space. Thus the necropolises gained a new function, becoming vibrant parks which offered an ideal locus amoenus
