“…In some areas, most notably in the area (2) now occupied by the Azienda Ospedaliera San Giovanni -Addolorata, this work exposed fundamental errors in reports published by previous excavators. There it allows the formulation of new hypotheses on the incorporation of private properties in the imperial domain and on their transformations until the 4th century AD (Ravasi et al 2020). Assisting the analytical process by generating digital clones of the archaeology repeatedly proved invaluable in understanding structural transformations, especially in underground spaces where a comprehensive viewing of coeval structures is often made impossible by later interventions.…”

Roman Urbanism in Italy

Situating Rome within wider debates on Classical Urbanism is notoriously challenging. It cannot be ignored; the city was the point of reference for a civilization built on urban centres. Rome's resilient power to absorb, adapt and re-present itself underpinned its longevity. Yet while this rightly ensures Rome has a profound significance in discussions of the Classical and Late Antique city, the pulse that sustained the urbs Roma aeterna was also very much its own. No urban centre in the Mediterranean world could match its sustained dynamism, and as Purcell (2007) observed in his discussion of the horti of peri-urban Rome, the drivers that underpinned its evolution were often particular to the circumstances of the city itself. The European Research Council-funded 'Rome Transformed' Project https://research.ncl.ac.uk/rometrans/ (grant agreement No. 835271, Haynes et al. 2020;2021; seeks to understand better this dynamism and its implications, through detailed study of a neighbourhood on the periphery of the Late Republican city, outside Rome's pomerium, which went on to become the centre of western Christendom for a millennium. The project's focus is on the eastern Caelian, and most particularly, on the eight formative centuries that ran from the Principate of Augustus to the Pontificate of Leo III. This paper concentrates on the first four of those centuries.Before proceeding, we would argue that the word 'transformation' needs to be reclaimed. In one of the biggest debates in the study of Classical Urbanism, discussion of the 'end' of ancient cities, the term has become baggage laden. For some, notably Ward-Perkins (2005, 4) it is too neutral to apply to what befell Rome and her empire. While for others, amongst them participants in the European Science Foundation's wide ranging 'Transformation of the Roman World Project' (https://brill.com/display/serial/TRW), it seems the best term to cover a raft of

“…Fieldwork can never really be usefully distinguished from the essential analysis of data that derives from it, much of which is of course, undertaken off-site. A great deal of significant progress in our understanding of sites has been made through the continued interrogation of TLS data during this year, with a notable highlight being the important work by Thea Ravasi on the SGL2 fieldwork project (Haynes et al, 2019; Ravasi et al, 2020) documentation which is now also feeding into the wider ROMETRANS effort. Of great interest in its own right, this work has also played an essential role in testing and the development of the ROMETRANS SCIEDOC system.…”
