“…This landscape-as-history approach reveals much about the empire's reach, administrative strategies, and cultural impact [69]. The ruins of Roman buildings, temples, and amphitheaters across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East showcase Roman architectural styles and construction techniques, indicating the extent of Roman cultural influence [70]. The remains of villas, baths, gardens, and theaters in distant provinces demonstrate the spread of Roman lifestyle and leisure practices [33].…”

This study explores how cultural landscapes serve as dynamic interfaces between human societies and their environments, reflecting intricate interactions shaped by historical and societal changes. Cultural landscapes, embodying both tangible heritage (e.g., architecture, gardens, and urban spaces) and intangible heritage (e.g., traditions and practices), act as living archives that document the evolution of cultural identities and environmental care. Through the lens of historical analysis and case studies, including that of the legacy of the Roman Empire, this research examines the transformative impacts of political, economic, social, and cultural shifts on these landscapes. Methods include a comparative analysis of historical data and contemporary landscape assessments, used to understand how these spaces adapt to and reflect societal changes. The findings highlight the importance of preserving cultural landscapes for their educational and aesthetic value, ecological sustainability, and their role in maintaining historical continuity. The study underscores the need for integrating historical insights into contemporary landscape preservation and urban design to keep these spaces relevant for future generations. This research contributes to our understanding of the deep-seated connection between past civilizations and modern cultural identities through the stewardship of cultural landscapes.
