Town and Country

About

Produced by the BBC for the British Open University

Studies the Roman Empire's urbanization pattern, developed by Augustus, which depended both on the colonization of towns to secure peace in the surrounding countryside and on the development of roads to link the farmlands and towns with Rome. Uses archaeological evidence to reconstruct the interdependent life of the towns and the prosperous country, focusing on the town of Cosa and the local villa Sette Finestre, and on the town of Lucas Feroniae and the nearby villa of the Volusii. From the Ancient Rome series
