In this volume, Diane Favro and Fikret Yegül offer a comprehensive history and analysis of the Roman built environment, emphasizing design and planning aspects of buildings and streetscapes. They explore the dynamic evolution and dissemination of architectural ideas, showing how local influences and technologies were incorporated across the vast Roman territory.

Based on decades of first-hand examinations of ancient sites throughout the Roman world, from Britain to Syria, the authors give close accounts of many sites no longer extant or accessible. Written in a lively and accessible manner, Roman Architecture and Urbanism affirms the enduring attractions of Roman buildings and environments and their relevance to a global view of architecture.

Fikret Yegül is Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Trained as an architect and architectural historian, he has extensive field experience in archaeology, notably as a long-term member of Harvard's Sardis Excavation. Yegül is completing a major publication on the Temple of Artemis. Among his other books is Baths and Bathing in Classical Antiquity (1996), which received the prestigious Alice Davies Hitchcock award from the Society of Architectural Historians.
Diane Favro is Professor Emerita, Department of Architecture and Urban Design, University of California, Los Angeles. Author of the influential book The Urban Image of Augustan Rome (1998), she has pioneered research applications of virtual reality digital reconstructions with Rome Reborn (1993), the Digital Roman Forum (2002), and Digital Karnak (2007). She was Director of the University of California, Los Angeles Experiential Technologies Center, President of the Society of Architectural Historians, and the Samuel H. Kress Professor at the National Gallery.
The Urban Image of Augustan Rome examines the idea and experience of the ancient city at a critical moment, when Rome became an Imperial capital. Lacking dignity, unity, and a clear image during the Republic, the urban image of Rome became focused only when the state came under the control of Augustus, the first emperor, who transformed the city physically and conceptually. Intervening in an ad hoc manner, he repaired existing public structures, added numerous new monuments, established municipal offices for urban care, and promoted an enduring aesthetic. Directed by a single vision, the cumulative results were forceful and unified. This book explores for the first time the motives for urban intervention, methods for implementation and the socio-political context of the Augustan period, as well as broader design issues such as formal urban strategies and definitions of urban imagery.
