Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a fresh perspective on the ancient topography of Rome, challenging the widely held belief that the city's massive Aurelian walls were constructed under Arcadius and Honorius. The author meticulously examines historical sources and archaeological evidence to demonstrate that these walls, commonly attributed to the 5th century, were in fact built by Emperor Aurelian in the 3rd century. The book also offers new insights into the actual location of Rome's ancient naval facilities, the Navalia, which have long been erroneously placed on the opposite bank of the Tiber River. Through a thorough analysis of historical texts and architectural remains, the author reveals the true site of the Navalia in Trastevere, providing a significant contribution to our understanding of this important aspect of ancient Roman infrastructure.
