Studies in Roman Space and Urbanism
Series editor: Ray Laurence, Macquarie University, Australia
Over the course of the last two decades the study of urban space in the Roman world has progressed rapidly with new analytical techniques, many drawn from other disciplines such as architecture and urban studies, being applied in the archaeological and literary study of Roman cities. These dynamically interdisciplinary approaches are at the centre of this series. The series includes both micro-level analyses of interior spaces as well as macro-level studies of Roman cities (and potentially also wider spatial landscapes outside the city walls). The series encourages collaboration and debate between specialists from a wide range of study beyond the core disciplines of ancient history, archaeology, and Classics such as art history and architecture, geography and landscape studies, and urban studies. Ultimately the series provides a forum for scholars to explore new ideas about space in the Roman city.

  1. vii
At the University of Michigan, where I submitted the dissertation on which this book is based, I received expert guidance from the members of my committee: Sara Forsdyke, Ian Moyer, and Chris Ratt. I am especially grateful to my committee chair, Ray Van Dam, for his unfailing encouragement and good advice.
During my research trips to Turkey, Bert Smith, Sabine Ladsttter, Philip Niewhner, and Nick Cahill were kind enough to talk with me about recent work at their sites. In the years since, Maria Aurenhammer, Alexander Herda, Nicole High-Steskal, and Martin Steskal have graciously answered questions about archaeological particulars. Christopher Dickenson sent me a copy of his dissertation, and Christoph Baier and Arjan Zuiderhoek e-mailed recently published articles.
Not all debts, of course, are academic. My family my grandparents, my siblings, and above all my parents have made everything I do possible. I can never thank them enough.
1.1 The colonnaded main avenue of Perge. The remains in the center belonged to an ornamental water channel.
1.2 The remains of the colonnaded avenue of Termessos, with statue bases visible on both sides.
