The Roman Villa. An Historical Introduction. The key to Roman civilization was urban life, but Rome's remarkable succes in implanting her culture in distant Barbarian provinces also depended on the villa. Drawing on the full range of literary and artics as well as archaeological evidence, this pioneering work charts the origins and development of these country houses and their estates; in particular, it examines the villa as an institution, as a social and economic unit and as a part of the life and history of the Roman world.
