The impact of mobility and migration in the Roman Empire proceedings of the Twelfth Workshop of the International Network Impact of Empire : (Rome, June 17-19, 2015)

Product Description The Impact of Mobility and Migration in the Roman Empire assembles a series of papers on key themes of Roman mobility and migration, discussing i.a. the mobility of the army, of the elite, of women, and war-induced mobility and deportations. Review "Without doubt, this collection of papers is a success and its editors as well as those of the series are to be commended. [...] Lo Cascio and Tacoma have curated a fine collection of papers painting a remarkable picture of human movement in the Roman world." - Eric E. Poehler, in: Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2017.10.28 "En conclusion, les éditeurs de ce volume offrent au lecteur de précieuses mises au point sur le thème de la mobilité, processus dynamique et multiforme, selon des angles d'approche certes distincts, mais qui enrichissent les débats et ouvrent de nombreuses perspectives. En effet, la lecture des travaux récents sur le thème de la mobilité édités ou rédigés par L. E. Tacoma, pour ne citer que cet exemple, permet de voir l'évolution des réponses aux interrogations suscitées par cette thématique et l'apparition de nouveaux questionnements entre chaque publication. Toute la richesse de cet ouvrage, dont la lecture est stimulante à plus d'un titre, est d'ouvrir des champs de recherche novateurs pour une problématique sous les feux de l'actualité." - Anthony Álvarez Melero, in: L'Antiquité Classique 89, 2020 About the Author Elio Lo Cascio is Professor of Roman history at Sapienza Università di Roma.
