Ancient Rome: City Planning and Administration

Ancient Rome: City Planning and Administration by Robinson, O. F.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780415106184.

Rome was a huge city. Running it required not only public works and services but also specialised law. This innovative work traces the development of that law and system in the main areas of administration. The book incorporates and develops previous historical and topographical works by relating their findings to the Roman legal framework, building up a portrait of public administration, unusually comprehensive for the ancient world.
