Abstract

Roman rule signalled radical changes in the urban systems of the Mediterranean. More complex is the understanding of the restructuring that occurred in the Greek speaking lands, where a dense network of poleis existed already since the Archaic period. In the province of Achaia, although the basic elements of its Classical past were maintained (e.g., a modular urban system with hundreds of self-governing poleis which were sustained mainly by surpluses produced in their territories), in the Roman period this area was characterized by a significantly smaller number of cities and rural sites, in respect to pre-Roman times. Of great importance was the establishment of a few highly-centralized administrative centres of free or colonial status and economically privileged, that now became the focus of Roman administration and wealth. The majority of minor centres had from now on a marginal role, and many of them remained completely outside the new economic system.
《罗马西西里岛的城市主义与帝国》
罗马的统治标志着地中海城市体系的根本变化。更复杂的是对发生在讲希腊语的土地上的重组的理解,在那里,密集的城邦网络自古代时期就已经存在。在亚该亚省,尽管其古典历史的基本元素被保留了下来(例如,由数百个自治城邦组成的模块化城市系统,主要靠其领土上的剩余生产来维持),但在罗马时期,该地区的特点是,与前罗马时代相比,城市和农村的数量要少得多。重要的是建立了几个高度集中的行政中心,这些中心具有自由或殖民地地位,经济上享有特权,现在成为罗马行政和财富的焦点。大多数小中心从此起了边缘作用,其中许多中心完全处于新的经济制度之外。
