The Afterlife of the Roman City Architecture and Ceremony in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages In this groundbreaking book, Hendrik W. Dey offers a fresh and compelling perspective on the evolution of cities across the Roman Empire in late antiquity and the early Middle Ages (third to ninth centuries AD). The author challenges the traditional view that the decline of the Roman Empire led to the downfall of its cities, instead arguing that the persistence of monumental architectural structures and ceremonial rituals in these urban centers was due to the tenacious inclination of kings, emperors, caliphs, and their subordinates to display their power and glory before crowds of city dwellers. This innovative approach selectively integrates urban topography with the actors who continuously strove to bring these spaces to life for centuries, highlighting the significance of communal leaders' efforts to maintain and embellish these grandiose urban itineraries. The book reveals how the narrow yet grand processional ways in which parades and solemn public appearances unfolded played a crucial role in shaping the afterlife of the Roman city architecture.
