The relevance of these contributions to the study of regional urban systems across the Roman world is demonstrated not only by the authors' discussions, but also by the wealth of analytic data, tables, catalogues and appendices supplementing many of these texts. Undoubtedly, the volume provides new information that will be of use to anyone working on the urbanism, economic and socio-political history of the Roman Empire, striking a good balance between archaeological and ancient historical standpoints. - Niccolo Mugnai, University of Oxford, Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 2021.01.29.
