Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book explores the topography of the Roman Forum, focusing on the Graecostadium, a previously mysterious structure identified here as the Athenaeum, a Greek gymnasium introduced to Rome by Emperor Hadrian. The author, an expert in Roman history, uses ancient texts and archaeological evidence to locate the Graecostadium within the Forum and argues that its name refers to its stadium, the most prominent feature of a gymnasium. The author also discusses other nearby structures such as the Hemicycle, the Rostra, and the Comitium, elucidating their architectural features, historical significance, and the evolution of their functions over time. This book provides valuable insights into the physical and social landscape of the Roman Forum, enhancing our understanding of this iconic site and the vibrant life that once unfolded within its boundaries. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
