“…I quartieri sono stati oggetto di approfondita analisi in contesti quali quello di Pompeii (Laurence 2007;Jones e Robinson 2007), della Roma Augustea (Bert Lott 2004), delle città mesoamericane di Teotihuacan e Tikal (Arnauld, Manzanilla e Smith 2012), dell'Anatolia (Catalhöyük) (Düring 2006) e della Mesopotamia, ad esempio Nippur (Stone 1987). Negli ultimi decenni gli studi archeologici hanno spostato la loro attenzione dall'elitario e monumentale alle vite quotidiane dei comuni abitanti della città.…”

ResumenEl estudio de los vecindarios y el uso social del espacio habitado son temas de interés creciente. Mediante la combinación de métodos arqueológicos y space syntax, este artículo ofrece nuevas formas de analizar el entorno físico de la vida cotidiana en las ciudades romanas. El examen detallado de dos bloques urbanos en Ostia (la ciudad portuaria de Roma en época imperial) nos ha permitido identificar espacios que fomentan la cohesión social y la vida en comunidad. El uso común de patios y pasillos en el Bloque IV ii sugiere un uso comunal continuado desde el siglo II hasta el siglo V d. C. En claro contraste con este sector, el Bloque IV iv no tiene espacios comunes y muestra edificios aislados con accesos individuales al espacio público. El Bloque IV ii disfruta de espacios compartidos dentro de su propio perímetro, mientras que el Bloque IV iv parece estar orientado por el interés de comunidades externas con actividades desarrolladas hacia la calle creando cierto aislamiento del bloque. Estos resultados muestran la flexibilidad de las estructuras urbanas romanas y nos permiten atisbar la actividad de comunidades que permitieron el desarrollo sostenible de la ciudad en procesos de larga duración.Palabras clave: Arqueología romana; Ostia; ciudades portuarias; space syntax; vecindarios urbanos; vida en comunidad. AbstRActNeighbourhoods and the social use of space are areas of growing interest. By combining archaeological methods and space syntax, the article offers new insights into the physical environment of daily life in the Roman city. The detailed examination of two city blocks from Ostia (Rome's imperial port-town), allows the authors to identify spaces which fostered social cohesion and community building. The shared courtyards and passage spaces of Block IV ii suggest continued community focus (2nd -5th centuries AD). In contrast, Block IV iv lacks common spaces and revealed self-contained buildings centred on individual access to public space. Block IV ii enjoyed shared spaces within its own perimeter, while Block IV iv looks toward external community building, with activities centred on the street confining the block. The results show the flexibility of Roman urban structures and allow for suggestive glimpses into the community that sustained the city in the long-term.

“…Similar questions concerning the importance of Rome's smaller local neighbourhoods ( vici ) in the lived experience and topography of the city have been thoroughly investigated in recent decades (Tarpin, 2002; Lott, 2004, 2013; Flower, 2018), but, one spatial and administrative notch up, the larger regions ( regiones ) remain relatively neglected. Strikingly, in a 2008 volume edited by Royo, Hubert and Bérenger, entitled Rome des Quartiers: des vici aux rioni , they received no dedicated chapter of their own, appearing only as context within discussions of vici or the development of the later ecclesiastical regiones and medieval rioni .…”

Scholarship on the fourteen Augustan regions of Rome has tended to focus on their political and topographical significance. As a result, evidence for their social meaning and their impact on the mindsets and practices of the city's administrators and rulers has been under-exploited. This article seeks to address this lacuna. It begins by reviewing the history of Rome's regions and asking how and where the boundaries of the Augustan regions were recorded, before moving on to consider the impact of the regions on the Romans’ understanding and experiences of their city. This includes examining the evidence for bottom-up social identification with the regions, despite their top-down original creation. The paper also looks at the administrators who worked with the regions (regional magistrates and the food, water and fire services), arguing that the conceptual framework which the regions provided began to shape their working practices. Finally, it demonstrates the existence of a rhetoric of consistent provision across all fourteen regions, propagated especially by the emperors. The findings across all of these areas reveal that it is essential to take the regions and their impact into account when attempting to understand the topography of the city and the lives of its inhabitants.
