Summary

This is the first book to arise from aninterdisciplinary initiative, the RomanMediterranean Ports project, which seeks a holisticunderstanding of early Imperial ports by addressinga range of key questions relating to theircharacter, organization and roles.1 Thegeographical centrality of the Mediterranean to theRoman Empire, which was without precedent and hasnot been matched subsequently, helped enable itspolitical integrity for well over 400 years. By theearly first century AD, Rome had come to dominateall of the shores surrounding the Mediterranean,transforming its constituent seas into a uniquemaritime space. Interconnected commercial networkscriss-crossed its many islands and micro-regions,enabling provincial communities to maintain intensecommercial relationships with Rome at the centre ofthe mare nostrum,although debates continue to rage over their scaleand the nature of theirorganization.2
