Römerstädte in neuem Licht - Das Leben in Augusta Raurica und Aquincum

Back to the survey literature

(German: Title means "Roman cities from new viewpoint - the living in Augusta Raurica and Aquincum")

This book makes an interesting approach. Different points of the mentioned cities are compared:

bulletCity planning
bulletLiving space
bulletmarket - economy 
bulletReligion
bulletDead cult

With this comparisons it's possible to get a good idea of former circumstances in the provinces. It surprises always, that a lot of things were similar in spite of the great distance.

Next to the comments out of different authors the book is provided with illustrations plenty. As a further special feature it is written in two languages - German and Hungarian.

I can recommend the book.
