Rome's Mediterranean Ports (ROMP)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2014, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2019,
Rome was connected to its Mediterranean provinces by commercial routes articulated through networks of ports acting as poly-functional nodes. Ships, people and goods moved along these, drawing the micro-regions of the Mediterranean into closer economic and commercial relationships with the City. Central to the success of these networks were the major ports through which were channelled major comme ...
