Book News Annotation:

The cities of late antiquity get most of the attention today, as no doubt they did in their own time, so archaeologists and historians mostly from Europe, but also the US and Israel, beyond and between the walls, first grappling with the task of defining and identifying countryside. Among their concerns are economic and social life, sacred landscapes, villas, rural monasteries, change from Gaul to the Balkans, and a recent rural survey in Turkey and adjacent regions. The 16 studies are from two conference, in Oxford and Paris, during 2002. Distributed by Aspen.
