Extract

This survey article — the first in a new series to be published in the Journal of Roman Studies — is an attempt to review developments in the study of the city of Rome since 1980: a decade which can reasonably be seen as one of the most exciting in this field for a century, in terms not only of the archaeological discoveries and other related research taking place in Rome itself, but also of the increasing integration of the topographical and monumental history of the city of Rome into what might be termed ‘mainstream’ Roman history.

8 For example: the involvement of the British School at Rome in the excavation of the S. Maria Antiqua site in the Forum; the Finnish Institute at the Lacus Juturnae; the Institutes of Denmark, Norway and Sweden at the Temple of Castor and Pollux; the American Academy at the Regia; the École Française at the Vigna Barberini, and the Swiss Institute at the Domus Tiberiana. It is striking, however, that most recent work on the city of Rome by British scholars has been primarily historical in character.

Balland argues that greater emphasis is given to the Romulan associations of the Capitol in this period because Augustus' other initiatives in the city appeared to diminish the prestige of Jupiter Capitolinus: the importance attached to the Capitoline hut of Romulus can thus be seen as making up for its diminished prestige in other respects.
