Between Satricum and Antium' presents a study carried out by the
Groningen Institute of Archaeology of the territories of two ancient
settlements, both situated in the coastal landscape of ancient Latium on
the Thyrrhenian seaboard, ca. 60 km south of Rome. Starting with the
earliest traces of human presence in the Palaeolithic, the book deals in
depth with the settlement dynamics in the area from the Middle Bronze
age to the medieval period. Systematic archaeological surveys, studies
of existing site inventories and relevant artefact studies are all
combined in this well-illustrated volume that provides a detailed
account of the appearance of the first permanent dwellings during the
Bronze and Iron Ages, of the rise of Archaic and Roman rural and
maritime settlement and of the gradual process towards incastellamento
during the Middle Ages.
