The late Roman City: Beautiful temples, vast Fora, more impressive and splendorous than even what many modern cities have to offer, a beautiful architectural style, lots of statues everywhere, often even coated with gold, an incredible amount of classical art, many people walking through the streets, busy shop owners, rich aristocrats, then the huge baths, meeting place for thousands of people, unmatched in their grandiosity, then giant libraries, gargantuan theaters and amphitheaters. In short, when we think of the late Roman City, we think of the more positive aspects of roman life back then. But was everything really so nice in late antiquity? Was the late roman city really as beautiful as our sometimes romantisized glasses through which we see ancient roman history, would want to make us believe?
