Specifications
In this study, the settlement complex of Strongyli in Arta is approached not as an isolated archaeological remnant, but as a complex field for the historical, social and cultural interpretation of the Roman world. The combined use of archaeological, historical, geoarchaeological and theoretical evidence makes it possible to examine the processes of Romanisation, forms of regional organisation, the dynamics of the rural economy and the power relations that shaped Epirus from the 1st to the 4th century AD.
The rural villa at Strongyli, with its residential, bathing and production facilities, emerges as a microcosm of late Roman society, where architecture, technology, production and symbolic representation are woven together into a unified system of social legitimation and economic activity. The book goes beyond a descriptive presentation of the finds to offer a critical reading of the Roman countryside, illuminating the dialectical relationship between centre and periphery, city and rural space, and local practices and imperial models.
At the same time, analysis of selected material evidence—pottery, oil lamps, coins and sculptural representations—highlights the role of objects as carriers of memory, ideology and cultural identity. Based on archaeological and historical evidence, this publication reveals the complexity of the Roman periphery and sheds light on the processes of social, economic and cultural restructuring that characterised the world of Late Antiquity.
