Buch, Hardcover, The Aventine-one of Rome's canonical seven hills-has long been identified as the city's plebeian district, which housed the lower orders of society and served as the political headquarters, religious citadel, and social bastion of those seeking radical reform of the Republican constitution. Lisa Marie Mignone's The Republican Aventine and Rome's Social Order challenges the plebeian-Aventine paradigm through a multidisciplinary review of the ancient evidence, and it demonstrates that this construct proves to be a modern creation. Mignone uses ancient literary accounts, material evidence, and legal and semantic developments to reconstruct and reexamine the history of the Aventine Hill. Through comparative studies of premodern urban planning and development, combined with an assessment of gang violence and ancient neighborhood practices in the last half of the first century BCE, the book argues there was no concentration of the disadvantaged in a "plebeian ghetto." Thus residency patterns everywhere in the caput mundi, including the Aventine Hill, likely incorporated the full spectrum of Roman society. Yet the myth of the "plebeian Aventine" became embedded not only in classical scholarship, but also in modern political and cultural consciousness, and it has even been used by modern figures to support their political agenda. The Republican Aventine and Rome's Social Order makes bold new claims regarding the urban design and social history of ancient Rome and raises a significant question about ancient urbanism and social stability more generally.
