A Community in Transition. Rome between Hannibal and the Gracchi Edited by Mattia Balbo and Federico Santangelo, 2023

Demographic growth together with an inflow of wealth, much of it spent on public buildings or on public décor, were the driving forces behind an intense building activity contracted by censors and aediles that recreated the urban centre, the forum with the commercial buildings nearby, streets, sewers and the river port.
Single aspects of this phenomenon and its consequences on the urban fabric have been investigated: its suddeness, the cultural impact, and the social and demographic one.
The view from the Tiber proposed in this paper is a perspective for a critical reappraisal of the dossier of this defining period, because while the general picture is quite clear, the details (literary sources, archaeology, recent topographical debates) are much more complicated.
The focus is on the port infrastructure in general - from the Aventine plain up to the Circus Flaminius riverfront- and on the Navalia question in particular. The identification of the huge Testaccio building, which has lately become the most hyphenated monument of ancient Rome (Navalia – “porticus Aemilia” – Horrea), is of no little consequence for trying to understand the port system of Republican Rome and its growth.

The authors summarize recent analysis on the fragments of the Severan marble plan focusing particularly on cathodoluminescence
(CL) microscopy and stable isotopes (Minerals 2021; 11(12):1400). Some of the consequences of the results on some reconstructions
of the fragments are briefly discussed.

The ambiguous status of the Forma Vrbis as a documentary source should not prevent other potentials for research and knowledge: among these, the area of the city shown is of great interest, which, particularly on the northern and southern sides, corresponds to the growth of the Vespasian city and recalls a precedent of the Severan plan on the same wall of the Aula del templum Pacis.

The author agrees with Fred S. Kleiner identification of the monument depicted in RIC II, 572 is an arch at the entrance of the Area
Capitolina and argues that the remains of a monumental inscription found around 1830 in the Forum area originally belonged to it.

A particular attention is given to the porticus on the river front: a subject that provides the opportunity to tackle briefly the question of the Navalia and the porticus Aemilia.

They offer some insight into how this much discussed work was undertaken by Giovanni Battista Nolli, under the supervision of Alessandro Gregorio Capponi and Revillas. Specifically, Revillas’ documents throw new light on the way the scale reduction of the Forma Urbis was (incorrectly) figured out.
