Abstract

Concrete is regarded as a quintessentially Roman achievement. The spread of the technology is usually dated to the fourth or third centuries b.c., and interpreted as a symptom of Rome's early expansion in Italy. In this paper I offer a reappraisal of the available evidence for early concrete construction in Rome. On the basis of stratigraphic evidence, I conclude that a later date should be assigned to most of the remains. I situate the origins of the technological innovation within the radical change in architectural styles that unfolded in the middle of the second century b.c., affecting both domestic architecture and public building. The new chronology has an impact on current models of cultural diffusion in Roman Italy, linking the development of Late Republican architecture with the broader debate on the cultural implications of the Roman conquest.

This article is part of a broader, ongoing research project in which I investigate a crucial aspect of Roman Republican archaeology, the origins of concrete architecture. The content is based on the results of my PhD dissertation, as revised during post-doctoral work carried out at the University of Michigan, Kelsey Museum of Archaeology (MCubed Project: Architectural Revolutions from the Roman Empire to the Digital Age). The Institut für Klassische Archäologie at the Freie Universität Berlin provided useful resources to complete the final editing. I would like to thank particularly Nic Terrenato, Chris Ratté, Lynne Lancaster, Mario Torelli and Monika Trümper for their continued interest in this project. The comments of two anonymous readers were much appreciated, and helped me improve the final version. Any inconsistencies or mistakes are mine.
