Project title
Landscape Reclamation and the Pontine Marshes
Project description
My work will critically analyze the reclamation of the Pontine Marshes landscape in relation to Rome’s urbanization over time. The research will pursue archival records to ask: How was reclamation of the Marshes regarded from the time of Pliny to the modern era? How was it represented? What is the relevance for reclamation today?
