The Impact of Mobility and Migration in the Roman Empire
Proceedings of the Twelfth Workshop of the International Network Impact of Empire (Rome, June 17-19, 2015)
Series: - Impact of Empire, Volume: 22
Following on previous workshops of the Impact of Empire network which looked at frontiers (Impact 9), integration (Impact 10) and the world(s) beyond the borders of the Roman empire (Impact 11), the twelfth meeting of the network focused on movement within the Roman world. The Impact of Mobility and Migration in the Roman Empire assembles a series of papers on key themes in the study of Roman mobility and migration. It discusses legal frameworks, the mobility of the army (both at war and in peace-time), ethnic identity, the mobility of women, the mobility of senators, diplomatic mobility, war-induced mobility, and deportations. The papers vary in geographical scope, ranging from empire-wide approaches to reconstructions of patterns at particular sites. It employs a rich variety of sources, ranging from classical authors to documentary papyri, from legal sources to shipwrecks.

"Without doubt, this collection of papers is a success and its editors as well as those of the series are to be commended. [...] Lo Cascio and Tacoma have curated a fine collection of papers painting a remarkable picture of human movement in the Roman world." - Eric E. Poehler, in: Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2017.10.28
"En conclusion, les éditeurs de ce volume offrent au lecteur de précieuses mises au point sur le thème de la mobilité, processus dynamique et multiforme, selon des angles dâapproche certes distincts, mais qui enrichissent les débats et ouvrent de nombreuses perspectives. En effet, la lecture des travaux récents sur le thème de la mobilité édités ou rédigés par L. E. Tacoma, pour ne citer que cet exemple, permet de voir lâévolution des réponses aux interrogations suscitées par cette thématique et lâapparition de nouveaux questionnements entre chaque publication. Toute la richesse de cet ouvrage, dont la lecture est stimulante à plus dâun titre, est dâouvrir des champs de recherche novateurs pour une problématique sous les feux de lâactualité." - Anthony Ãlvarez Melero, in: L'Antiquité Classique 89, 2020
