Over eight centuries, from the principate of Augustus to the pontificate of Leo III, the eastern Caelian and its environs went from being on the margins of the imperial city to becoming the centre of papal power. This volume is the first to examine the multiple changes and innovations that marked the area's evolution from a classical to a late antique city. It brings together findings from the Rome Transformed Project alongside contributions from other specialist collaborators to illuminate and contextualise evidence of political, religious, military, and economic life. Drawing on archival, archaeological, environmental, and geophysical analyses produced for Rome Transformed, this book shows that far from being peripheral to the story of the city, this area-much of which lay beyond the pomerium-was shaped by influential episodes of lavish investment and remarkable creativity. The built landscape of south-east Rome was not simply reshaped by new ideas about power, belief, and security; it became a formative place where such ideas were generated, interwoven, and promoted. Exploring these ideas is not simply a matter of studying imperial intervention; it also involves deepening our understanding of the lives of the diverse people who lived here. Making extensive use of the 'provocation' visualisations created by the Rome Transformed Project, this volume invites us to reflect on the buildings and spaces encountered by successive generations of inhabitants and visitors in their daily lives. The Rome Transformed Project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under H2020-EU.1.1., the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (Grant agreement No.: 835271)

Based on research from the Rome Transformed Project, this volume examines how the eastern Caelian and its environs transitioned from being on the margins of the imperial city to the centre of papal power, revealing how political, religious, and social forces reshaped south-east Rome into a dynamic landscape of innovation, power, and daily life.

Paolo Liverani is Professor of Topography of Ancient Italy and Head of the Department of History, Archaeology, Geography, Fine and Performing Arts at the University of Florence. He is also a former Curator of Classical Antiquities at the Vatican Museums. Paolos research focuses on the topography of ancient Rome, Latium, and Etruria; Roman state art; polychromy in Roman sculpture; and the history of Romes archaeological collections and museums.













Thea Ravasi is an archaeologist specialising in Roman architecture, urbanism, and trade. Her recent research explores imperial architecture by refining the distinctions between early- to mid-imperial and late antique, as well as Roman traditional and early Christian building practices. This work unfolds across three interrelated strands: the role of thermal and baptismal architecture in the West; the economy of imperial construction and procurement; and the design and spatial organisation of imperial court spaces.













Gianluca Foschi is a researcher specialising in advanced digital approaches to the archaeology of the Late Antique Mediterranean. In addition to Rome, he has worked extensively on Hagia Sophia in Istanbul and S. Apollinare in Classe near Ravenna. Gianlucas research integrates digital modelling, acoustic analysis, historiography, and landscape studies to develop original, interdisciplinary approaches to how the ancient built environment shaped power, perception, and memory.
