Roman Roots of European Cities

Ancient Greco-Roman culture has shaped Europe in many ways. The Roman Empire expanded into regions that previously lacked urban culture - how and why did these cities emerge, and can we still see antiquity in them today?

The lecture series covers five major European cities:

22.10. Paris - the Celtic city
29.10. Cologne - Germany's oldest major city
5.11. Vienna - from Roman fortress to city
12.11. Budapest - a city at the edge of the Roman Empire
19.11. London - a multicultural capital even in Roman times
