The Roman city. The Roman city Roman cities, like their modern counterparts, could vary enormously in size and appearance, from the huge urban conglomerates of Rome, Alexandria and Carthage to small centres in provinces such as Britain and Morocco.
Many cities and towns had pre-Roman origins, especially in the urbanised eastern Mediterranean and in Italy. But in Britain, Gaul and other provinces, urban centres were often either founded by Rome or stimulated into growth by the imperial presence. These settlements often began as military camps, or as colonies of settlers and soldiers deliberately planted by Rome in strategically important sites. Whatever their origins, towns were the backbone of the empire and shared a basic group of functions that were vital to the empire's organisation and administration. Youth Orchestra LA.
