German description: In diesem Band wird ein heute so aktuelles, fur die Antike aber bisher wenig behandeltes Thema in sehr verschiedenen Beitragen angegangen, in denen uber Art und Grad der Bewusstheit des antiken Menschen vom Einfluss des komplexen Phanomens Verkehr auf sein Leben und seinen Umgang damit reflektiert wird. Dabei geht es von der Bewaltigung der Ortsveranderungen von Mensch und Gut in den stadtischen Gegebenheiten uber die dadurch entstehenden zwischenmenschlichen Beruhrungen, die stadtebaulichen Planungen und Gesetzesregelungen bis hin zur politisch-bedeutungshaften Wirkung der Bewegung grosser Massen in stadtischen Raumen und deren entsprechende Gestaltung. |
