这本汇编汇集了新翻译的原始资料，揭示了古罗马人对别墅方方面面的态度，从选址、建造活动到日常管理和生活体验。虽然“别墅”

一词如今已是泛指，但它的含义却涵盖了古罗马生活的方方面面：别墅为城镇提供食物、石油和葡萄酒，并为手工艺和建筑业提供原材料。别墅也是享乐、放松、培养友谊和修心养性的场所。许多别墅以其壮丽的景色、建筑、装饰和陈设而闻名。它们在古罗马统治欧洲和地中海地区的乡村中无处不在。本书汇集了大量新翻译的拉丁文和古希腊文资料——论文、书信、诗歌、历史、传记和其他文学作品——生动地展现了古罗马别墅的建筑、经济、社会、政治和文化意义，从其希腊起源到早期基督教时期。专题章节揭示了古罗马人对别墅建筑、农业经营、购买、建造和装饰别墅以及在别墅内娱乐和休闲的习俗的态度。书中对家庭、两性关系以及奴隶生活的提及，旨在（尽管只是间接地）展现别墅内丰富的体验。本书附有丰富的注释、详尽的注解、详尽的参考书目和词汇表，这本资料书为学者和学生提供了进一步研究的平台，也使其成为一本引人入胜的读物。

This authoritative compendium of newly translated primary sources reveals ancient Roman attitudes on every aspect of villas, from selection of place and construction activities to day-to-day management and lived experiences.

While the term villa is generic today, its meaning extended across the entirety of ancient Roman life: villas supplied food, oil, and wine to towns and cities and produced raw materials for craft industries and building construction. Villas were also venues for pleasure, relaxation, and the cultivation of friendships and the mind. Many were known for their spectacular sites, architecture, decoration, and furnishings. They came to be ubiquitous throughout ancient Rome's European and Mediterranean rural hegemony.

This volume compiles a wealth of newly translated Latin and ancient Greek sources—treatises, letters, poems, histories, biographies, and other works of literary art—to vividly convey the architectural, economic, social, political, and cultural significance of ancient Roman villas, from their Greek antecedents through the early Christian period. Thematic chapters reveal ancient Roman attitudes on villa architecture, agricultural operations, and the practices of buying, building, and decorating villas as well as entertaining and pursuing leisure there. References to family, gender relations, and the lives of enslaved persons aim to situate, if only indirectly, a broad range of experiences within villas. Supplemented by generous commentaries, copious annotation, a comprehensive bibliography, and a glossary, this definitive sourcebook equips scholars and students alike for further research and makes for fascinating reading.
