Abstract

The present paper aims to investigate prevention systems to avoid the effects of disastrous events and subsequent reconstruction methods of urban and suburban spaces following catastrophic events such as flooding. Archaeological evidence and textual sources reveal the attention and awareness in ancient Roman society for these unpredictable events. For this purpose, some cities, whose planning has been greatly affected by the presence of particularly overflowing watercourses, are taken as case studies. The idea is to promote an investigation into the efficacy or ineffectiveness of those systems, encouraging a discussion of what is still happening today.

Ziel dieser Studie ist die Untersuchung von Präventionssystemen zur Vermeidung der Auswirkungen von Katastrophenereignissen und der anschließenden Wiederaufbaumethoden von städtischen und vorstädtischen Räumen nach Katastrophenereignissen wie Überschwemmungen. Archäologische Funde und Textquellen zeigen, dass die römische Gesellschaft diesen unvorhersehbaren Ereignissen große Aufmerksamkeit schenkte und sich ihrer bewusst war. Zu diesem Zweck werden einige Städte als Fallbeispiele herangezogen, deren Planung durch das Vorhandensein von besonders über die Ufer getretenen Fließgewässern stark beeinträchtigt wurde. Sie sollen dazu anregen, sich mit der Wirksamkeit oder Unwirksamkeit dieser Systeme auseinanderzusetzen und eine Diskussion darüber anzuregen, was heute noch geschieht.
