Mobility And Migrations Within The Roman Empire Territory: Types And Intentions In The High Empire

Abstract

The present work aims at studying the predicament of the diverse types of migrations and movements of people who developed in the high roman empire (31 b.C – 235 a.C), the motives that drove these migratory flows and trying to present a typology of twelve forms of the migratory phenomenon within the roman empire territory. I argue, indeed, in great relevance, that the History of the ancient Rome can provide some illustrations and comparative study cases for a major and better understanding of the present.

Keywords: Migrations, mobility, travels, foreigners, citizens, family, cities.
