To be sure, the primary purpose of the Wall was always to protect the city of Rome both from external threats like barbarian incursions, but Dey teases out some other possible benefits of this project.

In the aftermath of violent civil unrest in caused by a rebellion of mint workers, the construction of the Wall provided paid employment "for thousands of potentially idle hands" p. Dey also links the building of the Aurelian Walls with the spread of other urban circuit walls in the western Roman provinces between the late third and fifth centuries, concluding that "[w]here once it had been forums, baths, and theaters that represented the essence of classical urbanism across the Roman world, it was now walls that did so. Less convincing is his inference that the heightening of the Wall under Honorius was somehow inspired by the celestial Jerusalem, described as a city with "a great and high wall" in the Apocalypse of John, and the concomitant influence of the Wall on depictions of Jerusalem in contemporary church decoration in Rome.

The second half of Dey's book concerns the impact of the Aurelian Wall on the civic infrastructures of Rome and suggests how it realigned the religious boundaries of the city and served as a symbol of temporal power long after the disappearance of the western empire. Chapter Four asserts that the building of the Wall provided a distinct boundary between urban and suburban space that stimulated new patterns of settlement within its confines and contributed substantially to the reform and realignment of the movement of food and people around the city.

Chapter Five argues that the Aurelian Wall replaced and enlarged the pomerium , the sacred boundary of the city of Rome demarcated by white stones inside of which it was forbidden to bury the dead. Dey certainly could have done more with this topic by including a digression on the history and meaning of the pomerium and some discussion of its etymology post moenium — "beyond the wall" — according to Livy I. This chapter also examines how the Wall divided Christian ecclesiastical districts and how by the Carolingian period the activity of Roman bishops like Paschal I dissolved the boundary-setting function of the pomerium by investing intramural churches with the bones of Christian saints that had previously been interred outside of the Wall.

Chapter Six considers the history of the Aurelian Wall between the reigns of Justinian and Charlemagne. It was only in the eighth and ninth centuries that the bishops of Rome turned their attention to the Wall in repeated campaigns of repair and rebuilding. Their initiatives were largely pragmatic, but Dey also sees in them a symbolic potency: At the end of the chapter, Dey carries the symbolic import of the Aurelian Wall even further — probably too far — by tethering it to the prominence of walls in poetic evocations of urban spaces in sources as disparate as the Old English elegy The Ruin and Alcuin's Versus de patribus, regibus et sanctis Euboricensis ecclesiae about his hometown of York.

Papal Power, Urban Renovation, Church Rebuilding and Relic Translation, Cambridge, or the earlier articles that were propedeutic to her monograph. In many places, it demands a certain amount of generosity on the part of the reader, as several of its claims are based almost entirely on inference or conjecture. Qualifying phrases like "[h]ard data in support of these hypotheses are hard to come by" p. This allows Dey to establish dates and then to interpret them in the light of textual evidence and history. In the early fifth century, also a time of barbarian threats, the emperor Honorius augmented the Wall in order to protect the city against invaders, and included Christian decorative motifs as a way of making a statement about Christian imperial authority.

By contrast to the first two cases, the time of Charlemagne was a period of relative peace and prosperity in Italy; nevertheless, Popes Hadrian I and Leo III also made major restorations to the Wall. Some parts of the book are necessarily speculative. In addition to describing the Wall, Dey seeks to understand why it took the path that it did, and how its construction affected life in and around Rome, on the level of economics, communication, and government control.
