Seeking to legitimate and ennoble their autonomy, they turned to ancient Rome for concrete and symbolic sources of identity. Each city-state appropriated classical symbols, ancient materials, and Roman myths to legitimate its regime as a logical successor to-or continuation of-Roman rule.-In Urban Legends, Carrie Benes illuminates this role of the classical past in the construction of late medieval Italian urban identity.
