The author discusses material signs of the birth of the city in Latium. First, there is a critical examination of the notion of 'proto-urbanisation' and the methods used by its partisans to determine the '(proto-)urban' character of Latial settlements of the Early Iron Age. Second, it is argued that the rise of urban communities in the region is signalled by the appearance during the 8th century of centres protected by powerful earthen ramparts, the aggeres, and vice versa - that every centre thus protected was originally an urban community.
