Une ville bien conçue vaut mieux, pour la sécurité et la paix de l''Empire, que deux camps militaires... César savait qu''une Cité ne doit pas être seulement un centre commercial, politique et religieux, mais aussi et surtout un endroit où les gens ont envie de vivre. Les architectes des centaines de villes romaines fondées entre 300 av. J.-C. et 150 ap. J.-C. ont été guidés par cette idée. Comme eux, David Macaulay s''en est inspiré pour dessiner les plans de Verbonia et faire revivre l''effort des hommes et les techniques qui donnèrent, voici 2000 ans, naissance aux villes nouvelles des bâtisseurs romains.
