Abstract	:	The thesis outlines a systematic approach for the study of Narbonne. Chapter one presents a methodological analysis for an understanding of the city in Late Antiquity, formulating a tripartite distinction of territorial space on different planes of meaning: nature, containing references to geography and geology; custom, that incorporates meanings derived from archaeology, production and exchange; finally authority, that addresses educated texts of law, religion and power. This categorization is developed in chapters two to six. Chapter two examines the natural, geological evolution of Narbonne, together with the foundational descriptions of the city from Orosius, Hydatius, Olympiodorus and Philostorgius.
