The paper reconstitutes the genesis of Rome’s morphological structuration at its early stage, using the main concepts of urban morphogenesis structural theory. It shows how the spatial organisation of the Roman conurbation is embedded in an abstract spatial structure, i.e. a threshold configuration encapsulating symbolic meanings clearly perceived by the people and generated by political appropriation trajectories. At the intersection between multiple social forces and concrete built forms, an abstract morphological term plays a mediating role. It categorises space in distinct structural positions.
