English summary: This volume deals with a topic that has influenced much current research, but which has rarely been applied to Classical times - the complex phenomenon of "transport" and "traffic." Varied essays reflect on the manner and to what degree people in antiquity were consciously influenced by transport in their everyday lives, and how they reacted to it. The essays focus on the management of the spatial transport of people and goods within the urban environment and the interpersonal contacts these transactions involved, as well as on urban planning, legal regulation and the political significance of the movement of big crowds within urban areas. German description: In diesem Band wird ein heute so aktuelles, fur die Antike aber bisher wenig behandeltes Thema in sehr verschiedenen Beitragen angegangen, in denen uber Art und Grad der Bewusstheit des antiken Menschen vom Einfluss des komplexen Phanomens Verkehr auf sein Leben und seinen Umgang damit reflektiert wird. Dabei geht es von der Bewaltigung der Ortsveranderungen von Mensch und Gut in den stadtischen Gegebenheiten uber die dadurch entstehenden zwischenmenschlichen Beruhrungen, die stadtebaulichen Planungen und Gesetzesregelungen bis hin zur politisch-bedeutungshaften Wirkung der Bewegung grosser Massen in stadtischen Raumen und deren entsprechende Gestaltung.
