Rezensionen
"A path-breaking collection of articles and a model ofcollaborative enterprise when it first appeared, SocialStruggles has long been essential reading for students andscholars alike of the Republic's early history. Itsre-publication in an expanded second edition is to be warmlywelcomed. Quite simply, it is the best introduction available inany language to the complexities of this poorly understood butcrucial period in Rome's rise to world power." NathanRosenstein, The Ohio State University
"Raaflaub's collection of essays has since its appearance been astandard work of reference and guide to the complexities of earlyRome. The alternative views expressed on key issues make this arich and rewarding account. Now updated, Social Struggles inAncient Rome will once again define the future course ofresearch in the field." Christopher J Smith, University of StAndrews
"Raaflaub's revised publication should continue tostimulate debate regarding Rome's social, political andreligious organization in the first centuries of theRepublic." Scholia Reviews
