Nicola Terrenato (Ann Arbor University of Michigan)

The Early Roman Expansion into Italy

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The book presents a radical new interpretation of Roman expansion in Italy. Argues that the process was achieved by means of a grand bargain among local elites rather than through military conquest. Using archaeological, epigraphic, and historical evidence, it reconstructs the family interactions that tied together Italian aristocrats to form a new state.
