Description

A Companion to Roman Italy investigates the impact of Rome in all its forms—political, cultural, social, and economic—upon Italy’s various regions, as well as the extent to which unification occurred as Rome became the capital of Italy.

  • The collection presents new archaeological data relating to the sites of Roman Italy
  • Contributions discuss new theories of how to understand cultural change in the Italian peninsula
  • Combines detailed case-studies of particular sites with wider-ranging thematic chapters
  • Leading contributors not only make accessible the most recent work on Roman Italy, but also offer fresh insight on long standing debates
