Zusammenfassung:
This volume provides a new narrative account of the rise of Rome as an imperial force in the centuries before Julius Caesar and Augustus. It presents a new interpretation of the early Roman army, highlighting the fluid and family-driven character which is increasingly visible in the evidence. It draws on recent developments within the field of early Roman studies to argue that the emergence of Rome's empire in Italy should not be seen as the spread of a distinct 'Roman' people across Italian land, but rather the expansion of a social, political, and military network amongst the Italian people.
