The Social War, 91 to 88 BCE (eBook, ePUB)

A History of the Italian Insurgency against the Roman Republic

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Ancient sources preserve scant information about the conflict, but the Social War is widely recognised as having been immensely important in the unification of Roman Italy. In response to the conflicting accounts and contradictory interpretations of modern scholarship, this book provides a new, comprehensive reassessment of the events surrounding the Social War, analysing the immediate context of the conflict as well as its causes, legacy, and role in reshaping Roman and Italian identity.
