• catalog abstract "This is an account of the turbulent centuries in which the forces of Rome subdued the peoples of Italy, incorporated their aristocracies, and created, by the end of the first century BC, a unified Italian state of Roman citizens. At the time of the Second Punic War, when Hannibal descended from the Alps, Italy consisted of several ancient settlements and peoples - among them the Gauls in the north, the Etruscans in the centre, the Greeks on the southern coasts and in Sicily and the indigenous Phoenicians in Sardinia. The Romans themselves occupied little more than one-tenth of what is now modern Italy. The process by which these people were incorporated into the Roman polity was violent and effective. The state that Augustus inherited was not only the largest in the ancient world but efficiently ordered and administered from the Roman centre. The author describes the dramatic change in the Roman economy and polity during the period. He also examines the causes and consequences of the massive changes in population that took place, including the effects of the enslavement and importation of large numbers of detected rebels (including, for example, over one million Gauls). This is an outstanding history of the formative years of Roman power. It is concisely and clearly written and takes full account of recent scholarship and archaeological discoveries in Italy.".
