‘A brilliant analysis of cultural change, by a historian with an unrivalled mastery of both the literary and the archaeological evidence.’PeterWiseman,EmeritusProfessorofAncientHistory,UniversityofExeter

The result is a brilliant new analysis of the cultural and social history, not only of later Republican Rome, but of its wider Italian setting.’FergusMillar,CamdenProfessorofAncientHistoryEmeritus,UniversityofOxford
