Império e escravização no mundo romano
Esta resposta ao artigo de Joly e Knust revisita os conceitos gêmeos de zona de escravização/ não-escravização de Jeffrey Fynn-Paul, que os autores utilizam para estruturar sua interessante proposta de abordagem à escravidão mediterrânica antiga pela perspectiva da História Global. Será retomada brevemente a gênese do conceito de zona de (não-)escravização e seu desenvolvimento. Em seguida, será feita uma breve apreciação de como esse modelo pode…
The Urban Dimensions of Mountain Society in Late-First Millennium bc Italy
The mountain communities of late-first millennium bc Italy have been regarded as non-urban societies that reverted to city life mainly owing to Roman intervention. A growing body of archaeological evidence is uncovering the diversity of settlement forms and dynamics in the region's pre-Roman past, which included sites encompassing a range of functions and social agents. This article presents an in-depth, microscale analysis of one such site, Mont…
A expansão romana vista das margens
As discussões sobre o imperialismo romano vêm se atendo aos primeiros momentos desse processo, na Itália dos séculos IV e III a.e.c. Devido à natureza fragmentária das fontes, é difícil entender como o começo da expansão romana foi percebido pelos agentes históricos envolvidos, especialmente por aqueles que vivenciaram o lado mais brutal do processo. Entre esses estavam as comunidades semiurbanizadas das montanhas da Itália central, chamadas impr…
Na periferia do urbanismo mediterrâneo antigo
É discutível em que medida as regiões não-urbanizadas do mundo antigo desenvolveram formas de organização socioeconômica e política que divergiam daquelas em contextos de cidades-estados). Este artigo aborda essa questão a partir de um foco na região do Sânio, nas montanhas da Itália central, que desde a antiguidade é considerada uma periferia do urbanismo mediterrâneo. Segundo reconstruções modernas, nos quatro últimos séculos a.C., o sistema de…

Old habits die hard
This article discusses how International Relations theory can contribute to our understanding of Roman hegemony, by examining Samnite responses to the early Roman expansion in view of Jervis’s concept of misperception in international politics. While Rome was arguably the hegemonic power in Italy by 272 BC, Samnite polities continued treating Rome as just another player, not as an overwhelming game-changer, until the Hannibalic war. This apparent…
The Agency of the Displaced? Roman Expansion, Environmental Forces, and the Occupation of Marginal Landscapes in Ancient Italy
This article approaches the agency of displaced people through material evidence from the distant past. It seeks to construct a narrative of displacement where the key players include human as well as non-human agents—namely, the environment into which people move, and the socio-political and environmental context of displacement. Our case-study from ancient Italy involves potentially marginalized people who moved into agriculturally challenging …
Poder popular e expansão da república romana, 200-150 a.C
Foi durante a república (509-27 a.C.) que Roma transformou-se de cidade em império. Ao longo desse mesmo período, movimentos sociais em Roma levaram a um crescente envolvimento popular na política. Em que medida a hegemonia romana foi o resultado da agência política das massas? Este artigo discute o poder popular na República Média (c. 250-150 a.C.) e em que medida ele teria modelado a nascente hegemonia romana. Iniciaremos com uma apreciação do …
Identidade étnica na Itália antiga (séculos IV-I a.C.)
Os relatos antigos sobre o início da expansão romana na Itália (séculos V-I a.C.) mencionam vários “grupos étnicos” (ethne; populi) que \ncruzaram o caminho da república em expansão. No entanto, as narrativas em questão são no mínimo 200 anos posteriores ao período \nque descrevem. Em que medida os “povos” da Itália pré-romana existiram como tais? O presente artigo aborda essa questão por meio \nde uma discussão dos diferentes aspectos da identid…
The Roman Intervention
This chapter draws on ancient historical writing to explore the process of Roman intervention in Samnium. Roman intervention began with the so-called ‘Samnite wars’ that lasted from c.343 to 290 BC. In resisting the Roman advance the communities of Samnium were more successful than many of their neighbours. This is suggested by the numerous triumphs that the Romans were compelled to celebrate upon defeating them, as well as by the accounts of how…
Settlement and Society between the Fourth Century BC and the Social War
From the moment they emerge in the historical record, the communities of Samnium are described as an ethnos that both acts and is treated as a cohesive political entity, unlike the autonomous city-states that predominated in Tyrrhenian Italy, Campania, and Apulia. This chapter contributes towards an alternative view of socio-political development in Samnium in the last four centuries bc, one that effectively moves beyond assumptions about the ‘pr…
Moulding Cultural Change
This article demonstrates how a contextual approach to material culture can help us think about the link between Roman hegemony and cultural change in Republican Italy. It does this by focusing on a particular set of artefacts — anatomical votive terracottas — that have been seen to indicate the spread of Roman and/or Latin culture in central Italy. Although the use of anatomical terracottas may have begun in the vicinity of Rome, communities in …
Ancient Samnium
This book explores the region of Samnium in central Italy, where a rich blend of historical, literary, epigraphic, numismatic, and archaeological evidence supports a fresh perspective on the complexity and dynamism of a part of the ancient Mediterranean that is normally regarded as marginal. This volume presents new ways of looking at ancient Italian communities that did not leave written accounts about themselves but played a key role in the dev…
Repensando a Romanização
Entre os séculos IV e II a. C., Roma derrotou diversas comunidades na península italiana e confiscou suas terras, nas quais fundou um grande número de colônias. As fontes escritas nos informam sobre as guerras e batalhas travadas nesse período, mas dizem muito pouco sobre os acertos políticos, administrativos e socioeconômicos entre Roma e as comunidades italianas. O objetivo deste artigo é discutir os tipos de contato e interações sociais que se…

Building Communities in Ancient Samnium
This article addresses the meaning of community in an area of the ancient world that is normally seen to diverge from the paradigm of the C lassical city‐state, by examining the role of sanctuaries in the articulation of identity and belonging. The focus is on S amnium (central I taly) in the last four centuries BC , where archaeological and historical evidence, including a wealth of recent discoveries, supports a dynamic view of a region that is…
Gender and Ritual in Ancient Italy
Minerva
Minerva (Etruscan Menrua ) was an Italian goddess chiefly associated with arts and handicrafts, as well as with martial prowess and medicine.
Religion, Italic
Italic religion comprises the religious beliefs and practices of Italic communities, which in ancient literature are referred to as “Sabines,” “Samnites,” “Latins,” “Picenes,” “Umbrians,” “Campanians,” “Lucanians,” “Veneti,” and “Messapians.” Despite its distinctive features, Italic religion shares important traits with other religions of the ancient Mediterranean, such as Greek and Etruscan.
Ver Sacrum
We read of the ritual of the “Ver Sacrum” (Sacred Spring) in connection with archaic and Hellenistic Italy.
Mars
A major Italian deity, Mars (Oscan Mamers/Mamars , Etruscan Maris ) was associated with warfare, agriculture, and animal husbandry. Together with Jupiter and Quirinus, Mars formed a central triad in Roman and Italic religion, and was regarded as the protector of Roman territory. He became identified with the Greek Ares, also a war god. The main priests of Mars in Rome were the flamen Martialis and the Salii, and sacrifices offered to him usually …
Mercurius
Mercurius was the Italian god associated with commerce, his name probably deriving from the Latin word for merchandise ( merx ).
Juno
Juno was a major Italian goddess and one of the main deities in Rome, where, since the Early Republic, she was queen of the Capitol.
