Empire, Hegemony or Anarchy?
During the period between the end of the Hannibalic War and Octavian's decisive victory in the battle of Actium in 31 BC, the Italian peninsula gradually evolved as the heartland of the Roman Empire as it was expanding across the Mediterranean. The international team of contributors to this e-book elucidates different aspects of the social, cultural and political tensions that erupted as part of this process, and which more than once threatened t…
Sympathy with the Allies? Abusive Magistrates and Political Discourse in Republican Rome
Over the course of the 2nd century b.c.e., relations between Rome and her Italian allies increasingly deteriorated. Amongst the principal causes of allied dissatisfaction, historians regularly cite Roman magistrates’ abusive behaviour towards Italian communities. The key ancient source of information on this subject is the fragment of a single speech by C. Gracchus (ap. Gell. NA 10.3.2–5), delivered to a Roman political assembly in support of all…
Ancient Samnium
BOOK REVIEWS/COMPTES RENDUS 431 in both the Aeneid and Ulysses, though with emphasis on the former. In this light, he gives particularly close attention to Helenus and Aeneas’ effort to comprehend the Sibyl’s prophetic utterance, thus looking closely at Aeneid 3 as well as 6. Pogorzelski’s close analysis of the dimensions of intentional allusion and of accidental intertext might put us in mind of Joyce’s famous claim to be in thorough control of …
The Internal Frontier
Fragmented Images
Cultural decline as a result of the R oman conquest is usually invoked to explain the gradual disappearance of T arquinian tomb paintings during the third century BC . By contrast, this paper argues that, first, the late tomb paintings of T arquinia markedly differed from their predecessors by decorating individual burials (fragmentation), as opposed to entire chamber tombs, which should be seen as a culturally meaningful development in the icono…

From Clay to Stone
Representations of vases are remarkably common in Volterran urn sculpture of the second and early first centuries B.C.E. Among these, the closely related shapes of the bell and calyx kraters stand out. Not only do they occur much more frequently than representations of other vessel types on the front reliefs of the sculpted urns, they were also reproduced as monumental versions of ceramic kraters that were used as funerary urns. On the sculpted u…
