Money and mid-republican Rome
Rome’s mid-republican period is back in the centre of attention. Roman money and coinage, however, are largely absent from the debate. As this field has seen important developments in recent years, this paper surveys recent research in order to explore how numismatic sources can contribute to our understanding of this formative period in Roman history. First, we present an overview of these new developments, which we then contextualise in the fra…

Historical archives from the Roman Monarchic and Republican periods show human perceptions of environment and climate change in Italy, 753–29 BCE
Historical archives for the Roman Monarchic and Republican periods (753–29 BCE) offer a highly resolved series of observations of environmental and climatic phenomena in Central Italy. This paper presents a new collection of these historical archives, gathering 319 observations across the period. We introduce the historical character of these archives and point out aspects affecting their analysis and interpretation for reconstruction of past env…
Slavery, Prosperity, and Inequality in Roman Pompeii
Historians of premodern economies, in contrast to modern ones, have only infrequently contemplated the economic contribution of slavery. Here, I suggest that quantitative and statistical tools allow us to evaluate the place of slavery in an early economy, using Roman Pompeii as a case study. At the time of its destruction in 79 ce, Pompeii appears prosperous, having benefitted from the economic development thought to have characterized the Roman …

Making the Middle Republic
During the fourth and third centuries BCE, Roman expansion into Italy reshaped the peninsula's Archaic societies and prompted new political relationships, new economic practices, and new sociocultural structures. Rural landscapes and urban spaces throughout Latium saw intensified use amidst novel principles of land management, animal husbandry, and architectural design. This book offers fresh perspectives on these transformations by embracing a w…

A new method for the energetics analysis of polygonal masonry in Samnite hillforts (Italy)
This article presents a statistically grounded method for the comparative analysis of polygonal masonry and the calculation of their architectural energetics. Four wall stretches of different Samnite hillforts (5th-3rd century BCE) have been recorded through 3D modelling to generate models suitable for calculating three variables (area, rectangularity and gap area) used for a comparative assessment of the different building techniques involved in…
The Falerii Novi Project
The Falerii Novi Project represents a newly formed archaeological initiative to explore the Roman city of Falerii Novi. The project forms a collaboration of the British School at Rome with a multinational team of partner institutions. Thanks to a rich legacy of geophysical work on both the site and its territory, Falerii Novi presents an exceptional opportunity to advance understanding of urbanism in ancient and medieval Italy. The Falerii Novi P…
The Falerii Novi Project
A four-week campaign from 29 May–23 June 2023 marked the third season of the Falerii Novi Project, and the second season of stratigraphic excavation on site as part of an international collaboration between the British School at Rome, Harvard University, the Institute of Classical Studies (University of London) and the University of Toronto, along with researchers from Ghent University and the University of Florence, under the authorization of th…
Michael J. Taylor. Soldiers and Silver
Historians have asked how Republican Rome acquired its Mediterranean empire since the period itself, when the Greek historian Polybius posed the question of Rome’s rise as a topic all serious intellectuals needed to consider. In this tightly written monograph, based on a 2015 dissertation, Michael Taylor offers an answer: resource differentials. In his earlier work, Taylor has produced a string of excellent articles on various aspects of Roman Re…
An Environmental and Climate History of the Roman Expansion in Italy
A first synthesis of available data for the period of Rome's expansion in Italy (about 400-29 b.c.e.) shows the role of climate and environment in early Roman imperialism. Although global indices suggest a warmer phase with relatively few short-term climate events occuring around the same time as the expansion, local data emphasize the highly variable timing and expression of these trends. This variability casts doubt on ideas of a unitary, histo…

Middle Republican Connectivities
This paper outlines a new framework for the historical study of Rome and Italy during the middle republican period. We argue that traditional approaches centred upon social struggles at home and battles abroad, res domi militiaeque , do not sufficiently capture the dynamism of Roman society during the early stages of imperial expansion. Recent scholarship has been rightly critical of the appropriateness of applying concepts of Hellenisation to th…

Notes on the elogium of a benefactor at Pompeii
The rediscovery in the summer of 2017 of a large monumental tomb of unusual form outside the Stabian Gate at Pompeii caused an immediate sensation, and the swift initial publication by M. Osanna in JRA 31 (2018) of the long funerary inscription fronting the W side of the base, facing the road, has been welcomed gratefully by the scholarly community. The text — at 183 words, by far the longest funerary inscription yet found at Pompeii — records a …
The Early Roman Expansion into Italy
426 PHOENIX The volume succeeds admirably in showcasing erudite essays that illustrate the variegated ancient approaches to the marvelous vis-à-vis medicine. At the same time, the near-exclusive focus on Hellenistic and imperial texts leaves little space for a diachronic or longue-durée perspective of this disciplinary or generic alliance. Consequently, the category of wonder comes to acquire an almost amorphous and ahistorical cast, conceived in…

Relationships Between Child Emotional and Behavioral Symptoms and Caregiver Strain and Parenting Stress
Children with emotional and behavioral disturbance often have difficulties in multiple symptom domains. This study investigates the relationships between child symptoms and caregiver strain and parenting stress among 177 youth and their caregivers participating in a school-based system of care. Youth were grouped by symptom domain and included those with low scores on both internalizing and externalizing symptoms, those with only high internalizi…

The Social History of Early Roman Coinage
Fiscal explanations often given for Rome's first coins fail to account for the shape of monetary development. Nothing in the mid-republican budget matches the small scale and sporadic production of Roman coins during the early third century, or coinage's rapid expansion in the lead-up to the Second Punic War. Instead, I locate early Roman coinage within a broader reconfiguration of wealth and political power during the early phases of imperial ex…
Debt, Land, and Labor in the Early Republican Economy
This paper describes the early Republican productive economy by focusing on the relationship of debt to the dynamics of landholding and the labor supply. I argue that the conquest of Veii (396 B.C.) thinned Roman labor relative to landholding. The imbalance led to the continuation of debt relationships for the next century
Continuing the Debate on Rome's Earliest Circuit Walls
Rome's pre-Imperial circuit walls pose a particular problem of reconstruction: collectively, their 11 km course represents the largest single monument of the early city, but our understanding of this structure is based on an assemblage of several dozen disparate archaeological sites. After tracing the interpretation of these fragments from antiquity to the present, this article examines the literary, topographical and archaeological evidence for …

Rhetorics of Land and Power in the Polla Inscription (CIL I2 638)
The famous inscription from Polla reporting a Roman magistrate’s management of problems and opportunities in Italian and provincial contexts is a perennial tease: its information is rich but contradictory. In this paper we accept a second century bce date for the inscription and the events it reports but leave the much discussed question of the dedicator’s identity aside in order to focus on the inscription’s rhetoric: by looking at the grounds o…

Campus Martius, republican
The Campus Martius, the field consecrated to Mars, was the area of Rome just outside the city walls and within the curve of the Tiber River. This location, extramural but still close to the city's center, gave the Campus a privileged political and religious position throughout Roman history. Its size alone was such that, when it was finally monumentalized in the Late Republic and Early Empire, the rest of the city seemed almost an appendage to it…

Urban development at Rome's Porta Esquilina and church of San Vito over the longue durée
San Vito's modern location on the Esquiline betrays little of the importance of the church's site in the pre-modern city (fig. 1). The small church was begun under Pope Sixtus IV for the 1475 jubilee and finished two years later along what was at that time the main route between Santa Maria Maggiore and the Lateran. Modern interventions, however, and particularly the creation of the quartiere Esquilino in the late 19th c., changed the traffic pat…
Conclusion
This chapter recapitulates the arguments of the previous chapters, while also emphasizing an overarching narrative of economic change. The book’s separate studies argue collectively for the Mid-Republic as the moment of significant change in Rome’s urban economy. Many of the structures of labor and the ways of organizing production that characterized the later Republican and Imperial city may be seen to emerge at this time. The question of what m…
A Cost Analysis of the Republican Circuit Walls
This chapter analyzes the social and economic effects of the single largest construction project of pre-Imperial Rome, the circuit of walls built in the first half of the fourth century BCE. I employ an “energetics” approach (Abrams 1994), quantifying the labor-cost of the walls’ construction by means of comparative data and close study of the monument’s remains. The resulting model provides a better idea not only of the walls’ total cost, but of…
The Nobilitas and Economic Innovation
The period around 300 BCE was one of dramatic change in the structure of the Republican economy. This chapter details the chronological convergence of three developments relevant to Rome’s production of large-scale infrastructure: the appearance of coinage, the expansion of public contracting, and attachment of the censor to the maintenance and construction of the city’s buildings. Together, these trends allowed speak to a broad shift in the logi…
Materials and Supply
This chapter details the formation of Republican Rome’s urban supply chains. As much of the city’s material even in later periods derived from Italy, the geography of supply emphasizes the Mid-Republican period, when the first stages of imperial conquest allowed Roman access to Italian quarries, forests, mines, and so forth. This discussion also serves to introduce various building materials referred to throughout the volume. Alongside reviewing …
