The crisis of the Roman Republic and its transformation into an
Empire have fascinated generations of scholars. It has long been
assumed that a dramatic demographic decline of the rural free
peasantry (which was supplanted by slaves) triggered the series of
social and economic developments which eventually led to Rome's
political crisis during the first century BC. This book contributes
to a lively debate by exploring both the textual and the
archaeological evidence, and by tracing and reassessing the actual
fate of the Italian rural free population between the Late Republic
and the Early Empire. Data derived from a comparative analysis of
twenty-seven archaeological surveys - and about five thousand sites
- allow Dr Launaro to outline a radically new picture according to
which episodes of local decline are placed within a much more
generalised pattern of demographic growth.
