The Samnites recur throughout Greek and Roman historical sources as
formidable warriors and Rome's greatest foes from the mid-fourth
century B.C. This book explores the portable material culture for
evidence of an emerging 'proto-Samnite' identity between 750 and
350 B.C. The relationships between material culture, ethnicity,
constructions of social identity, gender and the life-course are
critically examined through the personal adornments recovered from
necropolis sites in the central Apennines and surrounding regions.
The catalogue of fibulae, bracelets, pendants and necklaces
(available online) forms the basis for analysis through
distribution mapping, typological patterns, and the use of metals
and exotic materials.
