An in-depth study of how the Roman Empire influenced life, culture,
and politics in northern Italy. Carolynn E. Roncaglia's Northern
Italy in the Roman World analyzes the effect of the Roman Empire on
northern Italy, tracing the evolution of the region from the Bronze
Age to the Gothic wars. A wealthy and strategically important
region, northern Italy presents an interesting case study for
examining the influence of the Roman state on the fluctuating
geographic areas of Cisalpine Gaul that were under its control.
Using an array of epigraphic, archaeological, numismatic, and
literary evidence, Roncaglia shows how Rome affected matters large
and small, from loom weights to ritual horse burials, social
networks to the careers of writers. Among the range of fascinating
topics she discusses are Celtic migrations, the Roman conquest,
Hannibal, long-distance trade networks, freedmen families, St.
Ambrose, Catullus, and Pliny the Younger. Northern Italy in the
Roman World argues that the relationship between long-term trends
and short-term events is key to understanding how Rome affected the
territory within its empire. The book is the first major discussion
of Roman northern Italy in English to appear since World War II and
will be of special interest to scholars and students of the ancient
world, European prehistory, the medieval world, and Italian
studies.
