Migration, Mobility and Place in Ancient Italy challenges
prevailing conceptions of a natural tie to the land and a
demographically settled world. It argues that much human mobility
in the last millennium BC was ongoing and cyclical. In particular,
outside the military context 'the foreigner in our midst' was not
regarded as a problem. Boundaries of status rather than of
geopolitics were those difficult to cross. The book discusses the
stories of individuals and migrant groups, traders, refugees,
expulsions, the founding and demolition of sites, and the political
processes that could both encourage and discourage the transfer of
people from one place to another. In so doing it highlights moments
of change in the concepts of mobility and the definitions of those
on the move. By providing the long view from history, it exposes
how fleeting are the conventions that take shape here and now.
