Scholarship has widely debated the question about the existence of
an 'Italian identity' in the time of the Roman Republic, basing on
the few sources available and on the outcomes of the Augustan and
imperial age. In this sense, this debate has for a long time been
conducted without sufficient imput from social sciences, and
particularly from social geography, which has developed
methodologies and models for the investigation of identities. This
book starts therefore from the consideration that Italy came to be,
by the end of the Republic, a region within the Roman imperium, and
investigates the ways this happened and its consequences on the
local populations and their identity structures. It shows that
Italy gained a territorial and symbolic shape, and own institutions
defining it as a territorial region, and that a regional identity
developed as a consequence by the 2nd century BCE. The original,
interdisciplinary approach to the matter allows a consistent
revision of the ancient sources and sheds now light on the topic,
providing important reflections for future studies on the subject.
