In this book, Gabriele Cifani reconstructs the early economic
history of Rome, from the Iron Age to the early Republic. Bringing
a multidisciplinary approach to the topic, he argues that the early
Roman economy was more diversified than has been previously
acknowledged, going well beyond agriculture and pastoralism. Cifani
bases his argument on a systematic review of archaeological
evidence for production, trade and consumption. He posits that the
existence of a network system, based on cultural interaction,
social mobility, and trade, connected Rome and central Tyrrhenian
Italy to the Mediterranean Basin even in this early period of
Rome's history. Moreover, these trade and cultural links existed in
parallel to regional, diversified economies, and institutions.
Cifani's book thus offers new insights into the economic basis for
the rise of Rome, as well as the social structures of Mediterranean
Iron Age societies.
