In 2011 Michel Aberson, Maria Cristina Biella, Massimiliano Di
Fazio and Manuela Wullschleger (two Italians and two Swiss, two
archaeologists and two historians of antiquity) met in Geneva at
the Fondation Hardt pour l'étude de l'Antiquite classique and
decided to undertake a challenging project together: to organize
three conferences on the peoples of central Italy, taking into
consideration the key milestones in their history, from their
independence, through their relations with Rome and ending with the
(re)construction of their identities within the Roman world.
Underpinning the project, which immediately found the support of
many colleagues and institutions, was the idea of bringing
historians, archaeologists, linguists and specialists of Latin
literature together to collaboratively create a comprehensive
picture of these significantly multifaceted and sometimes even
conflicting topics. The present volume is the outcome of the third
conference of the series E pluribus unum? Italy from the Pre-Roman
fragmentation to the Augustan Unity, held at the University of
Oxford in October 2016; it deals with the specific moments of
conscious rediscovery of conquered peoples’ contribution to Roman
culture from the late Republic and during the Empire. These
influences can be recognized particularly during the Late Republic
and Augustan period, and the final outcome is the formation of a
connective tissue, which can be described as the cement of the
"unaccomplished identity" of ancient Italy. The volume investigates
the issue from different perspectives in order to avoid the
adoption of a Romanocentric perspective.
