This book provides a fresh perspective on the population history of
Italy during the late Republic. It employs a range of sources and a
multidisciplinary approach to investigate demographic trends and
the demographic behaviour of Roman citizens. Dr Hin shows how they
adapted to changing economic, climatic and social conditions in a
period of intense conquest. Her critical evaluation of the evidence
on the demographic toll taken by warfare and rising societal
complexity leads her to a revisionist 'middle count' scenario of
population development in Italy. In tracing the population history
of an ancient conquest society, she provides an accessible pathway
into Roman demography which focuses on the three main demographic
parameters - mortality, fertility and migration. She unites
literary and epigraphic sources with demographic theory,
archaeological surveys, climatic and skeletal evidence, models and
comparative data. Tables, figures and maps enable readers to
visualise the quantitative dynamics at work.
