Nineteen papers examining varied responses to Romanization, and how
this affects our view of the development of the Roman Empire. The
traditional view of Romanization is as the triumph of a superior
and more advanced culture over primitive communities, brought about
by military expansion and resulting in the creation of a uniform
political and cultural entity. It is only in the last twenty years
that the variety of responses that Romanization elicited among the
various ethnic groups, social classes, genders, spheres, and even
within the same person in different conjunctures of his or her
life, has begun to be appreciated. The aim of this collection of
papers is to further understanding of Romanization at a formative
stage; early Roman expansion in Italy. There is much evidence for
bi-directional negotiation between Italian communities and Rome.
Understanding the motivation of the Italian peoples to become part
of a new political entity is crucial to knowing how Roman Italy was
kept together for more than half a millennium. Seven papers also
examine responses to Romanization in other parts of the Empire.
