The Beginnings of Rome - Italy and Rome from the Bronze Age to the Punic Wars (c.1000-264 BC) (Paperback, New)

The beginnings of Rome, once thought to be lost in the mists of legend, are now being revealed by agrowing body of archaeological evidence, much of it unearthed during the last twenty-five years. This new material has made it possible to trace the development of Rome back from an Iron Age village to a major state which eventually outstripped its competitors and became a Mediterranean power. The study of this period raises acute questions of historical method, demanding analysis of many different kinds of archaeological evidence in conjunction with literary sources.
Tim Cornell provides a lucid and authoritative account of the rise of Rome in this extensive textbook. He uses the results of up to date archaeological techniques and examines current methodological debates. The Beginnings of Rome offers new and often controversial answers to major questions such as Rome's relations with the Etruscans, the conflict between patricians and plebians, the causes of Roman imperialism and the growth of a slave-based economy. It is the most comprehensive study of the subject available; essential reading for students of Roman history.
