The Roman province of Noricum occupied most of Austria as well as
parts of Italy, Germany and the Balkans. Noricum, first published
in 1974, presents a comprehensive history of Noricum, from 400 BC
to the end of Roman rule in AD 600. Professor Alfoeldy's account is
predicated on the methodical interpretation of literary, epigraphic
and archaeological sources, and emphasises the problems of
demography and socio-economic history. The chapters are arranged
chronologically, ensuring a sense of the continuity of historical
events and illuminating the history and archaeology of Noricum both
before it came into contact with the Romans as well as under Roman
rule. Noricum includes a review of much recent research on the
province, detailed references to the source material, a
comprehensive bibliography and valuable appendices. It is a
substantial work of ancient history and archaeology and will
interest both the specialist and the general reader.
This study, first published in German in 1975, addresses the need
for a comprehensive account of Roman social history in a single
volume. Specifically, Alfoeldy attempts to answer three questions:
What is the meaning of Roman social history? What is entailed in
Roman social history? How is it to be conceived as history?
Alfoeldy's approach brings social structure much closer to
political development, following the changes in social institutions
in parallel with the broader political milieu. He deals with
specific problems in seven periods: Archaic Rome, the Republic down
to the Second Punic War, the structural change of the second
century BC, the end of the Republic, the Early Empire, the crisis
of the third century AD and the Late Empire. Excellent
bibliographical notes specify the most important works on each
subject, making it useful to the graduate student and scholar as
well as to the advanced and well-informed undergraduate.
