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.
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.

English summary: The 4th edition of "Romischen Sozialgeschichte"
(Roman Social History) is an updated version of the 3rd edition
from 1985. This new edition contains a significantly broadened
scope, an extensive annotation apparatus, and a description of new
literature that appeared since the publication of the 3rd edition.
This edition is still the only summary representation of the
history of the society of Rome from origins through late-antiquity.
Its subject matter range over questions concerning the origins of
the social arrangement, the individual classes and groups of the
community, their permeability, conflicts, ideals, crises and their
self-understanding in the individual epochs. This edition rests on
the results of international research, thoroughly grounded in
ancient literary and epigraphic sources and also affording room for
the critical discussion over the controversial problems of the
Roman social order. German description: Die 4. Auflage der
Romischen Sozialgeschichte ist eine aktualisierte, auf den
doppelten Umfang erweiterte und um einen umfangreichen
Anmerkungsapparat sowie um ein Verzeichnis der in den letzten
Jahrzehnten erschienenen Fachliteratur bereicherte Neuausgabe der
im Jahre 1985 vorgelegten 3. Auflage. Sie ist nach wie vor die
einzige zusammenfassende Darstellung der Geschichte der
Gesellschaft Roms von den Anfangen bis zur Spatantike. Ihren
Gegenstand bilden Fragen wie die Grundlagen fuer die soziale
Gliederung, die einzelnen Schichten und Gruppen der Gesellschaft,
ihre Durchlassigkeit, ihre Konflikte, ihre Ideale, ihre Krisen und
ihr Selbstverstandnis in den einzelnen Epochen. Sie stuetzt sich
auf die Ergebnisse der internationalen Forschung, lasst durchgehend
die antiken literarischen und epigraphischen Quellen sprechen und
bietet auch Raum fuer die kritische Diskussion ueber umstrittene
Probleme der romischen Sozialordnung.
Die Mikrostrukturen einer 'toten' Sprache zu erforschen, ist eine
besondere Herausforderung. In jungerer Zeit sind wichtige Studien
erschienen, die sich mit der Wortstellung im Lateinischen im
Hinblick auf das sogenannte Wackernagelsche Gesetz befassen, wonach
Klitika im Indogermanischen nach der zweiten Satzposition strebten.
Die vorliegende Publikation uberpruft die vor allem an
literarischen Zeugnissen gewonnenen Ergebnisse, wonach das
Lateinische uber ein differenziertes System zur Fokussierung
sprachlicher Aussagen verfugte, an den ca. 3400 republikanischen
Inschriften. Hierdurch ergeben sich Modifikationen bisheriger
Erkenntnisse, Neubewertungen sprachlicher Erscheinungen sowie
zahlreiche Detailinterpretationen der Texte selbst. Bisherige
Forschungsschwerpunkte des Autors: Lateinische Sprache und Poesie
des 3./2. Jh. v. Chr.; Lateinische Epigraphik.
