ISBN: 9780197655245 - a community in transition: rome between hannibal and the gracchi (4 risultati)

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. This volume gathers twelve studies on key aspects of the history of Rome and its empire between the end of the Hannibalic War (200 BCE) and the election of Tiberius Gracchus to the tribunate (134 BCE). Through this periodization, which places the focus on what intervened between two major and well-studied historical turning points in Republican history, the book aims to bring new light to the interplay between imperial expansion, political volatility, andintellectual developments, and on the various levels on which historical change unfolded.The lack of a continuous ancient narrative for this period, even late or derivative, has shapedmuch of the historiographical discourse about it. This volume seeks to convey a new sense of the depth of the period and establishes new connections among aspects of human agency and action that are usually considered in isolation from one another. It puts in fruitful dialogue contribution on a range of topics as diverse as climate change, oratory, agrarian laws, urban architecture, and the civilian military, among others. The result is a diverse, multifocal, non-hierarchical assessment of acritical but often understudied period in Roman history.With a well-balanced list of established and up-and-coming scholars, A Community in Transition fills a substantialhistoriographical gap in the study of the Roman Republic.
