Italy and the West

Nineteen papers examining varied responses to Romanization, and how this affects our view of the development of the Roman Empire. The authors investigate the problem by focusing on 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.
