About This Book

The volume offers a compact chronological account of Italy's geography and early inhabitants, the legendary monarchy and its institutions, the transition to a republic, and the subsequent development of Roman political, legal, and military systems. It treats internal conflicts between social orders, major wars and diplomatic encounters, constitutional reforms and codifications, and urban and administrative growth, while supplying maps, illustrations, and chapterized material suited to classroom use. Emphasis falls on institutional origins, civic structures, and the sequence of events that prepared the polity for later imperial consolidation.
