Rome around 300 BC; List of maps; List of illustrations Review By stepping outside of the binary of optimists and pessimists in his approach to the literary evidence, and by judiciously interpreting the ever-increasing body of archaeological material, Guy Bradley offers an evenhanded and insightful narrative of the development of Rome in his Early Rome to 290 BC: The Beginnings of the City and the Rise of the Republic over the course of eleven chapters (six thematic chapters bringing us to the sixth century BCE followed by five more advancing to 290 BCE).--Parrish Elizabeth Wright "Ancient World Magazine"Guy Bradleys Early Rome to 290 BC is an engaging analysis of Romes ascension from a small hillside community to a supreme power in central Italy. I found it both accessible and scholarly, and enjoyed the way it presents the latest archaeological evidence in tables, maps and illustrations.--Juliana Costa-Veysey "The Journal of Classics Teaching (2022), 1-3" Review Quote Guy Bradleys monumental study of early Rome represents the most balanced and scholarly account we have. His grasp of the archaeological material, the literary evidence and the theoretical frameworks is second to none, and this is now the standard account against which all rival interpretations will be measured. Promotional "Headline" The emergence of Rome as an imperial power Description for Reader This book is about the formative period of the Roman state, beginning when Rome was little more than a village or a group of villages and probably not even the most important settlement in Latium, its surrounding region. By the end of the period, Rome was the most powerful city-state in Italy, with its classic mid Republican constitution, a cosmopolitan urban centre, and a developed economy substantially based on slave labour. There is a growing realisation among historians of the sophistication of early Rome, and of its importance as a crucible for the later practices and institutions of the Roman state (including its imperialism). The period is increasingly the subject of undergraduate courses, and benefits from the great readability of the primary literary source for this period, Livy. The authors approach for the early period is thematic within an overall chronological progression, until a relatively reliable narrative becomes possible in the early Republic. The themes crucial to an understanding of the entire period include the sophistication of Rome under the monarchy, and the extent to which the Republic inherited its institutions and social structures; the role of collective ideology and identity; the openness of Roman society in extending its citizenship to foreigners and in its cultural receptivity; the increasing complexity of the Roman state and society; the extent of oligarchic government and its consequences for the masses.
