Italy’s Economic Revolution: Integration and Economy in Republican Italy

The Roman conquest of Italy in the Republican period led to widespread economic changes in which the conquered Italians played an important role. This volume explores the interplay between economic activities and the integration of the Italian peoples into the Roman civic, legal, social, and cultural framework, examining how economic interaction related to the Italian rebellion against Rome in the Social War of 91-88 BC and the subsequent civic integration, and highlighting the importance of Roman citizenship as an instrument of further economic, political, social, and cultural integration between the Romans and Italians.
