This work uses the results of up-to-date archaeological techniques as well as taking current methodological debates into account. Covering the years 753 BC to 264 BC, it offers new perspectives on major questions such as Romes relations with the Etruscans, the conflict between patricians and plebeians, the causes of Roman imperialism and the growth of a slave-based economy.
