Summary: "This volume gathers twelve studies on key aspects of the history of Rome and her empire between the end of the Hannibalic War (201 BCE) and the election of Tiberius Gracchus to the tribunate (134 BCE). Through this periodisation, which places the focus on what intervened between two major and well-studied historical turning points in Republican history, we aim to bring new light on the interplay between imperial expansion, political volatility, and intellectual developments, and to explore in detail the various levels on which historical change unfolded. There is no continuous ancient narrative for this period, even late or derivative, and this has shaped much of the historiographical discourse about it. Our working hypothesis is that through this prism we can both get a new sense of the depth and richness of the period and establish new connections among aspects of human agency and action that are usually considered in isolation from one another"-- Provided by publisher.
