  1. „La punizione dei vinti“: dibattiti e decreti senatori su Campani e Tarentini dopo la riconquista.Annarosa Gallo - 2018 - Klio 100 (3):785-824.
    Riassunto La punizione inflitta, nel 211 a. C., ai Campani, municipes sine suffragio, per la loro defezione ad Annibale, era stata assunta da una parte del senato a paradigma anche per i soci Tarentini, nel 208 a. C., rei allo stesso modo. Tale valutazione politica poggiava sull’assunto che la pena dovesse essere commisurata alla colpa, indipendentemente dal differente statuto giuridico dei defezionisti. Questa è espressione della linea rigorista perseguita contro i traditori, tra alti, da Q. Fulvius Flaccus, all’opposto di quella (...)

  • Hammer Time: The Publicii Malleoli Between Cult and Cultural History.Dan-el Padilla Peralta - 2018 - Classical Antiquity 37 (2):267-320.
    This article studies the adoption of the nickname Malleolus by members of the gens Publicia in mid-republican Rome to illustrate the importance of grounding cultural history in the lives of seemingly minor political players and the mundane objects with which they came to be associated. After reviewing the occupational significance of hammers during the First Punic War, I scrutinize the ritual and cultic intersignifications of hammers in fourth- and third-century BCE central Italy in order to set up a comprehensive reconstruction (...)

  • Public Slaves in Rome: ‘Privileged’ or Not?Franco Luciani - 2020 - Classical Quarterly 70 (1):368-384.
    In the Roman world, slavery played a crucial role. Besides private slaves, owned by individual masters, and—from the beginning of the Principate—imperial slaves, who were the property of the emperors, there were also the so-called public slaves: non-free individuals who were owned by a community, such as the Roman people as a whole in Rome (serui publici populi Romani), or the citizen body of a colony or a municipium in Italy or in the provinces (serui ciuitatum). Public slaves in Rome (...)

  • The Tradition of the Spolia Opima: M. Claudius Marcellus and Augustus.Harriet I. Flower - 2000 - Classical Antiquity 19 (1):34-64.
    This paper aims to reexamine how traditions about the spolia opima developed with special emphasis on two crucial phases of their evolution, the time of Marcus Claudius Marcellus' dedication in 222 BC and the early years of Augustus' principate, following the restoration of the temple of Jupiter Feretrius on the Capitol. In particular, I will argue that Marcellus invented the spolia opima, that his feat shaped the entire tradition about such dedications, and that this tradition was later enhanced and "reinvented" (...)

  • Italy after the Pyrrhic War: the Beginnings of Roman Colonization in Etruria.Edoardo Bianchi - 2018 - Klio 100 (3):765-784.
    Summary My paper aims to clarify the subsequent steps of Rome’s encroachment on Etruria in the aftermath of the Pyrrhic War. As is well known, the Latin colony of Cosa was founded in 273 BC on the Tyrrhenian coast to the north of Vulci; moreover, in the years 264–245 BC, four citizen colonies were founded on the Caeretan coast, namely Castrum Novum, Pyrgi, Alsium and Fregenae. Unfortunately, it is not easy to reconstruct precisely what the Roman movements in Etruria were, (...)
