Christopher J. Dart is a Fellow in the School of Historical and Philosophical Studies at the University of Melbourne, Australia. He has published on a diverse range of subjects relating to the Roman world, including citizenship and land rights, the Roman triumph, the Social War in Italy and Roman military history.
Ancient sources preserve scant information about the conflict, but the Social War is widely recognised as having been immensely important in the unification of Roman Italy. In response to the conflicting accounts and contradictory interpretations of modern scholarship, this book provides a new, comprehensive reassessment of the events surrounding the Social War, analysing the immediate context of the conflict as well as its causes, legacy, and role in reshaping Roman and Italian identity.
The modern study of the social war. Ancient perspectives on the social war. Italians and the Roman state in the second century BCE. Livius Drusus, Poppaedius Silo and the looming conflict (91 BCE). The outbreak of the war (91 to 90 BCE). The war in Italy (90 BCE). The collapse of the Italian insurgency (89 to 88 BCE). The Lex Iulia, Lex Plautia Papiria and enfranchisement (90 to 88 BCE). Ongoing conflicts and enfranchisement (88 to 70 BCE).
