A Companion to the Archaeology of the Roman Republic (Blackwell Companions to the Ancient World)

While this could hypothetically be true, there is not enough comparative research done in respect to the frequency of foot votives from both roadside as well as non-roadside sanctuaries to support this notion.

Section four is dedicated to the archaeology of identity consisting of five chapters. Stek begins the section giving a detailed account of the area of conflict between Italic identities and the question of Romanization, summarizing previous scholarship and most recent criticism on the Romanization model. By looking at the colonies, he convincingly shows that we can neither speak of a superior Roman material culture nor of a distribution of an urban model based on the city of Rome. Individual civic bodies seem more to have stressed their own identity and may, according to Stek, have even developed a stronger local identity through opposition to Rome.

The study of material culture therefore needs to take this into account and must not be seen only as signs of resistance or adherence to Roman objects or styles. The following two chapters, written by Penelope J. Davies and Jane DeRose Evans, respectively, pick up where the previous section left off, namely the city of Rome and its development during the Middle and Late Republic. He gives a very concise account of the research that has been done in this Republican settlement over the last six decades.

The concluding chapter by Michael C. Hoff, dealing with Roman Greece and focussing on Corinth and especially Athens as case studies, fights against the widely held opinion that the Roman presence in the Greek east had only little effect on Greek culture. The final chapter by Margaret M. It is in the nature of volumes such as this Companion that reviewers find flaws to point out and references to add, which is always easier than to actually write a flawless paper oneself, so despite my criticism on various chapters, the book is a felicitous contribution to the archaeological investigation of Rome, Italy and the Provinces in Republican times.

Maps and photographs illustrate many of the contributions. Readers will encounter, as a rule, reliable and often insightful overviews of complex problems, with plenty of engagement with the ancient evidence and invaluable bibliographical information.
