Rome at War: Farms, Families, and Death in the Middle Republic by N.S. Rosenstein, Un. North Caroline Press

Very interessing book researching a alternative explication of enrolment crisis of late II century BC, based not on the population's diminution but on much more complex causes-effects system.

I've heard very good things about this book as well!

You can read the first chapter of Rome at War on the UNC Press website here: http://uncpress.unc.edu/chapters/rosenstein_rome.html
