Book: Rome at War: Farms, Families, and Death in the Middle
#1
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.
"Each historical fact needs to be considered, insofar as possible, no with hindsight and following abstract universal principles, but in the context of own proper age and environment" Aldo A. Settia
