Community and Society in Roman Italy by Stephen L Dyson
He examines the typicalRoman community during the High Empire and explores the life cycle of rural inhabitants, showing how individuals- the aristocrats, the free poor, and the slaves- developed in relation to society as a whole.
Resourceful and imaginative, [Dyson] looks into the humdrum, sometimes quietly desperate lives of Italy's small towns and urban centers and brings them sharply to lifeVergilius A valuable example of how archaeological data can be used alongside conventional sources to produce compelling social and economic history. -- Keith Bradley American Historical Review An important addition to the literature on classical Rome... Highly recommended. Choice 2010
