The Italians on the Land: changing perspectives on Republican Italy then and now

The study of Italy under the Roman Republic is currently enjoying something of a resurgence in popularity. New techniques and ideas are being brought to bear on old questions with interesting results. This conference aims to look at Italy from an Italian as well as from a Roman perspective.

However, its remit is intended to be quite broad, looking at a broad range of areas covering:

Demography.
Agricultural & Economic history.
Population movements & urbanisation
Settlement pattern trends.
Reform under the Republic.
