{"product_id":"9781108422673","title":"The Early Roman Expansion into Italy: Elite Negotiation and Family Agendas","description":"This book presents a radical new interpretation of Roman expansion in Italy during the fourth and third centuries BCE. Nicola Terrenato argues that the process was accomplished by means of a grand bargain that was negotiated between the landed elites of central and southern Italy, while military conquest played a much smaller role than is usually envisaged. Deploying archaeological, epigraphic, and historical evidence, he paints a picture of the family interactions that tied together both Roman and non-Roman aristocrats and that resulted in their pooling power and resources for the creation of a new political entity. The book is written in accessible language, without technical terms or quotations in Latin, and is heavily illustrated.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46446833336561,"sku":"9781108422673","price":133.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781108422673_p0.jpg?v=1765132848","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781108422673","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
