EARLY ROME The history of early Rome is well covered in T. J. Cornell, The Beginnings of Rome: Italy and Rome from the Bronze Age to the Punic Wars (c. 1000–264 B.C.) (London, 1995). A good work on the Etruscans is S. Haynes, Etruscan Civilization: A Cultural History (Los Angeles, 2005).
POLITICAL AND SOCIAL STRUCTURE Aspects of the Roman political structure can be studied in R. E. Mitchell, Patricians and Plebeians: The Origin of the Roman State (Ithaca, N.Y., 1990). On the Roman social structure, see G. Alfoldy, The Social History of Rome (London, 1985).
THE EXPANSION OF ROME On the conquest of Italy, see J.-M. David, The Roman Conquest of Italy, trans. A. Nevill (Oxford, 1996). On Rome’s struggle with Carthage, see N. Bag- nall, The Punic Wars (Oxford, 2002). On Roman military forces, see A. Goldsworthy, The Complete Roman Army (London, 2003).
