BERNARD, S., Building Mid-Republican Rome. Labor, Architecture, and the Urban Economy. Oxford University Press, 2021. 336p. Paperback. Bernard's study offers a cogent argument for the reappraisal of the period prior to the Second Punic War, weaving disparate developments together into a coherent narrative to reopen the debate on the changing social makeup and economic mentalities operating in the Early and Mid-Republican city. He presents an original model for reconstructing the formative process of economic institutions commonly associated with Rome's later history.... His expert use of buildings and construction processes as historical sources in their own right opens the way for a more nuanced exploration of Republican urbanism in Italy and will prompt further quantitative research on the demographic and economic effects of urban development in higher-order settlements. Already a classic, the book is its own building block for future work. Journal of Roman Archaeology (Publisher's information). € 35.99 (New) (approx. delivery time: 14 days) ISBN: 9780197608265
