Description
Using the results of archaeological techniques, and examining methodological debates, Tim Cornell provides a lucid and authoritative account of the rise of Rome.
The Beginnings of Rome offers insight on major issues such as:
Rome's relations with the Etruscans
the conflict between patricians and plebeians
the causes of Roman imperialism
the growth of slave-based economy.
Answering the need for raising acute questions and providing an analysis of the many different kinds of archaeological evidence with literary sources, this is the most comprehensive study of the subject available, and is essential reading for students of Roman history.

Reviews / Votes
'T.J Cornell's synthesis of early Roman history has some great virtues: it is learned, up-to-date and readable.' - London Review of Books'Cornell's lucid review of what we know of early Rome (to 264 BC) is excellent value ... The book is warmly recommended.' - JACT Review
'Cornell's is the most authoritative study of early Roman history to have been written by a single author since Beloch's Romanische Geschichte of 1926. The Beginnings of Rome is an authoritative, important, and timely book from which we are all benefiting, and from which much subsequent study of early Rome will start.' - The Classical Review 'Cornell's is the most authoritative study of early Roman history to have been written by a single author since Beloch's Romanische Geschichte of 1926.
