What difference did the Roman expansion make in the transformation of ancient Italy? With its conservative nature and abundance of material evidence, the religious sphere represents a unique lens through which we can study this process over time and across different sites. Tapping into the transformation of Italy as a result of Rome’s expansion, this book problematizes the issue of Romanization and sheds light on the different processes of adaptation that occurred during the Roman conquest.
