• Contributions discuss new theories of how to understand cultural change in the Italian peninsula
• Combines detailed case-studies of particular sites with wider-ranging thematic chapters
• Leading contributors not only make accessible the most recent work on Roman Italy, but also offer fresh insight on long standing debates
