In this book, Gary D. Farney explores how senators from Rome's Republican period celebrated and manipulated their ethnie identity to get ahead in Rome's political culture. He examines how politicians from various lands tried to advertise positive aspects of their ethnie identity, how others tried to re-create a négative identity into some-thing positive, and how ethnie identity advertisement developed over the course of Republican history. Finally, Farney addresses how the various Italie identifies coalesced into a singular Italian identity in the Empire and how Rome's expérience with Italie groups informed how it perceived other groups, such as Gauls, Germans, and Greeks. Gary D. Farney is assistant professor of history at Rutgers University in Newark. A scholar of Roman history, he is a Fellow of the American Academy in Rome and has published in journals such as Memoirs of the American Academy in Rome, Historia, and Athenaeum.
