[QUOTE]Originally posted by IronLion: [QB] Who are the ancient Romans: Romans were the descendants of disparate ethnic groups--Latins, Sabines, Etruscans, etc.--who came together in the distant past to forge a single, albeit pluralistic community. This is the story of the origins of the Roman people promoted by later Roman authors, such as Florus and Velleius Paterculus, and often repeated in modern classrooms and history texts. Indeed, Rome in the Republican period is often considered noteworthy, if not praiseworthy, for its capacity to absorb diverse cultural, ethnic, and linguistic communities in Italy. Meanwhile, the Roman aristocracy was constantly evolving, as municipal elite were slowly incorporated and recruited into the ranks of the domi nobiles. In this excellent, thought-provoking book, Gary Farney explores how the issue of ethnic identity crosscut Roman political culture. See: http://bmcr.brynmawr.edu/2008/2008-04-25.html [/QB][/QUOTE]
