THE ROMAN NATION: RETHINKING ANCIENT NATIONALISM BY TRAVIS ROBERTS A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 2014 MASTER OF HISTORY OF TRAVIS ROBERTS APPROVED: Thesis Committee: Major Professor Bridget Buxton Michael Honhart Marc Hutchison Nasser H. Zawia DEAN OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 2014 ABSTRACT The study of nations and nationalism is often restricted to the examination of modern nations that appeared after the French Revolution. This is because the dominant trend in academic discourse argues that nations only came into existence as a result of modern technologies, mass printing and high levels of literacy. These features are deemed necessary because it has previously been assumed there was no way for individuals within earlier societies to imagine they were part of a larger nation of people similar to themselves. However, Nations are human communities with common cultural features, languages, myths, ancestral homelands and the legal rights of a state; modern technology is not required for a nation to exist. If the study of nations is artificially restricted to this later modern period, then it also limits potential avenues of research into the behaviors of peoples and states in prior eras back to the ancient world. This study argues there were indeed ancient nations and that Rome represents one of the best examples. Roman citizens and allies exhibited their national affiliation in a variety of ways, most notably via a willingness to die for the Roman national collective in the face of extreme duress during the Second Punic War. The national loyalty of Roman citizens and allies then proved a critical advantage in Rome's global wars, granting them a consistent pool of recruitment and access to resources that could not be matched by competing ancient states. Rome fostered a common national identity via its more inclusive policies, which included a lighter touch in handling allies, distribution of citizenship regardless of ethnicity and a general willingness to welcome foreigners, displayed in their acceptance foreign cults. This caused a cultural hybridization within Italy, and by the first century BCE the entire peninsula's inhabitants had become culturally and linguistically similar. The end result was the existence of a smaller Roman nation, which then expanded into an Italian nation with Rome at its core. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Foremost, I would like to thank my major advisor, Dr. Bridget Buxton, who offered critical guidance, advice and suggestions about this thesis over a two year timespan. Her assistance stretched back to before I officially entered graduate school, so I am eternally grateful for all her help. I also owe thank significant thanks to my other thesis committee members, Dr. Michael Honhart and Dr. Marc Hutchison. Without their advice, assistance and questions, my thesis would not be where it is today. Dr. Honhart's assistance stretches back even further, to my undergraduate years, when he found my younger self wandering around the history department confused, in the midst of a complicated college transfer process. He then guided me through signing up for my very first classes at the University of Rhode Island. For this assistance I owe additional and belated thanks. My sincere thanks also go out to Dr. Evelyn Sterne, the professor who oversaw my undergraduate thesis but most recently handled my many administrative issues with care. I would be remiss not to also thank Mr. Ronald Matteson, my high school history teacher, whose enthusiasm for history came through in every class he taught and inspired my love of the topic and thus my academic career. There are innumerable other teachers and professors to whom I owe thanks for inspiring my love of history, pushing me to do better or assisting me in a multitude of ways, far too many to list here. So instead I shall simply add a thank you to every teacher that ever took the extra time to help me along the way. iv Last but not least, I owe thanks to my family, to my parents who encouraged me to attend college where I received the first bachelor's degree in our family; and to my wife who put up with my constant isolation while working on this thesis. v TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT .................................................................................................................. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS .......................................................................................... iv TABLE OF CONTENTS ............................................................................................ vi LIST OF FIGURES .................................................................................................. viii Chapter One - Introduction ........................................................................................ 1 Plan for thesis ......................................................................................................................... 6 Chapter Two - What is a nation? .............................................................................. 11 Nation: A definition .............................................................................................................. 13 States and nations ................................................................................................................ 18 States: Modern and historical examples .............................................................................. 24 Chapter Three - Nationalism: An academic debate ................................................ 30 Rome and Mediterranean anarchy ....................................................................................... 44 Chapter Four - Romanization - A problematic concept but necessary term ........ 52 Romanization in the construction of national identity ......................................................... 67 Chapter Five - The origins of Roman nationalism .................................................. 72 Roman perceptions of national membership ....................................................................... 79 Early signs of nationalism ..................................................................................................... 85 On the question of Roman unity .......................................................................................... 87 Cannae: The crossroads of Roman identity .......................................................................... 91 Citizenship and voting rights: Elements of an imagined community ................................. 100 Loyalty of the allies ............................................................................................................. 107 Rome’s unified response to external threat ....................................................................... 111 Carthaginian model versus the Roman model ................................................................... 116 Roman nationalism extant .................................................................................................. 120 Resilience of the system ..................................................................................................... 128 Chapter Six - Roman religion: The building blocks of Roman Italy ................... 130 vi A nation of immigrants and vagrants ................................................................................. 134 Acceptance of foreign Junos as Roman divinities ............................................................... 137 Alba Longa, Lavinium and Rome: Founding myths of a common people .......................... 146 The limits of "foreign" within Italy ...................................................................................... 151 Acceptance of foreign gods and Roman loyalty ................................................................. 156 Ludi and Fasti: Roman national identity amongst non-elites ............................................. 160 Construction of an imagined Roman community via Fasti ................................................. 162 Chapter Seven - The Social War and the Augustan revolution ........................... 169 Dual identities: Between Roman and Italic ........................................................................ 175 Augustus and the creation of Roman Italia ........................................................................ 182 Conclusion .......................................................................................................................... 186 APPENDICES - Major theories and key definitions ............................................ 194 BIBLIOGRAPHY .................................................................................................... 197 vii LIST OF FIGURES FIGURE PAGE

  • The Legend of Romulus and Remus
    THE LEGEND OF ROMULUS AND REMUS According to tradition, on April 21, 753 B.C., Romulus and his twin brother, Remus, found Rome on the site where they were suckled by a she-wolf as orphaned infants. Actually, the Romulus and Remus myth originated sometime in the fourth century B.C., and the exact date of Rome’s founding was set by the Roman scholar Marcus Terentius Varro in the first century B.C. According to the legend, Romulus and Remus were the sons of Rhea Silvia, the daughter of King Numitor of Alba Longa. Alba Longa was a mythical city located in the Alban Hills southeast of what would become Rome. Before the birth of the twins, Numitor was deposed by his younger brother Amulius, who forced Rhea to become a vestal virgin so that she would not give birth to rival claimants to his title. However, Rhea was impregnated by the war god Mars and gave birth to Romulus and Remus. Amulius ordered the infants drowned in the Tiber, but they survived and washed ashore at the foot of the Palatine hill, where they were suckled by a she-wolf until they were found by the shepherd Faustulus. Reared by Faustulus and his wife, the twins later became leaders of a band of young shepherd warriors. After learning their true identity, they attacked Alba Longa, killed the wicked Amulius, and restored their grandfather to the throne. The twins then decided to found a town on the site where they had been saved as infants. They soon became involved in a petty quarrel, however, and Remus was slain by his brother.

  • Keltoi and Hellenes: a Study of the Celts in the Hellenistic World
    KELTOI AND THE HELLENES A STUDY OF THE CELTS IN THE HELLENISTIC WoRU) PATRICK EGAN In the third century B.C. a large body ofCeltic tribes thrust themselves violently into the turbulent world of the Diadochoi,’ immediately instilling fear, engendering anger and finally, commanding respect from the peoples with whom they came into contact. Their warlike nature, extreme hubris and vigorous energy resembled Greece’s own Homeric past, but represented a culture, language and way of life totally alien to that of the Greeks and Macedonians in this period. In the years that followed, the Celts would go on to ravage Macedonia, sack Delphi, settle their own “kingdom” and ifil the ranks of the Successors’ armies. They would leave indelible marks on the Hellenistic World, first as plundering barbaroi and finally, as adapted, integral elements and members ofthe greatermulti-ethnic society that was taking shape around them. This paper will explore the roles played by the Celts by examining their infamous incursions into Macedonia and Greece, their phase of settlement and occupation ofwhat was to be called Galatia, their role as mercenaries, and finally their transition and adaptation, most noticeably on the individual level, to the demands of the world around them. This paper will also seek to challenge some of the traditionally hostile views held by Greek historians regarding the role, achievements, and the place the Celts occupied as members, not simply predators, of the Hellenistic World.2 19 THE DAWN OF THE CELTS IN THE HELLENISTIC WORLD The Celts were not unknown to all Greeks in the years preceding the Deiphic incursion of February, 279.

  • Map 44 Latium-Campania Compiled by N
    Map 44 Latium-Campania Compiled by N. Purcell, 1997 Introduction The landscape of central Italy has not been intrinsically stable. The steep slopes of the mountains have been deforested–several times in many cases–with consequent erosion; frane or avalanches remove large tracts of regolith, and doubly obliterate the archaeological record. In the valley-bottoms active streams have deposited and eroded successive layers of fill, sealing and destroying the evidence of settlement in many relatively favored niches. The more extensive lowlands have also seen substantial depositions of alluvial and colluvial material; the coasts have been exposed to erosion, aggradation and occasional tectonic deformation, or–spectacularly in the Bay of Naples– alternating collapse and re-elevation (“bradyseism”) at a staggeringly rapid pace. Earthquakes everywhere have accelerated the rate of change; vulcanicity in Campania has several times transformed substantial tracts of landscape beyond recognition–and reconstruction (thus no attempt is made here to re-create the contours of any of the sometimes very different forerunners of today’s Mt. Vesuvius). To this instability must be added the effect of intensive and continuous intervention by humanity. Episodes of depopulation in the Italian peninsula have arguably been neither prolonged nor pronounced within the timespan of the map and beyond. Even so, over the centuries the settlement pattern has been more than usually mutable, which has tended to obscure or damage the archaeological record. More archaeological evidence has emerged as modern urbanization spreads; but even more has been destroyed. What is available to the historical cartographer varies in quality from area to area in surprising ways.

  • A Long Time Ago, There Was a King Named Numitor Who Ruled an Ancient City in Italy Called Alba Longa
    A long time ago, there was a king named Numitor who ruled an ancient city in Italy called Alba Longa. Numitor had a younger brother named Amulius who one day overthrew Numitor and took over Alba Longa. However, Amulius did not want to cause any conflict, so he killed Numitor’s male heirs and forced Numitor’s only daughter, Rhea Silvia, to become a Vestal Virgin, so she could not marry or have children. Amulius was worried that Rhea would have a son who would eventually overthrow him. However, Rhea Silvia fell in love with Mars, the Roman God of War and they had twin sons. Rhea Silvia had betrayed her vows of being a Vestal Virgin, and the penalty was usually death. However, Amulius feared the wrath of Mars and did not want to kill Rhea Silvia. Instead, King Amulius imprisoned Rhea Silvia and ordered a servant to put the twins in the River Tiber. Amulius reasoned that if the twins were to die from the elements, the city would be saved from the angry god. When the servant reached the river bank with the twins, he could not throw them in. He looked down at the babies sitting together in the basket, their tiny arms wrapped around one another and he thought about his own young sons. Instead, he placed their basket into the river and let the current carry the basket, in hope that someone would see the twins and rescue them. Eventually, a compassionate she-wolf came across the basket in the river and pulled the babies out to safety.

It is therefore a question of developing an "ecosystem" made up of hospitality, services, products, experiences, a “unicum” in which the global market can express great interest, increasingly adding to the paradigms of the past the new ones made possible by digitization.
