АРМИЯ И ПОЛИТИЧЕСКАЯ СИСТЕМА РАННЕГО РИМА В СОВРЕМЕННЫХ ЗАРУБЕЖНЫХ ИССЛЕДОВАНИЯХ

Abstract

The review examines the works of foreign historians, which present a new version of the evolution of military and political power in the Early Roman Republic. As shown in the research, the institutionalization of the military command system was due to the transformation of the character of the Roman war in the second half of the V - first half of the IV century BC: the transition from mainly «private wars», which were essentially predatory raids, to a more centralized, «state» model of war, focused on the appropriation of territory on a large scale.
