Abstract
AbstractFollowing the unification of Italy in the 19th century, Massimo d'Azeglio memorably articulated for the first session of parliament of the Kingdom of Italy the hardest task facing the new nation-builders: ‘We have made Italy: now we must make Italians’. Much the same problem confronted the Roman governing class in the decades following the Social War, although in this case there was no strong desire to create a new unified political entity embracing Italy, and no template other than the slow and piecemeal approach of municipal evolution between the 4th and 3rd centuries. This chapter draws together the threads of the preceding arguments, examining how far municipalization spread after the Social War, how it manifested itself over time, and how, if at all, a new Italy and new Italians were made.
