What difference did the Roman expansion make in the transformation of ancient Italy? With its conservative nature and abundance of material evidence, the religious sphere represents a unique lens through which we can study this process over time and across different sites. Tapping into the transformation of Italy as a result of Rome’s expansion, this book problematizes the issue of Romanization and sheds light on the different processes of adaptation that occurred during the Roman conquest. Editorial Reviews Review "In conclusion, Zapelloni Pavia’s work represents an invaluable synthesis for the study of inland central Italy’s religious landscape, a context where archaeological knowledge remains limited, and the scholarly literature is both sparse and highly fragmented. [...] The analysis, firmly grounded in the most sophisticated and up-to-date approaches to these topics, successfully overcomes the shortcomings of a now outdated traditional framework."
