A History of Earliest Italy (Routledge Revivals)

In A History of Earliest Italy, first published in 1984, Professor Pallottino illumines the wide variety of peoples, languages, and traditions of culture and trade that constituted the pre-Roman Italic world. In telling the story of the early stages of the eternal dialogue between national vocation and local diversity in Italy, he demonstrates that it is no less deserving of our attention than its contemporary Greek and later imperial Roman counterparts.
