[Usyd_Classics_Events] Classics and Ancient History Upcoming Online Research Seminar (Thurs Oct 1)

[Ben Brown]

Dear Friends,
We are happy to invite you to the next Classics and Ancient History/CCANESA online research seminar coming up next Thursday October 1st (4pm for 4.15pm).
Our presenter is University of Sydney HDR candidate, James Winestock.
James will present a paper entitled:
“The effects of plunder on non-elite Italians, 200-167 BCE.”
Abstract:
This paper examines the effects of plunder and spoils on the wealth of non-elites in Roman Italy in the Second Century BCE with a particular focus on soldier bonuses. It is often taken for granted that Roman soldiers were able to secure considerable riches for themselves as Rome expanded throughout the Mediterranean. I test that assumption by focusing on the quantitative evidence provided by Livy’s triumph records. I will compare the donatives handed out at triumphs between 200 and 167 BCE with price data and average incomes from the period. The picture that emerges is one of winners and losers, but also of a generally wealthier peasantry thanks to the donative.
Yes, there will be charts and graphs!
