This book explores the paradox in Greek and Roman perceptions of the mountain peoples in early Italy - as either dangerous, decadent, and snake-charming barbarians, or as austere, morally upright country-people and soldiers. The author is one of the first to consider in detail the different cultures of ancient Italy and show how Roman identity developed to encompass them.
