Reseña del libro "Rome at War: Farms, Families, and Death in the Middle Republic (Studies in the History of Greece and Rome)"
Rosenstein reinterprets the relationship between warfare, small farms, and family structure in Rome and Italy during the Middle Republic, 320 to 100 B.C. Rome's conquests won it an empire but also brought the Republic's social and political institutions to the point of collapse. Most scholars assert that steady conscription brought about the demise of small farms and impoverishment. Rosenstein argues instead that heavy military mortality rates created a dramatic increase in the birthrate that led to overpopularion, landlessness, and chaos.
