In this book, Gary D. Farney explores how senators from Rome’s Republican period celebrated and manipulated their ethnie identity to get ahead in Rome’s political culture. He examines how politicians from various lands tried to advertise positive aspects of their ethnie identity, how others tried to re-create a négative identity into some-thing positive, and how ethnie identity advertisement developed over the course of Republican history.
