Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The narrative delves into the early technological advancements of Rome, particularly the evolution of weaponry from copper and bronze to iron during the founding era. It highlights the influence of the Etruscans and Greeks on Roman designs, such as the leaf-shaped blades used by gladiators. The text also references Pliny's account of Porsena's brief rule, which restricted iron usage to agricultural purposes, underscoring the significance of metal in Rome's development and the cultural practices that shaped its identity.
