Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the early Iron Age of Southern Europe, focusing on the founding of Rome and its weaponry. It highlights how early Romans, influenced by the Etruscans and Greeks, crafted blades from copper and bronze before transitioning to iron. The narrative includes historical insights, such as Pliny's account of Porsena's conquest, which restricted the use of iron for anything beyond agriculture. This examination reveals the evolution of materials and techniques in Roman warfare and their cultural significance.
