(London, 1979), a valuable collection of papers by experts.

W. V. H
ARRIS
,
War and Imperialism in Republican Rome 327–70
BC (Oxford, 1979), argues for a much more aggressive Roman foreign policy than many recent writers.

M. P
ALLOTTINO
, ‘Lo svillupo socio-istituzionale di Roma arcaica’,
Studi Romani
, 1979, 1 ff. This records,
inter alia
, the discovery of a fourth Etruscan inscription in Rome. It is inscribed on a small ivory lion, comes from S. Omobono, and is to be dated
c.
580 – 60
BC
. It runs
araz silqetenas spurianas
. Thus two names follow the praenomen
araz
, but Spurianas could be a patronymic or a second name.

F. C
ASTAGNOLI
,
Archeologica Laziale
, 1 (1978), 13 f., writes about the statues of Minerva, etc., from Lavinium (see above, p. 40).

P. S. D
EROW
, ‘Polybius, Rome and the East’,
JRS
, 1979, 1 ff.: Polybius’ view was that from
c.
200
BC
Rome sought universal obedience to her wishes and skilfully masked offensive designs as defensive wars.
