Deftly navigating between text driven Romanocentric narratives, and the world of memory studies, Bernard offers an original and revealing study of Italian historical culture. We meet ancestors and founders, cities in the making, and innovative descriptions of time. This is a book that rewrites the way the people of Italy in the first millennium BCE thought about their past, and in so doing, refreshes our notion of history itself. * Christopher Smith, University of St Andrews * Far from being peoples without history, early Italians lived among a multitude of textual and material markers that spoke volumes about their own past. For the first time, this book gives a rich and resonant voice to non-Latin speakers throughout the peninsula, emphasizing the role of their historical narratives, typically overshadowed by those of the Romans. * Nic Terrenato, University of Michigan *
