Review of the “Lusitanian robbery”. Analysis of the land problem in Appiens’ work
Abstract
The study of the “Lusitanian robbery” led to an important research since the late nineteenth century. Nevertheless, and despite a gradual shift in modern historiography towards a more nuanced approach to the origin of the phenomenon, the problem of land still remains a central concern of many historians and archaeological. From a close discussion of the main passages of Livy, Diodorus and Appian especially relating to the relationship that some have sought to establish between lack and / or poverty of the land and development of robbery among the Lusitanians, it gives a review of the socio-economic interpretation.Downloads
