Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This book is the first comprehensive treatment of the history of Umbria in the first millennium BC. It examines the situation that existed in Umbria before the Roman conquest, the reasons why local communities failed to resist the Roman advance, and the effects that Roman domination had on this region. Particular attention is paid to the ethnic identity and material culture of the inhabitants of the region, the development of city life, and the religious activities practised there.
MoreLong description:
How should we understand the ways in which the regions of Italy were affected by Roman imperialism? This book, which is the first full-scale treatment of ancient Umbria in any language, takes a balanced view of the region's history in the first millennium BC, focusing on local actions and motivations as much as the effect of outside influences and Roman policies. Through a careful reading of all the types of evidence it provides an important challenge to traditional treatments emphasising the 'Romanization' of the region, arguing that this is a poor explanation for the complexity of local societies in the late Republican period. Instead it proposes that other trends, particularly the organization of states, help to explain the fascinating plurality of identities that are evident in the imperial period and allow us to appreciate the diversity of local societies that emerged in both mountain and lowland areas of Umbria.
This monograph should take its place on our bookshelves as the standard work in English on this region
