Talk:Roman expansion in Italy

Citations?
From skimming this article I notice a lack of cited material, can we fix this? Jeff503 (talk) 01:40, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Very nice work, but indeed, it needs inline citations. Take a look at Roman Dacia for an example.--Codrin.B (talk) 22:00, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Early romanisation vs late
It may be worthwhile to temper the claims of romanisation during the 2nd century with the (I think very astute) views of Mouritsen Italian unification (BICS, 1998). Romanisation's actual completion during the empire biased sources towards retrojection; the Social War should not be seen so blithely as a war merely to enfranchise the allies; there was a real revolt against Roman rule underneath the imperial age sources.
