Abstract

ABSTRACT:A tangled tale of military resistance and reform (342 bce) includes a new rule that a man not be a centurion after being a military tribune, inspired, Livy notes, by soldiers’ dislike of P. Salonius, who moved between those ranks. This article examines this episode as evidence for the development of Rome’s military and the increasingly separate orientation of centurions and military tribunes therein. The framing of the story adds to our knowledge of the transmission of historical information at Rome, while its analysis allows us to view more critically the homogenizing representation of Roman soldiers as civic-minded agrarian small-holders.

最后的队伍:普布利乌斯·萨洛尼乌斯和早期罗马军队

摘要：Livy指出，一个关于军事抵抗和改革的复杂故事（公元前342年）包含了一条新规则，即一个人在成为军事论坛后不能成为百夫长，这是因为士兵们不喜欢在这些级别之间流动的P.Salonius。本文将这一事件作为罗马军事发展的证据，以及百夫长和军事论坛成员在其中日益分离的方向。故事的框架增加了我们对罗马历史信息传递的了解，而它的分析使我们能够更批判性地看待罗马士兵作为具有公民意识的农业小农户的同质化表现。
