Abstract

Abstract A first synthesis of available data for the period of Rome’s expansion in Italy (about 400–29 b.c.e.) shows the role of climate and environment in early Roman imperialism. Although global indices suggest a warmer phase with relatively few short-term climate events occuring around the same time as the expansion, local data emphasize the highly variable timing and expression of these trends. This variability casts doubt on ideas of a unitary, historically consequential “Roman Warm Period.” The historical importance of climate and environment to socioeconomic development merits emphasis, but should be understood in terms of evolving, contingent forms of resilience and risk-mitigating behavior by Italian communities during Roman expansion.

罗马在意大利扩张的环境和气候史

摘要对罗马在意大利扩张时期（约公元前400–29年）的可用数据的首次综合显示了气候和环境在早期罗马帝国主义中的作用。尽管全球指数表明，在扩张的同时，出现的短期气候事件相对较少，但当地数据强调了这些趋势的时间和表达高度可变。这种可变性使人们对单一的、具有历史意义的“罗马温暖期”的想法产生了怀疑。气候和环境对社会经济发展的历史重要性值得强调，但应该从罗马扩张期间意大利社区不断演变的、偶然的复原力和风险缓解行为的角度来理解。
