Comment on Show HN: I am building a map of people who lived in the Roman Empireparent

Comments

have there been any interesting revelations in understanding the history of the Roman Empire in the past 30 years? Newer manuscripts or artifacts discovered ?

The short answer is yes. Successo-Terra has done a lot of work on the preroman history of Italy quite recently.
