Gaio Mario (157-86 a.C.), comandante militare e uomo politico, fu un personaggio controverso: non solo a causa delle ombre e delle luci del suo carattere volitivo, ma anche delle sue azioni a favore e contro Roma. Gaio Mario. Alle origini della crisi di Roma illustra le vicende personali e il ruolo pubblico di Mario, dagli esordi del personaggio nella Guerra Numantina, nel 134-133, alla sua libera legazia in Anatolia (98 a.C.), mettendo in rilievo gli aspetti istituzionali, famigliari e sociali del processo politico. Il volume, inoltre, propone una lettura allargata del processo politico, mettendo a fuoco anche personaggi minori. La narrazione si conclude con la descrizione della spedizione militare di Lucio Cornelio Silla in Anatolia, che apri a Roma una finestra sull’ Asia interna. Gaio Mario si collega a una precedente pubblicazione, Sangue chiama sangue, Terrore e atrocita nella Roma di Mario e Silla (L’ERMA di BRETSCHNEIDER Roma, 2016), rispetto alla quale costituisce il prequel. I due volumi sono il risultato di un unico progetto di ricerca indipendente svolto dall’ Autore nel 213 quale Visiting Scholar Researcher presso la University of California, Berkeley – Department of Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology.
