English summary: This book focuses on the political history of Late Republican Rome between the rise of Gaius Marius and the death of Lucius Cornelius Sulla (100-78BC). It is an introduction to the dramatic events of the years that began the Roman world’s long, turbulent transition from Republic to Empire. Italian description: Il periodo della storia di Roma che va dal sesto consolato di Gaio Mario alla morte di Lucio Cornelio Silla (100-78 a.C.) vide la definitiva rottura del sistema costituzionale e la crisi del sistema politico in un contesto generale caratterizzato anche da guerre esterne e dalla prima guerra civile, nonchedalla dittatura di Silla, e infine dal recupero dell’egemonia politica da parte delle grandi famiglie romane. “Sangue chiama sangue” e un’ introduzione alle drammatiche vicende storiche di quegli anni, che diedero inizio alla lunga, tormentata transizione dalla Repubblica all’Impero. Basato su uno studio vasto e attento delle fonti e della saggistica contemporanea, il volume pone un’ enfasi sugli aspetti politici dei grandi processi ed eventi dell’epoca, ma anche sugli aspetti umani, famigliari e sociali del processo politico; e ripropone una lettura allargata di quest’ultimo, mettendo l’accento anche su personaggi “minori”. Il libro e il prodotto di un autonomo progetto di ricerca svolto nel 2013 presso la University of California, Berkeley-Department Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology, Berkeley, California, Stati Uniti d’America.
