Whether we choose to focus on the historical and literary texts or the material remains, there is little doubt that the Romans were passionately aware of their own identity. Since the focus of this volume is the archaeology of Rome and ancient Italy, this chapter includes primarily examples of material remains, while at the same time not ignoring the historical background. The chapter presents a table that contrasts historical events, archaeological terminology and archaeological dates with events in early Rome. While the early city of Rome may not appear to have been destined to the global importance it later achieved, the overall location and the ambitions of the early inhabitants certainly set the city apart from its neighbors and counterparts in Italy, and perhaps even the Mediterranean.
