The eloquent dialogue and intricate character development found in each play highlight Wilde's mastery of the theatrical medium and his skillful storytelling prowess. Set against the backdrop of the Victorian era, Wilde's plays shed light on the societal norms and values of the time, offering a poignant reflection on the human condition and the complexities of human relationships. Oscar Wilde, a prominent figure in the Victorian literary scene, drew inspiration from his own life experiences and observations of society to create the rich tapestry of characters and themes found in his plays. A visionary and a provocateur, Wilde challenged conventional beliefs and norms through his work, pushing the boundaries of what was deemed acceptable in his time. His wit and charm, coupled with his keen insight into human nature, continue to resonate with readers and scholars today, solidifying his status as a literary icon.

    Before the Romans could become masters of the Mediterranean, they had to first conquer the people of their own peninsula. This book explores the origins of Roman imperialism and the creation of Rome's early Italian empire, bringing new light and interpretations to this important but problematic period in Roman history. It explains how and why the Romans were able to expand their influence within Italy, often through the use of armed conflict, laying the foundations for their great imperial project. 
     
     
     
    This book critically reexamines and reframes the traditional literary narrative within an archaeologically informed, archaic Italian context. Jeremy Armstrong presents a new interpretation of the early Roman army, highlighting the fluid and family-driven character which is increasingly visible in the evidence. Children of Mars argues that the emergence of Rome's empire in Italy should not be seen as the spread of a distinct "Roman" people across Italian land, but rather the expansion of a social, political, and military network amongst the Italian people. Armstrong suggests that Rome's early empire was a fundamentally human and relational one. While this reinterpretation of early Roman imperialism is no less violent than the traditional model, it alters its core dynamic and nature, and thus shifts the entire trajectory of Rome's Republican history.
