'The book is of first-rate importance. It is a fundamental subject, extremely well done.' The Times Literary Supplement
In this book, first published in 1971, the author seeks to determine within broad limits the size of the Italian population in the period covered, chiefly on the basis of Roman census figures and of estimates of the number of men under arms year by year; use is made by way of analogy of demographic data from other ages.
