Summary
The chapter surveys the evidence from colonial sites that were founded or resettled in the early part of the 2nd century BCE, concentrating on the well-documented cases of Cosa, Luna, Puteoli, and Aquileia. The discussion emphasizes how the physical aspect of colonial settlements developed beyond the initial foundation through the continued interaction between colonists of different backgrounds and locals, often combining the efficient management of labor resources with the broader need to build new communal identities.
