Marie-Michelle Pagé, « Colonisation et structures agraires dans l’Italie républicaine : autour du transfert des Ligures Apuani (181 av. J.-C.) », Dialogues d'histoire ancienne, ID : 10.3406/dha.2012.3457
Colonisation and agrarian structures in Republican Italy: about the transfer of the Ligurians Apuani (181 B.C.). In 181 B. C., the Roman power decided to transfer 47 000 Ligurians Apuani in the Samnium area. This article focuses mainly on the idea that this move was in some way a type of Roman colonisation and, based on this point of view, will explore the questions of land occupation and exploitation, as well as the transformations of the general organisation of the city of the Ligures Baebiani, created after such relocation. The general analysis mostly shows the agrarian structures of that city, like the types of resources management it had put into light, have been adapted to a particular colonial context, linked in that case to a compelled movement of population, and have somewhere succeeded to last.
