The analysis argues that the followers of Q. Sertorius forged a coherent movement for political reform that actively challenged the Sullan regime across several Roman provinces, including Hispania Ulterior, Hispania Citerior, and Asia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy integrating literary, epigraphic, numismatic, and archaeological evidence, the study reconstructs the political discourse developed by this group of exiles engaged in a Republican civil war. A central focus lies on the Sertorian \u003cem\u003eglandes inscriptae,\u003c\/em\u003e inscribed lead slingshots from Hispania bearing formulas such as \u003cem\u003eQ. Sertorius proconsul\u003c\/em\u003e on the obverse and values including \u003cem\u003eius, pietas, fides, veritas,\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003espes,\u003c\/em\u003e alongside symbols such as \u003cem\u003efasces,\u003c\/em\u003e palm branches, anchors, and rudders. These messages reveal a shared vocabulary of legality, moral authority, and imperial projection of power. Through this material, the book demonstrates the existence of two competing Republics, one ruled by the Sullani, the other by the Sertorians, contesting hegemony across the Mediterranean basin. It will appeal to scholars of Roman civil wars, provincial history, political language and symbolism, as well as material culture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":53961397272914,"sku":"9783515140041","price":62.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/unnamed_20dd7dbb-85c5-424b-b813-766ba529148d.jpg?v=1783587015","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/sertorius-the-exiles-of-the-sullan-regime-and-the-provinces-of-the-empire","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
