colonization was represented as military in nature.Even with this analysis of late-Republican literary accounts, it is difficult to discern what, if anything, was the mid-Republican ideology of colonization.A narrative of colonization is also difficult to discern from the literary sources.Livy is the most instructive source, but most of his entries list little more than the name ofthe colonies and sometimes legal details or the names of the commissioners. Also,because of the gaps in his Ab Urbe Condita, our information for the tresviri coloniaededucendae before the second Punic War is scarce at best. Livy's account, especially,did not survive for the years 292 BCE (after the end of book 10) through 219 BCE (thebeginning of book 21) except in summary form. 150There are a few colonization effortsfor which the commissioners are listed before 219, including Saticula (313), Cales (334),and, from the priscae latinae coloniae, Antium (467) and Ardea (442). 151Thesecommissions seem to follow the principles for the commissions of the late third and earlysecond centuries, as discussed throughout this chapter, but such a small representationonly allows for speculation about the nature of the commissions in the first century ofRoman colonization.Even within Livy's accounts, commissioners are only related by name for twentyIbid. pp. 209-210. See below for new interpretations of what early Roman colonization was more likelyto have been.150 Cf. Orlin (1997), p. 6 for the problems this gap causes for the list of temples in Rome.151 Antium: (Livy 3.1.6, Dion. Hal. 9.59.2) T.
