Summary
On the basis of settlement dislocation and thanks also to careful settlement size analysis of the whole Tiber valley, we can hypothesise that in Phase IVA Rome exercised a kind of hegemony over an area of at least 500 km, which extended from Crustumerium to Ficana and which probably included small parts of the coastal area and of the right bank of the Tiber. The territory of Rome in this phase can be described in terms of the city state model: a central place with satellite settlements acting as fortresses along the boundaries.
