| | The denial of Roman citizenship to allied Italian cities led to the Social War of 91–88 BC. | | | Families were based on blood ties (or adoption), but were also political and economic alliances. | | | It became an officially supported religion in the Roman state under Constantine I, and all religions except Christianity were prohibited in 391 by an edict of Emperor Theodosius I. |

| | Reviews of the Roman Forum Project |
| | Thus while the performance can mount a critique of the nature of postmodern political life by representing the loss of voice of the citizens, it can also enable new forms of voicing public opinion by bringing together and activating several modalities of discourse and deliberation. | | | I also applaud the circular stage that trapped the audience on the inside of it, with the living-statue-actors moving about as if in a parallel universe, speaking a discourse that seems foreign yet very familiar, especially when it came to revisiting the voting in Florida. | | | The Roman Forum Project is a brilliant, and brilliantly performed, critical reflection on the management of political life in America, the triumph of form (and image) over substance, contradictions in the American polity and the duplicity of recent political events (the Supreme Court's giving of the 2000 presidential election to the Republicans among them). |
