Synopsis

Through the study of epigraphic documents, the contribution aims at exploring the problem of the date of the beginning of the civic year in the communities of Roman Italy in the light of the measures in force in Rome between the Republican and Imperial ages. It will be also shown how, in some cases, the beginning of the civic year was indipendent from the rules adopted by Roman communities, in favor of local habits.
