Lo Stato e l'istruzione pubblica nell'Impero Romano by Corrado Barbagallo

"Lo Stato e l'istruzione pubblica nell'Impero Romano" by Corrado Barbagallo is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The text explores the origins and evolution of public education throughout the Roman Empire, emphasizing the central government's role in educational reform and institution-building. Barbagallo aims to fill a gap in historical literature concerning public education and to illustrate how Roman governance influenced educational practices across varying regions. The opening of the book sets the stage for an in-depth examination of public education, asserting that it was primarily an Italian creation that spread throughout Europe. It begins with a reflection on the lack of dedicated studies regarding ancient public education, despite its significance in civilization. The author highlights key historical figures, such as Augustus, who shaped educational policies and practices, and introduces the necessity of exploring educational institutions and their conditions across the Roman Empire. Barbagallo emphasizes that understanding the development of public education is crucial for recognizing its impact on the societal fabric of the Roman world.
