- 요약This dissertation examines the social identity formation of Roman soldiers and veterans during the late Republic and Augustan age. I argue that this identity formation occurred due to a civilian-military divide that developed during this period. Four main questions animate this study. 1) When and why did soldiers and veterans develop a social identity distinct from civilian society? 2) How did belonging to a social identity group influence the group behavior of soldiers and veterans, especially during times of civil conflict? 3) How did the interactions between soldiers and veterans and the broader civilian population define and reinforce the separation between the two? 4) How did veterans express their collective identity in opposition to the civilian population after settlement? To answer these questions, I employ social theory on identity development, identity representation, and intergroup relations-especially social identity theory and self-categorization theory. As Rome's military forces morphed from a civilian militia into a permanent standing-army, soldiers developed a common social identity derived from their group military experiences that set them apart from civilians. Extended years of service further from home, sometimes under the same commander, created a gulf between military and civilian existence. This divergence between military and civilian life and the loyalty soldiers sometimes had for their commanders acted as a catalyst for identity construction. The institutionalization of a paid, standing army alongside the implementation of retirement remuneration and legal privileges of veterans helped to solidify a military-based social identity and ensured that the chasm between soldiers and civilians continued even after discharge. Conflict and the resulting resentment between soldiers and veterans from the civil wars and disruptive settlement programs entrenched the dichotomization between the two groups. Members within these groups, as well as outsiders, recognized this division, which was reflected in contemporary (and later) ancient literature, the self-presentation of ingroup members (especially via soldiers' funeral monuments), and the social life of the settlements. This study provides a deeper understanding of soldiers' conception of themselves and a new insight into their group behavior during a pivotal period of Roman history.
