Inhaltsangabe

This book is a study of the political and social evolution of ancient Rome, with a focus on the late Republic, a period which the author identifies as a pivotal moment in its history. The author argues that Rome's expansionist wars led to the acquisition of great wealth and power, but also to a decline in traditional values and a breakdown in social cohesion. The resulting corruption and unrest ultimately led to a series of civil wars and the eventual rise of the Roman Empire. The book's analysis explores the complex interplay of political, social, and economic factors that contributed to this dramatic transformation, providing a timely perspective on the challenges and perils of unchecked ambition and the dangers of societal decay.
