Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The Roman Republic (509-31BC), which followed the overthrow of the monarchy, was designed to prevent a tyrant ever ruling Rome again. Executive power was entrusted to two annually elected consuls, while the Senate acted as their advisory council. The system brought stability and Rome grew rapidly from a small city-state into an empire which dominated the Mediterranean. However, the Republic perished in 31BC after decades of civil war in which great warlords such as Julius Caesar, Pompey the Great, Mark Antony and Octavian fought for supreme power. This text offers an account of ancient Rome over five centuries of expansion and shows how, ultimately, it was the empire which brought the Republic to an end. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Pap. Minor shelf wear. Else a bright, clean copy. Why did the aristocracy of the Roman Republic destroy the system of government which was its basis? The answers given by ancient authorities are moral corruption and personal ambition. The modern student finds only too inevitable the causal nexus of political conflict, violence, military insurrection and authoritarian government. Yet before the era of intense violence Rome had an apparently stable constitution with a long history. In this revised edition of his classic book, for which he has written a new introduction, Andrew Lintott examines the roots of violence in Republican law and society and the growth of violence in city war and the power of armies. It suggests in conclusion that this disaster was more the outcome of folly in the choice of political means than depravity in the choice of ends.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Twelve fragments of bronze were found near Urbino in the late fifteenth century, engraved with Roman laws - on one side a law concerning extortion, on the other an agrarian law. Dating as they do from the time of the Gracchi and of Marius in the later years of the Roman Republic, the laws are of considerable interest to Roman historians and are important evidence for the understanding of the revolutionary period that led to the overthrow of the Republic. In this volume, Dr Lintott offers a complete re-edition of these complicated and fragmentary texts, including a revision of the relationship between the fragments and full discussion of the manuscript sources of those now lost. The texts are accompanied by facing English translations and the commentary, which follows discusses in detail the issues involved in establishing and restoring the texts. A series of introductory chapters, written as far as possible in non-technical language, give a summary of the context of the laws from both a legal and an historical view point.…
