Cambridge University Press, Cambridge (.), n.d.(>2018). X,274p. Paperback. 'This book has many strengths, not the least of which is Osgood?s ability to construct an engaging and insightful narrative. Each chapter begins with a vignette that grabs the reader?s attention while also providing a useful illustration of major themes that will be the focus of the chapter. Osgood?s skill at drawing out apparently minor details or events that have broad and important implications is also praiseworthy. There are also a number of helpful tables and figures that condense or illustrate information discussed in the text of the chapter.

In this book, Josiah Osgood offers a new survey of this most vivid period of Roman history, the Late Republic. While many discussions focus on politics in the city of Rome itself, his account examines developments throughout the Mediterranean and ties political events more firmly to the growth of overseas empire. The volume includes a broad overview of economic and cultural developments. By extending the story well beyond the conventional stopping date of Julius Caesar's assassination in 44 BCE, Osgood ultimately moves away from the old paradigm of the fall of the Republic. The Romans of the Late Republic emerge less as the disreputable gangsters of popular imagination and more as inspired innovators.…
