Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Rome did not lose its republic to a tyrant. It surrendered it gradually, through the logic of its own ambitions - through senators who chose faction over institution, through generals who discovered that legions were more responsive than assemblies,…through a political culture that mistook dominance for governance. By the time Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon in January 49 BCE, the republic's constitutional framework had already been hollowed from within, its checks and balances corroded not by a single act of will but by decades of accumulated structural failure.The Senate's authority rested on a system of magistracies, vetoes, and annual terms designed to prevent the permanent concentration of power. What it could not prevent was wealth. The Optimates - Rome's conservative oligarchy - did not simply defend tradition. They defended a land distribution system that had transferred public agrarian holdings into private accumulation on a scale the republic's founding laws never anticipated. Against them stood the Populares, who discovered that popular assemblies, land reform, and the rhetoric of the dispossessed could be wielded as instruments of factional ambition as readily as institutional reform. The Gracchi had tried to recalibrate the system.
