Produktbeschreibung
In this new and authoritative history of the Roman republic, distinguished historian Klaus Bringmann traces the rise of a small city state near the Tiber estuary into a power that controlled the Italian peninsula and created the final Empire of antiquity, an Empire that was to become both the most enduring in the ancient world and to have the most far-reaching consequences for posterity. Whilst this book is chronologically organized, giving the reader a clear sense of the historical progress and dynamics of Roman republican history, it also offers a coherent and authoritative overview of the culture, economics, religion and military might of the Roman empire, presented in an original and stimulating way. Thoroughly referenced and illustrated throughout, with a wealth of primary sources from great Roman writers such as Cicero and Plutarch, A History of the Roman Republic will be essential reading for university students in history and classical studies. It will also appeal to a wider audience of general readers who are interested in the history of the Ancient world and its legacy.

Rezensionen
"Bringmann's thorough and detailed survey of the RomanRepublic will be a welcome resource for those seeking anintroduction to the period."

Celia Schulz, Yale University

"In this work, the author has shown himself to be fullyconversant with both primary and secondary sources, and hassucceeded in presenting a thorough analysis of the rise and fall ofthe Roman Republic. One particular strength of Bringmann'sstudy is that he frequently challenges the traditionalinterpretation of various events or policies, thereby preventinghis work from being a mere historical narrative. I would certainlyrecommend this work to anyone interested in the history of theRoman Republic."
