Produktbeschreibung

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2016 in the subject History - World History - Antiquity, Indiana University (College of Arts and Sciences), course: SP16-BL-HIST-J300-8627 "The Fall of the Roman Republic", language: English, abstract: This brief research paper is intended as a rudimentary historical analysis of the immediate political, societal, and economic effects from 133 to 121 BC of the political and policy-oriented measures undertaken by tribunes Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus within the Roman Republic. The argument forwarded by the paper asserts that, had the Gracchi been more receptive to political compromise and less audacious in their policy pursuits, that more gradual reforms of Roman agrarian policy would have likely been more attainable. Academic resources utilized for the paper's formation include "Shotter, D. The Fall of the Roman Republic. London: Routledge, 1996," and, "Mackay, Christopher S. The Breakdown of the Roman Republic: From Oligarchy to Empire. New York: Cambridge University Press, 2009," as well as the primary accounts of Greek chronicler Plutarch.
