Book excerpt: Excerpt from Phases of Corruption in Roman Administration in the Last Half-Century of the Roman Republic: A Dissertation; Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Literature in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy; Department of Latin For various reasons publication has been delayed for three years. My Chapter on graft in the navy was completed before the appearance of Mr. Cowles' interesting study on Gaius Verres. It is a pleasure to find that we are in substantial agreement in our views of Verres' naval administration. But I could not well omit my own presenta tion of the facts without materially altering the plan of the work; I have accordingly left it unchanged. In the Chapter on Client Princes I am under especial obligations to Mr. Sands' admirable essay for the picture of the conditions which placed these petty rulers in a position of complete subservience to Rome.

Book Mortal Republic

  • Author : Edward J. Watts
  • Publisher : Basic Books
  • Release : 2018-11-06
  • ISBN : 0465093825
  • Pages : 339 pages

Download or read book Mortal Republic written by Edward J. Watts and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn why the Roman Republic collapsed -- and how it could have continued to thrive -- with this insightful history from an award-winning author. In Mortal Republic, prize-winning historian Edward J. Watts offers a new history of the fall of the Roman Republic that explains why Rome exchanged freedom for autocracy. For centuries, even as Rome grew into the Mediterranean's premier military and political power, its governing institutions, parliamentary rules, and political customs successfully fostered negotiation and compromise. By the 130s BC, however, Rome's leaders increasingly used these same tools to cynically pursue individual gain and obstruct their opponents. As the center decayed and dysfunction grew, arguments between politicians gave way to political violence in the streets. The stage was set for destructive civil wars -- and ultimately the imperial reign of Augustus. The death of Rome's Republic was not inevitable. In Mortal Republic, Watts shows it died because it was allowed to, from thousands of small wounds inflicted by Romans who assumed that it would last forever.

Book The Praetorship in the Roman Republic  Volume 2  122 to 49 BC

Download or read book The Praetorship in the Roman Republic Volume 2 122 to 49 BC written by T. Corey Brennan and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brennan's book surveys the history of the Roman praetorship, which was one of the most enduring Roman political institutions, occupying the practical center of Roman Republican administrative life for over three centuries. The study addresses political, social, military and legal history, as well as Roman religion. Volume I begins with a survey of Roman (and modern) views on the development of legitimate power—from the kings, through the early chief magistrates, and down through the creation and early years of the praetorship. Volume II discusses how the introduction in 122 of C. Gracchus' provincia repetundarum pushed the old city-state system to its functional limits.

Book War and Imperialism in Republican Rome  327 70 B C

Download or read book War and Imperialism in Republican Rome 327 70 B C written by William Vernon Harris and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1985 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 327 and 70 B.C. the Romans expanded their empire throughout the Mediterranean world. This highly original study looks at Roman attitudes and behavior that lay behind their quest for power. How did Romans respond to warfare, year after year? How important were the material gains of military success--land, slaves, and other riches--commonly supposed to have been merely an incidental result? What value is there in the claim of the contemporary historian Polybius that the Romans were driven by a greater and greater ambition to expand their empire? The author answers these questions within an analytic framework, and comes to an interpretation of Roman imperialism that differs sharply from the conventional ones.

Book The Case for the Prosecution in the Ciceronian Era

This book was released on 2010-02-24 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Case for the Prosecution in the Ciceronian Era is primarily a work of history, as it aims to shed light on what was actually said in these ancient trials. To accomplish that goal, it also draws on classical rhetorical theory and Roman law. By systematically considering a large number of trials, the book offers a corrective to the dominance of Ciceronian defense speeches in the study of ancient Roman criminal trials."--Jacket.
