The Fall of the Roman Republic (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Revised and updated to include the latest research in the field, this second edition of a popular history text examines how the Roman republic was destabilized by the unplanned growth of the Roman Empire.

Central discussion points include:

• the government of the republic
• how certain individuals took advantage of the expansion of the empire
• Julius Caesar's accession to power
• the rise of the Augustan principate following Julius Caesar's murder.

Drawing on a wealth of recent scholarship and including an expanded and updated guide to further reading, a chronology, and a guide to the provinces of the Roman Empire, students of history and classical studies will find this a helpful and accessible introduction to this complex period in history.
