Krátky popis
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.
