Why is it important?
Understands the Romans as responding to and reflecting on their own experience of politics
Perspectives
The Romans have long been viewed as having very little to add to our thinking about politics, frequently seen as largely derivative of Greek thought. This book approaches the Romans on their own terms, exploring how the questions the Romans ask and the different answers they give are distinctive and profound.
