Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the social and political life of Ancient Rome, focusing on the inner workings of municipal politics in Pompeii. The author, drawing on a wealth of evidence from inscriptions, epitaphs, and legal documents, explores the methods employed by candidates to win office, including the use of election posters, a common practice in the Roman world. This book goes beyond mere historical description to delve into the heart of Pompeian society, highlighting the role of guilds, social organizations, and even individuals in shaping the political landscape. By examining the issues that Pompeians debated and the tactics employed in campaigns, the author reveals the dynamism of local politics and the degree to which ordinary citizens engaged in the selection of their magistrates.
