Synopsis

This book casts an in-depth look at Roman history from 78-31 B.C., when the Republic began its transition to the Roman Empire. The author describes the dramatic rise and fall of military leaders and their power struggles, eventually leading to the collapse of the Republic. This text begins with Tiberius Gracchus's influence as a tribune, whose role as a popular champion earned him and his followers the ire of the optimates or conservative faction of the Roman Senate. The author traces how this conflict led to the rise of demagogue-generals like Pompey and Caesar and the civil wars that followed. The book offers a detailed analysis of the military and political strategies that shaped the era, adding historical depth to our understanding of how a republic can succumb to an authoritarian regime.
