The Cambridge Companion to the Roman Republic examines all
aspects of Roman history and civilization from 509–49 BC. The key
development of the republican period was Rome''s rise from a small
city to a wealthy metropolis and international capital of an
extensive Mediterranean empire. These centuries produced the
classic republican political system and the growth of a world
empire. They also witnessed the disintegration of this system under
the pressure of internal dissension and boundless ambition of its
leading politicians. In this Companion volume, distinguished
European and American scholars present a variety of lively
approaches to understanding the political, military, and social
aspects of Roman history, as well as its literary and visual
culture. Designed to be accessible to the general reader and to
students, The Cambridge Companion to the Roman Republic will invite
further exploration to a vital, formative period of Roman history
and its later influence.
