This is an extract from what survives of the enormous history of
Rome from the kings to his own time by the 2nd-century Alexandrian
writer, Appian. It covers the increasing violence that changed the
face of Roman politics and society from Tiberius Gracchus, through
the enormously influential struggles of Sulla and Marius, Caesar
and Pompey, to Octavian nad Mark Antony (though not the resolution
at Actium). The dense narrative has a relentless momentum, relating
the birth of an empire through its internal conflicts. The
translation is supported by a very thorough introduction, an
appendix covering Roman social organization, and maps. This is a
book for lovers of the history of power struggles, and for students
of the period who wish to compare this verison of famous events
with those of other, sometimes better-known, Roman historians.
(Kirkus UK)
Covering the period from 133 to 35 B.C., this exploration of the decline of the Roman state details the struggles of Marius against Sulla, Caesar against Pompeius, and Antonius and Octavian against Caesar’s assassins, Brutus and Cassius.
