A crucial and turbulent centuryBy 146, Rome had established itself
as the leading Mediterranean power.Over the next century, it
consolidated its power into an immense territorial empire. At the
same time, the internal balance of power shifted dramatically, as a
narrow ruling elite was challenged first by the rest of Italy, and
then by military commanders, a process which culminated in the
civil war between Pompey and Caesar and the re-establishment of
monarchy. Catherine Steel tells the history of this crucial and
turbulent century, focussing on the issues of freedom, honour,
power, greed and ambition, and the cherished but abused
institutions of the Republic which were central to events then and
which have preoccupied historians ever since.Key features: " traces
the processes of change which transformed Rome from a republic to a
monarchy" explores a period of political crisis in relation to its
military and cultural dynamism" analyses the political culture of
the Roman Republic as a dynamic and evolving system which reflected
changes in citizenship and in the ruling elite
