Republicanism, Rhetoric, and Roman Political Thought develops
readings of Rome's three most important Latin historians - Sallust,
Livy and Tacitus - in light of contemporary discussions of
republicanism and rhetoric. Drawing on recent scholarship as well
as other classical writers and later political thinkers, this book
develops interpretations of the three historians' writings
centering on their treatments of liberty, rhetoric, and social and
political conflict. Sallust is interpreted as an antagonistic
republican, for whom elite conflict serves as an outlet and channel
for the antagonisms of political life. Livy is interpreted as a
consensualist republican, for whom character and its observation
helps to maintain the body politic. Tacitus is interpreted as being
centrally concerned with the development of prudence and as a
subtle critic of imperial rule.
