The Roman Republic was governed by a small group of men who agreed
far more than they disagreed on the fundamental questions facing
the state. The details of their public behaviour can thus only be
understood in relation to the idiosyncrasies deeply embedded in
Roman political culture, one of the most important of which was
that of personal hatred - 'inimicitia'. Personal Enmity in Roman
Politics, first published in 1987, explores how 'inimicitia' could
arise and how it was often central in the formation of political
factions. In particular, groups opposing such powerful figures as
Pompey and Caesar might be united by nothing more than common
hatred of the individual. An important feature too was the criminal
trial, because of the highly personal nature of the Roman adversary
system at the time: Epstein argues that personal factors were more
important than political ones in the famous trials of the late
Republic.
