What is one of the best ways to successfully predict the future?
Winston Churchill believed that the further back you look, the
further forward you are likely to be able to see. This intriguing
book is testimony to this idea. It looks back two thousand years to
the Roman Empire to help us to see into our own future. We imagine
the Roman Empire as being a world very distant from ours, so
distant that we may think we have nothing to learn from them. That
however would be a mistake. The causes of the triumphs and
disasters of our times are much the same as those of the Roman
Empire. The Romans were people like us and the wisest of their
great men and women were as wise as the best of ours.
Unfortunately, the most foolish of theirs were just as the foolish
as the worst of ours. Pugnare is the first historical account of
the Roman Empire written from a practical business perspective. It
is also about people, because business is about people. We can
learn a lot from their behaviour, from their successes and
failures.
